His steel empire has catapulted him to
the top of the world but loving her could cost him everything.
Maggie Molinaro survived a hardscrabble childhood in the downtrodden streets of
Manhattan to become a successful businesswoman. After a decade of sacrifice,
she now owns a celebrated ice cream company. But when she offends a corrupt
banker, she unwittingly sets off a series of calamities that threaten to
destroy her life's work.
Liam Blackstone is a charismatic steel magnate committed to overhauling factory
conditions for the steelworkers of America. Standing in his way is the same
villain determined to ruin Maggie. What begins as a practical alliance to
defeat a common enemy soon evolves into a romance between two wounded people determined
to beat the odds.
A spiraling circle of treachery grows increasingly dangerous as Liam and Maggie
risk their lives and fortunes for the good of the city. It will require all
their wit and ingenuity to protect everything--and everyone--they hold dear.
My Thoughts:
Hearts of Steel
by Elizabeth Camden was a satisfying ending to this series. I loved the hero of
Liam. He has been an active character in the whole series. From the first book,
he has been screaming to do the right thing and learn to achieve what his
father, Theodore Blackstone, wanted for his family. He works hard and is not
afraid to stand up for the backbone of America’s workers. In his story, readers
are allowed to see Liam up close and personal. He has a heart of gold, a
temper, and know that money is not what makes people happy. Then enters this
story. Maggie, the heroine. She owns the Molinaro Ice Cream and promises to
never be poor again. She is headstrong, vibrant, and willing to push back. I
enjoyed her spunk and head-strongness. I related with her on a personal level
because I am not afraid to stand up for what is right. I should have been a
lawyer; people tell me all the time. The plot vibrates with the wrongdoing of
one corporate man who is out to ruin everyone who he can. I love how Maggie and
Liam are not afraid of him and strike back against him. The setting jumps off
the pages of the story. Sometimes I was so immersed in Camden’s story that I
forgot I was reading a story. It played perfectly well across my imagination.
Another great book by Camden. I anxiously can’t wait to see what she writes
next. Definitely one of my favorite writers.
I received a complimentary copy of Hearts of
Steel by Elizabeth Camden from Bethany House Publishing, but the opinions
stated are all my own.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Purchase Hearts of Steel
