“Cross My Heart” by Robin Lee Hatcher *review & giveaway*

MY REVIEW:
The story alternates between WWII time to present day with the changes to the Henning Farm and society. In current day, Ben inherits the Henning family farm that has been in his family for generations and wants to turn it into a rescue horse farm/rehab center for people struggling with addictions. He meets Ashley, who also loves and works with rescue horses, to pitch his idea about the farm and that he feels God is leading him to do that kind of work.

Both characters have their personal struggles and similarity of struggles as they try to build a future without letting the past define them. I liked reading about the progress of the Horse Farm and Ben’s goals and determination to make it work so he could help others.

“Cross my heart” is book 2 in the “Legacy of Faith” series and covers hard topics like abuse and addiction. Clean Christian romance. I enjoyed reading this story which can be read as a stand alone book.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Series: Legacy of Faith #2
Author:
Robin Lee Hatcher
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date:
June 25, 2019
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Split Timeline

Can two broken paths lead toward God’s redemption?

When Ashley Showalter and Ben Henning meet on Ashley’s horse rescue farm, they quickly discover how much they have in common. Both were raised by single moms. Both want to help where they see a need. And both work with horses in the Boise valley. Ben needs Ashley’s help and expertise after starting an equine therapy barn on his great-great-grandfather’s farm—and the more time they spend together, both Ashley and Ben have the feeling that there could be something more between them.

They also carry the burden of past experiences that may drive them apart if the truth is ever revealed. Ben is a recovering alcoholic with five years of sobriety behind him, while Ashley’s brother is an opioid addict residing in court-ordered rehab. Holding fast to the belief that addicts can never be cured, Ashley has promised herself she will never walk knowingly into the chaos created by addiction. Ben knows that with God, all things are possible—but will Ashley find it within herself to give love a chance? Or will her brother’s mistakes and the pain of her past jeopardize her future with Ben?

Cross My Heart threads together a contemporary love story with the heartwarming tale of Ben’s great-great-grandfather, Andrew Henning—reminding us that God’s Word is timeless and that His promises are new every morning.
