Overview

Indigo de Vargas is determined to exhibit her products at the Great Exhibition in Crystal Palace. Her opponents have thwarted her preparation at every turn.

Steam powers more than the submarine on this voyage. Sparks flying between Indigo and her captain may ignite a passion neither can avoid.

Sofia de Vargas' research into the Alpine Moon flower and its elixir of immortality will threaten the very existence of an ancient Scottish order. Dougal, the Earl of Rothmore must prove his loyalty to his masters, the Knights Templar, and bring her body back to Kilmarnock. Sofia is kidnapped and imprisoned on the isolated Isle of Rothmore. Is Dougal her sworn enemy...or her saviour?

Book 1: This novella is a fast paced wild ride. I enjoy the mixture of steam punk, time travel and the paranormal. Indigo de Vargas is an independent and compelling character. The mysterious Captain Zane Thoreau (Captain Dogooder) is her perfect mate. He is a mystery but underneath he is a strong, honest man. The sexual tension between these two is very satisfying. They work well together. Can they outwit their adversaries? I felt that the settings compliment this story. I love the contrast between the wild cliffs of Cornwall and the lush jungles of Peru. Annie Seaton has written a captivating story. Winter of the Passion Flower is full of passion and drama. A very pleasurable read. I'm anxious to start Summer of the Moon Flower. A sweet steampunk story with plenty of steamy romance - and I'm not just referring to the technology in the book, either. This was a fun, light read with a cohesive plot and consistent characters - always a plus. I love the concept of the biome holiday resorts Indigo runs - though I shudder to think how energy intensive maintaining them would be. Indigo was a prickly little character, with a very strange sense of fashion, but she sort of grew on me as the story progressed - or perhaps that was because Zane liked her so much. As for Zane himself...ah, he was definitely my favourite, though he certainly had his own, unusual moral code, which seemed a little strange at first. If you like steampunk or Victorian romance - definitely worth your time. Now I'm on to the next book in the series... If you love action books filled with danger, suspense, mystery and twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seats, but also like myself love when a bit of paranormal gets mixed it then this is the book for you. Annie Seaton is one of the best author of our time and she delivers every time. Be it a good old fashioned romance or a steam-punk or call it paranormal action suspense, you name it this author can give me as reader everything I expect from her books. In Summer of the moon flower she has certainly done so again. The book had enough action and suspense to make a James Bond movie look like a low budget action gone wrong. Not to mention the paranormal and steam-punk elements, that were so stunningly combined and incorporated brining forth a tale of a heroine that will stay with me as reader for a long time. The author has a particular unique manner of writing that leaves me as reader with vivid descriptions, amazing time zones and memorable characters. The book left me with the impression that woman heroic or not can and will prove their worth if given the chance.I will add that the author not only brings that message into full play but also just blows you away! The book kept me on the edge of my seat, seeking more to find the answers and hidden message beneath. This was not only a emotional and memorable read but one that will leave you entranced and wanting more.
