You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO comes from Anonymous, who wants to find this romance:
I’m trying to find a fantasy romance book.
There’s a scene where the heroine is close to death, but the hero takes her outside and places her on the ground. The earth like envelops her in vines and heals her.
I know this is super vague but it’s driving me crazy.
This sounds very familiar to me, but I can’t place it! Help!

Is it one of the Innkeeper books by Ilona Andrews?
This might be a scene from one of Sharon Shinn’s Elementals series.
Me again. It would likely be in Unquiet Land.
Hi it’s anon. I don’t think that I’ve ever read the Elementals series. It might be the Innkeeper’s but for some reason I’m thinking it’s something else. I think the hero is crying in the scene, really trying to remember more details.
Two possibilities:
1) In Faith Hunter’s Soulwood series, Nell does some healing this way
2) Could this be one of Christine Feehan Dark books? I vaguely remember the vampires sleep/heal in the ground
This sounds like a Jeffe Kennedy book . . . can’t remember the title though.
The first book of the Innkeeper Chronicles, CLEAN SWEEP, by Ilona Andrews, has a scene when Dina, the FMC, is off her property and over uses her power to the point she’s close to death. The MMC brings her back to the property and her Inn wraps her in vines and roots, taking her to the heart of the Inn, giving her life and strength allowing her to recover.
Could this be a Viola Grace book? There are several where plants/vines help with healing. Though I would classify hers as more ‘Sci-Fi’ than Fantasy romance.
I think Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series has a book in which this happens. The FMC is a witch. Maybe Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night?
Is it “The Waking Land” by Callie Bates? Long time since I read it but I’m pretty sure there’s some kind of scene like that towards the end.
seconding Maria F – sounds like Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night!
There’s a scene at the end of the YA-ish vampire book Crush by Tracy Wolff where the injured heroine is buried. I don’t remember vines, but definitely a healed by the earth moment.
Omg yes it’s the kresley cole one!! Yay thank you 🙂
