The Tantric Principle by Jennifer Probst* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*Arianna is an advertising executive that is feeling the effects of the daily stress of her job.  She is a smart, successful woman used to being in charge of all aspects of her life and doesn't like the disconnect she is feeling.  She decides to give yoga a chance; little did she realize it would change every aspect of her life.Grant has built his yoga school from the ground up after having to start fresh.  He made the mistake of marrying one of his students and lost everything, including his heart.  He now has one rule, "don't date students", that is until Arianna walks through his door.I love these two characters.  Arianna is such a strong female lead that isn't afraid to ask for what she wants.  She has worked hard to get to where she is and recognizes the need for something different in her life.  I love that she isn't afraid to be herself around Grant.  The one place she doesn't mind Grant taking control is the bedroom, where he is teaching her the art of Tantric.Grant seems like such a calm character when you first meet him, always in control of himself and all situations.  As the story progresses you realize that he is a complex character that is scared of letting go.  Since his divorce he has relied on meditation, yoga and tantric to remain in total control.  I loved the scene in his apartment when he finally let go.Their relationship started out as a casual affair but deepened over time.  She loved him enough to stay and he loved her enough not to ask her to.  They were faced with a difficult decision and had to decide if their relationship was worth saving. The decision Grant made at the end made me very happy, I wanted to see them work things out.Overall I really liked this story. It was more than a love story; it was a story about finding yourself.  I give The Tantric Principle 4 Flaming Hearts.
