Lust Plague: Hot and Sexy Zombies

Amazon

Saving the world should be easier. When airship captain Kaysana meets Sten the last thing she wants to do is have mad rough sex with him while bound by ropes and clamps…but fate pencils in their appointment. The lust plague strikes. From her infected crew, zombies arise. 

With her ship gone, she must rely on Sten, a human clone, a man who has fought all his life to master himself. She despises his kind and detests Sten’s growing hold on her. Though he never takes no for an answer, surely it’s the plague that makes yes slip from her tongue like melted butter? Or should she blame her own traitorous heart?

Hordes of slavering zombies await them. Sten and Kaysana unlimber weapons, don goggles, and set a course for the origin of the plague. Yet victory will be hollow if they cannot also solve the puzzle of their hearts.

This journey into the Steamwork Chronicles, book two is a passage into a lust ridden zombie plague that morphs into something a lot more dire. First you go crazy sexually and then the blood lust comes. When the book opened up, I was sucked right into the vortex of feeling. Author Cari Silverwood can turn a phrase and if you don't have a whole lot of lust in your heart after reading this book then you must be one of the undead yourself. lol.

When the main character is paired with a frankenstruct male, she fights the inner urges that make her lust for him so completely. Sensuous, delightful and in turns frightening, this world is not for the faint of heart.

The dialogue is effortless, the BDSM elements will rock your world and the fear that comes with a zombie plague adds a new level of ferocity that drives this plot forward at a fevered pace. I loved this book!

Iron Dominance by Cari Silverwood

Raised from childhood as an assassin, Claire finds her world knocked off kilter when Theo Kevonis, a rich, ex-Air Corp nobleman, rescues her from an airship crash. Being a soldier of a hostile nation she cannot reveal her identity, but Theo sinks his steely Dom fingers into her heart and soul, showing her the pleasures to be found in surrendering to his touch. Captivated, Claire cannot help but bind herself in lie after lie rather than risk losing the one man who’s ever loved her.

When her loathsome commander returns from the dead, her deceit is uncovered. Somehow, Claire must find a way to win back Theo's trust and destroy the man who threatens them both.

What I Liked:

This book has a great voice and you really get into the character's heads. Cari does a superb job of world building. I actually went out and bought this book after requesting a copy of Lust Plague, the second in the series. I am glad I went back and read this one first. It really shed light on how the world was set up, both with the Frankenstructs and how they related to the humans around them and the power structures. 

The BDSM elements are quite simply, delicious. Cari doesn't shy away from putting her characters in situations that ratchet up the tension and one of my favorite things (without too much in the way of spoilers) is the outfit Theo has Claire wear. OMG. Hotness. 

I love the way you can see the plot unraveling, like a train wreck about to happen. At several points, it reminded me of a movie, where you see the heroine going in a direction you just know is going to get her into trouble. 

What I Didn't:

It ended. Damn.

Overall:

This book was a wonderful beginning to The Steamwork Chronicles. It sets up the world, shows you how Frankenstructs relate to humans, the power structure and political intrigues. The sex is steamy, the BDSM aspect to it is rock solid smut-tastic, (yay!) and the plot kept me enthralled. Ever book I have read by Cari is well written, with intricate facets and is a delight to the senses. The lunch money sacrifice was well worth it! Steampunk, hot BDSM, a plot to keep you up nights and a new world to have adventures in...what could be better than that?

5/5
