Like the previous book in the Gaslight Chronicles, Dragon’s & Dirigibles is novella length.  Also like the previous books it packs a lot in it’s 48,000 words and is a great addition to the series.This time it is Melody McKay’s story.  Melody is an engineer and a very modern woman.  When her airship explodes she meet Victor Arrington, the Earl of Blackwell.  From the beginning Victor’s old-fashion ideas and Melody’s modern way of life cause a clash.  There is a problem at Victor’s estate. Smugglers are using it for a base and they need to be stopped.  As they work together they both find that there is an attraction that cannot be denied.  It is fun to see how Melody changes how Victor feels about modern women.It is a nice plot but I knew who the bad guy was from the beginning.  It did not change my enjoyment of the story and there were two surprises at the end.  One was dropped by Tom and is a big hook for what could be the next story in the series.  You don’t have to read the series in order but it is more fun that way.
