Care and Comfort (Secret Springs: Healing Hands Book 2)

Care and Comfort By: Minerva Howe 📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚 First impression matter! You know what they say about first impressions and people who can’t say when they’re wrong? Yeah well let’s say everyone has both! I truly loved this book and I’ll admit it was my first with this author but I’ve already plan to read more. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills. Authors blurb: Devon Tierney has been in Secret Springs for a long time, his duties as a midwife making sure he sees everyone else's happy ending. But he doesn't see much opportunity to date, and even with his amazing cats waiting for him at home, he's lonely. Enter a super grumpy EMT with a sister who goes into labor on Valentine's Day, and Devon starts to wonder if he should rethink that feeling. Laird McCallum wants his sister to go to a hospital to give birth. He's an EMT, and he has no love for any kind of super-crunchy-granola birth center and the midwife who goes with it. But then he gets to know Devon, and he has to admit, he enjoys his company, and he thinks Devon is utterly lovely. But then they have to come together and get to know one another in the most awkward set of circumstances. Can they find a way to be together, even though they did everything backward? This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable.…

Welcome back to Silver Springs where the large population of human omegas has been offset recently by the arrival of a number of human Alphas. Devon Tierney is a registered nurse and midwife and obstetrician who owns and runs a birthing center which most omegas prefer over going to the hospital. It’s warm and cozy and has great modern equipment in their berthing rooms. Devon now has another qualified accoucheur in his partner Raven and Naomi on the front desk. But he still doesn’t seem to be able to find time for himself. When Laird McCallum brought his sister in to deliver because her husband was out of town, he treated Devon like a quack and insisted they go to a hospital. He and Devon butted heads a few times and really didn’t like each other. But that changed pretty fast. The big, brawny fireman/EMT was totally won over by Devon after they spent hours over breakfast chatting. This is book 2 of the Secret Springs: Healing Hands series which is a spin-off of the original Secret Springs 5 book series. Prior reading is recommended. These stories are cozy and comfortable small town life. There is learning to be a couple, humor and enough spice to keep your interest. And babies. Lots of babies. Minerva writes HEAs we all love.

Minerva Howe takes us back to Secret Springs with Care and Comfort. This is second book in the new Healing Hands series. While it can be read as a stand-alone, there are a lot of characters from the first book that are secondary characters in this storyline. Devon Tierney is a midwife and owner of the town’s birthing center. He is happy, successful, but overworked and lonely. When EMT Laird McCallum comes to the center with his sister, who is in labor, he questions Devon about everything. Devon stands up to Laird and defends his practice and his patients. Laird finds himself running into Devon a few days later and is quite taken with him. Devon, finds that Laird is a really nice guy when he isn’t in a complete panic about his sister giving birth. This is a sweet story about the growth of Devon and Laird’s relationship. Devon has some insecurities that he has to work through and Laird needs to learn how to pay attention to the people around him.

This book was so so good and it was such a joy to read. Devon is a a midwife who loves his job but wishes he was the one in their place having his own family. He's resigned to the fact it may not happen but then he meets Laird, an EMT who doesn't believe in the whole midwife thing. That is until his sister is ready to give birth and he wants her to go to a hospital but instead Devon comes in. Maybe they don't start on the best foot with Laird's opinions about his profession but his mind changes when they find themselves thrown together and start to get to know each other more. There's something there that can possibly lead to more if they can get together and make it work. I love this author's books and these two made me love them and fly through this book while making me want more. Looking foward to what this author has next.

This was a wonderful story full of love and babies. Devon is a midwife, owns his own center, and delivered babies for many Omegas. Laird is an EMT in their tiny town. They meet when Laird’s sister is going to have her baby and wants the birthing center instead of the hospital. The meeting did not go well. Definitely recommend this to anyone who loves babies and a good story!
