Summary

DRACO
I dreamt of her purple hair
And the pain on her face when I failed her。
One night was all we had,
Then they stole her from me。
When I woke up, all her color was gone。
A lot can happen in a year。
She saved herself the day I almost died。
Now her kidnappers aren't the only evil in town。
We're going to find answers。 Together。
Even though she's keeping secrets from me。
I want all of her。 Everything。
But she can't even look me in the eye
Before she breaks my heart。

NORA
His quiet soul sees right through me
Even the pain I hide behind my smile。
I only knew him for one night,
Then he sacrificed himself for me。
Now he's awake and won't let me hide。
A lot has happened this past year。
I lost myself the day I thought he died。
Now there's much more at stake。
I've lived my life behind a mirror
Playing the character others want to see。
He wants all of me。 Everything。
But what will be left of me
After he breaks my heart?

I have been waiting for Draco and Nora's story since book one! The beginning threw me off for a minute but every chapter afterwards deepened the overarching story。 I enjoyed learning more about Nora's past and getting a more in depth understanding of her character。 I have been waiting for Draco and Nora's story since book one!

This book took the cake。 It was so good。 It had good steamy scenes and I love Nora。 The character development was excellent, tear jerking at points but nonetheless excellent。

Kerri Seaman

I’ve become so invested in these and they get better with every book。 This one definitely has more action than the others (not a bad thing) but you still get the full on fluff and smut。

