출판사 설명
From the outside, Stella Martin’s life seems perfect. A thriving yoga studio, wonderful girlfriends, and enough Mr. Right Now’s to keep her entertained should be plenty to keep her busy and happy. But her perpetual single status stirs up a nagging discontent. Too many strikeouts in a row leave her wondering if there really is a Mr. Right for her. He certainly can’t be Bastian Pierce, the workaholic tech genius who can’t relax, no matter how attractive he is. She’s been runner-up to a demanding job before. Never again.
Bastian Pierce is a busy man. CEO of a tech unicorn that’s just gone public and “Billionaire Bachelor” to millions of viewers, Bas doesn’t have time to sleep, let alone stretch and meditate. But when his assistant badgers him into a private yoga session with a goddess, he is hooked. Maybe he should take more time for himself, especially if that time involves Stella and a tropical yoga retreat. But when complications chase them around the globe, their idyllic vacation and budding relationship are threatened.
From high-pressure Silicon Valley to blissful Bali, Stella and Bas will push each other to bend and reach for what matters most.

A joy to read
Three Strikes is the third book in Ms. Moore's Girls' Night Out series but there is no need to have read the previous books in order to enjoy this one.
Stella is a yoga instructor hired to help destress billionaire tech genius Bastian. Bastian is a workaholic, afraid of letting the company - which has just gone public - down. Enter Stella and her yoga techniques to get him to relax. A yoga retreat to Bali with Stella as his private instructor is just the key - any maybe he can find more than relaxation while there. But, when complications arise that threaten to destroy their budding relationship, they have to decide what's most important.
Ms. Moore takes the reader on an emotional journey as we follow the relationship of Stella and Bas. While there is an instant attraction between Stella and Bas, it doesn't translate into an instant easy relationship. Instead, the characters have to work through and overcome their preconceptions about themselves and each other. Every time it seems like this time, they have finally overcome that final hurdle, a new one appears, but this doesn't feel forced.
The trip to Bali was wonderful and Ms. Moore has clearly visited it as she brought it to life. I love the use of yoga as a means of coping with stress. The reminder that we do need to step back from our jobs and be there for our friends and family and loved ones is important, and not the only message that Ms. Moore gets across in this lovely romance. Perhaps my favorite part about this novel is that while Bas and Stella are opposites when it comes to how they work, they compromise and accommodate without changing who they fundamentally are.
This was a true joy to read and I'm now going back to read the previous books in this series
