It’s hard to rate this book because I adored some of the stories, but thought the writing of others left a lot to be desired (haha see what I did there). My favorite hands down was the last one - “Rescue My Heart” by Anya Richards. Overall, I was hoping for more diverse stories; the vast majority were very heteronormative.

The Steampunk era is really fantastic setting for sex. I loved the mix of machinery and flesh. Holla!
*Iron Hard by Sylvia Day: Vibrating Copper Fingers FTW! Seriously. You need know nothing else about this one but vibrating copper fingers.
*Heart of the Deadalus by Saskia Walker in Steamlust: Nothing like a good sword fight to get those juices flowin! And the Deadalus creation was wicked cool. I want one! The author's use of puss had me giggle like an immature idiot. That word cracks me up.
*Fog, Flight & Moonlight by Sacchi Green in Steamlust: Sex in a hot air balloon FTW! But not very good sex. Lost potential. I did love Maddy though. What a spunky gem of a whore she was.
There are more stories, but these are the first three...

El Steampunk es un género con el que tuve desencuentros en el pasado y ya lo consideraba un asunto cerrado. O sea, ¿yo? ¿Leer Steampunk? No, gracias. Ya pasé por esto, ¿no? No. Porque cuando a "Steampunk" le agregas el adjetivo "erótico" aparentemente se transforma en algo que puedo leer sin querer llorar del aburrimiento.
"Steamlust" es una antología de Steampunk erótico, una combinación tan inesperada que funciona.
Está lleno de dirigibles, automatas, máquinas a vapor, engranajes, y ropa victorianamente hermosa. Y también está lleno de erotismo y escenas sexuales muy explícitas y muy... Muy mucho, básicamente. De verdad, algunas son UN MONTÓN. Pero eso es algo que me gusta, no una queja, ustedes entienden

Meh. Only like 3 stories had me considering looking up the author. There were a few that were so terrible I considered DNF'ing the rest of the book.

this book? it was bad.
i'm a huge sylvia day fan and love steampunk so i was ECSTATIC to find out about this book and then see a copy of it at my library.
my theory is that there was a very strict word/page count for each story. every one tried to cram in too much information; all aspired to have significant worldbuilding, likeable characters, and hot sex. it's a pick two situation, with most really not even managing that.
one of the stories, "green cheese," was also super racist. i will never understand how people can put in steam-powered flying aircrafts in an alternate reality but still stick to colonialist history. it's boring, do better.
i kept reading this because each story was so short, i kept thinking the next one has to be better, just finish this one, and i was so fucking wrong. i finished reading this today solely so i do not have to get up and open this book again tomorrow.
there is nothing good here. sylvia day's story is the first one, and she suffers from the same pacing issues as the rest of the authors.
do not read this.
