This was not my favorite of the series so far (the first one was fine!), but I will continue on and see if I like the third one. First of all, I found the inclusion of the Shiva tattoo to be ..... a choice. I don't know, I just felt it was unnecessary and if you're going to do something like this, as a white writer, you need to do your due diligence and you *need* to hire sensitivity readers. I appreciate whenever historical romance tries to add commentary on the racism, sexism, colonization, etc. of the time, but you still need to do it with immense care.

Tristan & Lucie were okay; I do enjoy a slow burn because I love the unraveling of each character and the final ultimate "okay fine you have broken down my walls and I want you!" That is always delicious. However, I just could not find the male love interest that redeemable. Was he charismatic and had his sweet moments? Yes, absolutely. I just didn't feel he redeemed himself, that's all!

Steam was a 2.5/5

Nice read. The story was mainly focused on the main characters, but didnt go into much depth storywise. You can read it as a standalone as its set after the events of the first book.

Re-reading the series to get ready for the 4th and final book. I really liked the dynamic of the main characters and I was rooting for Lucie to find someone that she could rely on (she takes on a lot of responsibility). I found the order of the series interesting, and feel like her story should have been last. There are some issues with the book concerning diversity (e.g., cultural issues and insensitivities), and negative characterizations of lgbtq+ characters, which I think should definitely be discussed if this book is chosen for a book club.
