Victorian Scoundrel

All s well that ends well At least that was supposed to be for some of our characters, but especially for our whole society of the 21st century I mean 19th 21st It is normal to expect complications when the time travel is possible and the time machines are not well guarded, especially when the one who puts his mind to do the journey has everything it takes to succeed Interesting, and in my opinion quite hard to do it, is to create a thread of the story that will not drag, but draw attention, mak [...]

This is the first Victorian Steampunk I ever read, and I loved it With the setting so vibrant and the time travelers so personable, this story was fun from cover to cover.

Reviewed for THC Reviews 4.5 stars Victorian Scoundrel was my first steampunk romance, and I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it The steam powered machines were seamlessly woven into the storyline, so that I hardly noticed the oddity of their presence in the historical setting Time travel also played a big role in the plot with the author exploring the ramifications of time travelers doing things that might alter the time line which is something I always enj [...]

I was initially intrigued by the steampunk aspect of this book and drawn into the world the author creates One of the best elements of the book is the real and passionate romance between the characters The time travel feature of this book was fabulously written however the characters are extremely na ve, throwing themselves into situations just to cause trouble The plot driven scenarios were available for the characters and just served as a means to further the storyline People that like to read [...]

Time travel paranormal, historical and steampunck, Victorian Scoundrel is a lovely and lively story that will keep you entertained from the first to the last page S Burkhart is great at painting appealing characters who keep you riveted to their adventures and romances Mona Risk.

I love novels in which there is time travel so when I see the plot I couldn t wait to read it and I was not disappointed It s an exciting book, fun, light, easy to read with appealing characters and a beautiful love stories I found myself engrossed in this book and wanted to know what was going to happen next.Edmund wants to convince Prince Albert to build a dirigible so creates a time machine to move in 1851, the year when there was the Britain s Great Exhibition Alice, worried of trouble that [...]

I read the second book in this series a few years back It was full of wibbly wobbly timey whimey goodness, so when I got the chance to review the first book in the series, I was thrilled.This book is a quick steampunk read and a great start to the series I love Alice and Edmond Windsor It was great to finally see how the story started.The story combines all the wonderful things that make steampunk such a great genre, while adding a touch of romance between Edmund and Keira, the prime minister s [...]

This book was literally just okay The characters seemed really juvenile Their mistakes, trip ups, and the situations they find themselves in and by which the entire plot is driven are all completely avoidable Not only are they avoidable, but if they had acted with any sense at all none of this would have happened I get that there are steampunk elements to this, and that s what initially drove me to pick it up Timetravel is fun and all, but the steampunk world was where it was at for me.Unfortuna [...]

When I agreed to read this as part of a Review Tour, I liked the premise of the book and had been looking for a good steampunk romance Unfortunately, what I really wanted was a modern day steampunk, not an actual Victorian era steampunk The characters in this book travel back to Victorian England and the book takes place in history I also made the bitter mistake of reading this while listening to The Immortal Empire by Kate Locke The two are as different as night and day, even though both can be [...]

I have a growing interest in steampunk, and having read some of Ms Burkhart s previous books I was intrigued to see what she would make of this genre She steamrollered it Pardon the pun I wondered how the story would finish and no I m not going to give as spoiler I ll only say the end was unexpected, riveting and right up until the last page I had no idea how the author was going to solve the difference in time to my satisfaction At the end of the book the only frustration I had was that I had n [...]
