Heart of Steel by Meljean Brook

3.0

Honestly, I have absolutely NO CLUE what happened in this book. The plot is a mess and makes absolutely no sense. That being said, the build between Yasmeen and Archimedes is STEAMY! Watching the two of them fall in love, with a wonderful, soft flipping of traditional gender roles, made the book for me. Archimedes is a near perfect Beta hero, who knows when to step back and support his lady as she takes charge. It never diminishes him and eventually Yasmeen comes to rely on that steady support and OH it is heartbreakingly beautiful.

So, plot = disaster. World building = confusing. Character & character development = AWESOME.
