"HEART OF IRON is so impressive, it deserves a seal of excellence!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Heart Of Iron
Bec McMaster

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

Fantasy Steampunk | Romance Paranormal

The second installment of the London Steampunk series delivers just as much action and passion as its predecessor. HEART OF IRON features the feisty Lena Todd and the mysterious and dangerous loupe, Will Carver.

In a hybrid world that mixes the dark, gas lit streets of London and futuristic advancements such as automons, Lena is an unsuspecting spy. Great dangers follows her but only Will understands how much trouble she is in when he discovers a coded letter that is identical to one found on a fire- bombing suspect. Unnaturally drawn to the human, Will must suppress his desires when in her presence. But it seems that passion burns brighter than his control because Lena and Will engage in a dance of wills as they discover love within the danger.

Bec McMaster has a unique way of luring readers in. The worldbuiling is phenomenal, the kind that is only limited by the boundaries of the imagination. McMaster continues to step over that line and creates a vastly unique and utterly vivid world that transports readers into another place. Blending together steampunk elements in a traditional historical setting is the soil in which McMaster uses to grow and bloom wonderful surprises for her readers.

Not a surprise is the brooding, mysterious Will Carver whom I fell in love with instantly. Will wants nothing more than to be seen as an equal, however being loupe prevents that. Therefore, he sees his curse as a disease, something that he wishes he didn't possess, even though it clings to him. This conflict is explored more fully later on in the book in a way that made me completely believe in the romance.

McMaster has completely won me over. HEART OF IRON is so impressive, it deserves a seal of excellence! Like moths to a flame, readers will be drawn to the world and characters McMaster has created. Make room on your keeper shelves because the London Steampunk series is your first class ticket to another mesmerizing world!

SUMMARY

Lena Todd is the perfect spy. Nobody suspects the flirtatious debutante could be a rebel against London's vicious elite—not even the ruthless Will Carver, the one man she can't twist around her little finger.

Will Carver, is more than man, he's a verwolfen and he wants nothing to do with the dangerous beauty who drives him to the very edge of control. But when he finds Lena in possession of a coded letter, he realizes she's in a world of trouble. To protect her, he'll have to seduce the truth from her before it's too late.
