Make You Feel My Love by Robin Lee Hatcher Review

Happy Friday Friends :)

 I pray you've all had a great week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend.

Are you planning on doing anything special for Father's Day?

My husband and I will be joining my mom and stepdad and possibly a couple of other family members for a trip to a farm that we all really enjoy. They feature a goat walk, petting zoo, delicious restaurant and bakery, and many other fun things. We haven't been here since last fall, so we're all really looking forward to getting to spend the day together there.

Today, I'm looking forward to sharing with you all my review of Robin Lee Hatcher's upcoming book release. Her 2020 release (How Sweet it Is my review here) ended up being one of my favorite books of the entire year, so I couldn't wait to dive into this one.

Keep reading to see what I ended up thinking about it.

Make You Feel My Love by Robin Lee Hatcher:


Source: Publisher via NetGalley

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Publication Date: July 13th, 2021

Genre: Christian Fiction/Contemporary Romance


Synopsis:


A century apart, two women start new lives—and two unlikely love stories prove powerful enough to conquer fear.


In 1895, Cora Anderson jumps on a cross-country train to escape New York society and her domineering father. She leaves with only some spare clothing, jewelry that once belonged to her grandmother, her cherished violin, and hopes for an uncertain future. The tiny town of Chickadee Creek is idyllic and welcoming, but it’s only a matter of time before Cora’s new friends discover the secrets of her past.

More than a hundred years later, Chelsea Spencer is fleeing a dangerous situation of her own when her great aunt’s antique shop in Chickadee Creek becomes the perfect haven. At the same time, up-and-coming Hollywood star Liam Chandler has returned to the town of his ancestors to grieve some painful family losses and ponder the direction of his career.

When Chelsea discovers a beautiful violin among her aunt’s antiques, she begins to wonder about its origins. In this heartwarming Idaho town, one precious instrument will connect Liam and Chelsea to each other and to loves long forgotten. There, the captivating history tells them the stories of how to walk by faith and live in God’s perfect freedom.

My Review:

Robin Lee Hatcher has become one of my all time favorite authors, and I especially adore her books where dual timelines play a part. Make You Feel My Love is the book that the Christian publishing world has been desperately in need of, and I'm not sure words can even express how much I adored this particular title.

One of my favorite things about this author's books is the fact that faith is always at the front and center. This beautiful story focuses around two strong female protagonists, one in the present day and one in the 1890's, who are trying to put the traumatic abuse of their past behind them. When Chelsea in the present day encounters a beautiful antique violin in her great aunt's store, it sparks a journey to discover the history of the previous owner (Cora), and the way it ties into Cora's relative Liam in the present day.

As Cora and Preston grow closer in the past, and Liam and Chelsea begin to develop feelings in the present, the reader gets a first hand view of the healing that comes along in the process and how both couples are determined to let go and let God no matter the circumstances. I loved the way that faith in Jesus is represented as not an absence of problems, but rather the guarantee that you will get through it with Him standing by your side. Rarely have I seen the faith element be so seamlessly and authentically inserted into a story, and it speaks volumes of the talent of this author. 

Make You Feel My Love is a breathtakingly beautiful story that highlights faith, family, friendship and love, and is truly Robin Lee Hatcher at her best. This is definitely one of the best books I've read this year, and I can't possibly recommend it enough. 

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much to Thomas Nelson for allowing me to advance read and review this!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not required to give a positive review. 

Have a great rest of your weekend guys :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

  Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

  Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...
