Another first class read from Kirsten McCurran.
Book 1 introduces us to Cori, Dylan, Mayde and Baines. Cori and Dylan have been together for 24 yrs. Cori has just gotten her massage therapist license and travels from location to location providing massages.
Best friend Baines has been ribbing Dylan about Cori providing “happy endings”. Dylan and Cori refute that until coworker Mayde and other work colleagues confirm to Cori that it’s all true for “special” clients.
Cori was a wild one before marriage and thinks the idea has a certain appeal, especially as Cori has borrowed to pay for massage therapy school and would like some fun money for kids tuition and holidays.
This book is 140 beautifully written pages setting the scene for Cori, with Dylan’s agreement, to add a little zing to her massages. If you appreciate good character development, and a solid foundation for a couple to work through this together, you’re not going to find a better setup for the characters to move forward. And if you think you’ll be bored because there isn’t enough action, you’d be wrong. Cori ensures there’s never a dull moment.
I’ve pre-ordered Book 2 due on May 17. Looking forward to reading it.
And if you don’t believe me about Book 1, read Johnny’s excellent review.
