She's a self-made fitness sensation. He's a billionaire mogul. They're sworn enemies and rivals... aren't they?

Blake Avery knows all about hard work. She’s gone from making videos in her teenage bedroom to founding a booming fitness business and opening a state-of-the-art Manhattan gym. Now she’s on the cusp of realizing her wildest dreams, and she’s not going to let anyone stand in her way.

Certainly not man-of-the-hour Gabriel Mercer. He might be one of the biggest names in the fitness world and set women’s pulses soaring more than a grueling HIIT workout, but he grew up in a billionaire dynasty and had everything handed to him – or so Blake thinks.

But when Blake publicly criticizes Gabriel, she sparks a feud that neither entrepreneur is willing to back down from. And in an industry that seems determined to keep pushing them together, can Blake hold on to her grudge? Or will she finally warm up to Gabriel's charm?

I'm a massive Camilla Isley fan, and it has been far too long since she last released a new book, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on Not In A Billion Years. 

And was totally worth the wait, completely up to her normal standards, and utterly entertaining. 

The dynamics and banter between Blake And Gabriel are wonderful.  They are both alphas, top of their fields, and yet their meet cute was hilarious.  

And from then on, it seemed as those Blake was constantly determined to on up Gabriel at every opportunity, with all manner of fabulous results - Gabriel's first gym class as Blake's gym comes to mind instantly. 

I loved their dynamic from the first few pages and just had to wonder when the inevitable would happen. It was such a joy when it did and I loved the journey to get there, as well as from that point. 

It's full of humour, some wonderful family members and personal assistants, and so much more besides.  It's a joy to read and I just hope I won't have to wait as long before the next new book from this author. 

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
