A Lady Can Never Be Too Curious by MARY WINE






Janette Aston is fascinated by all things scientific, despite the Victorian definition of ladylike. Enthralled by Illuminists committed to scientific discovery, she sneaks into their headquarters. Darius Lawley, Guardian, catches her. He must save this rare Pure Spirit able to harness crystal power, from the rival Helikeians. The couple's attraction is sudden and steamy.



Here's what reader has to say about the book!


Love it! I'm a fan of Mary Wine's Highlander series, but when I saw the cover I found it appealing and fascinating! This is my first Steam Punk book and I think there will be more on my wish list. I was curious to know more of the "Illuminists". Her characters Janette and Darius are passionate in this new world that Ms. Wine created for her readers. 


Janette's curiosity takes her inside the Illuminist's doors, she meets the most formidable man she's ever met. Darius. Love and intrigue in the search of the Deep Earth Crystals! 

I really had a hard time putting it down because I wanted to know what was coming next. Mary Wine is a high-quality writer that kept my interest throughout the book and gave me that feeling to read the next one to be released in May 2013 "A Captain can never be to Bold".
Ms. Wine is one of my favorite authors and again has written a wonderful story. I will definitely buy more books of hers.
