Book review + GIVEAWAY! To Win Her Heart

Do you enjoy reading Christian historical romance?  I would like to share with you a wonderful book by relatively new author Karen Witemeyer. I reviewed another of her books, A Tailor-Made Bride, here.    

This book is called To Win Her Heart. Eden Spencer spends her days as the librarian in the town of Spencer, TX.  When a new blacksmith, Levi Grant, comes to town, Eden judges him as not worth her time.  However, he comes to her library to borrow a book and a friendship begins to develop between the two as they discuss various books through exchanged letters.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and did not want it to end!  There were several reasons why I thought it was a great book and would recommend it to you.  First, I enjoyed the characters--the two main characters and their character flaws, as well as some minor characters and the role they play in this story.  Second, I appreciate that this book was not totally predictable.  Too many times I read a book and pretty much have it figured out half-way through.  While there were parts I expected, there was plenty that I didn't suspect as well.  Mainly this came in an ending I did not see coming.  I loved how the author tied up the story.  Finally, the reader can learn several lessons from the characters of this book.  I much prefer reading a book that makes me think about my own weaknesses and where I can see myself in the shoes of a character and apply what they have learned through the book to my personal life.  These characters did that for me.   

If you'd like you can read the first chapter here.

And now for the giveaway!  Leave a comment on this post.  Make sure I have a way to contact you.  One winner will receive a personalized autographed copy of To Win Her Heart.  The giveaway will end on Friday, June 24 and a winner will be announced on Saturday, June 25.   

Have a day of blessings!
