A Healer's Promise (Brides of Laurent Book #2)

This story has climbed its way into my favorites list when it comes to Misty M. Beller's stories! I absolutely enjoyed this daring and romantic story, more than the first in the series. Audrey is an angel in everything she does, and has the sweetest heart. And Levi... (Swoon!) He's heroic, a gentleman, and did I mention he's British? Enough said. ;) The story kept me in suspense from early on until the end, and I loved the romance between the two leads. A great read from Misty and I absolutely recommend it to everyone.

A Healer’s Promise by Misty M. Beller is the second book in the Brides of Laurent series. If you are familiar with Misty’s books, you know she is so talented at creating natural landscapes in the wilderness of the west. The town of Laurent is even more intriguing because of its unique culture and ways of survival–like digging caves from the inside of a mountain to use as homes. I have been looking forward to revisiting Laurent after the first book, and I loved being able to follow Audrey’s story. She is such a gentle soul, a true picture of the love of Christ we should be willing to give to others. I related to her struggle to follow the promptings of God while not running ahead of His will. Levi is a man who made a living using deception during the war, but now wants to live by the truth and grace of God. I admired him for turning back to his faith even after doing things he regretted. Overall, I loved the beautiful mountain setting, the sweet, slow-burn romance, and the suspense of wondering what would happen to Levi and Audrey in the end. But my favorite part of this story was the strong inspirational themes of being obedient to God and extending forgiveness. This story is a great work of entertaining, Christian fiction. If you like Tracie Peterson, then you should definitely read Misty M. Beller’s books. You’ll be hooked! I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations of a positive review. All opinions are my own.

This book has so many wonderful things going on that I was completely wrapped up from beginning to end. In the first book we met Evan MacManus as he came across our village of Laurent. Now, Evan is coming back to marry Brielle Durand and he has a stranger following him. When Audrey Moreau first spots Levi Masters she is intrigued and as she becomes more familiar she is his only saving grace from his fate in Laurent. These two will endure danger and heartaches and be tested to their limits but with faith and trust they will survive. I loved Audrey's character as she is the healer but she has a back story that explains her need to see the good in people. Levi is likeable from the beginning. He is a good man that was in a bad situation and now wants to do God's will. There are so many great characters in this series and we are just getting to know them better. This is a continuing series as each book will be focused on two main characters but their stories will continue into the next books. Great stories and great series and I highly recommend this book. If you haven't read book one, A Warrior's Heart then I highly recommend that one as well as it will give you the beginning. I received an early copy to read and review with my honest opinion. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
