Does she really deserve their Love after what she's done?, April 19 2012
By cathyr - Published on Amazon.com
Book 2 "Steampunked Lust". Preceded by Steam Powered Passion. No further books at the time of this review.
Plot:
Kidnapped by BadGuys, sold on the auction block, saved by Tristan and Liam, Yzzi's life is finally looking up. But will they get their HEA after all their secrets are revealed?
Comments:
- Alternate history (steampunk) erotic romance with frequent explicit sex scenes.
- 3224 kindle locations, 53,277 words.
- m/f, m/m, and m/f/m - explicit, very frequent. m/m is explicit in and out of menage. Jewellery, anal, double-v penetration. A pre-existing m/m relationship Yzzi is invited into, for a committed threesome.
- Book1 follows the story of Yzzi's sister Tori, and her lovers Malcolm and Sean. In Book1 we met Yzzi, as well as Liam and Tristan. However, it is not necessary to have read Steam Powered Passion to enjoy "Steamed up Memories".
- Some slight proof-reading issues in my e-version; enough to irritate but not so bad as to ruin the story flow.
- Ms Davies appears to be working on a third "Steampunked Lust" book. "Steam Driven Seduction" - Kass' story. Should be good!
Opinion:
Quite a dramatic start as Yzzi is sold on the auction block. What should be a fast-paced story strides along with many sexual interludes and not quite enough plot to do the book justice. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it. I just wanted more. Maybe drop a couple of bedroom encounters so we can embrace the steampunkiness, and get further into the slave trade and Bad Government we are only given a taste of. Of course, I would find it difficult to pick which one I'd drop - they are all pretty hot. But it isn't my place to decide, is it? At the end of the day "Steamed Up Memories" just missed it's mark. I wanted more story and feel gipped I wasn't given it.
4 stars. An original setting with *lots* of steamy, varied sex. But too many editing issues and not enough overall plot to bump it to 5.

Heart Wrenching Emotions, Mar 17 2012
By Kelly @ Books-n-Kisses "Books-n-Kisses" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Steamed Up Memories [Steampunked Lust 2] (Siren Publishing Menage Everlasting) (Paperback)
Review by Flying Frog Fairy:
Slave traders, spies and a forgotten past. This book has them all, along with a healthy dose of steamy sex. Corinne Davies has done it again! I was eager to read her follow up to Steamed Powered Passion and I was very pleased when I did. This book grabbed my interest and never let it go. I read the entire book in one sitting. Once again, there is rich detail in the fantastic world building. More off the wall inventions and unbelievable technology. Even more secret lives and people who aren't who they seem. Did I mention I love this book? The fast pace and intrigue make for a very satisfying read.
There was also plenty of heart wrenching emotions. I waited in agony for Yzabeau to finally realize that Liam was the boy from her childhood. And I wanted to hold Liam and tell him it wasn't his fault. I waited with bated breath for Yzabeau's memory to finally come back. And my heart hurt for Tristan as he desperately tried to keep them all together. It is a story of lust and love, triumph and treason, and ultimately good wins out over evil.
For now.
