Iris Denning lived a quiet life alone, with only a couple friends to occasionally go out with. Falling in love leads to heartbreak, and she wanted no more of that. At work, her boss urged her to go out more and when she put up a sign for the Eden Escape Spa, promising a weekend getaway to rejuvenate you, she told Iris she should give it a try. She even offered to pay for it as a thank you for Iris’ hard work. Not wanting anyone to know she was going, she booked her visit under the name of Peyton Winslow.
The Eden Escape Spa is a luxurious spa that pampers the clients and provides everything they could possibly want. Derrick and “Peyton” checked in and noticed each other right away, each smiling. Peyton went to her room and unpacked, then went down to the pool. She was still thinking about the attractive man she had seen in the lobby, imagining him giving her a massage, when a voice asked if the chair next to her was taken. She was embarrassed that she had just been thinking of him. He introduced himself as Derrick Craigsmore, a lawyer from L.A. They agreed to go hiking with a picnic lunch, and Peyton returned to her room to shower and sober up from all the mimosas! This was a fantasy weekend, and she intended to let whatever happened happen, regardless of her having sworn off men.
Not able to sleep, Peyton went out to the hot tub to gaze at the stars. To her surprise, Derrick joined her, saying he couldn’t sleep. Drawn to each other, they kissed and realized how much they wanted each other. They spent Saturday together and she spent the night with him. She had to tell him her real name. She wanted him to know. She showered and fantasized about going back to L.A. with him, getting married, and being deliriously happy. Then she went down to breakfast and waited for him. She finally went up to his room and a maid said he had checked out. The front desk confirmed that he had an emergency and checked out, and said he left no message for her. She thought he had cared, maybe even loved her? She packed and left, feeling her heart break in two. Men really were jerks, and she was an idiot to have forgotten that.
Iris returned home and cried and Sheri, her boss, listened to her story. They tried to find Derrick through the internet with no luck. With her giving a false name, there was no way he could find her. And with him having done the same thing, she was now seeing he could not be found either. Some things weren’t meant to be . . . or were they?
This was a great story that packed so much emotion into it. The author did a great job of building up their perfect relationship, with the reader feeling every feeling along with the characters. Is her perfect weekend nothing but a memory now? Grab your copy and a box of tissues and share their story.
This book is amazing and I loved it! Iris had her heart broken when Clarence, her boyfriend of three years just up and leaves. When she goes to his house searching for him, she finds out from his mother that he is on vacation with his fiancee Jenny, who happens to be her best friend. It turns out he told his mother that he and Iris broke up two years ago and that’s when he started seeing Jenny, unbeknownst to Iris. Now she has sworn off men for good. That is, until her boss Sheri, offers to send her to the Eden Escape Spa. Sheri wants Iris to have fun and enjoy herself and offers to pay for the weekend to get Iris to go. Iris ends up going and things are going great when shortly after she arrives, she meets Derrick, a lawyer from LA. The two end up spending most of their time together and she plans to tell him when they meet for breakfast that her name really isn’t Peyton Winslow, the name she used to register. He doesn’t show for breakfast and she goes to his room to find that he’s gone. Broken hearted again, she leaves the spa early. Back at work, she tells her boss about her weekend. The next day, Iris gets quite a shock when she stays late at work to accept the delivery of a water purification dispenser and the delivery guy turns out to be none other than Derrick, only his name is Don. He explains he did it to impress her and she yells at him to get out once he’s done with the set up. Telling her boss about it the next day, Sheri tells her it’s no different than what she did and she needs to go and make it right. When she shows up a Don’s work, she apologizes to him and he admits that he loves her. She agrees that she loves him too and soon they are off to their happily ever after filled with love, marriage, and children.

This quick read lured me right in from the very beginning with the wonderfully written storyline and well rounded characters! The chemistry between Derrick and Peyton kept me totally enthralled as each page was turned until the very end!
A quick fun insta love at the spa.
Spending time together the two share common interests and each have a secret.
The peacefulness and hiking with a picnic are descriptive and make you want to want your own spa weekend. I was able to relax while reading.
Another must read by author Avery North.

