If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a grumpy, plaid-clad lumberjack stumbles into a yoga studio, Tangled Up in Tree Pose by Jilli Waters is the cozy, slow-simmering, laugh-out-loud love story you didn’t know you needed.
Jude is the kind of man who smells like pine, sawdust, and stubborn pride. He’s devoted to his family’s Christmas tree farm, content with competition saws instead of relationships. Love, for him, is something other people do—preferably his brothers. But when an injured hip threatens his shot at a major lumberjack competition, Jude’s pride takes him somewhere he never thought he’d go: Bernie’s yoga studio.
Bernie is sunshine in human form—curvy, confident, and endlessly kind. Her world is all deep breaths and gentle stretches, and Jude crashes into it like a thunderstorm. Their chemistry sparks instantly, the kind that makes you grin and blush in equal measure. But what starts as a practical partnership—yoga for recovery—quickly turns into something warmer, funnier, and far more tender than either expected.
What makes this story special isn’t just the opposites-attract charm (though there’s plenty of that). It’s how Jilli Waters blends humor, heat, and heart into a romance that feels both grounding and giddy. Jude’s gruffness hides a surprisingly sweet vulnerability, while Bernie’s warmth and self-assurance make her the perfect match to melt his defenses. Together, they’re proof that balance isn’t just for yoga—it’s for love, too.
Told in dual POV, the story gives us both sides of the spark: Jude’s reluctant surrender and Bernie’s open-hearted hope. The result is a tale that’s as comforting as a cozy cabin in December and as steamy as a summer sunbeam through the pines.
A charming, feel-good romance full of heart, humor, and heat. If you love grumpy x sunshine, instant chemistry, and a hero who falls hard once he finally lets go, Tangled Up in Tree Pose will leave you smiling long after the last page.

The story of Jude and Bernie. She is a yoga teacher and he needs her help if he is to win the lumberjack contest with his injuries. Will he get a HEA like his brothers? I like how it is told from both points of view.

This was a quick, fun read with Instalove, a grumpy lumberjack, a sunshine yoga teacher and a connection worth melting for. This was a quick read, pallate cleanser that will make you rethink lumberjack competitions!
