Carrick House (Magnificent Devices Novella)

by Shelley Adina

Overview

Who said life is but a dream after the wedding?

Married eight months, Lady Claire Trevelyan and Dr. Andrew Malvern are blissfully working together on a new invention, and providing a home for a collection of street sparrows. Then Claire's mother, the redoubtable Lady Jermyn, arrives with her family in tow and expects to stay indefinitely ... Peony Churchill turns up on the doorstep with valise in hand ... and raffish cousin Claude comes for a visit ...

While separately any of these would be most welcome, together they are overwhelming. Claire and Andrew flee to Athena for a bit of breathing room. But the last thing they expect is to have their airship hijacked ... with Claire's little brother Nicholas still aboard ...

Carrick House is the 13th book in the Magnificent Devices steampunk series. Books 13-16 are short reads in the "Manor House" miniseries and can be read separately. No strong language, just a very proper kiss or two and a satisfying solution. If you like books by Gail Carriger, Lindsay Buroker, or Emma Jane Holloway, you're in the right place. Enjoy!

Editorial Reviews

"An immensely fun series with some excellent anti-sexist messages, a wonderful main character (one of my favourites in the genre) and a great sense of Victorian style and language that's both fun and beautiful to read."

Fangs for the Fantasy - Renee and Paul

"Adina is a literary master in her field."

Bookloons.com - Leslie McKee

"Adina manages to lure us into the steampunk era with joy and excitement. Her plotline is strong and the cast of characters well interwoven. It's Adina's vivid descriptions of Victorian London that make you turn the pages."
