Review The Madame of Gravestone by Misty Burke

Title: The Madame of Gravestone (The Corset Chronicles, #1)
Author: Misty Burke
Source: Requested review
Genre- Steam-punk romance
Length: Novella
Authors website

Tripp Monroe is on an easy assignment, photographing the Kansas City Steampunk Ball. Attendees dressed in costume, playing with mechanical gizmos, surround him and he’s bored out of his mind. Until…until he’s thrust into a world he’d never imagined. Into a world where the Civil War ended without a winner. Where the North walked away and the South formed their own crippled country. And the West? Well, they pulled away from both sides and created Westland. A rough and tumble country, complete with an evil King. Before long, Tripp finds himself mixed up with a traitorous band of women looking to overthrow a king. And, of course, the delectable Emma, leader and Madame of Gravestone, needs him for her plan to work. But, could she want him for more?

Madame of Gravestone was very fun to read. Step back into a different time and find a woman that lives a traitorous life, who meets a man from a different time to help her with her adventure in overthrowing the king. You’ll find some twist and turns in the story and some hot sex along the way. I had a hard time getting into the first of the book, but over all it was a very nice read.I am looking forward to the next Corset adventure.

The clicking of a gun made him turn toward his left. A woman in burlesque attire had a long barreled pistol pointed at his face. “State your business, or a hot piece of lead is going to split your head in two.

Guest author Misty Burke with giveaway!

Hi everyone! I’m excited to be visiting with you on Bitten by Paranormal Romance.

I wanted to talk to you today about eternal love. For even though Valentine’s Day is past us now, the fairy tale love it represents still lingers on throughout the year. It’s that prince in shining armor little girls dream of. It’s the man riding in on his white horse to save the day.
The chocolates (that have long since been eaten), the flowers (which have wilted away), and the cards (that have been misplaced somewhere) are all just a glimmer of the romance we truly desire. What we really want, what we really crave, is for our fairy tale to come true.
My latest book, The Genie of the Portrait, is about that kind of fairy tale love. My heroine has been plagued with a bad boyfriend that we can all relate too … but she finds a Genie who can change everything. All she has to do is make a wish.


Here is a little teaser –
Amanda had always been forgiving, until the night of her engagement. It was at that moment, when she found her new fiancé banging the waitress in the bathroom, that she changed. Never again. Men were not going to use her ever again.

So when she found William’s portrait and learned that his whole purpose for existing was to let her use him, an electrifying relationship resulted. This genie offered her three nights of pleasure. And Amanda quickly realized she wanted more.
               

What do you wish for? What is the fairy tale that is locked in your own heart? I would like to give an ebook copy of The Genie of the Portrait to one lucky person who participates in this “Post your wish” contest. So please post and share your idea of eternal love.
            A Little About Me –
I live in the Romantic Ozark Mountains with my supportive husband, our four wonderful children, and two rambunctious pugs. When I'm not enjoying family time, I love to write paranormal romances. Creating exciting fantasy worlds filled with dangerously handsome heroes, is one of my passions.

Sarah Thompson knows what it's like to have a midlife crisis at twenty nine. She has spent the last several years running her own yoga studio and trying to survive being single in a small gossipy town. And if that were not enough, she decides it is the perfect time to go back to school. So you see, Sarah's world was already spinning when she learns that her hunky professor has teeth … as in Vampire teeth!

This undead hero, aka Charles Underwood, introduces her to a fantastic world filled with good and evil. It is a world where Sarah learns that she is a Watcher. Her birthmark foretells a prophecy that throws her into the middle of a magical conflict where battle lines have already been drawn.

Cover- I love the cover.



The Last Watcher is a fantastic quick read. I was really impressed with Misty Burke vampire story. I found danger, adventure and a very good prophecy tale. I would recommend this to paranormal romance readers.

The book description says enough, I am not going to spoil. I did like both Charles and Sara and I liked them both together. I loved the stroyline I found it different and wanting more at the end. The only downside to me was a romance reader I found the sex scenes a little rushed and lacking in the seduction, but in saying this I know its hard to put it all in into a short novella. I also felt this story could have been made into a series for more books to come. Hint, hint Misty....
