*In an effort to spread the word about my favorite type of book – inspirational romance – I’m doing Christian Fiction Fridays here on my blog where I share my recommendations for books in this genre.
To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer
What It’s About:
Having completed 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. But small towns leave little room for secrets…
Eden Spencer has sworn off men, choosing instead to devote her time to the lending library she runs. When a mountain-sized stranger walks through her door and asks to borrow a book, she steels herself against the attraction he provokes. His halting speech and hesitant manner leave her doubting his intelligence. Yet as the mysteries of the town’s new blacksmith unfold, Eden discovers hidden depths in him that tempt her heart.
Levi’s renewed commitment to his faith leads Eden to believe she’s finally found a man of honor and integrity, a man worthy of her love. But when the truth about his prodigal past comes to light, can this tarnished hero find a way to win back the librarian’s affections?
My Thoughts:
This is definitely my favorite of Karen Witemeyer’s books, which is saying a lot, because I liked her other two as well. I loved the unique characters – a blacksmith with a speech impediment and a spinster librarian. Both of their pasts come back to haunt them, which provides great conflict. I loved the ending – or rather the clever climatic scene near the ending. The writing is fluid and lovely, and the faith elements are naturally woven in.

Okay, it's killing me that I haven't read a Karen Witemeyer book yet! But I know I've got at least one on my Kindle…and I just finished my latest read last night. Sooo I'm definitely reading one of hers next!
I've only read Tailor Made Bride but I loved it! Looks like I'm downloading a new book!
The speech impediment must make for unique twist for a character and a man especially. Love it. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I'm hearing so much about this book! It's definitely on my to-read list. Thanks for the review!
I've heard a lot about this book too.
Thanks for sharing the review.
Oh man, I wish I wrote inspirational romance! I don't think I could pull it off if I tried though. It sounds so…inspirational! 🙂 Thanks for the review.
What a great meme for you to do! I love it! And I love your new profile pic too!
I downloaded Tailor Made Bride on my Kindle and read it in a couple of days, then I downloaded Head in the Clouds and zipped through it. The following week I read To Win Her Heart and finished that one in a hurry, too! I love Karen's books. The characters are fresh and unique and the stories are fun to read.
Sounds like a great review! Dos it have any wormholes?
