A very good book. The chapters are very short, which I appreciate. This does not detract from the story or character development. We learn about Romulus Buckle and his crew as they attempt to rescue their clan leader in this steampunk adventure. We also get a good picture of the Pneumatic Zepplin, the airship the young Captain commands.

Just as good as the first book, Choice of the Mighty, this second in the series moves along well after a brief synopsis to remind us what happened in the first.
The book jumps back in time, slightly. The epilogue of book 1 took place a year after Stephen left for the Enclave. This book starts just a few months after his arrival.

Up to the Druid! 😊

It’s still a pretty cheesy love story focusing on a stressed-out L.A. lawyer and some Irish beefcake. The lawyer suffered the death of her “aunt.” An aunt who wrote letters, read by the protagonist infrequently but giving opportune life coach advice… very cheesy.
That said, the dialogue is good, and moves the story along; the sex scenes are minimal, easily skimmed over if that’s your preference.

This book is just as cheesy halfway through as it was in the beginning. It’s a good light romance. I did get a good recipe idea out of it, Dublin Coddle.

The book starts out pretty two-dimensional, but the writing style is good. Ending the first chapter staring through a window at a naked man said this author has a sense of humor, so… I read on...

A wonderful read. Put this on your list for easy enjoyment.

ON HOLD
A moderately interesting tale of a Chinese trash collector, but I’m putting this one on the shelf for a while. The chapters are rather long, and I just don’t have the time to read long chapters.
