I quite enjoyed Liam’s story!
Readers finally get to know the missing/discovered Blackstone heir in Hearts of Steel.
Liam’s attempts at trying to become a better man – like his father Teddy Blackstone – continually fail throughout this story. His struggles are relatable, though his temper gets the better of him and causes more problems than he needs.
Maggie is independent and fiercely afraid of falling into poverty again. This fear drives every decision and prevents her from finding contentment until the end.
It’s an interesting love story – both needing the other for business pursuits (though this point isn’t acknowledged by either character). Lots of conflict, drama, emotional outbursts, and twisty plots will keep readers engaged in the story until the last page.
The backdrop to the story is the American Ice Trust crisis at the turn of the 20th century. It’s a fascinating story and the author seamlessly weaves these details through the fictional stories – entertaining and educating readers at the same time.
