Provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I'm not a fan of historical romance, but this book is unlike any other I have ever read, The storyline sucked me in right from the start, The past and present are intertwined perfectly, I don't know who I love more Daniel or Gael, This duel genre has everything, angst, sexiness, love and grab a tissue, you'll need it, This is one book you MUST read! Predestined Hearts blew me away, I didn't know Kelly Elliot could write something so different yet
so alike to what I am used to with her books, Of course now I am going to go purchase all of Kristen Mayer's books too because Ms, Elliot wasn't alone on this one, This book contained everything I needed it to have, I am amazed at how quickly I read and fell in love with not only Gale and Ashlin's story but also with Daniel, Sophia, Devlin, and Colett.


Let me tell you a little bit about this book so a tragic thing happens in Ashlin's life so she goes to Savannah and breaks up with her horrible boyfriend who doesn't want to let her go.
That is where she meets Gale and the real story begins, The most incredible thing about this book is that it not only does it include the present but it also has bits and pieces of the past that are shared to us through a journal.


This journal is a piece of history and an emotional love story that soon leads to Gale and Ashlin's love, Throughout the book little glimpses are shown of Daniel and Sophia's love story past/journal entries, It shows all the passion, the heartache, and the loss that they experienced in their lives, Having these glimpses was my favorite part of the book, These are scattered throughout the book and while I was waiting, very impatiently might I add, we see the love developing between Gale and Ashlin, I loved watching their love unfold along with Sophia and Daniel,

Why do I love Gale

Reason: He is an amazing cook, He literally made my mouth water every time I heard what he was gonna make, I mean he cooks for Ashlin! That is beyond amazing, Note to self: find a chef to marry

Reason: He is such a gentleman, so sweet, and kind, The way he treats Ashlin makes me swoon, He finally made her feel like she was enough,

Reason: Gale knows when something is wrong and he is patient with Ashlin, He waits for her and he doesn't push or rush her,

Reason: He reads to Ashlin from the journal, Reads! I love that!

Reason: When things got hard he stood by Ashlin even when he was the one who was being affected, That right there is what makes a relationship,

Why I hate Harris

There is really not much I can say because I want you to fully experience him yourself, Experience all the hate and cruelty one man releases just because it is convenient for him, He is just one of the worst exboyfriends ever, The amount of hate that I feel for him will soon be revealed to you as soon as you read this book,

The ending was amazing for me and I am glad the authors decided to go with it, It was sad but I liked that it led to the happiness of a later generation, As for Gale and Ashlin, I loved how they started their life together, It was nice to see that Ashlin made that promise in the beginning of the book and she went through with it, I really recommend this book because it has history, It showed a lot of family history and their story, I loved to get lost in that part of the book, I felt a true connection to those in the past just like Ashlin did, I am glad I got to experience that, I feel truly honored to have received this ARC, Great read

The story line is amazing, both great authors . story of true love. Wasn't sure at first how I felt about the double story, but the more I read the more I enjoyed and looked forward to it, . . Loved this book! This book was so good! The younger generating falling in love amp reading about the family's love story was really cool! I've not read a historical romance in quite a while so was slightly nervous as to how Predestined Hearts would read.
I've never read a duel genre book either but was intrigued as to how the contemporary and historical aspects would meld together, The result A beautiful and amazing love story, leaving me with a lasting impression,

Ashlin Thomas and Gael Stowe are our hero and heroine from the contemporary storyline and their story is told from alternating POV, Ashlin is in Savannah for her beloved aunt Leelyn's funeral and the pair meet up when she has a meal at Gael's restaurant, As the pair get to know one another they discover that they have a common link, The connection is uncovered after Ashlin begins reading an old journal she's discovered that belongs to her greatgreatgreat grandmother Sophia,
Sophia and Daniel are our historical couple, although there is far more to their story than we originally lead to believe, adding both sadness and intrigue.


I really don't want to spoil the enjoyment of this unique book by revealing more details about what happens, Both the nineteenth century and contemporary plots weave together seamlessly making the story flow effortlessly, creating a refreshing and heartwarming page turner, Each genre will have you crying tears for joy and sorrow, with heavy doses of angst, love and steamy scenes, Both nicely tied together with hope and everlasting love,

Both authors have done a fabulous job crafting something very special, exciting but more importantly memorable,

I won't lie this concept made me a little nervous at first because I'm not really a big historical fan but Kelly and Kristin totally nailed this book!!!

While going through her aunt's things, Ashlin comes across the journal of her greatgreatgreat grandmother, It is in this journal that we learn the love story of Daniel and Sophia, We learn that Sophia's mother is much like Harris and wants to marry her daughter off for money and status, not love, When Sophia and Daniel meet it is the type of connection Ashlin has always dreamed of,
