Fall in love with Nate Braden & Jewel Fisher in Healed by
Love.
Nate Braden has loved his best friend’s younger sister Jewel for
as long as he can remember, but between their age difference and his respect
for Rick, he’s always kept his feelings at bay. Now he’s back in Peaceful
Harbor, and Jewel is no longer sixteen years old—but there’s an even bigger
obstacle standing in his way. Nate and Rick joined the military together eight
years earlier. Nate came home a hero, but Rick didn’t make it out alive.
Review by Marlene Engel
For as long as he can remember, Nate
has been secretly pining after Jewel.
But being the little sister of his best friend, Rick, he always felt like
she was off-limits. When they were
overseas serving in the war, there were many times when Nate wanted to ask Rick’s
blessing to date his sister, but it never seemed like the right time. Then, when Rick was gunned down by a sniper,
Rick’s dying words were for Nate to watch after his family. But, before he could profess his love for
Jewel, Rick took his final breath.
Now, back home and out of the
military, Nate is more conflicted than ever.
He’s determined to keep his promise to Rick, but his feelings for Jewel
are still strong. He also has a secret
that’s been haunting him for years now.
A secret that could keep him and Jewel from ever being more than
friends. A secret that may have her
considering if she even wants that from him.
This book was so emotionally charged. From coping with death, guilt and an internal
battle of right versus wrong where love is concerned, this book takes you on an
emotional roller coaster. I found myself
rooting for Nate in his quest to tell Jewel how he feels. And, at the same time, crying at both the
physical and emotional pain that not only he, but Rick’s family faced
throughout the years. Powerful and
riveting, yet consumed with love so strong that it’s palpable, Healed by Love
is a story that could only be told by the likes of Melissa Foster.
