Summary
Their love refused to stay quiet， echoing across time。。。
When the world is brought to a standstill in the early days of a global pandemic， Etta Wilmont finds herself suddenly stranded in Kansas City。 Desperate to secure a roof over her head， Etta crosses paths with Henry Logan， a lonely older man in need of a caretaker。 His invitation for Etta to stay with him seems to be the solution to both their problems--and maybe the spontaneous adventure Etta's life has been missing。
As Etta and Henry settle into a companionable living arrangement， Etta indulges in Henry's library。 The compelling historical accounts of life in the Midwest soon inspire vivid dreams of Kansas City in the 1870s， dreams in which she's a mail-order bride， married to a handsome but guarded rancher named Maxwell Lawton。
Haunted by the story unfolding in her mind， Etta realizes her dreams of the past and the familiar faces featured within are starting to have an impact on the present， altering her current reality。 Perhaps these dreams are Etta's chance to finally claim something for herself after so much time spent caring for others。 More than anything， Etta wonders if the captivating man she's falling for while she sleeps might be real， might be out there--true love waiting to be found and which would change both their lives forever。

I'm one of those people who sobbed at the end of Jude Deveraux's A Knight in Shining Armor but not for the reason you might think。 I was desperately unhappy with that ending。 So why was I eager to read the author's newest time-travel romance？ Because I had faith that she wouldn't let me down twice。 I am happy to say she did not。 My tears at the end of this book were definitely of the happy reader variety。 Did I have to suspend disbelief to accept what happened？ We're talking about traveling thro I'm one of those people who sobbed at the end of Jude Deveraux's A Knight in Shining Armor but not for the reason you might think。 I was desperately unhappy with that ending。 So why was I eager to read the author's newest time-travel romance？ Because I had faith that she wouldn't let me down twice。 I am happy to say she did not。 My tears at the end of this book were definitely of the happy reader variety。 Did I have to suspend disbelief to accept what happened？ We're talking about traveling through time here。 Of course， I did。 But did I care？ Nope， not in the least。It felt weird and a little triggering to read the first couple chapters of this book， set in the beginning stages of the pandemic when the world was shutting down and fear was setting in。 Too soon？ Maybe， but once I got beyond those first chapters the focus shifted to Etta's time in Henry's home in present day and frontier life in the 1870's。 I quickly became immersed in the characters' stories - in both time periods - and while I didn't forget about the pandemic， it moved to the background and wasn't a key factor in my thoughts anymore。Deveraux really brought these characters to life and made me care about them。 Along with those well-developed characters （both primary and secondary）， she also provided a stunningly realistic picture of 1870's Kansas。 I could visualize the surroundings and events of that time as clearly as a movie across my mind。 I was with Etta every step of the way and， boy howdy， did I fall hard for Max。 So many layers this man has。 I was fascinated by the dreaming "time slips" used to transport Etta between time periods and the small changes each time that led Etta and Henry （and me） to wonder if they were really dreams or actual time travel。 It was such a clever method to use。 Each time Etta awoke in present day， I prayed even harder for Max to be real and for a solution to let them be together for a lifetime。 It didn't even matter to me in which time period they lived。 Etta and Max， a rich cast of secondary characters， in both time periods， and more than a few twists kept me glued to the pages of this book and wondering how it would all play out。 Even in the final chapter I still didn't know！ This was the Jude Deveraux writing I fell in love with many years ago along with an ending I could happily wrap my heart around even if I had to suspend disbelief to do so。 I'll be reading this one again。 4。5 StarsARC received from publisher。 Fair and unbiased review。 。。。more

No one writes time travel like Deveraux。 In fact， hers are about the only time travel books I will read。This book is also a dream within a dream based in reality。I love the midwestern setting of Kansas。 I loved all the characters。 I loved how Etta had to “fix” all the people she encountered in her dream to match how they were in real life。It’s a sweet， touching novel about love that transcends time and place， a throwback to classic JD writing。Thanks to HTP and NetGalley for the early read。

I have read several Jude Deveraux’s books but I don’t remember her writing a story anything like this one。 It was an interesting plot， one that took me a bit to get into， but once I was aware of the different characters， I was totally engrossed。 I confess I worried how this story would end and everyone get their HEA， because for most of the book I couldn’t figure out how Max and Etta were going to end up。 This is a time travel story and although I’m not a fan of most time travel books， I really I have read several Jude Deveraux’s books but I don’t remember her writing a story anything like this one。 It was an interesting plot， one that took me a bit to get into， but once I was aware of the different characters， I was totally engrossed。 I confess I worried how this story would end and everyone get their HEA， because for most of the book I couldn’t figure out how Max and Etta were going to end up。 This is a time travel story and although I’m not a fan of most time travel books， I really did enjoy this story。 。。。more

