Hugged By An Angel was a highly emotional read for me. Several questions continuously ran through my head while reading this book... What if you had your life planned out and in an instant it changes? What happens if you suddenly you are paralyzed? What would happen if you not only lost who you are but your best friend too?This book was so much more than a great romance, though I fell in love with Colin in this book. This book was about learning to live again, learning to love unconditionally and letting go. This book starts quickly with a major tragedy. Kathleen wakes up in a hospital bed and finds out that her best friend and most loyal brother has been killed. It is a miracle that Kathleen survived the accident but guilt plagues her and she doesn't know how to deal with it.Colin, a physiotherapist, knows what Kathleen is going through. He has been there himself and he dedicates his time to helping Kathleen. He knows he has a special connection with her, but more so, she knows it too. But to what lengths are they willing to go for her recovery? And can spending so much time together be good for doctor and patient? Kathleen and Colin share such a beautiful bond in this story and I was swept away with emotions reading it. But what happens when Kathleen's condition doesn't improve? Can Colin still find it in his heart to want to be with her? Can Kathleen look beyond her own grief and learn to let someone else in?Together these two can fight the battle but with a little help from above they can conquer anything, including their feelings! They both have to learn to live again, one with a new disability and great loss in her heart and the other has to learn how to let love in to his.This was such a beautiful story, not only of amazing characters, but of love and faith and overcoming life's downs. I loved Colin and his desires to not only help Kathleen but I loved reading how he had to overcome his own past to let her into his heart. I was very impressed with how moved I was by this book. It was well written and struck a chord within my heart. I adored it so much!*I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*
