After reading all the reviews I was hoping for a great read. It was an ok novella, but I just can't give it more than three stars

I had forgotten about the book and was reminded today that I should do a review.
It is a fast read. Charming and heart warming. My copy still needed another proof read but nothing major. I hope this means more stories will be written and will be just as cozy to read.

Healing Touch is a light, quick read at 23,000 words. It is a sweet romance dealing with the heroine’s inner conflict about her own lovability and her fear of being the subject of gossip and derision in a small town. The book moves along at a nice clip, without getting bogged down in backstory before pulling the reader into the current action. Told in the first person, the tale clearly presents the heroine’s point of view, but fails to do the same for the hero. I found myself not entirely convinced that the relationship would endure, as I wondered, just as the heroine did, exactly what she and the good doctor had in common. I was also a bit frustrated with the lack of final editing, which left a number of minor typos in the text and a bout or two of rapid summarizing, which should have been expanded into full scenes. Those particular flaws notwithstanding, however, the book’s ending still left me smiling and glad to have invested the time. (Also posted this review on my website with a link back here.)

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read for me as I couldn't put it down. I liked the way Jenna portrayed Tracy as a somewhat prickly person but just under the surface lurked a very vunerable woman just aching to be loved and cherished. The fact that the handsome Dr Nelson didn't give up trying to find that vunerable side and show her that she deserved to be loved and cherished made this romance all the sweeter.

I liked this story, a sweet romance with a sassy main character. Tracy Campbell uses her sharp tongue to hide her own insecurities. Luckily, the handsome doctor could see right through her and eventually won her heart.
But what I most enjoyed about this book was the author's discriptions of small town life. Nice writing style. I hope to see more from Jenna Anderson.

I loved this story! Jenna Anderson definitely has a gift for storytelling. Healing Touch is a romance without being syrupy and overly "romantic". The dialogue is perfection and makes the characters truly come to life. Tracy Campbell, the lead character, is funny and quirky with lots of those all-too-human qualities. Her love story is one that, in various versions, has likely been a top fantasy of most women at one time or other.

This is a sweet and funny story about the frustration, fear, and joy of falling in love - the second time around - with a child AND the entire population of Cherryville watching! If you live in a small town you will definitely relate to the setting. If not, just use this story as evidence that you made the right decision. Either way, Healing Touch will soften the edges of anyone's heart.
