Review: Fun little steampunky romance

I picked this up to get a sample of Kristen Painter's writing before the release of Blood Rights. I wasn't disappointed. The romance was full of tension and the banter between the hero and heroine was fun to read. The steampunk elements make for interesting additions to the story, but really the story would work in any other setting with little more than a change of wardrobe.My only criticism is that I couldn't buy into the point of Miss Bramble's mission to steal the valve from the Leviathon. How would possessing a valve prove that it's design had been stolen from her father? Especially when the valve itself had been stolen. Even with that little hiccup, I still found this to be an enjoyable romance novella.
