About this listen
Astrid Bailey is content living alone, balancing her career as a contract machinist with her true passion: making “felicitation devices” for her discerning female clients.
At the upcoming World’s Fair, with its substantial cash prize, there's an opportunity for her to open the shop she’s always imagined and solve her financial woes. With questionable credentials, though, she’s unable to enter without a reputable businessman to vouch for her.
Eli Rutledge, noted watchmaker, needs to enter the World’s Fair to maintain his reputation as an innovator, but he’s fresh out of ideas. With no other options, he agrees to Astrid’s proposal, lending his good name to her scandalous invention. When construction heats up, so does their chemistry - and the complications. Astrid is unaccustomed to accepting help, especially from a privileged businessman like Eli, even if she can’t keep her hands off him. Eli is losing his fight to an attraction that could spell professional disaster and heartbreak.
As the Fair date approaches, Astrid and Eli must decide how far they’ll go for the business...and for each other.
Combustion contains steamy f/f m/f encounters and gratuitous liberties in an alternative-history steampunk London (all in the quest for happily ever after).

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old.

Combustion Ignites
This was a steampunk romance, set in the Victorian era. Astrid is a businesswoman in a time when women were restricted from fully participating in society. She creates felicitation devices for women's pleasure. She has a hard time making a go of it until she decides to try and enter a business fair. That brings her to respected businessman Eli's attention. The two are instantly attracted and fighting points of view. Along the way devices are tested and tried.
This is a well written book that incorporates toys as a natural part of sex and the scenes are realistic and hot. I really enjoyed Astrid because she was knowledgeable about sex instead of being the timid virgin. I also liked the fact that Eli was a typical alpha jerk. Each learned to grow and trust each other. A fabulous book with plenty of steam and two sexy British narrators.
