I enjoyed this book alot! I've been a massive fan of Audrey Carlan since I had the opportunity to read the amazing Trinity Trilogy (my favorite) and the Falling series. Once more she has succeeded in taking readers on a magical and exciting journey. Resisting Roots is book one of The Lotus House Series and can be read as a standalone. It is a romantic, sensual, hot and steamy love story. This is the kind of book that makes your heart happy.

WHOA WHOA WHOA! I just finished this book in one sitting. LOVED IT!!!! Seriously, I could not put this book down. This is a standalone, contemporary, baseball star and yoga instructor romance.

Sweet, low angst, predictable, fluffy. For what it was, it was good.
Genevieve is a young yoga instructor and part-time hair dresser with a mountain of responsibility and no time for men. Trent is a great MLB player player who is recovering from hamstring surgery. When Trent is ordered to take his recovery seriously or risk losing his team contract, he attends Genevieve's yoga class. He quickly becomes intrigued by Genevieve and ends up setting up private sessions with her. Neither can deny their attraction to one another and things quickly heat up between the

This book is for you if you want to get more bored than you already are. Disrespectful and ignorant behaviour, misogyny and stealthing-like behaviour.

Originally, I gave Resisting Roots 4 stars. But after taking a night to ponder the story, I think there are too many errors to try to avoid and that I need to point out. I did enjoy the story though so it still receives 3 stars.
Resisting Roots is unique and different. I can tell Audrey Carlan put a lot of thought into writing this novel, and it shows. It is a really wonderful story.
But. There are holes. It feels very rushed at the end and it doesn't flow as well as it could. I also noticed a lot ...more

Is this supposed to be real life or fantasy? When the hero goes to this yoga studio, he meets a bunch of gorgeous women and the neighborhood is this magical place where everybody is everybody's friend and businesses charge a lot less for a lot of organic food. **Rolls eyes** I can't take all this saccharine shit and there's a LOT more yoga than I thought - not only does every chapter starts with a description of a yoga pose but we also have to hear detailed explanations from the ...more

I was given this book for my honest review
A simple vinaigrette consists of oil, vinegar and a pinch of salt seasonings are optional. Give it a strong whisking and you have a simple dressing that all will love on their salad. The saying goes however oil and vinegar do not mix but with this simple task of whisking air into the combination it combines for just a split second which will leave an amount of euphoria in your mouth.

I really enjoyed this but it shouldnt surprise me as Ive enjoyed the other books by Audrey Carlan that Ive read.
The angst wasnt very high, which I liked (at the moment) because lets face it, a girl needs a break from high angst at times.
Plus, I REALLY love the yoga aspect of this book/series. Its very unique and something Ive become interested in learning within the past year. 🧘♀🧘♂
Looking forward to continuing the series! ...more

Resisting Roots by Audrey Carlan
Narrated by Holly Chandler and Jacob Morgan
Erotic Romance. Standalone in a Series.
I grabbed Resisting Roots by Audrey Carlan on Audible when I found out it was going to be a Passionflix movie. I never even read the blurb. It began with the author telling us she was a yoga teacher in real life so her knowledge of yoga was extensive. And it was about a yoga teacher, something I haven't read before, so I was excited to listen.
Each chapter began with an ...more

I love this book that shows the strength and character of yoga instructor Genevieve Harper. She is responsible for her two younger siblings since the tragic death of their parents. She had to postpone her dream but does her best to keep the household going. She teaches yoga at Lotus House and cuts hair on the side to earn money.

Not bad for my first read by Audrey carlan. I can't wait for the passionflix movie
Resisting Roots is a sensual tale of life, love, and struggle. This book definitely follows along with Audrey's tagline of "Wicked Hot Love Stories". This isn't your usual "wicked hot love story". It has a focus on the art of yoga. In the Note to the Reader, Audrey specifies that the yoga teachings in the book were personally written as a Registered Yoga Teacher. As someone who has never tried yoga, this interested me even more in the book.

Super sweet and CRAZY sexy! Audrey Carlan is off to a stellar start with the first book in her new Lotus House series! As always, her characters were amazingly endearing with a genuine and relatable mix of perks and flaws. I loved how strong of a heroine Genevieve was and yet maintained her softness. Trent had all the makings for being a complete ass (and was already halfway gone before he met Genevieve) but with her impact on his life, turned out to be a total stand up, swoon worthy hero.

If youre a fan of Audrey Carlans books this one will not disappoint! I just couldnt put it down once I started, I read it in almost one go, the story of Trent and Genevieve will capture your heart. I love how the author gives an insight to the yoga positions and teachings at the start of each chapter. Its not just a red hot sexy love story, its also about family and commitment, coming to terms with loss and finding the strength to move on and face the future. Loved it! Cant wait for the next

If there is something that Audrey knows it's Yoga and how to write a hot book. Putting them together is a concept I have to admit I was hesitant about but in true AC fashion she proved me wrong. Resisting Roots is just the beginning of many stories involving the Lotus House and I have to say after reading Resisting Roots I am excited about the rest of the series.

Genevieve Harper is a gorgeous, young yoga instructor...with no time for a social life. After the death of her parents, she has taken on the responsibility of caring for her two younger siblings, and works hard to provide for them. The last thing she needs is a man to get in her way and distract her from what's most important.

I liked the blurb and the beautiful cover so the book was sold for me.
The story itself builts on a really good general idea, with the whole injured athleet and yoga instructor theme. And I like the characters and their backgrounds too.

I really enjoyed RR and cant wait to read the rest of the series. I liked the incorporation of Yoga into the story because I havent found anything else like it before. It was a unique twist to add poses and beliefs at the beginning of chapters. Even though Trent is a professional baseball player and Genevieve is a young woman struggling to support herself and her siblings it has a real feel to it. I liked Vivvies character, shes a strong character, one that doesnt whine and cry woe is me at

Wow. I couldn't put this book down!
First, I knew yoga was a wonderful practice but I didn't grasp the beauty of it until reading this book. It is amazing to me how Audrey took yoga and wicked hot sex and grouped them into a flowing novel.
Genevieve and Trent come from two different worlds. Genevieve the beautiful yogi and Trent the baseball player. Two different worlds that are weaved together through injury, love, lust, spirituality, and the desire from two people to make it work despite the ...more

I'm so happy to have found a great new author!!
Resisting Roots is a lovely romance story. That had left swooning for more.
The story was well written, developed, sexy and steady. I did love the touch of yoga mixed in.
Since I'm a yogi at heart. Everything about the book was perfect. Except that Genevieve did bug the crap out of me. Once you get past that the book is everything I needed.

Oh. My. Word.
Fans of Audrey will not be disappointed with this one. I swear they get better with every book she writes.
The story of super hot baseball pro Trent Fox and Genevieve Harper is one to take you on amazing ride, and then some. It is wicked hot (hot hot hot) did I say hot? I was lucky enough to be blessed with an advanced copy and I can truly say it was a read I couldn't put down but wanted to read as slow as possible so it wouldn't be over yet!
Loved every single word.

This was an emotional tale full of self discovery and determination. What Vivie thought would be a simple little fling to kill her three year sex drought turns into a full blown relationship with Trent. Be prepared for jealousy, love, tears, and all the complications of finding a new family.
This is the first book in a new Audrey Carlan series... and I think it's going to be a good one.