In early 2021, I stumbled upon this new independent author named Greer Rivers on TikTok。 She had one book recently released and another coming out soon。 I love finding new authors and hers was listed as romantic suspense。 Smut with suspense seasoned with military heroes? Count me in。 One-click that shit。The Conviction series consists of interconnected standalones in which each couple gets a HEA。Dearest readers, I was hooked immediately。 Jaybird and Jules drew me in。 Then Devil surprised me with In early 2021, I stumbled upon this new independent author named Greer Rivers on TikTok。 She had one book recently released and another coming out soon。 I love finding new authors and hers was listed as romantic suspense。 Smut with suspense seasoned with military heroes? Count me in。 One-click that shit。The Conviction series consists of interconnected standalones in which each couple gets a HEA。Dearest readers, I was hooked immediately。 Jaybird and Jules drew me in。 Then Devil surprised me with how not-creepy his obsession with Ellie was。 And then Snake went and helped Naomi escape her abusive fiance while quickly developing a sweet parental relationship with her daughter Thea。 Meanwhile, Nora is helping everyone out, but staying firmly on the sidelines。 It’s obvious (to me, anyway) that she’s dealing with some pretty severe PTSD, but is just pushing on through because that’s what she does。But all the way back in the first book, Nora and Draco dealt with their own traumatic experience together, and ever since, I’ve been waiting to see how all of that would get resolved。 Without further ado, here’s Healing Conviction from Greer Rivers。 The PlotPicking up about 2 months after the concluding events of Breaking Conviction (Snake and Naomi), Draco is recovering from the injuries he sustained during the first book。 (For those trying to figure out the full timeline, this would mean that all four books take place within about a 15-16 month period of time – books 2 and 3 have overlapping timelines。)The human trafficking ring in the county is not slowing down, and instead they’re just looking for new ways to get around the tightening scrutiny。 In usual suspense/Greer Rivers form, you have chapters from the villain’s perspective – and I have to say, this villain is the least infuriating of all of them thus far。 I actually felt bad for her。It’s a “simple” recon mission that sets up the main action for Draco and Nora。 Top Bun: Draco, Draco, DracoI have been waiting for Draco since book one。 Rivers does a great job setting him up as a mysterious character, providing enough tidbits to make you curious, but never so little that you forget about him。 The man has been in a coma for a literal year。 Two entire books went down while he was unconscious and I still wanted to know how he got his HEA。As we’d expect, Draco comes with his own set of baggage, and a massive carry-on full of guilt for his role in Nora’s trauma from book one。 He’s clearly in love with Nora way before anything happens between them – he may not *know* he’s in love with her, but he totally is。 The thing is, Nora is struggling with so much PTSD, and not just from the events in book one (although she’s also got a carry-on stuffed to the brim with guilt)。 She has a whole host of childhood trauma and she’s terrified of ever getting too close to someone。 But Draco… oh, Draco。 He is so patient with her。 Draco knows her。 He knows that if he pushes her too hard, she’ll bolt, but he knows that she needs to be pushed sometimes。 He knows what all her facial expressions mean and he can tell which smiles are fake。 He also knows she’s fiercely independent and needs to be able to do her own thing or she’ll feel suffocated。Just as fiercely independent as Nora is, Draco is as fiercely protective of her and it’s just awesome to watch。 Fave Draco quote: “If you don’t trust me with everything, then how am I gonna know that you forgive me for getting kidnapped? For failing you so miserably before? How am I supposed to forgive myself if I don’t know you can?”Bonus Fave: “You’re sexy when you commit crimes。” The Meat: Feeling Empathy for the VillainThis is something we’ve talked about on the podcast – if we really hate a character, we’re inclined to make that our con, or the meat of our sandwich。 But then we really think about it and we realize that… if we hate the character so much, it’s because they’re well-written。 And then we feel conflicted。So this time, the meat of my sandwich is actually that Greer Rivers managed to make me feel empathy for Gail。 (Not Stefan though。)In the first book, I did feel a bit of empathy for the villain because he was trying to help the good guys in his own way (and by that I mean, in a way that won’t get him caught)。 Did I think he was a coward? Yes。 But I did feel a little bad for him because he didn’t realize what he was getting into and then he didn’t know how to get out of it。In the second book, I didn’t feel empathy for the villain because I already knew he was a shithead from book one and I didn’t care that his backstory had some sadness in it。In the third book, I felt no empathy whatsoever for that abusive asshole。 I literally cheered outloud when (spoiler!!!) Naomi stabbed him in the neck with that gorgeous green high heel。 But Gail? Damn。 I do feel bad for her。 And she helped Draco and Nora。 I felt bad for the VILLAIN。 Someone who was trafficking women! How dare you, Greer?! Bottom Bun: Watching Nora Come Back to LifeThe first thing Draco says to Nora when he wakes up is “Your hair’s different。” Before Draco lost a year of his life to a coma, the Nora he knew was vibrant, complete with brightly dyed hair and colored contacts。 When he woke up, she was shades of black and grey。 Still her same gorgeous self, but the light in her was gone。 We saw it ourselves as readers。 In the second book, her hair was black and she was generally charming and upbeat, but we saw some chinks in the armor during book three when she’s talking to Naomi。I’ve said it on the podcast and I’m sure I’ll say it a hundred more times: I love a good character arc。 Not all novels in the romance genre (or subgenre) feature a heroine with lessons to learn or a growth arc, but in my opinion all the best ones do。Learning more about Nora’s backstory and the hurdles she needs to jump over in order to accept the fact that she’s in love with Draco is a pure delight to me。 It’s one of my very favorite things to read a story about a woman with trauma who overcomes it and allows herself to love a worthy man。I don’t– I don’t relate to it at all。 That has nothing at all to do with it。 And also the way she and Draco work together on their mission is just… awesome。 Forced proximity is never a bad trope in my book (zing!) and I loved their honest discussions when Draco finally started pushing instead of being patient。 Fave Nora quote (from her internal monologue): “Obviously I like you, you sexy, grumpy Viking we dream。 I wish I could ride your longship to Valhalla and back again but I know my heart won’t survive the trip。”Bonus Fave (also from internal monologue): “Brain, you are screwing things up。 Chill out。 Eat our waffle。” (Also I wanted waffles so bad while reading this book。 I should really have put this under the meat because I hate cleaning the waffle iron, so I never actually make waffles。 Might be getting carryout this weekend。) Ratings: Eggplants: 🍆🍆🍆。5 Hearts: 💜💜💜 Would I Recommend This Book? Yes。 Unabashedly。 Of course。 I always recommend this series is read in order though。 Start at the beginning and go from there。 While the HEAs are all standalones, the underlying narrative is continuous throughout the series。 I think you’d be lost otherwise。 And of course, check your trigger warnings。 Greer is great about listing them at the beginning。 。。。more

i’m so sorry but why did the MC talk like a 2012 tumblr post the whole book? i could not take it 😭

Love every book by Greer。 When I started reading the conviction series I thought it was just going to be an easy casual read。。。I was wrong。 Once I started I could not put it down and read until I finished it, it was amazing and book 4 is no exception。 Pulls at your heart and doesn't let go until the end。 Love every book by Greer。 When I started reading the conviction series I thought it was just going to be an easy casual read。。。I was wrong。 Once I started I could not put it down and read until I finished it, it was amazing and book 4 is no exception。 Pulls at your heart and doesn't let go until the end。 。。。more

I have been waiting for Draco and Nora's story since book one。 The chemistry between these two came off the page in the first few interactions and I was excited to see where Greer Rivers would take us!I was not at all disappointed。 Ugh! I loved these two so stinking much! I love that we are able to see Nora in her brokeness。 In all the other books, she is the sunshine character who adapts herself to whoever is around her。 It's a shield she uses so no one will see how damaged she is。 Drake is one I have been waiting for Draco and Nora's story since book one。 The chemistry between these two came off the page in the first few interactions and I was excited to see where Greer Rivers would take us!I was not at all disappointed。 Ugh!

