Reviewed by Jennifer Webb

Just fourteen months after her very first release, Chalee Tennison is back and is better than ever. The passion and emotion she has while singing is unsurpassed, while her twangy accent seems to accentuate the heartfelt feelings she lets out on this album.

"Yes I Was," written by Chalee Tennison and Rick Carnes, sounds like it could be the story of Chalee's life. She says in the end "Was I wrong, was I right? Yes I Was." I love the beginning music of this song.

A slow song, "Somebody Save Me" is an emotional plea for help. Chalee begs someone to take her hand and make her feel like everything will be okay.

"Makin' Up With You" is the first single and video from this album and was a wonderful choice to release first.

The title cut, "This Woman's Heart" is my favorite slow song on this album. It gives a positive message about love and committment. "This woman's heart beats steady and strong and keeps holding on. I'll give my all to stand by your side for the rest of my life..."

"Break It Even" starts off with an emphasis on drums but then turns to guitars, add the rest of the uptempo music and you have my absolute favorite song from this album. I think this should be her second single because it seems like it would be a good followup to "Makin' Up With You."

"I Aint" is a good country sounding song with a hint of attitude. She says that she ain't one to show restraint and she ain't ever been a saint but then after showing contradictions she makes it clear that she ain't going to be a one night stand either.

A great song to end the album, "Under Your Skin" is nice and slow. She has found the right man and loves him without hesitation. There is so much emotion that it is as though she is singing it to just that man.
