WITEMEYER, KAREN
TO WIN HER HEART

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 Levi 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 unfolds, Eden discovers hidden depths in him that tempt her heart.

Eden believes she's finally found a man of honour 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 Review:

Can you use pusillanimous in a sentence? Witemyer can and did it most effectively (even if I had to stop reading long enough to check a dictionary!) To Win His Heart is full of surprises -- from word choice to clever dialogue, cunning plot twists to gripping drama -- it's definitely a book that will win your heart!

It also contains one of the most moving redemption stories I've ever read. There's an incredible scene that sent goosebumps shooting out all over my body. Witemeyer grasps the delicate balance of combining gospel truths with fiction and has come up with a stunning success.

Add in some stellar romance that will curl more than just your toes and you have a CBA winner! The growing awareness  that blossoms from a tenuous friendship -- sigh, be still my heart! The way Witemeyer writes Levi and Eden's love story is both compelling and page-turning. In fact I got to a point in the book where I just couldn't put it down. Missed 5 bus stops before I looked up and realized my house was back thataway! And then, when I got off six stops too late, I meandered slowly towards home, open book in hand. Had a near collision with a lamp post and an ornery tree root, but I just couldn't stop reading!

Now that it's over I'm both immensely satisfied and somewhat bereaved. This is one that I will gladly read again.
