My
Book Beginning:
From
Prussia with Love by Tina Christopher
Clara
Redbeck, currently traveling under the name Clara Riesenbeck, paused at the
bottom of the ramp and studied the Bismarck. The dirigible was one of the
modern multilevel models and would take her all the way from Tilsit, on the
east coast of Prussia, to London. Or as far as she had to go before she
fulfilled her mission.
My Thoughts: This
is a book I’ve been reading for review and so far I think it has a promising
beginning.

My 56 (Also
From Prussia with Love)
She climbed on top of the pallet beside the stack of boxes filled with bombs and studied the floor. There you are. A narrow black cylinder had been attached to the wall. She imagined it responded to movement. She studied the layout of the cargo hold and the routes she could take to get the bombs to her aerocycle. Every one required her to either fly or climb across the top of the boxes in order to avoid the new security device.

My Thoughts: Things
are really beginning to get tense as far as her mission is concerned. The romance has really, really heated up
too. Definitely a book intended only for
adults!
About From Prussia with Love (Victoria’s Secret Agents, Book 1)
by Tina Christopher
Clara
Redbeck has one goal: to prove to the sods at work--and to herself--that the
best man for the job can be a woman. To do that, she must prevent a traitor
from blowing London to bits. If only the dashing first mate of the dirigible
she’d been tasked to plunder didn’t set her aflame.
Garrett Dewhurst has one goal: to execute the coup of a lifetime. His plans do
not include a spanking dalliance with the most intriguing woman he has ever
met.
With each encounter, the fire between them burns hotter and their need grows
stronger. Finally, the cramped cabin aboard the Bismarck becomes
their intimate playground, where Garrett introduces Clara to the pleasure of
submission and they explore their passion in every way possible.
Clara and Garrett want a future together, but each holds a secret that if
revealed could cost them everything. With the clock ticking down on the
traitor's plan, they'll have to choose between protecting themselves or the
whole of London.

Have a great Friday!
I am so distracted by those orange spectacles on the cover... quite the impression.
ReplyDeleteI am too! Such a great cover. He reminds of Bram Stoker's Dracula. LOL Sounds like a fun steam punk.

Sounds intense and compelling! Thanks for sharing...and enjoy. And thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteDoes this book have Steampunk elements? I get the feeling from the cover that it does.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is definitely a steampunk romance and it's quite a bit hotter than what I normally read
DeleteI was okay with this one - steampunk, action, danger - until it got to the hint of kinky sex. I hope you enjoy the story. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely seems like an interesting book, I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSounds good...I like books set in London.
ReplyDeleteENJOY, and have a good weekend.

My Book Beginnings
I was intrigued up until the "adult"-ness of it. I'm afraid I'm a bit of a prude when it comes to reading. I skim over those parts pretty well but I'd rather not have to.
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty exciting! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I want to read that. Love some Steampunk :)
ReplyDeleteCora @ Tea Party Princess
I really like the sound of this one!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings).
Had me until you said it was for adults and I avoid books with intense intimate scenes all I can. Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds exciting and full of adventure. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
