To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer
3.0
GRR! This is the second book I've read by Karen Witemeyer. I absolutely LOVED the first book I read by her [b:Short-Straw Bride|12963146|Short-Straw Bride|Karen Witemeyer|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327254843s/12963146.jpg|18120890] which I devoured in one sitting. So of course I had extremely high expectations for this novel as well.
The book started off great, with introductions of main characters Levi Grant and Eden Spencer. Levi has just gotten out of jail and ends up getting a job in Spencer, where Eden lives and operates the library. Levi gets a job as the town's blacksmith and immediately draws Eden's attention. The story progresses and of course. It's not until Eden finds out that . Thankfully everything works out and we're left with a happy ending.
I felt that the book was a bit slow in the progression of the plot and the development of Eden and Levi's relationship thus having hard time getting through it. I enjoyed the fact that Levi and Eden would pass notes back and forth while checking out and returning books. I also liked the fact that Levi had a lisp and had to pause while talking. It was nice because it made him feel more real and not as perfect as so many of today's main male characters.
I will definitely be reading this book again so that I can get a very decent feel for it. I'd also recommend it to people who enjoy the following:
1. Historical Fiction
2. Christian Romance
