"One workaholic CEO. One free-spirit yoga teacher. A thousand miles of temptation.

Crystal Ananda is fed up with her parents’ expectations. She has more to offer their yoga brand than just a pretty face. A wedding in the Adirondacks sounds like the perfect escape. But when a thunderstorm grounds her plane, she’s stuck hitching a ride with the bride’s brother. Bradford T. Huntington is arrogant, controlling, too handsome for his own good, and their rented Mustang is going to be a tight fit, what with all that baggage he’s carrying.

As CEO of the family business, Ford barely has time for other people’s weddings, let alone relationships of his own. But he needs his family to sign off on a make-or-break business deal, and nothing’s going to stand in his way. Not a canceled flight, not painful secrets, and definitely not an unpredictable, stubborn, way-too-flexible yoga teacher.

Crystal and Ford just want to get to the wedding and part ways. However, a speeding ticket, a bar fight, a karaoke contest, and two hot nights later, they’ve come to like each other far too much. It’s a long road to love, and neither one of them has a map. Can two total opposites go the distance?"

Crystal and Ford is so much opposite of each other that even God could not have made such perfect opposite people even if he tried. Crystal is all about inner peace and aura and psyche, yoga loving, anti-materialistic hippie to be precise and Ford is the CEO of a booming (supposedly booming) watch empire. Even their families does not see eye to eye. So when they are thrown together in for the wedding of their cousin and sister they have no other choice but to play along. And that is not something they are happy about needless to say. The fact that Crystal is strikingly beautiful with long legs that could go on forever isn’t helping Ford either and the brooding mysterious presence of Ford is definitely causing a disturbance in Crystal’s inner calm. But as Fates have it they are not only to survive the wedding but also a 900 miles car journey to New York. Will sparks fly between these two seemingly opposite characters or will they both destroy each other due to their volatile attitude. And what is this again about the fact that both Crystal and Ford is hiding their inner personality? Can it be that they are not so different after all?

Author Leigh Lavalle spins a great story of love and family filled with humor and hilarious moments. The characters are very interesting and enjoyable even Ford's uptight mother. And the protagonists are just too hilarious for their own good. I totally enjoyed the continuous banters going on between them all the time. Even their slow blooming romance was portrayed perfectly. Her writing is pure gold. I’ve not read such a humorous love story for a long time. I hope the others will also enjoy this book as much as I have.
