Lily runs the beauty salon and day spa in Crystal Cove, Maine. She arrived here a couple of years ago, a very private person, and only gradually has made friends with the other women in the book club. They still don't know much about her background, and that's the way she likes it. However, Ty has been watching her from the beginning. A long time resident except for a stint in the Army, he's also private and a bit shy. But when a lacy black thong jams up Lily's clothes dryer, Ty comes to the rescue.
This is a story about two people who both have secrets in their background. They must learn to trust one another; it's harder for Lily than Ty but she has her reasons. The importance of being honest with each other for two people who have vowed to never fall in love again is at the crux of this story.
Other reviewers have mentioned what a great job the author did with Ty's depression, and I have to agree. I found his handling of it very realistic, and Lily's acceptance of it as a medical condition was awesome. In addition, Lily's view of the importance of material things was a nice aspect to the story. I liked her practicality and common sense.
This is a nice but sexy romance. It's about friendship and family but doesn't leave out the hot scenes between Ty and Lily. It's the third book in the Well-Paired series; certainly this couple is well-paired. ( )
