This was my first time reading steam punk, and I really enjoyed it!It was so much fun!Though there was not very much spanking in the story, the plot made up for it.  It was fast paced and energetic.I really liked the attention Ms. Swann gave to each MC’s POV, showcasing plenty of emotional depth and growth.Dr. Gladys DeWalt was a strong, brilliant scientist, punished for failing a mission that led to the deaths of many of her crew members.  I loved her feisty nature mixed with her emotional side- the softer side she had to keep hidden.Dr. Sebastian Cromwell, an outsider, and brilliant scientist, is also part automaton, giving others the impression that he has no human emotions or feelings.Gladys is stripped of her position, and placed in his care as his intellectual ward, making for a clever and entertaining story.This was a great combination of sci fi, fantasy, romance and steam punk with a little spanking included.I wish there had been a bit more spanking, but I still very much enjoyed the story and the characters as they developed and fell in love.I hope there will be sequels!
