    The story is good, however, there were some parts that seemed to drag. Overall, a three star.

    This story is a one two punch. Nate is the best friend of a big brother .....but he is also the one who had to make tough choices. The narrator makes this story very peaceful even when it is breaking your heart a bit.
  • Sweet and sexy small town romance

    By Ladydi232
    Healed By Love is a friends to lovers, sort of second chance story. It combines sweet small town romance and sexy heat with lots of chemistry between the main characters. Nate Braden has always loved Jewel, his best friend Rick’s kid sister. Nate returns from his tour overseas as a hero, but Rick didn’t make it home and Nate harbors so much guilt. He tries to keep his distance while still watching out for Jewel as a promise to Rick. Jewel has been on her own and doesn’t know if she wants the complications that Nate represents especially when she is so confused by Nate’s running hot and cold. I listened to this story on audiobook and loved the narration. B.J. Harrison really helped bring the book to life! -4.5 Stars!-

  • Wonderful Book!

    By AmethystLove1993
    This is a wonderful book, but I cried bucketfuls. I think I did some healing right along with Nate and Jewel though. It is a very emotional book, but Melissa Foster did a great job with a very difficult topic. It is also a great title for this book. To me, it says it all. Nate and Jewel are both healed by their love. Then, there is B.J. Harrison, who narrated this book. He, as always, did an outstanding job. The Melissa Foster/ B.J. Harrison combination is the best!

    Two people think they can carry the weight of world on their shoulders. Jewel struggles to do and be everything for her family, even though her mother's gotten the hang of things since the deaths of Jewel's father and eldest brother. And poor Nate, who's been in love with Jewel since the two were children, assumes guilt for her brother's death during Military combat. It takes these beautiful, strong-willed lovers some time to realize that strength doesn't equal complete independence, but once they let love in, the path to healing is illuminated for each of them respectively. Loved it more in Audio and am loving the narrator more and more
  • Meh...it was okay

    By KChick302
    The plot was okay, nothing very dramatic happened. The scenes were steamy but ruined but using words like scoundrel in the dialogue. The setting is super unrealistic. It seems as if the author has no clue about Maryland or water towns.

    Nate is home from the military, and feeling guilty. He's in love with his best friend's little sister. And, he feels responsible for his best friend's death. For Jewel, losing her dad and her brother changed her outlook and her future. She feels responsible for her mom and her younger siblings. Nate and Jewel love each other, but they need to get past their feelings of responsibility and get to the business of each other. The story is somewhat predictable, but it was still very enjoyable.
