The Spa Break
by Hannah Doyle
I read The Pick Up by Hannah Doyle and thoroughly enjoyed it, so naturally, when the opportunity to read her next book presented itself I put my current read on the back burner to quickly binge this one.
The Spa Break is about Jess, a journalist who is unhappy with her job, unhappy with her love life and pretty much everything apart from her two best friends. So when the three decide to take a trip to an exclusive about to open luxury spa, Jess is understandably excited. That excitement only grows when the first other person she meets at the Spa is an irresistibly handsome man that she can’t stop looking at. If it were only simple…
Sadly, the Spa Break fell a little flat for me overall. The story takes place over the span of just seven days, and since the characters (more or less) meet for the first time, their connection is somewhat unbelievable. Some of the scenes didn’t feel fully fleshed out and it feels like at the start we learn a little bit about the MMC, but then he is kind of just there and we find out nothing more about him as a person. As a result, connecting with the two of them as a couple was difficult for me.
I still think the book is worth a read, especially for anyone who wants a closed door romance without any explicit scenes. It’s fun and quick and feel good. I’m excited to see what Hannah Doyle writes next.
Thank you so much to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book.
