Book two is often disappointing. But in this case, the sequel was even better than the original...which is saying something since I loved the first book in this series!
If I had to pigeonhole the genre, I think I'd call it a mashup of space opera and steampunk. There's no actual space travel, but the feel is there. On the other hand, there's the typical world-building of steampunk (plus magic), so lots of interest in that direction as well.
What I like best, though, is the level of romance/heat in this series. The books are very character driven and each one is about a new couple finding each other. But the adventures take center stage and there's no open-door sex. Just lots of road blocks thrown in the way to make it tough for the protagonists to get along.
The price is also right. Three full-length books for 99 cents if you buy them in the box set. Even at my speedy reading rates, that's a little bit cheaper than Kindle Unlimited, and for top-notch titles!
