Review: Healing Her Heart – Audra North

Informing the next of kin of a patient’s death is hardly cardiac surgeon Greg Stanton’s favorite activity. Tired of spreading bad news, he decides to take a week off and enjoy a few extra curricular activities—one in particular that hopefully involves a certain blonde director.

Carrie’s experience as the Director of New Beginnings, an Assisted Living Residence, has taught her that the wisdom of the elderly is often more healing than any drug. So when Greg drops by her office to tell her one of her residents passed away and mentions he’s taking some time off, Carrie suggests that he spend the time volunteering at her facility.

Greg is in need of a way to de-stress. After being burned by her ex-fiance, Carrie needs a little fun. What’s a little sex between friends? But when their casual arrangement is complicated by real feelings, one of them will have to step up to save what could be something special before they both tear it apart.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

HEALING HER HEART is a quick read focusing on the relationship between a doctor and an extended care facility director.  Greg, the doctor, and Carrie, the director, have known each other for the past year from the many times she’s brought her residents into the ER.  But after one too many deaths, a panic attack leads Greg to a one week vacation and an interesting proposal for Carrie.

I liked both the character and they did have chemistry together.  I just had a hard time believing that they would fall for each other that quickly, especially considering Carrie’s relationship hang up.  I could believe the hot sex and wanting to continue, I just couldn’t believe the profession of love.

That said, for a 113 novella, the author can only put so much into the story to move it along.  She did provide some great secondary characters with the residents at the home who loved to harass Greg.  They definitely made me want to keep moving along with the story.
