Barbara Kavovit offers readers a fun, entertaining, and well written novel. Heels of Steel attracted my attention because of the premise; a woman making her way in a male dominated industry. The fact that the story is attached to a romance is definitely a bonus. Heels of Steel has fully dimensional characters, both primary and secondary, which makes the story more enjoyable. I really found myself caring about the heroine's happily ever after. I was interested in the revelations regarding the construction industry that Barbara Kavovit placed into the plot. The dialogue seemed appropriate to characters and situations. I was thoroughly entertained and would read more from this author.
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

Bridget is a great role model! A self-reliant, single mother who won't back down from what she wants in life. I enjoyed this realistic and modern story. The romance wasn't overdone, and I found that a refreshing change.

I liked that Bridget isn't afraid of doing hard stuff. She's a determined strong woman who fights to make a name for herself in a wold dominated by men. Not all her decisions were wise though and it was disappointing how she settles for less than she deserves and puts up with a man who does't respect her and cares for her job. The pacing was too fast and there was too much telling and not enough dialogue. I felt lost some times and found myself going back and checking if I skipped pages. On top of this, all of a sudden the book shifts from one POV to mutiple POVs. Unfortunately, Heels of Steel left me a little disappointed and it wasn't this empowering and inspiring story I hoped would be.

Kavovit has put her deep knowledge of the construction business to good use in this interesting novel about a woman who is determined to succeed. Bridget doesn't take no for an answer, even when it would be the easy way to go. I enjoyed this as a quick read on a summer afternoon. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. This would be a good one for the YA crossover audience- it's got a good message wrapped in a well written story.

Fantastic story, I am looking foward to reading more from Barbara Kavovit. Sometimes you just need something different to shake up your reading routine, and this is definatly it!

This book somehow failed to keep my attention and I couldn't connect to the characters.
The book is well written but unfortunately it's not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to HARLEQUIN - MIRA and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

Sadly I could not get into this book. I wasn't sure what it was about Bridget, but something irked me about her and since I couldn't related to the main character, i couldn't get invested in the story.
There was a lot of telling but not really explaining.

Solid 2 starts for me.

I chose this book from my Netgalley selections because I thought, from the blurb, it was going to be a woman’s fiction tale about a strong women who is trying to smash the glass ceiling. And it was. The character of Bridget Steele is a strong one and although she makes unwise decisions in her personal life, her professional life is a solid one of determination and end goals.

My only problem with the book is that I thought there was an awful lot of “telling” of the story, especially the first 50 pages as we learn about an inciting incident in 10 year old Bridget’s life and how it leads her to her chosen profession.

Other than that, it’s a solid story with fully developed characters.
