Gossamer Wing Steam and Seduction Delphine Dryden Books

I really enjoyed this book, a steampunk romance. The characters were great, the plot was interesting and steampunk is not overwhelming. I really liked Charlotte and Dexter, they were pretty well shaped characters and I liked their interactions. The romance in this book was believable too, it wasn't just a guy and a girl that meet and 5 minutes later have hot sex. This had more feeling to it, they were attracted to each other but also fell in love. I liked the building up of the love story, The story of them being spies in France was a little confusing at some parts but was still interesting and made for some suspenseful scenes in the book. The sex scenes were not overly graphic and were tasteful. The world building was also very well done, since the steampunk aspects were not over the top, not everything they did and had was mechanical, just enough to make the story interesting.
Overall I am giving the book 4 out of 5 stars and I am excited about reading more in this series.

Gossamer Wing Steam and Seduction Delphine Dryden Books Reviews

Enjoyable story, interesting characters
I really enjoyed reading this story, it has everything I want in a steampunk romance. You won't be sorry you brought this to read .
First book I've read by this author - really enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed Gossamer Wing which is steampunk romance. The leading characters in this are really good Lady Charlotte Moncrief - a widow who is determined to finish her spy husband's final mission - and the inventor "Makesmith Baron" Dexter who is drafted to accompany Charlotte as her new 'husband'.

I really liked the leads, the Charlotte is good as the woman who has lived solely for the chance to avenge her husband (and doesn't plan on surviving the mission) but I really really liked Dexter - he is my favorite kind of hero intelligent but still passionate and very respectful of his leading lady's skills and straight forward and completely besotted with Charlotte as well. I like reading about a romance that is a partnership as a nice change of pace from all of those dominant alphas that populate my normal genre of choice PNR (and make their heroine's have to fight to keep from being completely dominated - in real life that would be just too much work.)

The background story with the pair's mission to France is interesting and I am looking forward to more from this world.
A totally enjoyable Steampunk adventure that had me engrossed from start to finish. I totally loved every moment of this very interesting romance. The other thing is that this is a mystery/spy adventure that takes a lot of interesting turns. Charlotte and Dexter have a relationship that is absolutely fun to read.

The way that this book starts out is interesting because it takes us to the past so that we can understand what is going on between the English and the French. We are in the middle of a mission going wrong, papers designed for some kind of weapon have fallen into the wrong hands, plus someone dying. The person who dies is important to our heroine, as it was Charlotte’s husband. Charlotte has always wanted answers as to why her husband died.

Charlotte is now an agent herself. She finds that Dexter is a very interesting guy as he makes all of the gadgets that she needs. Plus he himself is a Baron of sorts. So he is nobility like herself in a way. Him and Charlotte are going to enter into a fake marriage, not realizing that they will develop very real feelings along the way. Also Charlotte has invented an airship of her own, that she calls the Gossamer Wing. The Gossamer Wing is an airship that can move very quietly and will come in handy during night missions.

Dexter finds Charlotte to be a very interesting and intriguing woman. One that intrigues him so much in fact. While they are on their honeymoon, they start to get to know one each other very intimately in fact. I really like how their conversations really get more intense and that they start to know one another on a deeper level. Plus what happens on the boat is very scary and intense. I really found myself enjoying what happened between Charlotte and Dexter was riveting and intense. They in that instant understand that they need each other more than either of them ever realized. I also like how necessary that some of the obstacles can be at times, but they can overcome them together.

Also the other thing that I liked about this book was the world building was incredible. I can actually believe a lot of things about the inventions and gadgets are invented. Also it’s believable that women can be agents. Plus the inventions are part of society and a business.

This book some incredible moments that were like so unexpected and utterly captivating to behold. Both Charlotte and Dexter realize that they don’t really want their marriage to be dissolved after this case is solved because they really do have feelings for one another that neither of them expected. It was like falling in love again for Charlotte and for Dexter to have someone he cared and loved. He never wants this fascinating woman to leave his side. Dexter and Charlotte definitely had a real genuine growing period as a couple.

This was a great start to what looks like an excellent series.
