The Healer's Gift
by Barbara Cutrera
Ainsland, a virgin widow fleeing from her husband's murderer, and Collum, a healer who possesses supernatural abilities, are brought together by circumstance. What begins as a marriage of convenience for the couple evolves into one of great love and passion. Yet, Collum's tragic past and the ever-looming threat of Ainsland's malevolent pursuer's appearance in their close-knit rural community overshadow their ability to be truly content. When evil strikes and all seems lost, will it be the resilient, headstrong Ainsland who is able to save herself, her husband, and the people she has come to know and cherish or will Collum, determined and wise, somehow manage to rescue the love of his life before time runs out?

talk, then people won’t wonder.”
“I think we
don’t trust our hearts as much as we should sometimes. Yours may be leading you to where you should
be. Whether it’s for good or bad, I can’t
say. It simply is.”
“How I love
you, Ainsland. You are the world to me,
a beautiful gift I want to keep near to me every day of my life.”

Review:
I don’t often
dabble in the genres of paranormal, or historical, or fantasy, but I decided I would
for Barbara Cutrera - as I love her interesting and sweet stories as well as
her thoughtful and gentle characters. The Healer’s Gift crosses all those genres
as well as a sweet romance and steamy sensuality. I enjoyed all the varied and unique characters
and had no problem keeping the large and extended family members straight. The plot was interesting and evolved quickly,
and the storyline was adventuresome, dramatic, emotive, and on occasion - breathtakingly
steamy. I am eager to reenter their
world and continue the adventure with the next book in the series Jordon’s Way.
