Healing Touch Brenda Rothert

Description:

She spends her nights treating patients, but Dr. Jocelyn Drake's own wounds are unfixable. Her ex-husband and his younger, bouncier girlfriend work just a few floors away at Tulane Medical Center, and they serve as a constant reminder of what Joss lost. But a fierce determination to continue her research project and a shred of remaining pride keep Joss from transferring out of the Big Easy.
Carson Stephens recently returned from a tour of duty in the Middle East, and though willing women present themselves at every turn, his closest companion is loneliness. His night-shift work supervising the electrical and mechanical systems at the hospital is a perfect fit - it's solitary work putting broken things back together.
When the electrical system on Joss' floor goes haywire, she's frazzled by the sexy electrician who sparks her dormant sex drive. He's brooding and cocky - so not her type. But if Carson has his way, his hands will work their magic on more than just the wiring, and he'll show Joss a night of passion that restores her shattered confidence. 
But what happens after that night? As their relationship grows into something more, Joss and Carson face ups and downs, and they both realize that the healing has only just begun.


My thoughts on the book:
Newly divorced Joss is ready to move on but since her and her ex, work in the same place it seems everyone is stuck on the gossip. Can they just let it go so she can continue to better the hospital and the women who need her? Carson is back in the states after his time overseas and it seems going homes not an option but when the opportunity comes to work in a hospital he jumps at it, he knows he won't have to talk to people so I mean how bad can it be.  However, when Joss comes into the room she lights it up and he's drawn to her and he knows he needs to run the other way. Can they work together or will their personalities be too much for each other?

I guess this book was released before and this is a new rewrite. That being said I never read the first one so my opinions are only on this one. I found the characters fun, both are stubborn, strong-willed and a little broken. I liked how fierce, tenderhearted and big-hearted Joss is she was easy to enjoy in this book. Carson was broken and tried to be macho. I felt like there was no real hero in this book but I felt like they were both trying to be heroes for each other. This book does have strong language and adult scenes. Overall, in the end, I was not a fan of this book. I felt like the story was good just some things could have been without. 
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion
