Wow. Ms. Lyons packed quite a lot into this story. Ann Montgomery is an uptight, driven, career-minded lawyer on the fast track, working so intensely that her body is paying the price--muscle pain, headaches, jaw pain among other problems. Her one outlet is her three friends--together they are the Awesome Foursome, and they meet once a week over a meal to catch up and talk and encourage each other. One of them suggests that she try a local spa, known for their masseurs.
Adonis Stefanakis is one of those massage therapists. Both of them feel the spark of attraction at their first appointment and are discomfited. Ann uncharacteristically presses him to act on it, and he knows he cannot within the bounds of their working relationship. So, she fires him :)
From there, they go on to explore a relationship, Ann far more cautiously than Adonis. She's grown up with her fiercely independent and ultra successful mother pushing her to be and do her best; she's never felt able to relax or take time for anything other than such single-minded pursuit of her career goal.
I admit that I felt very hard pressed to relate to Ann, but Ms. Lyons does let us into her heart and thoughts fairly well, and it is a joy to see Ann's slow blossoming under Adonis's warm care. They both come to see how well suited they can be for each other, and it's a well-deserved happy ending to enjoy reading.
