BLURB:
Royals Edmund and Alice Windsor return to 2011 only to discover their world is now powered by gasoline and electricity – not compressed natural gas. Their attempts to persuade their grandmother, Queen Anne II, falls on deaf ears. Taking matters into their own hands, they enlist Jonas Byron’s help and travel back to 1855 to set the time line right.
Now in Lincoln, Edmund is reunited with Lady Keira Russell, the love of his life, but if it isn’t one obstacle, it’s another. Keira does not want to fall in love with him again. Jonas Byron has taken up with Keira’s father to build a windmill, and Edmund’s brother, Richard, the Guardian of the Time Machine, has followed Edmund to ensure Queen Victoria makes the right decision when choosing the fuel of the future. Edmund has a choice – make mischief to ensure time marches to the beat of the right drummer, or trust in Keira and her belief that Queen Victoria will make the right decision on her own. Will Edmund lost Keira for good if he makes the wrong choice?

EXCERPT:
Richard pursed his lips. “All right, then. I have orders to take you, Alice, Grayson, and Jonas back immediately.”
“That ought to be fun — especially Jonas. He’s helping Keira’s father build a windmill.” “Petrol and electricity are the future.”
Edmund grimaced. “No, they aren’t. Alice and I tried to tell you — Keira’s compressed natural gas powers our future.” His voice filled with conviction.
“Ever since we were children–“
“History changed when Grayson came with Alice. He’s here to fix it now.”
Keira held up her hands. “Now, boys, let’s not raise our voices. I have a feeling you’ve had this conversation before and came to no resolution.”
“That’s true,” Edmund conceded.
Richard nodded.
Edmund glared at his brother. “I’m not leaving. Alice and I have every intention of setting history straight.” Richard sighed.
“Besides, the only way to get back to the future is for us to warm our coin necklaces in our hands. You can’t do that for us.”
“Ever heard of an override switch?”
“No.” Edmund’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t like the sound of that.
“Professor Byron gave me one.”
A sinking feeling descended into the pit of his stomach. “What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?”
“That’s telling.”
Exasperated, Edmund raked a hand through his hair. “Think this through, Richard. No, better yet — listen to your instincts.”
His brother chuckled.
“What’s so funny?”
“I had an interesting conversation about instincts today with Jocelyn.”
Keira tilted her head slightly, a curious expression crossing her face. “Do you know Jocelyn well?”
“I’m staying with the Dunkirks.”
“I can’t imagine Lord Ridgecroft meeting the suitable test with his goggles and cigars,” said Edmund.
“Actually, I find Jocelyn and her father very refreshing.”
“So, Richard, what are you going to do?” Edmund asked.
My Thoughts
This was such a unique and interesting book. I really enjoyed diving in and getting to see where it went.
I am a huge fan of steampunk and liked the addition of it to this story. I also loved that is had time travel and a little historical side to it. Normally I wouldn’t want to see this many styles together, but rather than clashing, it completely worked and worked well.
I found the characters a lot of fun. They were developed well and had their own style and attitude. They created a nice story amongst themselves, just with the ways they interacted, both in good and bad moments. I also liked that each character stuck true to their nature throughout the read.
Oh, there is also a tiny slice of romance in the read, and it added a nice spice to the mix.
Overall, I liked this read and am looking forward to seeing more from this author. There was so much that was done well in the book that I can imagine a lot of readers will love it.

I was given this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion
Hello, Bri here! I'm the artist behind Natural Bri - Pursuits of Life. This blog originally started when I moved to the UK to go to uni. I was lucky enough to meet the love of my life, and now husband, Gareth; in my university caving club. After a year of being close friends, we got engaged in the 'crazy' way that describes our life together: a 19 hour caving trip of insane proportions- involving some mental traversing, tears (scared and happy), numbness and a lot of mud; culminating in my husband going to one knee and explaining that's why we HAD to make the end. 4 years, and many adventures later we were married. He is my rock. We can't quite say we are the opposites attract flavour, we are exactly the same- copies of each other who only work when together. Together we are exploring the depths and heights of the world, and life.
