Book Summary
Wyoming Territory, 1876
As the only doctor in the frontier town of Savage Wells, Gideon MacNamara knows his prospects for a bride are limited. The womenfolk in town are either too young, too old, or already spoken for. So, being a practical man, he decides to take advantage of the matchmaking service of the day—mail-order brides—and sends away for a woman with nursing experience.
When Miriam steps off the stagecoach in Savage Wells, she sees a bright future in front of her. But when the town—and Gideon—meets her, ready for a wedding, her excitement quickly turns to horror. Somehow Dr. MacNamara's message had gotten turned around. He didn’t want a nurse, he wanted a wife. When she refuses to marry him, she finds herself stranded in Savage Wells with some very unhappy townspeople.
But Gideon is not like the other men Miriam has met. Embarrassed by the misunderstanding, he offers her a job, and the two begin an awkward—and often humorous—dance of getting to know each other as they work to care for the people of their town. Romance blossoms between the two, but when a former medical associate of Miriam’s arrives in town, Gideon and the other townsfolk must rally around Miriam to protect her from a dangerous fate. Gideon and Miriam must decide if they are willing to risk their hearts for each other even as buried secrets are brought to light.

My Review
I loved the first book in the Savage Wells series. It was humorous and different from other Proper Romances. The great thing is that you don't have to read The Sheriff of Savage Wells before reading Healing Hearts. I would highly suggest you do read it first because you will meet up with many of those same characters in the second book.
From the beginning of the book you'll fall in love with Gideon and your heart will be with the kind and beautiful Miriam. The interaction and humor shared between these two characters was one of the highlights for me in this novel. Even though there is humor, there are many other serious issues highlighted in the novel such as dementia, epilepsy, and the conditions of asylums in the late 1800's.
With Miriam's big mystery from her past looming in the background, Gideon is slowly falling in love with the quiet, but dedicated Miriam. The many varied personalities that live in the town only help endear this story to the reader. I also really loved Gideon's parents who were rich, but kind and helpful especially to Miriam's plight.
This is another solid novel written by Sarah Eden. Anyone who loves reading a clean romance with wonderful characters and a strong plot will enjoy reading Healing Hearts.
