Healing Hearts by Kim Watters was free on Kindle, so I decided to read it. I'm also a sucker for any story that has animals involved, especially when it comes to puppies or kittens. As a self-published book, I was impressed because Kim's writing has an endearing quality to it.Sarah Churchill can barely makes end meet. As a former foster child, she has major trust issues, and  feels unloved and unworthy. While riding her bike, she hits a stray puppy. She takes the puppy to the local vet even though she won't be able to pay for any of the bills. There she meets the very kind and handsome, doctor Grant Morrison who allows Sarah to pay off the bill by working for him. Grant isn't sure what to think of Sarah because she seems a bit ditzy and not at all comfortable around people. Plus, she doesn't have room in her life for a dog. But Grant is able to convince her to take in the stray, which she names Rocky, after her dream man, Rocky Balboa.Rocky is a handful and drives Sarah crazy, but Grant helps Sarah, to her surprise. Soon Grant and Sarah become good friends. Sarah is falling in love with Grant but she can't allow her feelings to get anymore involved than they are because of her criminal past. Grant has this idea that Sarah is wholesome and everything innocent and good, but his nosy aunt and sister thinks Sarah is using him. Grant doesn't care and  slowly courts her so she'll never think of leaving him even when the going gets really tough.Healing Hearts was a pleasant story and Sarah and Grant have great chemistry. This is more of a G-rated romance teens would enjoy as well. There's a lot of animal love here, including the adorable antics of Rocky that brings Sarah and Grant together. If you're a fan of the heroine who has had a rough life and finds love with the honorable and handsome hero, I would give this one a try.Katiebabs
