Heart of Steel by Meljean Brook

5.0

Another wonderful romantic adventure that features some of the best world building I've read in Romance.

I think I actually preferred this novel over book #1 because Yasmeen was so dominate and independent, and Archimedes is such a goof, adorable. I was almost scared I wouldn't enjoy this one as much as the Iron Duke from other reviews, but I think since their relationship builds more slowly and naturally and she's almost an alpha female some others might have been put off. Perhaps from the sure lack of steamy bits though. Yes, it's an adult romance without out all the smut. Very classy.

High Adventure with a romantic twist that isn't sappy in a very vast and detailed world with it's own alt. history. I'd defiantly recommend this, I might even recommend new readers to the series to read this before Iron Duke as it isn't borderline rapey.
