The best friends are transported back to the Victorian era in the weeks leading up to the Great Exhibition of , where they encounter Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, their great grandparents several times over. Upon their arrival, Edmund leaves Alice alone for a while, during which time she chances to meet the Prime Minister and one of his closest allies in Parliament, Grayson Kentfield, Lord Swinton. Alice and Grayson immediately hit it off and before she knows it, their lives become intertwined.

    Between her and Edmund, Alice has always been the level-headed one, but whenever she's around Grayson, her heart always seems to take over. Soon she finds herself head over heels in love with the handsome Earl, but she knows that the relationship cannot possibly last. Alice suspects that Edmund is about to leave a dinosaur-sized footprint in the historical time line, and as soon as she figures out what he's up to and puts a stop to it, she'll have to return to her own time.

    But Grayson has other ideas and isn't about to let Alice get away so easily. Victorian Scoundrel was my first steampunk romance, and I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The steam-powered machines were seamlessly woven into the storyline, so that I hardly noticed the oddity of their presence in the historical setting.

    Time travel also played a big role in the plot with the author exploring the ramifications of time travelers doing things that might alter the time line which is something I always enjoy thinking about. There was a decent dose of history too, with real-life personages, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, their three oldest children, and Prime Minister John Russell playing secondary roles.

    See a Problem?

    Prince Albert and his work organizing the Great Exhibition of was a pivotal part of the plot. Readers even get a two-for-one on the romance element. I can say without reservation that the romance was truly romantic to me, and it's been a while since I've read a book where that was true. The sexual tension was wonderful, and while there were only two moderately descriptive love scenes between one of the two couples, they were very sensual.

    Everything just melded together into a fun, engaging story that was really a pleasure to read. Instead of having only two main protagonists, Victorian Scoundrel has four and all of them are very likable.
