Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're joining Rachel's Random Resources for a stop along their current tour for the second title in the Friendships Online series. It just celebrated its BOOK BIRTHDAY earlier this month (*throw confetti*) and is all ready for your afternoon reading escape. If you read the first release, then you're primed and ready to go as the party just ended and the next steps in Constance's journey are about to begin. Ready or not, here comes today's blog tour guest and ebook of choice...
The Weekend Spa Break
Friendship Online series, Book 2
by
Anne John-Ligali
About the book...
After finally meeting in person at the publishing party of the season, Constance and Estelle are determined not to let their friendship return to mere virtual champagne bottles and uploaded pictures of food.
It’s been a busy year, and Constance feels it’s time to reward herself with the spa break Estelle gave her for Christmas. Naturally, Constance wouldn’t dream of taking anyone other than Estelle, and this will provide the perfect opportunity to bond with her new chum.
As the excited pair spend some quality time together, they realise it’s not just writing books they have in common, but something that goes much deeper. After a few Jacuzzi sessions, facials, pedicures, and a massage by sexy Senior Therapist, Julio, everything seems to be peachy until an unexpected visitor turns Constance’s weekend of bliss … on its head.
A two-day spa break.
Sparkling water on tap.
And the perfect massage.
But who’s rubbing who up the wrong way?

For the life of me, I don't remember the first installment of this series being quite as long, covering nearly as much time, or having a HUGE TWIST to the story line pop up at the end...but maybe it's just me? *double checks first review...nope, not just me*
Here, we have the continued story of Constance...romance writer, adoring mother, jilted fiance...beginning at the end, or at least where the end of the first story left off. (Love the lack of time gap!) She's met some of her online acquaintances, and while some she'd rather not hang about, there are others that fast turn into friends. Some add humor, some bring style, some have attitude to spare, whether or not any of these things are actually valid matters not because they are delivered with confidence and that makes anything lacking in luster THAT much more appealing. Anywho...one new friend would be Estelle, and she's about to learn that they share more than simply genres as these two gals take a much needed break from life and head to Glitzy Spa. A weekend of relaxation, pampering, oversharing, and perhaps a little flirtation is just what the doctor ordered...but wait, who requested the room service serving of psycho? Yeah...about that....
I was all in for the weekend trip, and getting to know Constance and Estelle better, but I was a tad confused (as was Constance for that matter) by the sudden appearance of someone...rather unexpected...and with ties to someone else that were clearly unknown. Let's just say things get more than a bit tense and the lacksadaisy housekeeping of one of these gals is gonna prove to be a lifesaver. I suppose I was basing my initial impressions of it off the first in the series, thinking I was in for another light and quick read brimming with social media savviness and authorly fun...but in the end, the added pages and heavier story line served to set us up for another installment COMING FALL 2018! Needless to say, you've got plenty of time to get caught up in the series in the mean time should you so desire...or can plan on a mini-binge later in the year.
