First Line Friday: To Win Her Heart


Happy Friday!

Welcome to First Line Friday's hosted by Hoarding Books.

Today's book is:  To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer
 
About the Book:
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?
    
FLF - To Win Her Heart

I added all Karen Witemeyer's books to my TBR list ever since I read 'Heart on the Line' in 2017. I bought this book from my brother's store a couple months ago and finally got it in my hands when we got together at Christmas. I began it as soon as I finished the book I had been reading.


Now it's your turn!

  1. Love her books! On my blog I shared the first line from We Hope for Better Things by Erin Bartels. Here I will share from Secrets at Cedar Cabin by Colleen Coble -- "Bailey Fleming glanced out her patient's window into the parking lot, but the swirling snow obscured all but the dim glow of the streetlamp."

  4. Happy Friday! My first line is from "Until I Met You: Brides of Seattle Prequel" by Kimberly Rose Johnson:

    "Early Saturday morning, Brandi Prescott held her latte in one hand and opened the door to leave her favorite coffee shop in the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle."

  5. To Win Her Heart is one of my favorites from Karen Witemeyer! I’m sharing the first line of the ‘First January’ diary entry from D.E. Stevenson’s Mrs. Tim of the Regiment on my blog today. So here I’ll share the beginning of the ‘Tenth January’ entry:

    “Meet Nora Watt on my way home from church. She has been lying in wait for me. We agree that the sermon was slightly dull, but that the singing has improved. I see Grace hovering about but there is no escape from Nora.”

    Happy Friday!

  6. Happy New Year!

    My first lines come from a book I'm reading now, The Marriage Bargain by Stephanie Dees....

    Cameron Quinn looked around the tiny town of Red Hill Springs. Big pots of pansies, twinkle lights in the trees lining the streets......apparently the basketball team at the local high school was doing well this year--the storefronts were full of team spirit. It had charm, he guessed, if you were a person who liked that down-home kind of stuff.

    He wasn't.

    Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!😊💕

  7. Happy Friday!

    Today, on my blog, I'm sharing the first line from Chasing Someday by Crystal Walton. I'm currently on chapter 24, so I will leave the first line from there.

    "Chase sat back in one of the wicker chairs Mom insisted he own, cradled his guitar in his lap, and watched the fireflies hail the end of a long day."

    It's such a good book. I'm loving it. 😀

    Hope you have a great weekend filled with relaxing reading time. 😀❤📚

  8. I haven't read many of Karen's books, but I've enjoyed the ones I have. I should read this one!

    I'm featuring a non-fiction book on my blog this week--A Light So Lovely (about Madeleine L'Engle)--but I'm also about to dive into Stratagem by Robin Caroll, so here's the first line:

    "According to your estimation, she has eight minutes to figure out she can't open the door unless her employee uses the key he got in the last room."

    Have a great weekend!
