Read 2 times. Last read September 13, 2014 to September 18, 2014.
So far I've been a bit disappointed with this book. Too much swooney romance & not enough magic, action & alchemy! And for a heroine who seems to constantly say (and be told) how independent, strong & resourceful she is, she certainly lies down, stays where she's told, and leaves everything up to the big strong man too much. Hurrumph. In the words of a friend after discussing the book "Methinks thou doest protest too much"!

I'm listening to The Native Star by M.K. Hobson right now. Alt history steampunk story with magic users. 25% through - really good so far. Let me know if you want other recommendations & I'll dig up some more. :)
The Magic Bites series by Ilona Andrews is really good as well. More of a magical ass-kicker, but a lot of fun & strong female lead. Pretty sexy stuff farther along in the series, too. ;)
I agree with your review. I couldn't even finish the book. she was such a doormat and the romance was poorly written to boot.
