Being a Maori cat-burglar in a corset isn’t easy for Beatrice. When she gets caught red-handed, pilfering from famous steam-car racer Lord Alexander, she’s sure she’s in for it. But instead of turning Beatrice over to the bobbies, Alexander offers her a job: recovering a stolen blueprint of a boiler from his rival racer, Lord William.
Soon Beatrice wonders if her steam-powered gadgets and street smarts will keep her alive long enough to find the darn blueprint. And the worst part? She can’t deny her attraction for Alexander.
What a wonderful treat!
This was my first time reading anything by Barbara Russell, and what a wonderful treat it was! A sweet (clean) romance, paired with non-stop action and a beautifully written plot with superb world-building! Steampunk is so often tied to horror, which I only enjoy in small doses. Not so with this one, and I lapped it up in one heart-stopping chapter after another!
I loved how the plot and story are woven together blending the romance and action, steampunk elements and fantasy into a seamless pace and flow that makes it impossible to put down! The characters are another great part of the story. I quickly found I loved the whole cast, and am so glad I got to know them as their story plays out.
A wonderful story my a genre-bending master, Barbara Russell nailed this one with the skilled mastery of words and beautiful author magic to make both world-building and characters fit so perfectly into the story going on around them! 5 stars!
