To Win Her Heart

So you may have noticed I haven't posted in quite some time...I've been a bit distracted with life lately.  But autumn is fast-approaching, and I always feel a bit better when the rest of the world seems to return to a normal schedule.

I finished To Win Her Heart a long time ago, but then I lent it to a friend before I wrote the review.  Levi Grant, after serving a sentence for the unintentional crime he committed in his youth looks to begin again in the small town of Spencer, Texas.  The town needs a blacksmith, and Levi needs a place where no one knows his past.  Eden Spencer is the town's all-but-confirmed spinster; she chooses instead to devote her time to the library she runs in the town her father founded.  When the larger-than-life new blacksmith arrives, Eden begins to reconsider her decision in swearing off all men.  But as the truth about Levi's past is slowly revealed, he must find a way to win back the librarian's affections.

This is a super sweet story that will keep you engaged for beginning to end.  I'd never read anything by Karen Witemeyer, and it's definitely not a new style by any means.  But the book provides a nice escape from the pressures of today's world and beckons you back to a seemingly simpler time.  With just the right amount of snarky villanous characters, you'll be rooting for the hero the whole time.
