RECOMMENDED: Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas is $1.99! This is a Kindle Daily Del. Elyse gave it a B- in a Lightning Review, saying it was good but not Kleypas-good:

HaBO: The Earth Envelopes Her to Heal Her
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!
