Steel Dominance is book three in Cari Silverwood's Steamwork Chronicles and it is daring and gorgeous story of love, courage and transcendence. Cari's steampunk and historical erotica consistently sets the highest mark for her genre. Her exceptional tales are anchored in excellent world building. The characters are complex, flawed and yet never caricatures and were the erotica removed they would still be evocative, fascinating and well drawn tales.Dankyo is back from his brief yet scorching appearance in Iron Dominance. Steel Dominance is first and foremost a love story...one full of adventure and danger for Dankyo and Sofia. It is a satisfying cocktail of bold eroticism and cautious vulnerability. Cari Silverwood does not rely upon the cliches of the brooding man to define Dankyo. He is a strong yet elegant character and defines the finest qualities in a literary dom. While he is quiet and focused, he lacks the broody, selfish and aggressive petulance many author's utilize to create the wounded warrior or bereft lover. Sofia is an intelligent, driven, talented and strong woman who engages as a sub for the first time. Her character is sexually curious, eager and yet she is able to set limits for her heart and self-esteem. It was a pleasure to watch these two characters fall in love and evade their significant and elaborate obstacles.
