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 fortune for the good of the city. It will require all their wit and ingenuity to navigate the dangerous waters ahead, but their crusade could cost them everything.
My thoughts:I have loved this series so
much and each book gets better as far as I’m concerned which leads me to
confess this is my favorite in the series. I had been waiting for Liam to get
his story and what a story it is and well worth the wait. With a blend of
fictional and actual characters it was easy to get caught up in this fascinating
novel. I had no idea that ice was such a
hot commodity in the 1900’s but businesses found out they were held hostage by
the greed and hatefulness of one petty man who controls the price of ice.
It was heartbreaking to see how
so many people lost their livelihoods when they were forced to close their
business due to their inability to pay the exorbitant price of what was needed
to keep the doors open on restaurants, hotels pharmacies, etc. It was
mindboggling to me as I read the lengths someone would go to out of spite and
greed, it was also heartwarming to see people banding together to do what they
could to help each other.
This is a compelling story penned
by one of my favorite historical fiction authors and one I highly recommend.
I voluntarily reviewed a
complimentary copy of this book.
Opinions are my own.
