Can steamy romance get any better? Of course!...when
authors get together and decide to combine erotic romance
with steampunk the reader can look forward to a bunch of
great stories. The Victorian atmosphere combined with
machinery and industrialization make for an exciting book.
Each story is anywhere from 8-15 pages long. This can make
it hard to get to know the characters, but many of these
authors do develop their characters to the point where the
reader can get to know them. The authors seemed to be
attempting to offer the reader a glimpse into each
character's life; with this purpose, they succeeded
admirably.
Every story was slightly different, the focus was on some
different aspect of steampunk. The reader will definitely
not be bored. At least 3 characters will appeal to the
reader and the stories will be difficult to dislike. The
reader will have a hard time putting this book down, but at
least the reader can finish a short story before putting
the book down-makes it so much easier to pick up where the
reader left off.
Steamlust is romantic erotica that reflects the
excitement, fantasy and rebellion of steampunk. Not sure
what steampunk is? Think Victorian elegance and aesthetics
meets futuristic invention and exploration. The genre of
steampunk itself has transcended the Victorian (or
Edwardian) eras — in Kristina Wright\'s inventive
anthology, it can be any time period, real or imagined,
that blends elements of science, history, fantasy and
technology. Until Steamlust, the genre had been missing
romantic relationships and erotic encounters. Steampunk
erotic romance is shiny brass and crushed velvet;
mechanical inventions and romantic conventions; sexual
fantasy and kinky fetish. It\'s steam powered sexy romance!
Editrix extraordinaire Kristina Wright creates a lush and
fantastical world of women-centered stories and romantic
scenarios, first for steampunk fiction. Fetishizing the
wardrobe, language, fantasy and rituals of steampunk,
Steamlust includes alternate histories, second worlds,
time travel and contemporary settings. (with Meljean
