I know I'm late with this one, but I blame that bitch Mother Nature and her damn PMS.

Cara
Devon and Viscount Nathaniel Lyons are back. It’s September 1861, a few months
after Cara nearly had her heart carved out by a crazy psychopath. She and
Nate are cohabitating and he has hired her to be his Number 2. Unfortunately,
Nate has been keeping secrets, some really big ones and just as he drops a
devastating one on her he’s arrested for treason and locked up in the grim Tower of London England
And…we’re
off and running! What an excellent ride! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy
following the adventures of Cara and Nate as they race against the clock. The
adventure, suspense, humor, romance and mythology are rolled up into a light
flaky crust of steampunk and sprinkled liberally with sexy steaminess.
Absolutely delicious! Hmmm…I seem to compare yummy books with tasty food a lot.
What can I say?
There
is so much I could say about what I loved about this book, but I absolutely do
not want to spoil the surprises (yes, I said surprises with an ‘s’), so I will
say that my favorite characters are back and a few new ones are introduced. I
learned a bit more about what Nefertiti’s Heart can do to/for Cara and Nate
(holy shit!) and some fantasy elements are increased in this book. The
steampunk elements are awesome. The story moves along at a brisk pace and the
book was glued to my hands. I truly hope this series continues for quite some
time. And Loki? Oh, boy, I can’t wait for him to meet his match though I hope
it will be a bit yet. I like having him single for now. *drools*
