Blurb: When the other shoe drops, she’ll steal his heart…

Maddie Kingston just walked away from everything in order to take over her family’s struggling shoe business. And she’s in some serious trouble. The majority of the company’s shares have been bought out by none other than Maddie’s ex-boyfriend, self-made billionaire Nick Holter. Now Maddie needs his help…even if it means buying Nick from a charity bachelor auction.

After the Kingstons destroyed his grandfather’s career, Nick vowed to take over their company. He’s inches from victory when he finds himself bought and paid for…by his sexy ex-girlfriend who’s hell-bent on saving her family’s company. Between their families’ feud and their own unfinished business, tempers—and emotions—run hot.Too hot.

Because kissing with the enemy is a guaranteed shoe-in for trouble…

My Review

One of my favorite types of books are second chance romances. In Heart and Sole, Liasson definitely delivers with this heartfelt romance between a shoe queen  taking over her family's business and a business tycoon who has bought her family's company. Not only that, he's her ex and their families have had a family feud to rival Romeo and Juliet's families for as long as the Holter and Kingston families can remember. 

As Maddie buys Nick at a bachelor auction and insists on bringing him home to their hometown, can Maddie make Nick see reason and find it in himself to do the right thing regarding Maddie's family? And where will these two lovers find themselves?

Liasson's book is heartfelt and beautiful. I really enjoyed the concept for this book and I can honestly say it's the first book I've read that involve someone in the shoe business.

As for the characters I really enjoyed Maddie and loved her heart, spirit, and determination. Nick has a good heart and is doing what he believes is right for his family, but sometimes what we feel is right really isn't. 

Heart and Sole has love, lust, second chances, longing and family rivalry. With this mix plus the fact this book has shoes what can be better?

I loved this enjoyable, relaxing read and thought it was the perfect addition to my summer reading.
