Description
Lydia McKenzie is not a runner. Not even close. But in her quest to be taken seriously at work—and catch the eye of her office crush—she signs up for the New York City Marathon as part of her architectural firm’s outreach program. Now she just needs to avoid making a fool of herself. Thankfully, she knows how to outsource.
Personal trainer Luke Townsend is definitely a runner, and he’s exactly what Lydia needs to get in shape: experienced, motivational, funny, kind, well muscled… And when he and Lydia bond over her redesign of the Manhattan Youth Center, a place near and dear to Luke’s heart, their training time intensifies from hitting the pavement to hitting the sheets. Still counts as a workout, right?
Suddenly, everything Lydia thought she wanted feels less clear, but she’s determined not to let a little unplanned indiscretion derail her goals. There’s no reason she and Luke can’t keep training as if they don’t share mind-blowing chemistry. They’re professionals. But when her project proposal suddenly hangs in the balance, and her office crush offers some awfully tempting one-on-one help, she’ll have to decide which direction her heart wants to run.

Reviewer 1087751
I was intrigued by the premise of MEET ME IN A MILE, and I ended up loving it much more than I thought I was going to! And it was even more emotional than I was expecting which I prefer in a romance. I admired how not only it was a great love story, but also how it revolved so much on Luke and Lydia's paths and their beliefs in themselves, each other, and each other's dreams.
Luke is training Lydia to run her first marathon in order to impress her office crush, but with the time they spend together training, Luke is torn between keeping things professional as they promised to or confessing his feelings, though which runs the risk of Lydia finding another trainer and ruining their friendship. Luke and Lydia and how their relationship unfolds felt real and genuine, and I adored their chemistry and banter. I also really liked how the running/marathon training metaphors also pertained to life and proving we are capable and worthy of accomplishing great things. I admired how much support Lydia has in her life, whether it's Luke, her sister, her friends, or co-workers cheering her on.
It was an absolute delight to read, and I look forward to reading whatever the author writes next!
Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.
