Review: To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer


Book Description:
Do They Have a Fighting Chance at Love?


After completing his sentence for the unintentional crime that derailed his youthful plans for fame and fortune, Levi Grant looks to start over in the town of Spencer, Texas. Spencer needs a blacksmith, a trade he learned at his father's knee, and he needs a place where no one knows his past.

Eden Spencer has sworn off men, choosing instead to devote her time to the lending library she runs in the town her father founded. When a mountain-sized stranger walks through her door and asks to borrow a book, she's reluctant to trust him. Yet as the mysteries of the town's new blacksmith unfold, Eden discovers hidden depths in him that tempt her heart.

Eden believes she's finally found a man of honor and integrity. But when the truth about Levi's prodigal past comes to light, can this tarnished hero find a way to win back the librarian's affections?

My Thoughts:
Karen Witmeyer captured my heart in the her debut book Tailor-Made Bride. Its a wonderful, light, witty, entertaining read. I highly recommending it.

So it was with high expectations that I picked out this book. The cover is pretty clever too. And while I enjoyed this book, it didn't humor me like the first one did. I actually found myself skipping parts of it. There were other parts that were totally endearing, but nah...it wasn't the page-turner that Tailor-Made Bride was. I would still recommend this book who anyone who enjoys this genre. Karen Witemeyer is a delightful new author sure to impress.

It's interesting. I've liked Tailor-Made Bride the least of Karen's three so far. My favorite is Head in the Clouds, but this one was cute.
