Reviewx2: Iron Duke by Meljean Brook

ShuzluvaA ReviewsAsian heroine / Duke / interracial-romance / law-enforcement / murder-investigation / racism / steampunk8 Comments

Because this book is so awesome, it needs more than one review. Dear Ms. Brook, I’ve greatly enjoyed many of your books, yet for some reason I’ve never felt compelled to review one until now. While that may be perceived as rude, it turns out that other reviewers at DA ... more >

REVIEW: The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook

JanineA- Reviews / B+ ReviewsAsian heroine / Duke / interracial-romance / law-enforcement / murder-investigation / racism / steampunk43 Comments

Dear Ms. Brook, The Iron Duke is a steampunk romance and it is very different in setting and genre from most of the romances I've read. It’s not really paranormal, but rather science fiction set in a partly-historical setting. A kind of "what if" world. What if nanotechnology had been ... more >

REVIEW: Desperately Seeking a Duke by Celeste Bradley

JaneBook Reviews / C Reviews Category / C- ReviewsDuke / heiress / Regency England / Will10 Comments

Dear Ms. Bradley: I admit that this is my first experience with you so despite your big backlist, it’s like a debut for me. Unfortunately, the book is like it’s title–trite and predictable. I suppose for fans of the regular regency historical, this book will fulfill that jones. The one ... more >
