They're too cocky, too domineering, and too handsy - in a number of ways, not all of them good - to ever really feel comfortable with. Sometimes they don't work, and you see them for the d-bags they are. (A cold night curled up with a book, people.) These aren't men you'd date in real life, but they are good for warming up a cold night. Sometimes they work and you love them for being flawed and domineering, but ultimately protective and cuddle-able. Romance (historical, paranormal, urban, doesn't matter) is very densely populated with "alpha male" characters. If you don't read a lot of romance in this vein, you may not get the distinction of what I am about to say, or why it bothered me: The titular character, the Iron Duke, is.rapey. I overcame my loathing of "chestical" covers to read this due to its inclusion of steampunk zombies, and for all that it is flawed, I have to say I enjoyed (nearly) every minute of it.įorgive me, then, for starting with the things I not-so-much liked. Where do I even begin? I guess first I should thank Velvet for being so amazeballs and sending this to me (thanks, V!). To save them, Mina and Rhys must race across zombie-infested wastelands and treacherous oceans-and Mina discovers the danger is not only to her countrymen, as she finds herself tempted to give up everything to the Iron Duke. But when Mina uncovers the victim's identity, she stumbles upon a conspiracy that threatens the lives of everyone in England. And when a dead body is dropped from an airship onto his doorstep, bringing Detective Inspector Mina Wentworth into his dangerous world, he intends to make her his next possession. Now Rhys Trahaearn has built a merchant empire on the power-and fear-of his name.
After the Iron Duke freed England from Horde control, he instantly became a national hero.
