Book Review of
Healing Hearts
Healing Hearts by Sarah M. Eden is set in 1876, Wyoming Territory.
Gideon MacNamara is the only doctor in Savage Wells. a frontier town in the Wyoming Territory.
Living in the Wyoming Territory, he has limited prospects for a bride, so he decides to take advantage of a mail-order bride service. He sends away looking for a woman with nursing experience.
When Miriam steps off the stagecoach in Savage Wells, she is excited for her new job as a nurse. But what she didn’t realize is that Gideon’s message got messed up. He didn’t want a nurse; he wanted a wife with nursing experience. When she refuses to marry him, she finds herself stuck in Savage Wells with very unhappy people who were excited about the doctor having a wife.
But Gideon is embarrassed by the misunderstanding, and he offers her a job as his nurse. It is often awkward and humorous as they get to know each other.
Lynn's Review
I am not sure where I first heard about Healing Hearts by Sarah M. Eden, but after reading several fiction books with way too many graphic details, this book was just what I needed. It is considered a proper romance book, which is a category of books that I really enjoy. I like to read romance books, but I don’t want all the graphic details.
I have seen this book as similar to the Jeanette Oke-type books that were popular when I was a teenager. I can see why it is, because it is a clean, somewhat cheesy, predictable romance set in the West. Personally, I liked it better than I remembered Jeanette Oke’s books being.
Healing Hearts by Sarah M. Eden is not the type of book I would read all the time, but I enjoyed reading it for a mindless, easy read. I think it would be a good book for a teenager that like historical fiction but is looking for something without all the graphic details.
