One Night in the Spa - Kathy Lyons Really Interesting Heroine! This book surprised me with its depth and uniqueness, then charmed me, and this let me down a bit because of the constriction of the novella on the love story. Lets talk about the surprises and uniqueness. The title makes it sound like this book is going to be a quick erotic read with romance in there. We have a friends to lovers story. We do get this but because of the nature of our heroine. She is a ex professional athlete who's sexual/physical life has been delayed because of training. Her backstory is just as interesting. Our hero is also great. He just flat out loves the heroine. The sweet comes when he helps her and heals her in a way. It is really moving. The too bad is this could have been great in that the hero is just as interesting as the heroine as he has a non traditional career inmassage and other spa services. However, the depth of his character isn't really explored and the happy ending long with the wrap up of important sub plots is whiplash fast.I like Lyons writing and look forward to more. I was given this book for my honest review. So, there you have it.
