This is the second book in the Clockwork Agents series and was another fun steampunk romance. This was an entertaining read and is very heavy on the romance end of things. There is also a lot of action, adventure, and politics.
This book continues the story of Company Agents vs the Wardens. However this time the story focuses on Alistair Payne (who was in the first book) and a dashing American assassin known as the Dove. This isn't the best steampunk series out there but it is a fun diversion. If you like steampunk romance I would definitely recommend Meljean Brook's Iron Seas series over this one...that series is just absolutely amazing (everything...world-building, characters, action is amazing with that series).
Overall this was a quick and fun read. However the overall story isn't as cohesive as it could be and the world-building could also use some work. The characters are very engaging and have good chemistry and this is a fun fluffy read. I enjoyed the setting as well. I plan on reading the third and final book in the series, Breath of Iron.
