About the Book
British spy Levi Masters is captured while investigating a discovery that could give America an upper hand in future conflicts.

But when he faces a severe injury, they are forced to decide how far they'll go to ensure the other's safety.From the Back Cover
She was called to be a healer, but her skills--and heart--have never been so challenged.Levi Masters's time as a British spy hasn't ended, though his country's war with America has. After overhearing a scout reveal a discovery that could give America the upper hand in future conflicts, Levi is sent on one last mission. While trekking through the Canadian Rockies in pursuit of his former enemy, he is taken captive by warriors from a hidden mountain village.
Village healer Audrey Moreau is more curious than afraid of the outsider, and she's drawn to his commitment to honesty even at his own expense. Despite her arguments for his release, the council remains at an impasse. Compelled to help him escape, she sneaks him out of the village. But when Levi faces a life-threatening injury and the fierce mountain winter closes in, Levi and Audrey are forced to discover just how far they'll go to ensure the safety of the other and the love growing between them.

Delightful Series

This second book in Misty M. Bellar's Brides of Laurent series is just as delightful as the first. It was such a pleasure to once again visit the hidden community of Laurent in the Canadian Rockies. The themes of not getting ahead of God, but rather waiting on His guidance and timing, and the importance of extending grace and mercy as He has done for us are well-developed in the tale of the community's healer, Audrey Moreau, and Levi Masters, a British intelligence officer. The value of putting others first is also essential to the story. While this is the second book of the series, it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone read. I highly recommend A Healer's Promise to fans of historical fiction, especially to those who wish for a place where a sense of true community thrives. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Bethany House via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

A Healer’s Promise is a beautiful follow-up novel to the first in the Brides of Laurent series, A Warrior’s Heart. It is a great reminder that, in the end, the truth will set you free. Audrey drew me in from the first book, so I was very pleased to be able to read this one, which focused in on her. She’s so gentle and kind and it makes you want to be her best friend! And Levi Masters is such a noble and upright man that you can’t help but admire him. This was such a heartwarming story and written in a very easy-to-read style. It was like a hug, warm and uplifting. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to read it! Bravo to Ms. Beller for such a beautiful story!

3.5 stars "This man is not a danger to us. If we shed innocent blood, that evil will be marked to our account. He must be set free." Carved deep into the Canadian Rockies, the mountain village of Laurent is heavily guarded and highly suspicious of strangers. When British spy Levi Masters stumbles into their midst while following American intelligence, he begins to regret what his occupation has turned into. Now his very life hangs in the balance, for the village council will soon decide his fate and Levi's only ally seems to be Laurent's lovely young healer, Audrey Moreau. Audrey Moreau is convinced that deep down Levi Masters is a good man. One with regrets? Certainly. But not one with ill intent towards her beloved Laurent community. Acting on a whim, Audrey whisks Levi out of the village, not trusting the village leaders to spare his life. What happens afterwards is going to test every ability they each possess to survive. Has Audrey just made the worst mistake of her young lifetime, or is God still capable of working all things to His good. "I'm praying Audrey. The Lord has a plan in this, though I don't know what it is. He'll carry us through." With each step further into this unique cave community, the author utilizes her creative imagination to remind readers how extraordinary God's ordinary plans can turn out to be. Aubrey and Levi's faith journeys may have had vastly different beginnings, but both are tested in order to be strengthened. Be sure to cozy up with your favorite blanket while you read . . . . it's cold in those caves! I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.

I haven't read a single book by this author that I didn't love. And this one started out great and just kept right on! It's a story of a little village in the Canadian Rockies in the 1800's. The people are good people, but Levi, finds himself in a compromised position as an enemy to these people, but a man with a great heart, nonetheless. And Audrey's heart tells her he is a good person and helps him escape from his captivity. I was enthralled as the story takes them away from her home and people in an effort to protect him. The characters are really likeable in every way. There is lots of adventure and danger and action. No dull moments to skim past quickly. It is a well-written romance and speaks to me of faith and trusts. Great book. And you won't want to miss this one. It is book 2 of a series, but reads well as a stand-alone also. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. All thoughts are my own.
Wonderful series!

Laurent is a village in the mountains, a place that we might call utopia. Strangers to their tiny community might be dangerous, seeking to do them harm. Levi Masters was a British soldier, bringing with him memories of past horrors. Could this man be trusted? Audrey Moreau is the village healer. She has spent many hours learning from those who came before and spends her days harvesting the necessary herbs to keep the village healthy. Will she get herself into trouble by seeking to help one who is perhaps undeserving? What a lovely story of grace, putting the past behind and learning to accept the love of God for oneself. These well-developed characters have much to show us if we just consider their circumstances and how they realized the importance of setting the Lord first. With Him at your right hand, you will not be moved. This ARC of book 2 in the Brides of Laurent series was received through Baker Publishing Group, Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley. These thoughts and impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.

It was so wonderful to visit Laurent again and escape into a time past. I can see the picturesque village carved in the mountain and the people that survive off resources available. Living there for awhile in my mind was an amazing journey. I loved getting reacquainted with characters from the previous book and meeting newcomer Levi Masters. I admired the strength of character Audrey displayed to stand up for what she believed was right. Sometimes we get ahead of God and realize we should have sought His will first and this story shows that. I enjoy the real authentic characters this author creates amidst a storyline that sparks your imagination and keeps you immersed. This is book two in The Brides of Laurent series and I recommend you read the previous book for background on the characters although it isn’t necessary. Anxiously awaiting the next installment. I received a complimentary copy from the author. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
