Healing Hope ~ CA Harms

Hope Larsen is living each day of her life with a crippling guilt. 

The game of ‘what if’ has made it almost impossible to move forward from such a 

horrific event. In one life-changing moment, someone who meant so very much 

to her was taken. A man who once was her best friend. A man she fell in love 

with. 

She wanted to love him freely even though he was gone and not feel so 

immobilized by his absence. Relive the memories of times they shared without 

feeling broken and lost. 

Then he shows up. 

He waltzes right into her life as if he belongs, strong confident and determined to 

make her see him. 

When Travis Donovan crosses paths with the snarky blonde, he’s intrigued. Her 

dismissal of him and his antics doesn’t have the effect she’d hoped for. In fact, 

it’s just the opposite. He’s not one to run scared from a challenge, but instead, 

he's the type to fight even harder to conquer it. 

Though she tries to fight her attraction for the cocky electrician, she finds that his 

dedication fascinates her.  

Hope comes to the realization that there’s one thing that scares her the most. 

This man reminds her of the one she lost. 

That stride, that smile, even the way he torments her…it’s all the same. He could 

be the one to show her that it's okay to move forward. It’s okay to love again. 

Travis Donovan just might be the one to heal Hope

C.A Harms's books are #Oneclick worthy. Everyone of her books that I have read I loved. Healing Hope is no different. I immediately fell in love with Travis and Hope. The tragedy in Hope's past is heart breaking. I could feel her pain through the pages.  C.A.'s writing is emotional, fluid and just downright awesome.

As I said before, I loved Travis and Hope. Travis is such a good guy. He genuinely cares about people and it shows with his family and his company. He is persistent, dedicated and determined. He doesn't let Hope's fiery attitude get in his way. He blast right through it. 

Hope is struggling at the start. I almost wondered if she could ever recover from her loss and pain. It took Travis and his teasing to make Hope want to live again. He made her want to get back to the fun loving girl she once was. 

Travis's love for Hope is apparent in everything he does. While there are some hurdles the two have to face together, each decision they made was with good intentions. While the end result may not have been what either wanted, they both thought they were doing the right thing. 

There is that one evil character that I wanted to punch in the face and while I understand that the character was a necessity.....I still want to punch them anyway. 

I really love this book and all others by C.A. Harms. The characters are awesome and well written. They are complex and lovable. The story deals with love, loss, heartbreak and healing; Everything we could want.
