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, Emily 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.

Each book in the Stanton Family series is a standalone, full-length novella that can be enjoyed out of order.

Love Heals

Greg Stanton is a workaholic. His life has taken a backseat to his medical career. That is until he meets Carrie Jankowski. She is a strong, compassionate and very sexy woman who haunts his dreams. She is there to comfort him when he needs support during a panic attack. He wants and needs her and she feels the same way. Can they get this attraction out of their system in a week? Or does their love have the power to last? Audra North has written a very powerful, touching story that portrays the healing power of love. Both Greg and Carrie have known pain and hurt. They are determined to protect themselves from love and commitment. These characters tug at your heart. I loved the senior citizens at New Beginnings. They added depth to the story with their humor and intelligence. This was a very sweet (yet sexy) story. Healing Her Heart was filled with love, forgiveness and healing. Audra North delivered a very engaging story.

Fantastic

This is a fantastic novella showing how important it is to live everyday to the fullest. Great characters all around but the main two are Greg, burned out cardiac surgeon and Carrie, ever hopeful head of the local assisted living facility. This story reminds us that every relationship has moments of give and take and how important it is to experience those. Highly recommend this one!

This is third book in the Stanton family series. You can read them all as stand-alone or in order. The story was well written and lightly touched subject matter which occurs in everyday life. If you are chasing a quick read, you will love Audra North's books.

Quiet. An easy read. A nice quick romance. Not my usual read and I hate to only give three stars but I would have loved a little more excitement. I haven't given up on North yet!

Healing her heart was cute but I like the others better. It's is a good read. I just couldn't get into it like the others. I am excited about the fourth book.

eh, it's alright, not my favorite in the series

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2017

SERIES: Stanton Family #3
ROMANCE: Fling

QUICK REVIEW
This was probably my least favorite of the series only because I never really liked Carrie and her attitude toward their arrangement. Overall, the story wasn't bad and Greg was a pretty decent character.

--------------------------------

CHARACTERS
Greg Stanton: Working as a heart surgeon has Greg stressed and anxious, especially over the idea of losing a patient. He really needs a break from his work, something he hasn't had in a long time. Helping Carrie at her assisted living facility and spending nights with her is just what he needs to shake his anxiety.

Carrie Jankowski: Ever since Carrie found out her ex-fiance was just using her to impress his family, she's had a hard time with trust. She's been attracted to Greg for a long time but she doesn't want to feel like she's being used again.

WHAT I LIKED
-- The overall plot but wasn't too bad and I liked the idea of a doctor being confronted with anxiety over losing patients. It really humanizes the medical profession which I feel like is often glamorized in romance novels and shows that feature sexy doctors.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE
-- Carrie just didn't work for me. I understand how hurt she was by her ex-fiance, but she really takes it out on Greg. They both agree to the no-strings affair but Carrie spends the entire time acting like Greg is using her and that theirs absolutely no emotion involved in what they're doing. Also she's unhappy because Greg finds peace when he's with her. To me, this is a huge part of loving someone, they act as a rock in the sea of crazy that the world is.

Not As Good As The Other Books in the Stanton Family

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2016

Greg Stanton is an overworked cardiac surgeon. When he has to tell Carrie, the director of a local assisted living facility, that the resident she just brought into the ER didn't make it, Greg decides to take a week-long vacation. Greg then finds himself volunteering at the assisted living facility at Carrie's suggestion. There's always been an attraction between the two, so when Greg offers up a week of no-strings-attached, Carrie's deliberation time is short before deciding to go ahead and take him up on his offer. At the end of the week, will this arrangement have ruined the friendship that Greg and Carrie have built?

I didn't find Healing Her Heart to be as interesting as the other 3 books in the series (yes, I accidentally read book 4 before book 3 - oops. Fortunately, it wasn't a problem reading the books out of order). The pairing up of Greg and Carrie seemed unnaturally rushed - even for a novella length story. Only seeing each other in the ER while Greg is trying to save one of Carrie's residents doesn't really constitute relationship-building - at least not to the point that they can be where they are at by the end of their week-long arrangement.

I did enjoy the competitive nature of Greg and a couple of the residents when it came to chess. I enjoy socializing with older ones in our society and their inclusion in this story made me happy. I also liked the activity that Carrie developed to make the new residents feel more comfortable at the facility. Even though I never really connected with either character, I found that I enjoyed Greg and Carrie more when the scenes didn't revolve around sex.
