Overview
Steampunk erotic romance is shiny brass and crushed velvet, mechanical inventions and romantic conventions, sexual fantasy and kinky fetish. This unique collection includes tales of adventure and intrigue, enhanced by imaginative gadgets and clever automatons, populated by the passionate, free-spirited rebels and dreamers steampunk is known for. In Nikki Magennis's "Make Your Own Miracles," a lust-filled lady orders a machine to relieve the agony of her longing; while a brilliant inventor and a wanton engineer collaborate with ecstatic results in Saskia Walker's "Hearts of the Daedalus." In Lynn Townsend's "Golden Moment," an invention leads the heroine to exactly the right lover at precisely the right time. And the time bandits of Vida Bailey's "Undergrounded" indulge their desires, just one step ahead of the law. Tantalizing steam engine dreams and clockwork visions await!

You may ask me, "Ryu, why did you count off a star for one story? It can't be THAT bad!" Yes, reader, yes it can. It's not only bad in a "This isn't going to be sexy for almost anyone" kind of way, but it's the kind of bad like ending a romantic comedy with the main character getting gruesomely murdered on screen, and then the credits rolling. A 5 star book without the last few pages, though!

While reading through the forward my interest was piqued with one short sentence. In the opening of [italic|Sparks] by Anna Meadows, the heroine starts her story by saying, [bold|"I would have been the first to concede how much better things were for me back when I behaved myself."]
This was enough to ensure that I would read this anthology from cover to cover and not regret a moment of it.

My only regret in Steamlust is that too many of the stories are too similar---all feature strong brilliant heroines whose hearts won't be confined by their corsets. If you don't mind romance with your erotica, exclusively male-female couplings, and a little more focus on the corsets than the cogs, this book will be fascinating. Even for the hardcore cog fans among us, Steamlust holds a lot to love, and there are stories worth reading for anyone who thinks steampunk is steamy.

This line right here: "You've got to stop wearing your corset so tight. You'll crack a rib."
"Better in pain than unkempt."
Must. Read. Now.

Steamlust is a very good read and I enjoyed each of the stories in it. The main characters were diverse but all of them could be related to. Very descriptive scenes helped to fully immerse myself in the stories.
