Healing Creek A Love Story Kindle Edition

Were they opposites? Or soul mates?
Finding she had a perpetually unfaithful husband had been hard to cope with as a newly wed and newly certified marriage counselor. Still, that wasn’t as hard as finding her husband had a newborn daughter with a teenager—effectively ending both her marriage, and the career Monet McLaughlin had spent seven years building. That’ll leave a mark.
It’s why she absolutely knows not to trust the hunky male model who shows up two years later at her therapy horse stable to do a photo shoot for romance novel covers. Certainly no one who looks like that, and makes a living being that intimate with that many women, has a shred of moral integrity—do they?
They both know they are far too opposite for even a casual relationship, so then what the heck is going on here?
Cynics can heal—if they’re brave enough.

Praise for Jaclyn M. Hawkes’ books
I have loved every book Jaclyn M. Hawkes has written. I know I will always read a stirring story, great characters, and a sigh worthy romance. Sheila Staley

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Solid Romance
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2013

This is a no-holds-barred romance. It has a Christian underpinning; however that is not a detraction. Although it is not what I look for, the morals are congruent. I liken it to a well-designed home, as long as the architecture and individual components are of the same style and quality, it is deeply appealing. This is a grown-up book about youthful love and romance with charming, intelligent, strong female characters whose behavior reflects the integrity of their beliefs. This alone is something to aspire to; it draws the reader in and keeps you spellbound until the book is finished. So make the kids' dinner, and gather yourself some snacks before you pick this up; you will not want to be disturbed...

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique storyline, well done
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2015

This story certainly has a unique storyline. Nick is hunky and drives a flashy red Lamborghini. He's a model for steamy romance novel covers. Monet is graceful and poised. She's a trained psychologist and equestrian instructor. I couldn't imagine how the author was going to make this work out. The answer is... perfectly. Both have much to learn and grow. There is a gentle Christian thread, strong family dynamic, humor, angst, danger, and sweet, satisfying love. This clean romance is well edited, expressively written, and leaves you with a satisfied smile. I enjoyed it.

I loved reading Nick and Monet's story. I love a good romance where story draws you right in at the very beginning and keeps you there until the very end? I like a story that's well developed as well as the characters. I like stories with twists and turns that really keeps you interested and having to keep turning the pages to see what will happen next. Do add a dab of humor too. To me, this book had it all. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Story
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2014

Like her other books, this is a fun story to read. The ending was a little abrupt. The too often repeated mis-use of the word "frission," which is a misspelling of the French word 'frisson,' was very annoying. This author has good ideas, and writes interesting dialogue, and clean romances. However, all of her books that I have read need a little more editing for spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It!!!
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2014

I loved everything about this book. I loved the storyline, Nick and Monet, the horses, the wonderful family life and all the relationships in the book. I love how Jaclyn develops the relationships of the main characters. All of her books are literally to good to put down. No two books of hers are alike. What a gift she has for inspiring faith. love of God and a wonderful faithful love between a handsome man and a beautiful woman. I would love to live in ANY of her books. Who needs a vacation away from home....all I need is just one of her books and that is good enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read This Book
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2013

Although the cover and the title do little to draw you in, the book itself is a great read ... and it kept this mom of two babies up until 1 AM until it was finished.

Healing Creek will make you laugh, cry, and love. Faithfulness in marriage seems so rare these days, so a book that gives the "secret" to a lasting, loving relationship (one filled with lots of sparks and sizzles) is refreshing.

Dont think this book is preachy or boring, though. Far from it. There is raw, honest emotion and lots of fun and romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved every cleverly phrased word.
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2014
Verified Purchase
I'm a life-long horse lover. I make no apologies for that. I read every horse book that comes along. So when I saw the description of a Christian romance that involved a heroine who ran a facility that used horses to help kids--that was right up my alley. The beautiful cover artband description drew me in; the writing kept me there. Once, when I checked my progress in the Kindle book, I was actually disappointed that I was nearly through. Ms. Hawkes creates great characters with desires, needs and warts, and she made me want to help these people succeed in this oddly matched but meant-to-be relationship between a damaged psychologist and a hunky model who wants something different from life. As an added plus for us horse lovers, she really knows horses and their behaviors, and the emotions they evoke. I could not stop reading this book, and you won't be able to, either. Sit back with a cup of hot chocolate, read and enjoy.

It was a lovely story a woman getting over her failed marriage and job as a counselor. After an 18yr old comes to her door with a baby belonging to her husband thats her fin straw. 2 yrs on she is running riding lessons at her parents stables. when along comes Nick a model for x-rated books. They fall for eachother as he keeps coming back for lessons. That is basically the story after the the rest of the book is about Nick trying to break down her barrier its just so long winded a bit disappointed at the end