He has his moments of grouchiness but it is usually mixed with amusement, especially when he and Nora banter and bait each other。 He doesn't pull any punches when it comes to his feelings with Nora and the steamy scenes are absolute fire! This is a stand alone but I highly suggest you read the other books in the series first to get the full effect of their dynamic。 Nora has been waiting a long time for Drake to wake up and her guilt and love for him crosses all the other storylines。 I absolutely can't wait for the next book in the series! 。。。more

I have to say that I was able once I received this book I was able to read it from the very beginning to the very end and I thought it was a great book and the story line was so well done and it made me love it more and the character built up was so good it made the story so much better。 I received this book for free thru an Advanced Review Copy, ARC, with an honest review freely given。

GoodAs with all the other books in this series it’s a heavy subject without being exploitive。 This books fills in some more of the pieces without a cliffhanger for the couple。

Leila

I’ve devoured this interconnected series and this one is by far my favourite。 Already counting down the days until the next one。

Inga O

Another awesome book by Greer Rivers, Healing Conviction is the 4th book in the Conviction Series。 I loved this instantaneous connection felt between our FMC Nora and our MMC Draco with this brilliant chemistry that you saw the beginnings of in other books but to finally get this book is YAY! This book really delivered everything I hoped for。 I really loved seeing Nora’s story, her journey and trauma and how Draco helped with all the mental struggles。

Jeana Forant

Another fantastic book by Greer Rivers。 I don’t think I could love these characters anymore than I do! This book will keep you captivated and wanting more。 If you’ve read the other book in the series you know that we’ve all been dying to hear Draco and Nora’s story, it does not disappoint!

Greer Rivers does it again! I can honestly say this was an absolute master piece and proves once again why I love her books!After having woken up from a long year coma, Draco learns that life is too short and makes it his mission to get Nora's heart and make her realize they belong together。 He makes sure to never pressure her into anything, remains the perfect gentleman, but makes sure to dominant her enough so that she won't run the other way。 And makes sure to always be truthful with her even Greer Rivers does it again!

I have been waiting for this book。 Finally。 This is the couple I have been rooting for since the beginning and Greer really delivered。I love that although this couple only very briefly met, their connection was instantaneous and their chemistry was off the charts。 Seeing glimpses of them together during the other books and getting to know Nora, you just kept rooting for them and hoping they would eventually be together。Nora is portrayed as such a happy, strong and sassy woman, and this book show I have been waiting for this book。 Finally。 This is the couple I have been rooting for since the beginning and Greer really delivered。I love that although this couple only very briefly met, their connection was instantaneous and their chemistry was off the charts。 Seeing glimpses of them together during the other books and getting to know Nora, you just kept rooting for them and hoping they would eventually be together。Nora is portrayed as such a happy, strong and sassy woman, and this book showed that there was much more that she was hiding behind her tough exterior。 Her and Draco just work together perfectly and I’m so happy that they were finally able to be together。I think this might be my favorite book in the series just because of the anticipation of wanting to see the story of these two。 Although this can be read as a standalone for the couple, the books should be read in order to understand the overarching plot。 However, I found that the plot and mystery were explained fairly well within this book。 。。。more

ARC REVIEW Greer Rivers is amazing and always brings it。 Nora and Draco 🤌❤️❤️ love them so much。 The way they are with each other…… awesome。 With Draco being his possessive self and so protective of Nora。 And the way he fought and showed her she was worth it!!! Nora is a sassy woman and I love her bad ass attitude。 Lots of action and suspense and then getting their HEA!!! So proud to be on this arc team!!

Finally! Nora and Draco!

I was swooning every page。 Also, as someone who appreciates emotional connection before a physical one…I was devouring every interaction with this couple。 Their emotional connection and healing just added to an intense layer of sexy。 I am obsessed with this book, as I am with the previous three and I cannot wait to read the next one!
