Healed by You (The Harbour Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 111 ratings

After giving the performance of a lifetime in my latest movie, I’m riding a high in my career.

Ready to celebrate, I come home only to find my wife giving a performance of her own—no amount of bleach will scrub this image from my brain.

My ex-wife is hellbent on making my life a living nightmare—slandering me in every tabloid and talk show from coast to coast. Her damaging lies could cost me everything I’ve worked so hard for.

Added to that, I find out that my friend, Harlow Trembley, has publicity troubles of her own. As a famous fashion model, she’s used to the gossips printing scathing lies. But the most recent lie involves the two of us.

As our worlds collide, I propose we turn the tables on the stalkerazi.

I ask her to be my fake girlfriend.

We know the game, and the stakes are high. As the summer goes on, our pretending turns to something more.

Can Harlow heal the parts of my soul that need it most—or will I end up pushing her away?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

International Bestselling Author and self-proclaimed french fry addict, Christy Pastore writes sexy, contemporary romance books that contain no nonsense (mostly) heroines and swoony gentleman with a naughty side. Readers so overwhelmingly embraced one Wicked Gentleman, Jackson Hart specifically, turning many of her #AuthorGoals into a reality.

When Christy’s not turning her risqué thoughts into something worth reading, you’ll find her geeking out on all things pop culture, obsessively stalking Pinterest for home interior ideas, lunching with friends, or researching her next vacation destination.

She has strong opinions about folding laundry, fruity wines, the Oxford Comma, fashion, and mixed vegetables.

Christy lives in central Indiana with her husband and their three loveable cats, Cheeto, Dorito, and Brew. But as cute as they are, please send scratching posts asap because they’re slowly destroying the furniture.

    This novel is a gift!!

    Healed by You is a sweet, fun, loving and sexy gift!! Christy draws you in w/ all of her fabulous Hampton details; and then of course there is Grady... and his dreamy blue eyes.
    #GradysLady is as special as he is ~

    I love Christy Pastore's writing, she draws you into story with her attention to detail, giving us fabulous destinations, a great group of friends, gorgeous fashion and intelligent, smart, sexy characters!
    I personally have had my eye on Grady James when he was first introduced to us in the Scripted Series ...he had depth to be explored! I am so glad Christy have us Grady's story...and his lady! (You don't have to read Scripted Series, but you will want to!!)
    We are taken from Hollywood Glam to Hamptons Classics; Sea Side Summer Tents & Charity Polo Matches. Christy writes about luxury and opulence all while making the characters seem extremely relatable and down to earth!
    I don't care for reviews that give away the story or plot lines; but I will tell you both Grady & his Lady have been hurt, both are wounded and in need of a bit of TLC. They recognize that in each other, they allow their relationship to grow and flourish. It doesn't go over the top, it's real and heartfelt. They are fun, sexy and gorgeous! You root for them, laugh with them, want to be friends with them.....I wanted to have a Montauk Sandy on the deck at sunset w/ them!
    This novel is a gift, feels like you are at the Brunch table, drinking Mimosas rolling yours eyes at "Lulalamoan" right along with all of Grady's friends...because that is what friends do!

    Do not drag your feet on getting this book! I love reading a love story, one that just has you smiling ... this one delivers!

    Healed by You takes you on a journey of healing when it’s so easy to give up and never trust again. It’s a novel with multi-dimensional aspects, combining romance, friendships, heartache, and hope. I connected with both of these characters immediately, understanding their pain and their happiness. Christy Pastore guides us on a beautiful ride in this story, allowing her humor to shine as well as the symbolism she creates with her words. She ties in the elements of great literature with the emotions and truth of a modern society, creating a novel that dances off the pages.

    For lovers of true romance, read this novel and embark in a journey that will have you feeling all kinds of emotions. It’s sexy, sweet, funny, and adds the right amount of drama. Grady and his lady are mature, which is refreshing, and their communication is extraordinary throughout the story. Their sparks fly from the beginning, and their love is the real deal.

    My favorite quote:

    “The two of us knew what rock bottom looked like and we were determined to crawl from beneath the rubble and not let it destroy us.”

    Christy has a way of building characters so they feel like friends you have known forever. The East Harbour crew are similiar to members of your favorite sitcom. You've seen their antics, felt their heartache, celebrated their accomplishments, and watched them grow. Grady James is a major part of that. Who was once a secondary character, is now the leading man. Do you want to know the best part? You don't have to watch 8 seasons to catch up. You can start right here with Healed by You but obviously, you'll want to binge Christy's books because they've all been amongst my favorites.

    The amount of growth we see in Grady is incomparable. I feel like he grew into a man, while still holding on to his naughty side while reading this book. His love for his lady is above all else. I think he will surprise you with all that is behind his pretty face. Grady is a master at many things!

    I cannot say enough about his lady. I wanted to be her friend. Not even her friend, but her best friend. Christy's heroines are all admirable, strong women who aren't here to play games. Grady's lady is the one I connected most with. I loved the passion she brought to all facets of her life. Not only is she a focused and savvy businesswoman, but she brings out the best in her man. You'll be surprised at how Healed By You plays out.

    If you are looking to truly escape, come to East Harbour. Christy will continue to take you on a visual journey with her words. I CANNOT WAIT for the next standalone in the series.

    Healed by You is the second book in the Harbor Series and can be read as a standalone, but trust me one this – you will want to grab Bound to Me (book 1) after reading this book!

    Grady and Harlow are both dealing with ultimate betrayals from their significate others. After bumping into each other a few times, they realize that there is something “more” between them. The sparks start flying, the heat gets turned up a few notches, lust takes over and both of their minds are stuck in the proverbial “gutter” with all those dirty thoughts! They help each other heal – body, mind and soul.

    What a fantastic book to end the year on! I have to say that Harlow and Grady are one of my favorite couples!

    Three of my most favorite lines in the book are:
    “Not a deviant. But if you leave the sexual innuendo door open even a fraction, I’ll come barreling through like the Kool Aid Man.”
    “The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.”
    “Good, because I want to hug your face with my thighs.”

I do not ever give away spoilers so just know that this book will leave you wanting more of this series. Enjoy the ride.
