Victorian Scoundrel is a clever Steam Punk novel full of Time travel, interesting gadgets, witty dialogue and love scenes that will have the reader reaching for a fan!Stephanie Burkhart has a fresh, quick, quirky, inventive imagination and she gives the readers of Victorian Scoundrel a delightful mixture of all of the above!Ms. Burkhart combined fact with pure fantasy regarding inventions of 1855 London. At times I did not know what was true, and what she had created especially for this Steam Punk novel.The story is fast paced, fun, full of warm, heart stopping moments. The reader will find themselves smiling as the story progresses, and by the last chapters, they will be sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to see how Grayson, Alice and Alice's cousin Edmund will ever be able to unravel the tangle Alice and Edmund created with their whirlwind journey through Time!1855 soot coated London came alive through Mr. Burkhart's vivid descriptions and sprinkling of historical reference.The end of this book is guaranteed to have the reader counting the days until the release of The Windsor Diaries Book Two: A Gentleman and Rouge in November 2012.I enjoyed Victorian Scoundrel immensely, not wanting to put it down until I got to the end, then, when I got to the end, I did not want it to end!Stephanie Burkhart is an author in a league of her own, giving readers stories that stay with them for a long time after the last page has been read.The Windsor Diaries Book One: Victorian Scoundrel
