Publisher's summary

She almost died in a fire, and it wasn’t accidental.... Can her trusty canine sidekick and new love interest help to reveal the arsonist before he can strike another match?

Her entire life, everyone has just assumed that Nicole "Hawk" Hawkins was a pretty face without much substance. Now, to prove them all wrong, she’s taken on the toughest job she could find - as a Redwood Cove firefighter. She’s not on the job long before a deadly fire nearly takes her life, scarring and disfiguring her once gorgeous features in the process.

The worst part of it all? What happened wasn’t an accident.

Arnold "Snowball" Winters, a detective with Redwood Cove's police force, has loved Nicole since the day she first joined the station, and this new change in her appearance doesn’t change what’s in his heart. He’ll do whatever it takes to help her recover both her personal and work lives, recruiting Chance, a young golden retriever, to help in this mission.

No sooner is Nicole released from her lengthy hospital stay than another freak fire threatens her again - this time in her own home. Can Arnold and Chance find the culprit in time to save Nicole’s life...and maybe even win her heart while they’re at it?

Healing Hawk is book eight in the Gold Coast Retrievers series. Each book stands completely on its own, but you'll have more fun if you listen to them all together!

More Than Skin Deep

Healing Hawk by Becky Muth pulled me in immediately. I love the Gold Coast Retriever Series and found the characters in this book to be just as compelling. Hawk was initially introduced to me in a previous book, and I hadn't liked her then. This book she was totally redeemed. I love it when an author takes a character and molds them into a better person. I really enjoyed the direction this book took with the firefighter calendar and therapy pets. This book is a great story full of endearing characters and is a clean listen.

Golden Retriever to the Rescue

When a firefighter is severely burned in an arson fire, she sinks into a deep depression and doesn't have much hope for the future until the love of an adorable misfit puppy, and a good man, gives her new hope.
This is a typical romance/suspense story from the Gold Coast Retrievers series.
The romance is sweet and wholesome, the villain commits an unforgivable crime for totally despicable reasons and then, of course, there are the Goldens.
What's not to love?

A nice read

romantic, suspense, friendship, law-enforcement, firefighters, dogs, arson

How could I go wrong? Lady firefighter, small town cop, wonderful dogs, lessons learned, and all wrapped up in a lovely HEA worthy of Guideposts magazine! As the only female in the department and a history as a former model, it seems that nobody takes her seriously until she risks it all to save a distraught homeowner's beloved while off duty and without turnout gear. It all comes together despite other arson attempts yet it ends well. Loved it!
Jennifer Gilmour is the skilled voice artist who makes a good book even better.

Great Read

Healing Hawk (Gold Coast Retrievers #8) was a great read by Becky Muth. Nicole “Hawk” has always known that everyone just thinks she’s a pretty face with no substance. She decides to become a firefighter to prove everyone wrong. Not long into her new job, a fire nearly takes her life. It does scar and disfigure her face. They know that it wasn’t an accident but they don’t know who it was. Arnold “Snowball” is a detective who has loved Nicole since he met her. I loved reading Hawk and Snowball’s journey and can’t wait to read more by Becky Muth.

Burns

I normally do not listen to romance books but this book was not excessive and enjoyed the characters especially Snowball and Hawk. This was my 1st listen by author and thought it was a good short dealing with burns and fires and the investigation. Think “Baby” would rather have Hawk as her owner. Fun easy listen.
