Natalie Pearson just walked in on her fiancé with another woman and rushed out of her home.  Finding solitude at a barren construction site, she thinks back to the many times that she has been betrayed by men and wonders why she is unworthy of happiness.  Seeing a man walking alone, and before she can talk herself out of doing what comes to her mind, Natalie is out of the car and walks towards him.  When his attention focuses on her she says the first thing that comes to her mind.  She asks him to sleep with her and when he looks like he is going to refuse, she kisses him. 

Conner Paxton has been ordered by his doctor to rest.  Conner has decisions to make; decisions that involve life or death.  Until Natalie waltzed her way into his life and heart, he wasn’t sure he was going to choose to live. 

This was a haunting and often heart-wrenching tale of betrayals and big decisions.  However, the sexuality of the characters and the way they responded to each other was hot enough to melt wax.  From the first scene to the last, I felt the love the characters had for each other and not many books do that.  A Healing Passion is a great, quick read.  One I will peruse more than once.
