A Home in Your Heart, Book Two of the Love in the Old West series of historical time travel romances set in the 1800s
Harriet (Harry) Ferguson is engaged to be married…unhappily so. All she truly wants is a forever home, something she has never had. On a visit to her fiance’s mother in Southeastern Arizona, she stops by a museum on historic Fort Huachuca, an Army post dating to the late 1800s, … late 1800s, where the wax figure of a handsome Cavalry soldier captures her imagination—so much so that she can’t resist touching the figure.
Lieutenant Daniel Thorn’s duties at Fort Huachuca involve chasing renegade Apaches and Mexican bandits. One night while on a mission to rescue stolen horses, Daniel’s duties are expanded to include the rescue of a young woman who mysteriously falls into his desert campsite. Given that Miss Ferguson does not appear to understand where she is or what has happened to her, Daniel suspects amnesia, and takes her to the fort surgeon.
But Harry doesn’t have amnesia. She remembers fully well where she was when she must have traveled in time. And she remembers Daniel, her wax figure somehow come to life.
Can a modern-day woman like Harry find a forever home in the late 1800s? Can Daniel, a nineteenth-century Cavalry soldier, finally come to believe that Harry has lost not her memory, but her heart? That she has traveled 130 years into the past for him?

Being a sucker for time-travel books, I was looking forward to listening to A Home in Your Heart and was not disappointed. One touch on a wax museum figure and Harriet is back in time 130 years and her adventure begins. Action, suspense, a little humor, and of course, a romance, keep the interest high with this time-travel historical book. I enjoyed the characters and learning tidbits about life at Fort Huachuca in the 1800s. I’m hoping there are more stories to come in the Love in the Old West series from Bess McBride. Narrator Michelle Babb does a great job of bringing the characters to life which made for an enjoyable listening experience.I was given a complementary copy of the audiobook and was not required to write a review. The opinions are my own.
This book is narrated beautifully by Michelle Babb. This is a beautifully written tale involving a little magic and time travel…I was completely intrigued throughout this addictive book. I had no idea this was part of a series & look forward to listening/reading more books from Bess McBride.
This was a great time travel love story! I really liked the time that was chosen to go back to and the way everything was described. The characters were easy to fall in love with and the ending was great.
Harriet is unhappily engaged so much so that she plan on calling off the engagement ASAP. While visiting her soon to be ex-finance`s mother, she escapes to a museum on historic Fort Huachuca. Harriet finds herself drawn to a wax figure of a handsome cavalry soldier. She cannot leave without touching his face. As soon as she touches his face, she finds herself transported to the fort in the late 1800`s. Is she dreaming? If not, can she return to her own time or will she want to?
I enjoyed reading this historical romance. I learned a good bit about this time period in a fun way. This is the second book in the series, but it is not a continuation of the first. This book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. The characters are endearing, you want to root for them to be together. The love story is entertaining and fun.
I listened to the audio version of this book. Narrator Michell Babb does a superb job bringing the characters and story to life. Listening to her allows you to completely get lost in the story.
All thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.
This review is for the audio book.
I enjoyed the first book in the series so thought I would give this book ago. I did enjoy it but I preferred book one. I think that was because it went into more detail about the time traveling and In this book it just happened and she was stuck there with no hope of going back. The characters were also different from the first book so it took me a little while to get into it because I was expect the previous characters to be in it but other than going back in time the stories are very different, even the method. It was fun listening to what it was like back then and the romance that blossomed was sweet. The ending was a bit predictable but it was fun getting there.
Harry (Harriet) has found that she would much rather fantasize about a wax figure than dream about her fiancee. Getting engaged was the biggest mistake of her life that is until she touches the wax figure and is teleported back to the wild west. The handsome man the wax work model was fashioned after Lieutenant Daniel Thorn nearly trips over her when she suddenly appears in his camp. Out in the desert is no place for a lady especially as he and his men are hunting Indians, that stole some horses. They have no choice but to return back to fort so she can seek medical treatment for her amnesia, there is no other explanation for her odd behaviour. Can the pair over come an Indian attack, the promise of marriage and there differences to be together and find a home in each other’s hearts?
Michelle Babb once again weaves her magic to bring the characters to life and creates and entertaining little world that you can get lost in.
