One day, she reads the newspaper on how they are looking for one person to find an invention of historical importance” to honor Queen Victoria. She blames herself on what happened to her father since she was always there to lend a hand with his inventions. Her family’s world comes to a complete halt though when her father dies from one of his inventions he was working on. Although, there are some people who will thrive for the change and will want more to change their future.Īmelia Darcy has always had a fascination with what her father comes up with, especially when it involves the sky. “Her Sky Cowboy” is definitely a book that will take you back in time, but with a twist of time-travel and how if the past is altered…things will definitely change and not everyone is willing to accept it. I was intrigued by the description of “Her Sky Cowboy” and looked forward to diving into this new series by Beth Ciotta. Let me first say, this was my first ever Steampunk novel that I’ve read…and it definitely will not be my last. But her quest is altered when her kitecycle crashes into the air ship of ex–Air Marshal-and scandalous dime novel hero-Tucker Gentry.Ĭhallenged by political unrest, a devious sky pirate, and their own sizzling attraction, Amelia and Tuck are dragged into an international conspiracy that could change the course of history…again. Their only hope to save the family name and fortune is to embark on a contest to discover an invention of historical importance in honor of Queen Victoria.Īrmed with only her father’s stories of a forgotten da Vinci workshop, a mechanically enhanced falcon, and an Italian cook, Amelia takes flight for Florence, Italy. But when her father, an eccentric inventor, dies, the Darcy siblings are left with scrap metal-and not a penny to their names. Her heart belongs to the sky and the dirigibles of brass and steel that swoop over Victorian England.
