“MELTING STEEL is guaranteed to SLAY your heart, set you all AFLAME, and reignite your PASSION for fairytales and brave knights, and the abiding power of fated love!” Epic Romance ReviewsKeeley I know his type. Stuck up. Arrogant. The kind of guy who hasn’t had to work for a damn thing his entire life. Even his name, Henry Caldwell III, reeks of privilege.And me? Well, let’s just say I come with … entire life. Even his name, Henry Caldwell III, reeks of privilege.
And me? Well, let’s just say I come with more baggage than a 747 and enough bullsh*t to fuel it.
The problem is I want him. Crave him. It’s the kind of pure, all-consuming, panty-soaking lust that can make a girl forget why she swore off men to begin with.
He thinks I need saving. But this isn’t a Cinderella story, and he’s no Prince Charming. At least not mine. I learned long ago that trusting any man with my heart isn’t just dangerous – it can be deadly.
Henry
Emotionally crippled, smart-mouthed, and sexy as sin, the woman is nothing I need and everything I want.
Despite her hard edges, tattoos, and reckless spirit, I know she craves more. More from life, more from love, more from me.
She thinks I’m just a trust fund brat and maybe she’s right. But I’ve got secrets of my own. I know what darkness is. I’ve lived it – faced the pit of hell and barely survived.
The question is, am I strong enough to face it again? Because if I’m ever going to break through the steel wall she’s placed around her heart, it’ll mean facing demons we both thought were long dead and buried.

I loved this book so much!!! From start to finish, I was captivated by the characters and this incredible story. I loved how dominant and protective Henry was towards Keeley. They met as young children and fate brought them back together as adults! He vowed to protect her always when they were little and he continues to do that each and every day, now that they have reconnected. Sigh, everyone needs a protector like Henry in their lives!!! This book brought out all the emotions in me!! Keeley has been through so much in her life, and I’m so glad that Henry swept her off her feet and showed her what true love was. I’m such a huge romantic and this book gave me all the feels! I can’t wait to read more of C.M. Seabrook’s books!!!!
Such an amazing book. Is there more books like this?
Henry and Keeley are a great match! I loved the unpredictable plot twist. Usually the girl is the sensitive and sweet character…Henry was the Alpha with a heart of mush. The love scenes were super HOT! Yowzer! I highly recommend this to all who appreciate the unexpected with an HEA.
When Kayley was 5, she was hiding in the woods, as she watched her mom beg a man for help. Henry, 8, was in the woods playing. He found Kayley crying. He told her he was a knight and would always protect her. He gave her his wooden sword, carved with his initials.
20 years later, he accidentally met Kayley but is she the same person he has been dreaming about? Can he get her to trust him? All he wants to do is take care of her as he promised. He wants to be her knight, fight off dragons and be her hero. this story has greed, a dirty secret, sex, love and learning to trust the one person that wants to help the most.
I enjoyed listening to the story narrated by Katy Oleary.

Nice story. Fairly well edited.
Melting Steel tells the story of Henry and Keeley. They meet briefly as children, but it is a meeting Henry never forgets. He feels a connection to Keeley, and spends 20 years looking for her – even if it isn’t a completely conscious decision. Their lives are intertwined in a very deep way. The unraveling threads throughout the story, but it is fairly easy to see where everything is leading. Henry is steadfast and determined. Keeley is deeply hurt by the abandonment in her life. Henry never gives up and Keeley learns to let go and look to the future.
All in all a quick, nice, feel good read.
would read again
Interesting read. Dramatic in ways I don’t personally enjoy but well written.
Great book
Wonderful!
One day, a little boy named Henry met a scared little girl crying in the woods behind his house. Her mom was fighting with Abby’s dad and it made her run away from them. Since this little boy was a knight who liked slaying dragons and protecting the girls in his life, like his sister Becca and his friend Abby, he decided to protect her, too. He gave her his sword and told her he’d be her champion. He hoped his sword would protect her and keep her safe until he found her again.
20 years later that boy is a man, a really hot, still very protective man, who sees Keeley in a club one night. Something about her draws him in, but she’s got walls of steel, and getting past them is going to be really hard for Henry. She hasn’t had an easy life, and she knows bad boy heartbreakers like him are not good for women like her. But what neither of them know is that they are tied in ways that go back to their childhoods. And they’ve both got secrets, secrets that will make a relationship almost impossible to maintain.
I love Melting Steel, it’s intense and emotional and Henry and Keeley are really good together. It’s a case of insta lust, definitely, but their connection is believable and really sexy. The plot is well thought out, and moves quickly, pushed forward by strong connections between all the characters. I am definitely now a fan of CM Seabrook and look forward to reading more from her.
I really enjoyed this story, I read it in one sitting. Keeley she broke my heart she was such a loving and nurturing character She is one strong woman giving her background and all she went through . Henry was a Knight he was Keeley’s saving Grace, he fit the role of Alpha hero perfectly. As you read you find that all these characters are intertwined even if they didn’t realize it, it was a mind trick with lots of surprises. I do wish I had learned more about Henry, and I wanted more of an update of the other characters.Melting Steel is one of those titles when it finally clicks , it makes perfect sense and works so perfectfully
I like this book very much it was funny and sexy
Great book!! Henry meets Keeley when he is 8 and she is 6. She disappears. He promised to be her protector. When they meet again as adults he gets his chance.
Wow, this was one of those stories that tore my heart to pieces and then glued it back together. Needless to say, I definitely needed my tissue box for this book. I felt so sad and angry about all the hardships that Keeley had to endure for most of her life.
Keeley is a strong, good hearted and loving individual. She was put into the most terrible situations and never gave up. Even when she hit rock bottom and felt so irrevocably broken she kept fighting. Keeley is a fighter and a woman easily admired.
Henry is a handsome, wealthy and caring individual. He meets Keeley while out one night and is drawn to her. After learning a little bit about her Henry decides he wants to be her knight in shining armor. Little does he know, she might just be the one to rescue him.
