Love can heal a crushed heart.Kathleen O’Hagan used to love life. She had plans, dreams, and faith in life; but that was before the accident that took it all away from her in an instant. Now that her beloved brother is dead and she’s confined to a wheelchair, her future is but a dark cloud hovering above her head. How can she ever find the will to move on and keep living without him?That’s when … without him?
That’s when he comes along.
Colin Byrne has been a physiotherapist in Dublin for almost five years, but he’s never bonded with a patient like he is bonding with Kathleen. There’s something about those sad blue eyes that makes him want to help her, to take away the pain that reminds him so much of his own.
That’s when something changes.
The more time they spend together, the stronger their feelings for each other grow. But Kathleen doesn’t want to be anyone’s burden and Colin doesn’t think he’s worthy of love. Finding a way to heal their hearts seems impossible, until an angelic presence comes into their lives to help them fulfill their destiny.
Sometimes love can work miracles. If you believe.

Great book. I loved it.
Kathleen was going to fulfill one of her dreams. She was going to live in New York with her brother Declan. But a traffic accident took it all away. Her dreams, the mobility of her legs and Declan, her best friend, the person who understood her.
At the hospital, she met Colin, the doctor who was going to treat her. He told her about her brother’s death. He, who had suffered a similar loss, wanted to be by her side, to help her smile.
They didn’t expect it, but they both fell in love. He didn’t want to get close to her. She was breaking down the walls of his heart. She thought he couldn’t love her, because she wasn’t a normal person. She tried to push him away. She didn’t think he can love her, that he can endure being with her all his life, without having a normal life. He told her that he wanted her, to wait for her. He didn’t know how to prove it. And she was unable to see it. She needed help from her brother.
I cried a lot.
I loved Colin and Kathleen. He was a nice man, she was a lovely girl. They were perfect for each other.
I loved ‘ghost’ Declan. I would like to know more about ‘human’ Declan.
It was easy to empathize with Kathleen, with her suffering, and also with Colin.
They both fear that their families will reject them. He, because they would think he took advantage of her. And she, for not being enough in the eyes of her grandmother.
I loved that Kathleen and David reconciled. She believed that he hated her, and he believed that she didn’t want to be with him, to spend time together.
Also, I loved that she recognized she wasn’t the only one who suffers. Everyone had lost Declan. Everyone suffered. David had made himself strong, for his parents, for her. He lost his best friend, he was also going to live with him, and he couldn’t cry.
I recommend it.
I received an ARC from the author, and this is my honest review.
Healing Our Hearts #1 – This is my first read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A delightful, heartbreaking, heartwarming story of healing. The heart wrenching sadness that the two main characters faced and their recovery, along with the discovery of love for each other made it difficult to put the book down.
This tearjerker is well written and the storylines and journeys mesmerizing. Ms. Roberts does a wonderful job with her writing style, vivid descriptions and fascinating characters. While sad, there is plenty of joy and blessings making this a well balance feel good story.
I contacted the author to review her books and received this through Booksprout. 5*
