My Heart Will Find You by Jude Deveraux is a fun time-travel romance. Etta Wilmott is traveling to visit her sister. She is in a layover in Kansas City when travel is halted at the beginning of the pandemic. Etta is looking for a place to stay when she encounters Henry Logan. Henry welcomes Etta into his home. Henry is elderly and can use a companion. Etta needs a place to stay, and she is an excellent cook. The two get along famously. Etta soon finds herself having vivid dreams of being a mail order bride for rancher Maxwell Lawton in Garrett, Kansas in the 1870s. Those she meets in the present day, Etta encounters in the past. Henry is a writer who weaves Etta's dreams into his latest tale. I loved the characters Jude Deveraux created for this story. I enjoyed getting to know Etta and Henry. The characters are developed. It is a little challenging in the beginning to keep them all straight. It did not take long to get them sorted out. I can tell the author did her research for her story. She captured the Old West (even the smell). I enjoyed both storylines and I like how the present day and the past tied together. I do feel that the story needed an epilogue because the ending felt incomplete. I enjoyed the story, but I did not feel it was on par with my favorite time travel book by this author (A Knight in Shining Armor). My Heart Will Find You is an entertaining time travel tale with a stranded traveler, a wily writer, vivid dreams, a bruised body, a rich rancher, enthusiastic matchmaking, and a lost love.
