My Review:
Healing of the Heart is book three in Loree Lough’s Secrets of Sterling Street series. This is a great book that I really enjoyed reading. Loree’s writing style is one that will have you hooked. A story of love, redemption and healing, Healing of the Heart is one you will not put down until you have read every word. Even though it is part of a series, this book can be read as a stand-alone.
The only thing Ruby McCoy wants to do is to right her father’s wrongs. She and her mother move to FairPlay and move into the biggest mansion in town. Ruby’s father was a notorious gangster who was hung five years ago. She uses the “blood money” her father left her to help out those who need it. Sheriff Rex Truett doesn’t trust Ms. McCoy and is determined to find out her story but when a cholera epidemic strikes the town, he has to rethink his actions. Ruby has no intentions on falling in love but that all is about to change. What about her secret, will she win Rex’s heart or will he turn his back on her?

About the Book
When Ruby McCoy and her mother arrive in Fairplay and promptly move into the biggest mansion around, they are the talk of the town. But while Mrs. McCoy worries about ribbons, trunks, and wallpaper, Ruby rolls up her sleeves. Since the hanging of her notorious gangster father five years ago, Ruby, hiding under an assumed name, is on a mission to right her father’s wrongs. She is determined to spend every penny of her inherited “blood money” helping those who paid the price for her father’s crimes. But she didn’t plan on falling in love.
Sheriff Rex Truett doesn’t trust Ruby and doesn’t care who knows it. The keeper of Fairplay’s law and order makes it his business to find out why a stranger—especially a beautiful, rich, female stranger—would set up businesses, donate to schools, hire workmen to rebuild houses, and provide access to the best medical care. But when a cholera epidemic sweeps through the city, he is forced to reconsider.
Will Ruby have the courage to tell Rex her family secret? And will love or justice win in Rex’s heart?
