I really enjoyed Jesse and Quinn’s friends-to-lovers story, but before reading make sure you sit down and buckle up. This book had a sweet love story, but it also has a soap opera aspect that will make you go, “what?!?” Read it and you’ll see.
OMFG!!! SPEECHLESS!!! TOTALLY SPEECHLESS!! THE HEALER by Kiersten Modglin BLEW ME AWAY with this One and She is a New Author for me!! Once I started reading, I devoured this book in ONE Sitting since it was So Captivating from the Start and BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN!! It was such a Rollercoaster ride of TWISTS AND TURNS that Have your Jaw Dropping several times!! A Suspenseful thriller of Epic proportions and never a Dull moment page after page!!
I will warn you that The HEALER will Squeeze your Heart Dead but will Quickly puts you Back Together Again. Plus there is a little Mysterious secret that will Leave you Speechless!
DEFINITELY A MUST READ BOOK AND definitely looking forward to read more of Kiersten Modglin!!
Jesse was the man who got dumped in The Cleaner, book one of this series. He was a good guy then, and he remained that way in this book. He and Quinn had been best friends since childhood, but they started becoming more when Jesse became single again.
I enjoyed this story, but I didn’t feel like I got into the heads of the main couple the way I wanted to. This was especially true for Quinn. Since the story was told from both Jesse’s and Quinn’s POV, I would have liked to hear more of her thoughts. She sometimes went back and forth with her decisions. Then there was Nova, who had been through a lot in her life. She seemed strong and likable at the beginning of the book, then she turned into someone I didn’t care for, then she changed yet again.
I liked Jesse more than any of the other characters, but even he annoyed me sometimes. He seemed almost too perfect at times, then he jumped to conclusions at others.
I enjoyed the story here, I just wish I had felt a stronger connection with the main characters. I hope that the storyline left slightly open at the end will be expanded upon, because that was my favorite part of this book. I’ll keep reading the series, but so far I have to say that book one remains my favorite.
Although this is book 2 in the series, I read this one first. I am sure I missed some character buildup from the first book, but I had no problem with this one. Jesse and Quinn have been best friends their entire lives. Quinn has known for a while that she loves Jesse, but she kept it secret. Jesse and Quinn go to his ex-fiancee’s wedding, and Jesse suddenly see Quinn as a sexy, hot, desirable woman. There will be many road blocks and obstacles for them to overcome. First will be Jesse’s one night stand the night before the wedding. Will Quinn overcome her commitment issues? Will they both be willing to risk their friendship to find love with each other? I suggest that you pick up this book and find out for yourself. Once I started it, I did not want to put it down, and I now want to read the first book, and then get the rest as they come out. This book has it all, love, romance, suspense, bad guys, old secrets, so you can’t go wrong reading this one!
This was book was not for me. At all.
Uff. Where can I start? This is the second book of the lesser series. This is the story of Quinn and Jesse. This book made me feel so many different emotions all at once. I travel inside their world . I wasn’t expecting that huge twist at the end and I even cry like a baby at one point. Great book! Any book that makes me feels as many emotions as this one is worth a read and a recommendation. Read this book you won’t regret it!
This book was unlike any that I have ever read. Jesse is a resident surgeon and Quinn is a nurse at the same hospital. They have been best friends since children and there for each other through good and bad.
Quinn has always been in Love with Jesse but keeps it secret as she doesn’t want to risk their friendship. When they attend the wedding of his ex fiancé Jesse sees Quinn in a different light and realizes how amazing she is. Unfortunately a one night stand comes back with consequences that send a dramatic chain of events from the past and present to come to a dramatic and suspenseful consequence.
I enjoyed the constant secrets and how they were revealed in this captivating and complex story.
I am volunteering to leave a review for this book
4.5 Stars
Another one from Kiersten Modglin that left me thinking what kind of town is Dale??? Let me first start off by saying Quinn is hands down the most amazing Best Friend to Jesse and I couldn’t be happier with the way their friendship progresses. I don’t know that I could ever handle what Quinn did with such grace. Jesse’s world seemed to be turning upside down, yet he held true to himself and finally opened his eyes to what was always right in front of him, he did not give up or give in, he just held tight and that was endearing! This story had enough little twists to keep me on the edge of my seat and flipping pages, soooo worth the read!!!
