Savage Wells Series a Satisfying, Swoony Delight
11:51 AM

Note: While Healing Hearts is more of a companion book than a sequel to its predecessor, The Sheriffs of Savage Wells, reading them out of order may result in spoilers. As always, I recommend reading books in a series in order.
In the small Western town of Savage Wells, Wyoming, men outnumber women at least 2:1. Unless he wants to marry a woman old enough to be his grandmother, Gideon MacNamara has to take extreme measures. As the only doctor for miles around, he's not just lonely but also exhausted from overwork. Desperate, he sends out a request for a mail-order bride who has nursing experience. He's not expecting a passionate romance from the union, but at least he can get some help with his bustling medical practice.

Just as their friendship is starting to develop into more, Miriam's past comes calling. The exposure of her secrets could mean the end of Miriam's new life and love. What will Gideon say when he hears the truth? Will there be anything left of their friendship or will both of them walk away with shattered hearts?
Healing Hearts by Sarah M. Eden stars one of the minor characters from its predecessor, The Sheriffs of Savage Wells. Gideon and Miriam are less colorful leads than Cade and Paisley, but they're no less likable. Both are sympathetic, selfless people who deserve a happy ending. Their romance is sweet and slow-building but swoony all the same. Although they're not as fiery as Cade and Paisley, there's still plenty of tension and playful banter flying between them to keep things interesting. Like its predecessor, Healing Hearts is clean, fun, upbeat, and entertaining. I found it just as enjoyable—maybe even a little more so—than The Sheriffs of Savage Wells. If you like light, funny historical romance, you can't go wrong with this series. It really is a satisfying, swoony delight.

Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for mild violence
To the FTC, with love: I received an ARC of Healing Hearts from the generous folks at Shadow Mountain in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
