Blurb:
When all your hopes begin in
the sky.
The world is not what it once was, but Rose cannot seem to convince her mother
of that. Steam powered airships, mechanical carriages, and a far less
constricting type of fashion are not enough to free Rose from her mother's
hand. Headed toward London and a suitor she's never met, all Rose wants to do
is captain the airship her father left her upon his death. While not impossible
in the new world order, it's certainly not fathomable to her antiquated mother.
In order to live her dream, Rose will have to take matters into her own hands.
Two tragedies left Wyatt nearly destitute and an emotional rogue. When he hears
of the big race that could win him a title and land, he's ready to push life
savings on the line. Unfortunately, he had no ship of his own and no way to
enter, until he meets the beautiful Rose.
Their only hope of seeing both their dreams become a reality is each other.
From London to Paris and more, the duo must trust in one another if they are to
win the race. Trust comes with quite a cost as adventure can easily turn deadly
and losing the race isn't all they have to worry about.
My review:
Steampunk meets Around the
World in 80 Days. I loved the interplay between the characters. Rose is
determined to chase her dreams before she gives herself over to her controlling
mother to save the family’s finances. She needs help and it appears in the form
of hunky airship Captain Wyatt. The chemistry between the two is apparent from
the very start. This is a fun, fast-paced romantic tale that is sure to leave
you with a smile.
