REVIEW: Just a Touch by Linda Morris

Just a Touch by Linda Morris is a short story that packs a lot of punch into approximately 70 pages. The pace of this story is quite fast and the heroine of the book, application developer Marisa Finley, is easy to like and identify with. Marisa is a smart and sexy woman, who has gained a little weight due to spending every waking moment at her desk developing the next blockbuster video game. She and her work team have a deadline to meet, and she always completes a project successfully and on time. With that monumental task finally in the bag, she and her assistant fly from Denver to Sedona, for some relaxation at a luxurious spa.

Professional masseuse and part-time competitive mountain biker Gage Acton is extremely hot. Gage is the consummate professional, that is until Marisa ends up as his client. He is intrigued by her insecurities about her body, because he can see her beauty up close and personal. Their massage session ends abruptly, with both of them surprised by the heat between them. A storm later in the day brings them together again which evolves their chemistry into much more.

If you are in the mood for a quick read that is well-written and hot, then look no further than Just A Touch. Ms. Morris tells a realistic story with the perfect balance of plot and passion.

Long hours at her laptop developing a new video game hasn’t been kind to Marisa Finley’s waistline. Burned out, exhausted, and more than a little insecure about her body, she checks into a luxury spa resort in Sedona, Arizona, hoping to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle.

Once her best friend twists her arm to get her to disrobe for the incredibly hot massage therapist, Marisa finds herself relaxing under his healing hands. And maybe enjoying herself just a little too much.

An aspiring pro mountain biker who supports himself working at the spa, Gage Acton has always kept it strictly professional with his clients. But when things get unexpectedly steamy during Marisa’s massage, he’s left as confused and embarrassed as she is. And maybe just a little disappointed to watch her luscious backside in full retreat.

It should have ended there…until an unplanned encounter on a hiking trail gives them a second chance to start off on the right foot.
