BOOK INFO
Released: March 6, 2012
Series: Elemental Steam #1
Published by Berkley Heat
Pages: 368
Format: ARC
This book is actually 2 stories which I’ll review individually, but let me give you some general basic info. I admit that this might be my first steampunk-ish style book and I might’ve been a bit skeptical of picking it up, however, I love Jules Verne and having read that the author said some of those elements are in this series, as well as the fact that incorporates erotic elements, then I was anxious to see what came out of that!
Earthly Desires
Along the way she meets Bodhan. The epitome of a bad boy. The question is whose side is he on? And can she actually resist the sexy and wicked owner of said brothel ship, the Siren?Dare will have to get past her innocence to fulfill her task, but also experiences so many emotions and physical needs. I loved seeing her transformation and development throughout this story.
Fiery Temptations
There are some unexpected revelations about her past and her family and her relation to the Queen. I feel these two were an excellent match given both their backgrounds!If you are in the mood for something different, well written and sexy, you should definitely give this a try!

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
