Book Review: Healing Creek by Jaclyn M. Hawkes



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 Nick, 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.


My thoughts:

This is the second book of Jaclyn's I've read and although it took me a little while to get involved it ended up being a book worth my time. Monet and Nick are more than two attractive people who meet and fall in love and despite Nick's "hot" appearance and Monet's troubled past, their story isn't just an escapist-romance. Healing Creek is a multi-faceted read with depth, refreshing integrity and a colorful splash of unexpectedness.

New Book Review: The Most Important Catch


This is Jaclyn M. Hawkes 3rd novel and the 1st one of hers I've read. I was pleasantly suprised!

The main character, Kelly Campbell, is a nurse in her early twenties. Something illegal is going on in the hospital where she works and when she is caught looking at some files she inadvertently stumbled upon, she ends up staging her own death in order to stay alive. Leaving everything behind, she flees Chicago on the back of a borrowed motorcycle, dressed completely in leather, her bright auburn hair tucked securely under a helmet. 

From the back cover:

"When the weather turned cold, she turned south. She ended up in North Carolina, home to one of the most famed and eligible NFL football stars in the whole league; only Kelly didn't know that. She thought he was a businessman. Not being a huge fan all she knew was that he was incredibly attractive, kind, generous, and that she was safe with him. Or was she?

His brand of fame proved to be all but deadly; but his fame wasn't nearly as lethal as his attraction. He kept her safe and protected. All except her heart."

The Most Important Catch, was enjoyable, well-written, suspenseful, romantic, and a clean read. My kind of book!
