Healing Her Heart (Stanton Family Book 3) Kindle Edition
Audra North (Author) Find all the books, read about the author, and more. See search results for this author |
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.

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.
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.
