Summary from Goodreads:
Remy O’Malley heals people with touch—but every injury she cures becomes her own. Living in a household with an abusive stepfather, she has healed untold numbers of broken bones, burns,and bruises. And then one night her stepfather goes too far.


Being sent to live with her estranged father offers a clean start and she is eager to take it. Enter Asher Blackwell. Once a Protector of Healers, Asher sacrificed his senses to become immortal. Only by killing a Healer can a Protector recover their human senses. Falling in love is against the rules between these two enemies. Because Remy has the power to make Protectors human again, and when they find out, they’ll becoming for her—if Asher doesn’t kill her first.

Thoughts:
I really..really wish that writers would just stop using the Twilight plotline all over again. Please just stop. I thought the blurb sounds promising after all a story about healers have always intrigued me. But after slogging through the uninspiring and confusing early chapters, I just feel my attention and interest slowly slipping away. I am thinking that avid romance writers might find this compelling but girls who love a bit more action will definitely be turned off by the many similarities to the Twilight saga. As one blogger even pointed out that the cover is certainly a rip off of the first book. Please, I'm begging publishers and writers to be more creative rather than churning out the same old forbidden romance plot over and over again.
