Mina Wentworth is Detective Inspector and takes care of the dead. Rhys Trahaearn is a pirate and man of power now. Mina is horde and Rhys is metal and has nanoagents in his body. Its a steam punk romance and loved all the new words , and descriptions of this new world. Mina family is debt with Blacksmith . Her brother Andrew is on the Terror and she will do what ever it takes to rescue him.
This book also had two points of view of the Duke & Mina, so we could understand how they felt about something.
This is great romance and loved the location ,and that Marriage is topic on hand. What I didn't like was there one scene of rape , but they are both attracted to one another. When a Mina says stop even in the heat of the moment, but the pirate doesn't listen..made me question the relationship . It reminded me of the Luke/Laura relationship from General Hospital . I did like that they did talk about the previous night and he did apologize for his behaviour, and glad that they did continue on with their lust/love relationship. But this one scene ruined the relationship for me. Rhys will take what ever he wants including Mina.
This was a different book and loved that it had zombies, family , and friends on the seas or airships.
I did like that this book touched on some very social issues with race, class, relationships, and war. I did like that this book did have me thinking about all these themes with all characters.
Yasmeen & Scarsdale were great supporting cast of friends , and loved learning their history on hope to see more of them in the next book.

I bought this book and this is my honest review
I've read a few books recently where no doesn't necessarily mean no and it's excused because there is lust involved. That really bothers me.....I really can't read a book like that although I know many of my friends love them anyway.
ReplyDeleteThank for the review!
Thanks for the review. I absolutely loved this book, but I agree that sometimes a fine line is crossed in the name of romance. Sometimes it really bothers me and others, it seems more acceptable in light of the situation and characters. This was one of those times for me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good book .....
