Healing Her Heart by Audra North is an engaging novella that I was able to read in just a couple of hours. The characters are likeable and the plot is complete with emotion, friendship and heat. Ms. North is an excellent storyteller and I will continue to seek out her new works.  In addition, this book has a wonderful and charming ending.Carrie Jankowski loves her job as the Director of New Beginnings, an assisted living facility for the elderly. She enjoys spending time with the residents and does everything in her power to create a warm and inviting environment for those entrusted in her care. Handling the death of a resident is always sad, yet Carrie realizes it is a part of her job and life. Carrie is a giver and always puts the needs of others ahead of her own.Greg Stanton is a cardiac surgeon and his job has recently become even more stressful than he can deal with. After suffering another anxiety attack, he realizes that he needs a break to regroup. It was just a stroke of luck that Carrie was around to help him come down from this latest attack.  Greg and Carrie met about a year ago when one of Carrie's residents was brought into the ER. Since that time, they have developed a friendship that has now become a little more flirty. As they both are not looking for anything serious, they embark on a temporary, sexual relationship while Greg is on vacation.  In addition, Greg agrees to help out at New Beginnings, since he has some free time to spare.I enjoyed this novella. To begin with, Carrie and Greg are good together. Spending their days working together and their nights sleeping together may be a winning combination. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts, while they tread very lightly where their emotions are concerned. If you are looking for a nicely written novella, check out Healing Her Heart.A copy of the book was gifted by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
