It's a high compliment to pay a book when the only critique I can muster is that it wasn't long enough. After reading Kristen Painter'sHeart Of Fire, I was practically salivating to get my hands on her next book. And being an enthusiastic steampunk fan myself, I actually squealed when I found out she was releasing a steampunk novella.The heroine is appropriately sassy, and the hero unfathomably sexy. There's no explicit sex, and Kristen Painter's lyrical voice makes the romance enchanting. I felt it was true to the steampunk genre without being cliche'd, but unique enough that I didn't feel like it had all been done before.All in all, if you liked either of Kristen Painter's other books, if you like steampunk romance, or if you just like a good love story, I think you'll really enjoy this book. I know I did.Again, my only critique is that it was so short, I wanted more. Then again, maybe Kristen Painter will hear the outcry and give us more after all.
