Bend for Me

A player meets her match in a lost soul, but are their walls too thick for them to reach each other?

Avery Bennett does not know what hit her when she lays on yoga instructor Kadence Cooper. Avery is all about the game, hit and quit it. Do not get involved. Never give out too much information. Keep everything fun and light. She knows all of the one-liners, except when she is around Kadence. She manages to flub the one-liners or trip over a rock. Kadence is smooth and is not looking for anything either, but she does not want to even “hook up” with Avery. She has her own battles to beat and Avery is just a distraction. A distraction that now shows up everywhere and she cannot get off her mind. Avery is having the same problem as Kadence is in every thought, dream, and sentence. Avery's only choice is to make a play.

Jessica Yeh brings a lot of humor to Bend For Me (2019). I found Avery and Kadence to be a really fun couple to read about and to root for a happy ending. Yeh does bring serious issues as hurdles for each individual and the couple to overcome, but it does not weigh down the story. I was surprised that the only detailed sex scene is not between the Avery and Kadence, matter of fact Avery and Kadence are pretty PG. Instead Yeh focuses on the relationship and the growth of them as individuals. The story is not as boring as that just sounded, due to the humor that Yeh interjects. Avery's character is a hoot and she goes through the biggest transformation. I am not sure she would have changed as much as she did, but it is an interesting twist. Bend was a quick read and Avery and Kadence are fun to be around. I will admit that Yeh does not make want to take up yoga, but she does make me want to read another book of her's.
