Review: Pure Fun--with more than one connotation of "steam"

This book was an interesting blend of fantasy and steampunk, with some really interesting concepts. The heroine is part fey, and therefore she has trouble disattracting men, plus she has this little problem with machinery. She is a governess and has just left one job because of the inappropriate advances of her employer, when she takes on a new position as governess to five children, who live with their ward, a thirtyish and attractive man.Who also happens to be a Knight of the Round Table.Fun, huh? How can it not be?I do admit, however, to skimming certain parts--the number and length of the sex scenes make this a fantasy romance instead of a fantasy. Not a problem, of course, for fantasy romance readers, but they were something of a surprise given the chaste cover and the blurb. I don't mind sex scenes, but I prefer then to be short and with punch.Now that I am familiar with the author, I know what to expect. There are other books planned in this series, which I intend to read, plus there is a free novella ebook, which I just downloaded.
