I was completely captivated by Come Back to Me by Jody Hedlund, the first time travel novel I've ever read! I don't usually like fantasy or scifi themes in novels, movies, or TV so it was a wonderful surprise to enjoy this so much.

The premise: Holy water connected to the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden is believed to contain miraculous healing properties. While researching a cure for his daughter Ellen's genetic disease, Marian Creighton's father suddenly slips into a coma. Marian investigates her father's medical condition and discovers foul play may be involved. After she samples the holy water, she has experiences in medieval England involving a brave and handsome knight that seem far too real to be dreams, but it's not possible to travel to another time, right?

As a Christian fiction novel, this is genre-busting for featuring a time crossing plot. It's also unique since it includes some steamy scenes filled with romantic longing within the context of a marriage of convenience. I was happy the novel ended the way I hoped it would and am excited book 2 in the Waters of Time series will be published in January 2022!

Thank you to Revell Publishing for the review copy; all thoughts are my own.
