Average rating5
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.

I devoured this book. Three am, totally there. Bedtime reading turned into a nighttime marathon reading for two nights in a row. It is really difficult to get me to approve a five star rating and Hearts of Steel gets it from me. It was a great continuation of [b:Carved in Stone 57042909 Carved in Stone (The Blackstone Legacy, #1) Elizabeth Camden https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1614215741l/57042909.SY75.jpg 89260713] that I was fond of and [b:Written on the Wind 59355501 Written on the Wind (The Blackstone Legacy, #2) Elizabeth Camden https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1642984950l/59355501.SY75.jpg 93260049] that carried me away. The entire trilogy was filled with long hours of my not being able to put it down as I had to turn that next page. I've already convinced two local libraries to add the book to their collection as I started with a Netgalley eARC and finished with a Libby library loan. I ended up buying the first two in the series before I finished reading them, and this one is obviously on my to buy list. This book is completely worth it, the entire series is a story that I wish I could continue in the lives of these characters.My life and perspective has changed in the last few years due to observation and experience. I really feel so much more connected to understanding these characters and caring about history and people's ability to learn from it all than I think I would have before now. This is a book, a trilogy, full of strong capable women who stand on their own two feet and the men they find to stand near and with them. Worth every minute.
