Wow. The twists and turns in this book. Jesse has a one night stand with Nova to forget a really bad night at work, only to be surprised when Nova comes up pregnant. He’s also in love with his best friend, Quinn. When he and Quinn tell his parents about the one night stand and soon-to-be grandchild, it all hits the fan. Nova and Quinn are at the center of decades of deception and crime, but getting to the heart of the story and unraveling all that was done by some holier-than-thou people rocks everyone’s world. This quick read had me figuring I knew what had happened early on, but piecing together all of the whos and whys still managed to surprise me. This is definitely worth the read!
Jesse and quinn besties since they were kids, find they can be best friends and lovers. This story had so many twists i did not see coming. Love this series.
I loved book 1 of the Messes Series and couldn’t wait to read book 2.
The author didn’t disappoint! The Healer is an amazing read! I was drawn in by the characters from page 1. This book focuses on Jesse from book 1 and his best friend.
The Healer included heartbreak, lies, betrayal, deceit and much, much more.. Jesse and Quinn face several hardships and learn some truths that they never expected.
This book took me on a heart-wrenching roller coaster of many emotions that had me crying happy tears as well as a few ugly tears.
If you give this book, this series a chance you won’t be disappointed.
Another fantastic and emotional read from this very talented author. This is the second book from her I have read and I can’t get enough!!
Jesse and Quinn have been friends forever and this book follows their relationship, going from friends to so much more! This book has all the emotions, twists, turns, intrigue, mystery and lots of sexiness. You will not be able to put this one down once you have started it!!
So good, so very good!! This book touches so many different subjects, personal, taboo and dark, the twist in this story is great!! Jesse and Quinn become friends to lovers, learns a delicate secret and come out with a awesome HEA. Love their story.
The second book to The Messes series features Jesse. He lost the woman he loved. This is his story about best friends realizing they have feelings for each other. With a bunch of suspenseful, plot twisting drama in thier lives, do they get the chance to act or do they remain friends. A must read series.
I got to admit I did not see any of this story coming. Jesse is an up and coming doctor but when he loses his patient he can’t handle it even with his friend Quinn by his side. His life has really been crummy the last few months, his fiancée is marrying someone else and now he lost a patient so he finds himself at a bar outside of town. Quinn and Jesse have been friends since they were little but he is in such a slump he doesn’t even want to see her but when she goes with him to his ex’s wedding he sees her in a whole new light. Jesse makes some bad decisions that night but you never see what happens after coming and your not sure where Jesse and Quinn will end up. I love when I have no idea how book is going to end especially when I am surprised.

Kiersten Modglin has done it again with the second book in the messes series The Healer. I thought the First book The Cleaner was a knock out of the park but she has hit a home run with this one. I have laughed, Cried and said more than once “I was not expecting that twist”. I am in shock and awe of this book, I didn’t want to put it down and I am ready for more in the Messes series.

The one constant in his life his best friend who has always been there for him, but when all of this tragedy turns to shock and an awe inspiring love story for the decade.

