Five years ago, Annika made a grave mistake that could have
endangered all that she loved. However, instead of her
taking the blame, her sister Källa shouldered the
responsibility and was exiled for her efforts. Now Annika
is on the hunt for her sister and will stop at nothing
until she finds her. Bordering the airship called Phatéon,
there she meets an intriguing character in David Kentewess.
Their chemistry is palpable from the very beginning, but
when David threatens to expose the secret of Annika's
hidden village in Iceland, her initial attraction to him
flickers for a moment.
Meljean Brook delivers a stellar love story that is slow-
burning but utterly romantic and satisfying. The yearning
that both parties feel is translated so well on the pages
that readers feel increased anticipation as they wait to
see what happens next.
RIVETED begins a little slowly, warming up to the world and
introducing these new characters and forging a bond between
them. It isn't until half the book has passed that readers
are completely sucked into the world that Brook has
created. Such a vivid imagination that Meljean has!
Creating a world so vastly different from ours piques the
curiosity of readers, but the real talent lies in Brook's
ability to conjure up these scenes and make them feel real.
Readers who are searching for that perfect steampunk
romance will be thrilled to find everything RIVETED.
Fascinating worlds, a misunderstood villain and of
course, a passionate love story -- Meljean Brook has
delivered it all in a perfectly polished platter, yours for
the taking!
A century after a devastating volcanic eruption forced
Iceland\'s inhabitants to abandon its shores, the island has
become enshrouded in legend. But the truth behind the
legends is mechanical, not magical--and the mystery of the
island a matter of life and death for a community of women
who once spilled noble blood to secure their freedom.
Five years ago, Annika unwittingly endangered that secret,
but her sister Källa took the blame and was exiled. Now
Annika serves on an airship, searching for her sister and
longing to return home. But that home is threatened when
scientific expedition leader David Kentewess comes aboard,
looking to expose Annika\'s secrets. Then disaster strikes,
leaving David and Annika stranded on a glacier and pursued
by a madman, with their very survival depending on keeping
the heat rising between them--and generating lots of steam...
