"What an amazing story of how love helps you heal, move forward and survive tragedies. Melissa A. Hanson did a great job in creating characters, catching the raw emotions and sharing it through writing to her readers."

"This book was one of those beautiful achy books that make you tingle when you read it. It was such an incredible story of redemption and healing."

"I loved the book and it made cry so much, but also I feel like I needed a history like that to remind that I’m alive and I have a purpose in life. That those things that had been taken away from me, give me the strength to continue and love my life."

"Wow! Now that's a love story! What a wonderful book! I just loved this one. The prologue alone had me in tears! This was very easy to read, it had great characters that were expertly developed, a very sweet heartwarming (sometimes tear jerking) story-line, and was very easy to fall in love with!"

"This is definitely one of my all time favorite YA romance books I've ever read. I normally don't like YA romance books because they are unrealistic. But this had the perfect mix of sweet and drama."

"This book (and bk 1 in this series) were so refreshing. It seems like all NA books I read are way over the top, and while I really enjoy those, this one seemed so realistic."

"... I went into this book expecting a typical meet cute, sweet romance but this was so much more. This book did have the sweet romance going on, but it was also a combination of a mystery thriller that kept the reader guessing until the end. The author did a great job handling the heavy topics in this book and portraying them in a way that empowered Natasha to be able to take back her own life and not be scared of what had happened...." - Jen; Goodreads Review
"You can't help but feel the real emotions in this book. From the first page to the last page, you can't wait to find out what happens next. The strength and support each of these characters portray in their own difficulties is refreshing. Would highly recommend this book to any reader." - Michelle; Goodreads Review
"A Healing Touch could not have been an easy book to write so I give huge kudos to Melissa A. Hanson for tackling it with such grace!..." Lesley; Goodreads Review
"This book! Just from the dedication I was hooked, this was definitely a page turner for me. The way Ms. Hanson was able to make me feel all of Natasha’s feelings was amazing...." - Susie Rocha; Goodreads Review
"...I’ve been in a reading slump lately. I definitely thank this author for pulling me out of it. I knew it was going to be sensitive subject matter, but I really appreciate how she handled it. It was realistic, and yet very respectable. I found my heart beating with anticipation and fear in some of the scenes, along with the main character, Natasha‘s...." - Marci_Lynn; Goodreads Review
