Long friendship wends its way into something deeper when their hearts get involved. Feelings neither of them had expected to experience again enrich their days and nights. But what happens when the long summer ends? When Carol wants a family and commitment and a future, Steven isn't so sure. He's had his heart broken before—can he risk it again?

This Book Touched My Heart

Liz Flaherty has scored again! I was fortunate enough to preview this novel. The romance in The Healing Summer starts as a simple summer friendship, but Carol and Steven's attraction is so clear, I couldn't imagine they wouldn't be together forever. Steven is my favorite kind of hero--gentle, kind, and intelligent, while I'd love to be Carol when I grow up. She's smart and independent and knows what it means to care about other people. The secondary characters in this story give it that special warmth that is uniquely Ms. Flaherty's voice. You'll be rooting for Carol and Steven from the moment he rides his bike into her car.

The Healing Summer by Liz Flaherty is a book about grieving, getting through tough times, and being true to oneself.

Steven Elliot
Steven Elliot is the main male character of the book and the one that we start following. He is an amazing character that has suffered from losing his wife to breast cancer, and then to learn some devastating news about one of his younger sisters. Steven has decided that maybe he'll come home for some vacation and perhaps actually stay home. He is a good guy once he finally matured and figured out that not every woman has to be a centerfold.

Carolina "Carol" Whitney
Carolina is a hairdresser and is helping out Grace with a little problem even if it will end hard for her. She is a fantastic person that does a lot of things for others but not really for herself. Carol is a great cook and tries to help all the kids that she can with studying or anything. She is a pretty selfless person that does a lot and is finally receiving things that she needs even if she didn't know what she needed. Carol's story is even sadder than Steven's, and I'm glad that she has a better ending than her beginning.

Four Stars
The Healing Summer by Liz Flaherty is an entirely different book from what I usually read by Ms. Flaherty. Despite that, I did find myself enjoying this book and loving the message it is sending. It is a fabulous book, and one that I think has a great message, especially for girls that are overweight. That it doesn't matter what size you are but with the person that you share the love you give.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the author. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Healing Summer by Liz Flaherty.

Anyways, until next time,
Karen the Baroness

A romance and a page-turner

2 November 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

If you enjoy a good romance, with twists that make you think and drama that stays with you, I suggest The Healing Summer. Steven and Carol “meet cute” by colliding at a cemetery, the first hint that this is bit of a non traditional love story. Each is visiting a different grave to mend deep heartache and loss. Yet they’re upbeat when they reconnect after having gone to high school together but not seeing one another in a few years. Although genuine, attractive people, their looks aren’t movie-star perfect, which helps makes them relatable. Steven’s beloved wife Promise passed away three years ago, and what’s unusual is that Carol knew and loved Promise too, which adds depth as their relationship evolves.

Author Liz Flaherty is a master at drawing readers into her worlds, and I quickly became wrapped up in the lives of these characters in Peacock, Tennessee, like sliding into a favorite pair of slippers. She’s created a extensive cast of characters in this small town and they interact with one another somewhat reminiscent of Friends, the TV show.

I won’t reveal any spoilers but there may be babies, lonely teens and girls getaway trips involved in the mix. Everything comes together in surprising ways, which kept me turning the pages, and hurrying back to Peacock when life tore me away for awhile. After finishing the book, I had that sinking feeling that my time with them was over. But I was pretty happy that I can visit Peacock again in One More Summer, the earlier book set there.

Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of The Healing Summer.

#VERYEMOTIONALLYCHARGED

7 November 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Liz Flaherty is a new to me author, and The Healing Summer was the perfect book to learn about her writing chops. Now, this story is very emotionally charged, so I ran the gamut of emotions, which had me exhausted when all was said & done. It all starts when Carol, the heroine, hits Steven's, the hero's bike. It starts them both on a new journey of healing that both need to be honest. See, Steven is a successful heart surgeon, but still suffering from grief of losing his wife. Carol is a woman who always puts other's needs over herself, and I don't mean in a particularly bad way, just she did need to think of herself once in a while. However, it's that big heart of hers which made her beautiful inside & out, and thankfully, fate has decided it's her turn for a future. But, it's not an easy path, as it's not always easy to move out of the friend zone, and again, Steven lost his wife, so Ms. Flaherty really wrote this story with a very realistic feel. Of course, I don't want to be remiss is the humorous interactions which made me laugh a lot, giving me a break from all the heavy, as the cast of secondaries were top notch. So, does Steven finally heal, and Carol get her happily ever after with him?! You'll have to one click to find out, as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
