Ashlyn hasn’t seen Gray her former lover in five long years. Not since the day he believed her to be a traitor to the military cause they both served.

Now as the volatile nature of their planet is reaching a fevered pitch, and the war over water to run their steam-powered technology is threatening all beings, she must face him once more.

Despite her intense hatred towards Gray, Ashlyn can’t let the father of her child be murdered by General Dagnus, the leader of the opposing army. Risking her life, Ashlyn lays everything on the line to save the man that betrayed her once. As they work together to survive, will they be able to rekindle the passion they once shared?



Ren’s Review

I’ve never read Steam Punk fiction before so I was very excited about this novella. At first, I thought it was set during WWII until after the first couple of paragraphs. I, then, found it hard to follow as I was not too sure where it was going.

The setting is detailed enough to give you an idea where they are, but the plot and the characters were not as developed as they could have been. There were moments where I thought it would pick up but it seemed to center only on the major sex scene that was towards the end. Hopefully someone will ignore this review and judge it for themselves.

1 Tea Cup!
