Elemental Steampunk Tales Book 4
A rare manuscript. A midnight promise. A man who would steal them both away.
Pressured by looming deadlines and an annoying patron, Evie Brown, academic librarian, struggles to find joy this Christmas holiday. Worse, her sick father is ready to abandon treatments and surrender to fate -- a decision she refuses to accept. Delving into a medieval manuscript, she searches for answers in the distant past.
For the woman who has stolen his heart, only a perfect proposal will do. Ash Lockwood, botanist, has transformed the rooftop greenhouse into a tropical fairyland. But when Evie begs him to help her harvest mistletoe at midnight, they venture down a different garden path - unaware that danger circles close.
When their plans implode and a murderer threatens their lives, only invention and teamwork will save them.

My Review:
I hardly even know what to say about this book. This is what I wish everybody else’s steampunk romantic suspense I’ve read could’ve been like. A smart, sassy heroine who knows what she’s talking about. A sensitive, noble hero who’s just fallible enough to be human. And a nefarious villain whose devious plans aren’t immediately obvious. Mix with enough humor to make me giggle-snort and plenty of action, and I am a very happy reader. I’m just sorry it’s over already. I want more. MORE, I tell you! Sigh. I guess I’ll just have to wait patiently until the next book’s released. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through Booksprout.