What a great story of two people on a weekend getaway, pretending they are someone else. Iris, decides she is going for weekend getaway but when she makes the reservation, she becomes Peyton. Don, ironically does the same thing and registers as Derrick. When these two meet at the spa, it is an instant attraction with amazing chemistry. How do you come clean now? Peyton fi ds out that Derrick is not coming to meet her because he checked out and left, no goodbye. It turns out he is closer to her than she thinks but is a second shot granted once the truths are told? A great short story of a spa.getaway that leads to a HEA. Love is usually where you least expect it. Enjoy!

I though it was very sweet. A bit cheesy, but cute. It could have been a little longer. All in all, a nice book.
Like minds take the same measures to protect themselves from heartbreak and to enjoy a spa weekend anonymously. Peyton/Iris and Derrick/Don each are looking for relaxation instead they find something more, but are either of them willing to open up and take that extra step of being honest and willing to love.

As Iris checks in, she notices that a man is looking at her, she looks back and thinks he is good looking. She gets her room and goes and puts her things up, changes into her swimsuit and heads down to the pool to get some sun and just relax. A man comes up and asks if the seat next to her is free. She tells him it is free and he tells her his name is Derrick Craigsmore and she tells him hers is Peyton Winslow. After they talk for a while, he asks if she is hungry and they make plans to have breakfast. During breakfast, Derrick asks if she had plans for the afternoon and she tells him no. He tells her that the Spa can make a picnic basket and asks if she would like to go on a hike? They spend the afternoon together and things get a little hot but Derrick doesn’t take it further than just kissing. When they get back to the Spa, they make plans for dinner.

She goes up to his room and finds out he has checked out, she goes to the front desk and asks about him and told he had an emergency and had to leave. There is no note for her and she doesn’t have his phone number so she can’t call him. Iris goes back home and tells Sheri all about her weekend and what happened with Derrick. Iris tries to look him up but finds nothing. Sheri asks Iris to work late due to her having a new water cooler being installed and she has other plans. Iris tells her that it is fine. She is dusting a shelf when someone comes in and she looks up and sees Derrick. He tells her that he is sorry and that his name is not Derrick Craigsmore instead it is Don Fletcher and that he works for Cyrstal Clear Water. She tells him to install the cooler and then leave.
Can Iris forgive Don for the same thing that she did to him and give him another chance?
Will Don get Iris to listen to him on why he told her what he did?

The description of this story is highly misleading. Although the book is insta-love, the male main character is hardly an alpha, he is in fact hugely basic as is the main female character. She is also, at 5’8″ and 110 lbs, not at all curvy. This is basically a romance where both characters try to avoid being themselves for a weekend and fall in love. It is a nice, short read with a happy ending.

Iris Denning had been unlucky in love and had sworn off of men. She had been dating this guy named Clarence who she met in her Senior year in high school and he was already in college. She had been going with him three years when he just up and left. She didn’t know what had happened so she went to visit Clarence’s home and talked to his mother and found out that he had gone to Europe with his fiance’ Jenny Watson, her so called best friend. He had been seeing Jenny for the past two years behind her back and she didn’t even know. She thought her friend was dating someone else named Conrad. Who does that to a human being. He would of at least broke up with her and her best friend would of told her that she was going out with her boyfriend. So that is how she finds out that her boyfriend is engaged to her best friend. So of course she swears off of men. That kind of deception could make you swear off people. She decides that working and going home and living her life without love was good enough for her. Of course she fantasized about having a family and a wonderful life but she would not let her heart go there. She had one night stands but she loved to go to work on Monday morning to her job with Sheri Masterson who was her boss. She owned the Lyndhurst a company that sold holistic products, health foods, anything considered to be zen. Sheri was married with children and she wanted her friend Iris to be happy again too. She put up this sign for Eden Spa and told Iris she would pay for her to go to the spa. Then there is Derrick Craigsmore who decided to spend a weekend at the spa too. He had gotten to the spa because his sister had given it to him as a gift for his birthday. So both Iris and Derrick end up at the spa. They meet and spend time together and both of them have a secret that they have kept from one another. Iris was going to confess her secret but she never got a chance because Derrick left before she got a chance. This turned out to be a pretty good love story. I would recommend it as reading. It was easy to read and was entertaining. It was a good read.
