HTML: Ava McLaren is tired of being both a virgin, and a mere laboratory assistant for the Company of Rogues. When a baffling mystery rears its head, it presents her with the opportunity to work a real case... and perhaps get a taste of the passion that eludes her. Blue bloods are dying from a mysterious disease, which should be impossible. Ava suspects there's more to the case than meets the eye and wants a chance to prove herself. Thereâ??s just one catchâ??sheâ??s ordered to partner with the sexy mech, Kincaid, who's a constant thorn in her side. Kincaid thinks the only good blue blood is a dead one. He's also the very last man she would ever give her heart toâ?¦ which makes him the perfect candidate for an affair.
But when an attempt on her life proves that Ava might be onto something, the only one who can protect her is Kincaid. Suddenly the greatest risk is not to their hearts, but whether they can survive a diabolical plot that threatens to destroy every blue blood in Londonâ??incl Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Series note: Ava's character is first introduced in book #4 of the first London Steampunk series. There are also numerous references to events from that series as well as the first book in this spin-off, and as such, it is recommended that the books be read in order.
The Company of Rogues continues to investigate the mystery surrounding the Dhampire conspiracy. When several blue bloods are found dead from a mysterious disease, Nighthawk criminologist, Ava McLaren, is partnered with the enigmatic mech, Liam Kincaid, to investigate the sinister case.
Despite her interest in autopsies and toxic plants, Ava McLaren is a shy, sweet and endearing heroine, and it is wonderful to see her coming out of her shell as Kincaid literally seduces the pants off her. Kincaid is incredibly sexy and his backstory is particularly compelling. The manner in which he copes with his personal traumas and ultimately overcomes his prejudices against blue bloods due to his association with Ava is inspiring.
Ava and Kincaid have the best chemistry since Blade and Honoria (Kiss of Steel) and their physical relationship is one of the more earthy and steamy in both this and the prior series. While the resolution to their HEA is quite obvious from the start, it is still delightful to experience Ava and Kincaid's journey toward love and fulfillment.
Unlike the first book, the actual conspiracy plot takes a back seat to the romance. Nevertheless, there are several exciting action scenes and one or two twists along the way.
Overall, an excellent continuation and I am looking forward to Gemma and Obsidian's book next. It will be interesting to see how McMaster rehabilitates his character. ( )