My Heart Will Find You is a time travel novel that begins at the start of the Covid lockdown and travels back to 1871。 The story moves back and forth between the two time periods， and we find the same people with different names， in both times。 It takes a while to start keeping the many characters straight， but it does happen。 Etta and Max are a wonderful couple and I found myself really pulling for their HEA。 A sweet story that kept me engaged till the rather abrupt ending。 4-1/2 starsI receive My Heart Will Find You is a time travel novel that begins at the start of the Covid lockdown and travels back to 1871。 The story moves back and forth between the two time periods， and we find the same people with different names， in both times。 It takes a while to start keeping the many characters straight， but it does happen。 Etta and Max are a wonderful couple and I found myself really pulling for their HEA。 A sweet story that kept me engaged till the rather abrupt ending。 4-1/2 starsI received an ARC for free， but leave my honest opinion voluntarily。 。。。more

What a fabulous book！ The story of Etta going through time to find Max and of her life in 1871 Kansas is great-humorous and lovely。 It is all so weird how it comes about through dreaming and becomes ever more exciting when she dreams of Max and of everyone in Garrett， KS。 People in her real time exist in her dream time and it is up to her to make sure things happen in history along with her and Max becoming in love。I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book。 All thoughts and o What a fabulous book！ The story of Etta going through time to find Max and of her life in 1871 Kansas is great-humorous and lovely。 It is all so weird how it comes about through dreaming and becomes ever more exciting when she dreams of Max and of everyone in Garrett， KS。 People in her real time exist in her dream time and it is up to her to make sure things happen in history along with her and Max becoming in love。I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

For me， time travel stories can either make or break my interest in them。 This story starts with how and where the story begins， and the setting of Covid in Kansas City。 I am not sure how I feel about the Covid Storyline seeping into Contemporary stories。 The story follows Etta Wilmont， who finds herself stranded in Kansas City during the Covid shutdown。 While searching for a safe place to stay， she meets an older man named Henry， who invites her into his home。 Henry offers her a job taking care For me， time travel stories can either make or break my interest in them。 This story starts with how and where the story begins， and the setting of Covid in Kansas City。 I am not sure how I feel about the Covid Storyline seeping into Contemporary stories。 The story follows Etta Wilmont， who finds herself stranded in Kansas City during the Covid shutdown。 While searching for a safe place to stay， she meets an older man named Henry， who invites her into his home。 Henry offers her a job taking care of him and his vast collection of books and artifacts from Kansas's history。 Etta quickly becomes intrigued by Henry's collection and feels at home with him until she can find a way to return home。 One night， while sleeping， Etta finds herself transported to the Old West in Kansas， where she meets a man named Max。 She eventually marries Max and wakes up feeling like she has truly experienced everything she dreamed of。 The story switches back and forth between the present and the past， with Etta sharing her dreams with Henry， who is writing a book and wants as much information as possible。As Etta's relationship with Max in her dreams becomes more real， she begins to search for clues in the present to find him。 Another aspect that I struggled with is how the transition from present to past is made and what the conclusion will be。The story's progression and revelations kept me reading， wondering how it would all come together and if it would work。 The story is ok with me。 The conclusion comes together but I did not love it。 There is something about it maybe it was Max maybe it was the Covid pieces。 I just wanted or needed more from the story。 。。。more

Jude Deveraux's My Heart Will Find You was an entertaining time-travel romance set during the pandemic。 A woman on her way to visit her sister discovers that the county has entered a lockdown from covid upon her arrival。 She cannot go forward to her sister's home or back to her home。 She finds a place to stay and a temporary job with a widowed writer though she learns there is much more at stake when an old shawl transports her to the wild west as a mail-order bride。 As our heroine struggles to Jude Deveraux's My Heart Will Find You was an entertaining time-travel romance set during the pandemic。 A woman on her way to visit her sister discovers that the county has entered a lockdown from covid upon her arrival。 She cannot go forward to her sister's home or back to her home。 She finds a place to stay and a temporary job with a widowed writer though she learns there is much more at stake when an old shawl transports her to the wild west as a mail-order bride。 As our heroine struggles to co-exist in two worlds， she learns that her happy ever after is right at her fingertips if she is brave enough to follow her heart。Fans of Deveraux's time travel romances will enjoy this one。 A likabe cast， a nicely flowing storyline， wit， charm， and of course， a happily ever after though it did end a little abruptly for my taste。 Some may find some strong similarities， character and scene wise in here to Legend and A Knight In Shining Armor。 。。。more

Another fantastic read by Jude Deveraux。 I loved Etta and Max。 This was a time travel story but a little bit different than normal。 Etta traveled back and forth and changed the course of History。 I also loved the secondary characters and Etta’s match making skills。 I highly recommend this book。 It was one that was hard to put down。
