I really enjoyed Healing her Heart, it is my first read from Audra North, but I will definitely be looking her up again, when I am in the mood for something quick, sexy and a little different.The beauty of life was in its complexity, and death and desire were both a part of it.It is not often that you read a love story that is in the main conducted in an Assisted Living Facility and I liked this little twist in the story, it gives you the added bonus of senior characters that are just that characters! Greg Stanton being an ER doctor on the verge of burning out, and Carrie Jankowski as the manager of New Beginnings Assisted Living Facility tend to only run into each other at the gravest of times. Greg for the most part is the Doctor with the responsibility of telling Carrie that another senior in her care has passed on. Their attraction for each other is strong, but the circumstances in which they generally meet up aren’t really conducive to taking things to the next level.The woman he met far too frequently in the worst possible circumstances.Greg and Carrie are both strong independent characters and I liked that, both are battling a few demons, but not in an overly angsty way. Carrie helping Greg at his lowest point is what prompts him to seek her out and take the next step, after deciding to take some time away from the hospital he makes her the offer of a week of no-strings casual fun, that they both think they been looking for...Sex. Lust. Desire. No strings attached.If you are stuck for what to read next, and are looking for an enjoyable filler while you make up your mind then Healing her Heart is a perfect novella to do that. I was pleased to see that Audra has written 2 other novellas in this series as well, which I will definitely add to the e-reader for just such an occasion.ARC provided via Netgalley, in exchange for the above honest review.
