Doc spent the night in the livery with a strange woman. Not the best rumor to start the morning’s gossip.
All Lydia Walcott wanted was a warm shelter after a cold escape from an impending arranged marriage, a broken arm and a wounded spirit. When she curled up in an empty livery stall, she dreamed of seeking a new life with a job, a place to live, friends, and a future. She thought she was alone.
Loved and respected, Dr. Sterling Graham braved the ice covered roads to help the people of Cottonwood. His return trip left him exhausted and he barely got his horse settled before he curled up in the next stall. He thought he was alone.
The unwelcome solution to the unfortunate predicament of waking up together was for Lydia and Sterling to get married. His reputation and career, as well as her hope for a new life, are otherwise put in jeopardy.
Can they learn to trust each other enough to mesh their lives into a successful marriage which honors God? Or will pride, epidemic, and injury make coping seem impossible? Through the dangerous Iowa winter, their reputations are the least of their worries.
Healing Love Cottonwood Book 1 edition by Sophie Dawson Romance eBooks
A sweet, clean Christian romance with lovable characters all around (except for the “bad guys”, of course). I appreciate how the author doesn’t try to trump up tension by creating barely believable plot twists, a mistake many Indie-published fiction authors make (and some traditionally-published authors, as well). However, I think the book would have been more interesting if it had a little bit more of Cyrus in it, especially at the end. The speed with which the author brings him in and removes him for one of the last scenes is anti-climactic.I have two other major critiques. First, the way characters (even the town sheriff) regularly quote not one, but several verses of the Bible WITH CHAPTER AND VERSE is unrealistic. The pastor, yes, everybody else, no. Not that laypeople can’t do that, but they just don’t. Two, the author needs to go over the text two more times, at two- to three-week intervals, with her eyeballs and a text-to-speech function at the same time in order to do a better job of editing.
That said, if you’re looking for a story that will help you relax and improve your mood, this is a good one.

Healing Love Cottonwood Book 1 edition by Sophie Dawson Romance eBooks Reviews
Healing Love is an engaging read with both drama and romance aplenty.
Lydia is both a wounded spirt and a strong determined woman who is facing some unenviable choices. Remain in her childhood home and be physically and mentally tortured by her brother and submit to a marriage he has arranged or take a chance and run as far away as she can get.
She chooses the later and so begins a story of a frightened soul searching for a place to call safe. She arrives in a small town and stumbling into the town's livery - she spends a cold and rough night in the stalls with the horses. Unbeknownst to her, the local doctor has also sought shelter in the same livery after returning in the snow.
As they both emerge into the light of day - they soon realize that their lives are now inexpliably entwined and their very future now rests in the hands of the other.
An age old story of forced marriage between two very different people who both need the other more than they would ever care to admit. I really enjoyed the characters and the story ticked along with just the right amount of pace to develop the romance story nicely.
Highly recommend as a sweet story with enough edge and suspense to keep the reader engaged.
I really enjoyed reading this. Clean Romance of a young girl whose brother is mean to her and has been since their parents died about 10 yrs earlier - and know he demands that she marry his friend, whose is just as horrible as he is. So he leaves.
She goes as far as her money will take her then things happen. The beginning there is a lot of gossiping, one person says something then is retold with added stuff. Those who know about gossip knows what I am saying. This is one of the main issues of this story - gossip & what it leads to and despite what others may think, love does happen and she is gradually healed of distrust.
--Unfortunately, most of this Gossip comes from those who call themselves Christian ---
---No I will not tell you anymore - if I did you would not need to read this book. -- So hopefully you are like me and you want to find out for yourself just what this book is all about. ----- You will not be disappointed.
This is a clean, Christian romance. I assume you have read the general description and will try not to repeat what you already know. The Christian thread is moderate to strong yet the story itself remains the focus. In other words, you don't get the feeling that you are reading a sermon disguised as a story but rather a story about people of faith. The story includes the topics of domestic violence, gossip and superiority used against our heroine. It also includes much love, forgiveness, repentance, spiritual and personal growth and a beautiful romance. There are moments of tears and moments of laughter. The characters are very well drawn and the scenes are vividly depicted. You'll find a few editing and typo errors but not to the point of becoming annoying and nothing that impedes reading. It's a good solid story that stays true to the time period and unapologetically applies scripture and bible principles to issues that plague every society. I'm glad I read it. I will read it again in the future and I recommend it to you.
Young Lydia Walcott, fleeing from an abusive brother, ends up in Cottonwood, Iowa curled up in a stable seeking protection from an ice storm outside. Dr. Sterling Graham, returns to the same stable late at night, too exhausted to go home and collapses in an adjacent stall to Lydia. Thus starts a chain of scandalous events in the small town which changes the lives of these two permanently in ways neither had remotely considered.
This is one of the finest examples of the effects of post traumatic stress syndrome this reader/reviewer has ever read. Rarely do I ever hope for the best in a heroine who had suffered so much since being orphaned at the age of 12 and suffered cruelly under the hands of her twisted older brother. Escaping for her life with a fractured arm, ribs and facial injuries at the hands of her brother, she is broken physically and emotionally and it falls on the good doctor to bring her healing and trust. Forced into an unwanted marriage to protect both of their reputations, Sterling seeks God's will in bringing Lydia back to wholeness in tiny increments.
Along the way, we meet the people of Cottonwood who unwittingly forced a marriage between two total strangers as well as those who befriend Lydia and seek to love her, build her trust, and give her a sense of community and belonging.
Will Sterling and Lydia's relationship stand the test of an unwanted but forced marriage? Will Lydia's demented brother, who is furious at Lydia's escape, track her down and seek revenge? Will the good doctor Graham's practice permanently suffer because of the rumors and suspicions of the community? Will the love of God prevail in these seemingly insurmountable obstacles?
I was hooked from the first page of this compelling Christian Western romance and will eagerly seek more stories from Cottonwood.
