The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook

Dear readers
Steampunk romance is on the rise. For those of who do not know, Steampunk is the combination of Regency or Victorian England with clockwork mechanics. Airships, steamships, clockwork mechanisms, Napoleon usually, aliens occasionally, mixed with bonnets, pirates, chaperons and rakes. Think "Wild Wild West". Meljean Brook follows a slightly different path with Genghis Khan and his army of mongols having conquered Europe and corrupted most of the world's population. In "The Iron Duke" we follow Mina as she is pursued by a man who is both a gentleman and a pirate. Filled with passion and adventure this is a great read for romance fantasy lovers. If you enjoyed Nalini Singh's Archangel series then you should deffinitely try The Iron seas.
