Lady Aramina wants nothing more than to exact revenge on
the man
responsible for assassinating her father. Since he is
still out of reach, Mina
finds herself drawn to his heir, Leo Barrons, a mysterious
enigma that both
infuriates her as well as ignites her with passion. When
she learns that Leo
may be illegitimate, she holds the power to destroy her
greatest enemy.
However, now that she has the upper hand, does she want to
hurt Leo for
something he has not done?
Bec McMaster's London Steampunk series has been
consistently strong.
Each installment makes tremendous leaps in its politics
and worldbuilding as
well as delivering fiery passion with its romance. OF SILK
AND STEAM is no
exception to that. In fact, McMaster may have up the ante
a little bit with this
installment, creating mysterious and intrigue with this
world she has built.
Not only does McMaster possess immense writing talent, but
she builds
each book so well on each other, paying particular
attention to detail and the
romance.
While the worldbuilding is exceptionally well done in this
series, for me my
favorite part has to be the romance. Mina and Leo just
sizzle together. Their
sexual tension is unbelievably scorching and paired with
that forbidden
lovers trope, it really makes for a romance fitting with
its mysterious
backdrop of London.
Whether you're into steampunk, historical or paranormal
romance, Bec
McMaster's novels will no doubt be a crowd pleaser.
ENEMIES. ALLIES. LOVERS.
When her beloved father was assassinated, Lady Aramina
swore
revenge. The man responsible is well beyond her grasp, but
his dangerously seductive heir, Leo Barrons, is fair game.
When Mina obtains evidence proving that Leo is
illegitimate,
she has the means to destroy both the killer and his son,
a
man who troubles her heart and tempts her body.
A woman of mystery, Mina's long driven Leo crazy with
glimpses of a fiery passion that lurks beneath her icy
veneer. He knows she's hiding something, and he's
determined
to unravel her layer by silken layer. He just doesn't
expect
the beautiful liar to be the key to overthrowing the
corrupt
prince consort...or to saving his own carefully walled-off
heart.
