Hatshepsut's Collar by A.W. Exley
5.0
Cara and Nate are at it again, this time trying to figure out how to live with each other, rather than simply(?) how to love each other. The revelation of one of Nate's (many!) secrets shatters their bliss but before Cara can figure out what it means, he's whisked off to the Tower of London, charged with treason. More revelations follow in rapid succession, with the action sweeping across London to Russia and back again.
This sequel to Nefertiti's Heart (an excellent steampunk mystery-romance that I recommend reading first) is extremely satisfying on all fronts. There's less mystery here and more action-adventure, and it works really well alongside the romance.
I love that Cara is such a strong, independent, clever character. She seems quite capable of giving Nate the slip if she so desires. Having a few sections from Nate's perspective helps as well because we can see how genuinely upset he is by her upset.
Loki's back, being his devilishly handsome self. I'd love to see him caught in a romance in a future book - and the ending of the book opens up the possibility for a very long-lived series, much to my delight!