Quinn has always loved Jesse since forever but it was always a friend type love until recently she has felt the earth shift under her feet and she is willing to fall as long as it’s with Jesse.
“She was-heart and soul, head over heels-in love with her best friend. There was no turning back now.” – Q
Jesse and Quinn get their story told!! I loved the first book of The Messes series ,and was hoping for the same kind of love, but what I got was so much more. Suspense, love, twist and turns and secrets. There was quite a few chapters that had me holding my breath waiting to see what happened. This book is a definite page turner. Can’t wait for the last book!
After reading The Cleaner, I knew I HAD to read Jessie’s story. I was drawn into this story and read it straight through in one sitting. Jessie’s story picks up where Gunner’s left off. Jessie was left heartbroken when Gunner came back to Dale, Ga. and Raegan chose him over Jessie.
Quinn is his best friend, always has been. Only now, he is seeing her in a different light. Can they get past their fears and everything else that is happening to find their HEA?
Whatever I though I was getting with this book was not what I expected, there was so much more to this book than just a best friends to lovers story. Unexpected pregnancy, family secrets and more…… This book was a crazy ride or twists and turns. It’s been a while since an author was able to surprise me during a book but Kiersten Modglin has manages to do so more than once in her “the Messes” series. If you are looking for a new twist on your small town romances look no further, here it is.
Jesse and Quinn have been friends their whole life. Things start to change, but before they can admit it, they go through so much in their lives. No a story spoiler, but will say this was a great companion to #1 in the series. They make a sneak peak also. As with Kiersten’s books, this one leaves not exception to the ups/downs, suspense, drama and secrets that have been looming for years. But I will say, the the love they feel for each other is true, whole and hard. Has been for years, just never labeled it. One minute you think you know the secret, the next your completely wrong. Very well written, with a HEA, but before that, the obstacles they go through is incredible and dramatic. You feel things for some parties that you start out not really like, but come to love. I recommend this highly and can’t wait for the next one!
Wow..This book was full of twists and turns. Never seen the twist coming that completely changes this story line. It was done in such a way that you are definitely thrown for a huge loop. I was freaking shocked . Loved the twist. This book was absolutely amazing and gripping from beginning to end. Love Quinn . I love her character and how strong she is through everything. I love her relationship with Jesse. I can’t say enough about this one. An amazing well written shocking gripping story line with two amazing characters. Highly recommend. Kiersten blew me away with this one
Awesome book!! I absolutely loved Jesse & Quinn! This author never fails to tell an amazing story that will hook you right away and keep you enthralled all the way to the end.
Wow… What an edge of your seat page turner! Kiersten Modglin has written another must read suspense/ mystery/ thriller! This book is absolutely amazing and gripping from beginning to end, so full of shocking twists and turns.
Kiersten Modglin writes suspense books with a tad of romance and a lot of magic voodoo that hooks you into reading more! Also, she has a way to hold the reader until the last page is turned, that ability in an author is amazing! Go ahead and forget about trying to figuring out the “who did it” part. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, she pulls the rug right out from under you over and over. Now The Healer is book 2 in the Messes Series, this book can be read as a stand-alone. The Healer is Jesse and Quinn’s story. A roller coaster of love, denial, heartbreak, finding one’s self and so much more. I could not put it down, I devoured it in a single night, with a book hangover in the morning.
I loved this book. I’m impatiently waiting for the next in the series. I love how Kiersten mixes romance with mystery.
I was dying to read another book by this author, and the wait was so worth it. Yet again, I was pulled into her writing. Jesse and Quinn’s story was phenomenal. The twists you come upon, has you wracking your brain to figure everything out. I can’t wait until the next book comes out.
The Healer, by Kiersten Modglin is an Amazing, Emotional, cant put down Book!!
Quinn and Jesse’s Story is such a real, raw, emotional one!!
All of her books that ive read so far ive loved so much!
“I can’t ask you to help me. This isn’t your mess.”
“You’re my mess, Jess. You always have been.”
Oh. My. Goodness! Who doesn’t like a friends to secret crush to lovers story? If you don’t, you will after reading this one! What a great read!!

A few drinks , a one-nighter with a stranger, and his best friend by his side at the wedding of he ex, and he’ll be right again. Not so fast. Everything changes in the blink of an eye and his life becomes embroiled in secrets, lies, mystery, all somehow pointing at the ones he loves.

Can they get through this together or will the discovery of the truth and a strange connection between everyone involved destroy them all?
Quinn Reynolds has been in love with Jesse for years. Not that he’d know that. She’d have to tell him in order for him to know that. But, now things are changing between them and she wants so badly to believe that he’s feeling the same for her. As Jesse is facing a life-altering situation, she’d never leave him alone to struggle with it. He means too much to her and he needs her. When questions and secrets surrounding them lead to danger, will they survive it? Will she lose him forever before they can even become an “us”?
As in true Modglin fashion, the twists and turns in this one are amazing! All the players, the secrets, the unexpected connections, the danger, the lies and mystery keep you guessing until the very end! I loved the story of loyalty, and support, and understanding even when the one you love makes a mistake. But, some mistakes are unforgiveable too. You’ll have to read the story to know which ones, but let me tell you, I was shocked!!
Another amazing romantic thrilller from Ms. Modglin! Keep ’em coming!!
