Eden Spencer is a librarian who hates violence. As does blacksmith Levi Grant. They have two more things in common as well: their love of God and their love of books. It seems a match made in heaven. But Eden has no idea of Levi’s past. She only knows the changed man he has become. When she learns of his former life, Eden must confront her own hypocrisy.
Karen has an amazing way of weaving deep themes of grace and acceptance, forgiveness and repentance through a lighthearted romance, of making you think while keeping you entertained. As a writer, I greatly admire that skill. It is not easy to accomplish! Her characters seem to live and breathe, their strengths and weaknesses those with which we can all relate. Her cast of secondary characters is just as memorable. And of course I always love the late 19th century Texas setting.
If you are a historical romance fan—or even just a historical novel fan—I encourage you to read this one. It’s characters and its truths will stay with you for years to come.

Thanks for the lovely review, Anne. I'm so glad you enjoyed Levi and Eden's story!
I'm looking forward to meeting your characters, too. Soon!!!
Ooh, this looks good! Thanks for the introduction to an author who's new to me. I'll be looking for this!
Thanks for stopping by, Karen!
I think you'll love it, Susanne! You'd love Head in the Clouds by her as well, for though it is set in Texas, the hero is English! :)