This book is phenomenal!! Great characters and awesome build-up of story! This has everything you need for a fantastic story!! I love Jesse and Quinn! Their relationship is simmering at the surface and then explodes in the most wondrous ways! Absolutely recommend!!
Omg I loved this book sooooo much!!!!! Jess and Quinn have been best friends since they were kids and have always been there for each other! Things start to change between the two friends and feelings start to develop that Jess never notices before! Jess has a one night stand that changes a lot of things and because of it unlock some truly crazy and scary secrets! This book has you on the edge of your seat and you can’t put it down!!! I laughed and cried, it was so wonderful!!!!
I also loved finally having someone writer about healthcare providers (being a nurse you spoke my language) haha
Jesse and Quinn has been best friends forever. Before the wedding of his ex fiancé he made a life changing decision and it changes the course of both their lives. I so didn’t see any of the things coming! It was so much deeper then just the drama I would think coming from Nova. I I didn’t know if I was going to hear or like how it was going at each turn cause I was fighting for them.
The Healer is book 2 in the Messes series books. Jesse and Quinn have known each other there whole lifes. Jesse doesn’t know that Quinn has loved him for most of it. I love a friend to lovers romance. If you want twist and turns, you will definitely get it in this book. There were tons of parts a my mouth dropped and i was like dang, didnt see that coming. I enjoyed this whole book and loved the ending. Great read!
This is the second book in the Messes Series and I absolutely loved The Cleaner, so I knew I’d really enjoy this one and I was not wrong! What a great book!
This book feels like the author took her entire book of subplots, threw it at the wall, and saw what stuck! Sometimes less is more. Jesse and Quinn were interesting characters, he’s a doctor, she’s a nurse. They work together and are long time friends, helping each other through life’s ups and downs…she helps him more than her. Life throws in all that extra stuff, and the story went down hill for me. Sorry, not my cuppa.
So good!!! At first I wasn’t to sure about this book since it sounded like a love story gone another way but when you start it it’s all about these prefect families of Jesse’s and Quinn’s. They have been around each other since diapers. Best friends that have been by each other’s side whenever wherever. Jesse not getting married and his ex fiancé getting married to another person shortly after they ended their engagement sounds so bad but he went and smiled and showed that he’s ok. As the book gets deeper things aren’t adding up. Jesse’s one night stand turns into a lot more than just fun. The truth about what happened to Nova and why all the secrets. Took turns that I never saw coming.
Amazing, brilliant, loved it – just about sums up how i felt about this book. Number 2 in the series however can be read as stand alone, although I would highly recommend reading book 1 first as you get to know where some of the characters fit in. If come into this thinking it’s a friends to lovers story – you would be correct, but it’s a lot lot more besides. There are plenty of twists and turns in this one to keep you turning the pages and finding it extremely hard to put down. There’s even a twist in the final chapter that you may find yourself getting the tissues out !!
Best Friends
What a mess might describe this book! Jesse and Quinn are best friends and Kiersten definitely keeps you in the dark of how this book ends for sure. Best friends to lovers with multiple twists you won’t see coming. Good read for sure!
I was once again enthralled in the world the author created. I love the chemistry between Quinn and Jessi and I found myself rooting for them as they navigate their difficult relationship. I really love this series and look forward to the next in the series.
Wow this book kept you right from the beginning one that you have two people that you see should be together because they are perfect for each other but of course this isn’t happening. Quinn was always there for Jesse and this story will have your head spinning with the twists and turns that it ends up having. Secrets and lies that will blow up and how it if it can be fixed. Great book and the author did a great job again.
This was is a book about 2 BFF’s, Jesse, a Doctor, and Quinn, a nurse, who need to decide whether to carry their friendship to the lovers level. There is also a one night stand with a woman old enough to be his mother, where the condom breaks. We all know where that leads. The first part of the book was okay but the last half was great. Lots of mystery and secrets that will change the lives of everyone.
