Healing the Hunter
Paperback version.
Corinne started her career as a doctor hours away from home to avoid emotional attachments, but her plan to be all-work-no-play goes right out the window when she rescues bruised and beaten Michael Atherton one January night and discovers patching him up requires patience and sacrifice. He's damaged in more ways than one. Carrying out her oath to heal and do no harm becomes complicated when she's drawn into his unusual life of demon hunters, vampires, witches, and a teenage daughter.
If I love him, I have to let him go...
Mike is good at two things--killing monsters and making his ex scream. The graveyard shift is a lonely life and no one believes in him until he meets Dr. Corinne Larkin. She's beautiful, kind, shares his taste in movies, and soon becomes his best friend.
If I tell her the truth about the world, she'll think I'm crazy...
There's risk and pain, but the reward will be sweet if Corinne can master the art of healing this hero.
Paranormal romance with adult content.

This is not your typical urban fantasy and so I can understand the very different ratings that it has received. There is very little actual violence and this is something that a lot of UF readers are looking for. I liked the complexities of the relationships and that's where this book's strengths are centred. If you're a fan of contempory romance with an unusual hero, the you'll like this. If you like more typical UF, then maybe this one isn't for you.

Half-way thru and I knew I couldn't go on. What a long-winded, boring novel that was going absolutely nowhere.

Disappointing
I developed such a dislike for Mike's pining after his ex, Bethany, I was unable to reconcile my feelings when he finally saw that Corinne was right in front of him...loving him! I was a bit disappointed in her also for being so quick to accept him. I'm happy for them but felt it was a little too much too late. Also, a little disappointed in the lack of steam. I thought perhaps it was a PG book since it had been in my library for quite a while before I read it and I couldn't remember the synopsis. However, the last chapter was definitely R rated so I wish there had been a little more throughout the book. It was difficult to read but now that I finished it, I'm glad I did. I really don't like not finishing books I own. My rating is "not for me but maybe for you."

According to the book cover and the annotation, I thought it would be more steamy. It's not a bad thing, though, because instead of hot scenes, the reader gets more psychological view of relationship. I especially like how the interactions between Corinne and Mike were getting more and more heater and how Corinne was trying to stop loving Mike. The author did a great job. The end was a little bit too obvious and personally I didn't like the design of the book very much (e.g. all in the same font - reserved rights, the name of chapters, plain text..), but in my opinion "Healing The Hunter" is definitely worth reading.

It had a decent but redundant story, I guess it could have been worse. The sex, it wasn't hot at all.

Just was not my type of story. I could not get into it.

The star rating given reflects my opinion within ‘the official goodreads rating system’.
1 star: Didn’t Like it
2 stars: It’s Okay
3 stars: Liked it
4 stars: Really Liked it
5 stars: It Was Amazing
I don’t really give a rat-fuck that there are some who think I ‘owe’ an explanation for my opinion. Nope, nada, and not sorry about it.
Sometimes I may add notes to explain what my opinions are based on, and sometimes I don’t. I do this for me, on my books, in my library and I don’t ‘owe’ any special snowflakes a thing. Fuck off if you don’t like it and stop reading my shit.
Particularly given the ‘modifications’ to reader’s personal content going on (and outright censorship), unless particularly motivated I will not comment in detail.
It would help if GR was forthcoming in the new ‘appropriate’ and would make a site-wide announcement delineating the new focus from a reader-centric site to one that is now for authors and selling.
