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 he 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 unfold, Eden discovers hidden depths in him that tempt her heart.
Eden believes she's finally found a man of honor 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?
About the Author: Karen Witemeyer holds a master's degree in psychology from Abilene Christian University and is a member of ACFW, RWA, and the Abilene Writers Guild. She has published fiction in Focus on the Family's children's magazine, and has written several articles for online publications and anthologies. To Win Her Heart is her third novel. Karen lives in Abilene, Texas, with her husband and three children.
My Thoughts: I'd have to say that this is not my favorite book from Witemeyer. I enjoyed her previous two book more than this one. I think it's because I didn't really like the main character. She comes across as cold and unlikeable. I just couldn't warm up to her. Still, if you're looking for some light, fun, summertime reading, this book will fit the bill.
Now for the fine print… I received this product free of charge in exchange for an honest review. No other compensation was provided.

What's Included: The 270-page black-and-white student workbook is consumable (although you are given permission to photocopy for your own family or small group). It's chock-full of interesting worksheets, graphs, tables, crosswords, and projects. You'll also find the lyrics for the songs (CD included with the teacher's manual) and a science vocabulary glossary.
What we thought: I think this is a great program! The student workbook is a real gem! We're doing an astronomy and space study right now so we've been using resources from that section of the book. I LOVE the Solar System Detective pages. Each planet has it's own page with easy to fill in graphs and checklists. It's perfect for our needs and so easy to add to our current studies. I'm looking forward to using the full program when TJ is a bit older (I believe we'll be able to really dig in to the meat of the full program in a few years). For now, we are adding bits and pieces to our current studies and it's working very well.
