review 1: Now in the past few months I have really gotten into steam punk romances. I love the genre, it is unique, mysterious, intriguing and engaging. Hatshepsut's Collar does not disappoint! I was engaged by page two and I didn't stop until I was done! A.W. Exley is one of my new go to authors, I can't wait to read the other books in the series. First off, the cover is amazing! I mean, look at it. How can you not want to pick up this book and read it! The collars stand out and the graphic on the front is unique and different. I love it. It's what drew me to the book in the first place!Cara is an amazing main character! I thought she was extremely well developed and engaging. I loved the relationship between Nate and Cara. Even when they are mad at each other. But as everyone know... mores it is never good to keep a secret from someone your in a relationship with, much less a big one. I loved the setting in this book! It was an amazing take on old England. The setting was descriptive, well written and intriguing. But on top of everything else, it was unique. The plot moved along nicely. It fully grabbed the readers attention and locked you in. All in all, this book was a pleasurable read! I enjoyed every minute of it!
review 2: We are back again to Cara & Nate, a short few months after the ending of book one, NEFERTITI'S HEART. I was worried about the whole "second book" thing, where it just doesn't live up to the expectations of the first, but let me assure you that Ms. Exley is not one of those who have fallen victim to that. If anything, this book is even better than the first, with more highly charged emotions and sexual tension between our hero and heroine, more on the line as the crown gets involved, and these wonderful side characters who, in a few short paragraphs, attach themselves firmly to the reader as someone you like.Adventurous, action-packed, and touching, when Cara finds out that her new love had dealings with her father, she is incredibly upset. She isn't given time to process it, however, or make her anger known as the second after she learns about it, the front door is broken down and Nate is arrested! The crown is after Nate and demanding the return of some object that Cara doesn't know about. Cara needs to solve the problem and save Nate so she can kill him herself for lying by omission.This was a kindle-bruiser, just like book one and I absolutely loved it. I hope that this series lasts as long as J.D. Robb's In Death series (up to book 38 now, I think?!) as they track down artifact after artifact, keeping the two main characters as well as their friends and adding more and more. I will read each and every one of them. Romantic, a hero that doesn't suffocate the heroine despite his instincts to put her in a cage to protect her, a heroine that understands that need and yet is willing to walk away from love to stay true to herself, tons of action, rakish friends, a grandmother and aunt who are as hilarious and outspoken as Grandma Mazur (Janet Evanovich), I can't get enough and eagerly await the next installment. less

Nate's character was better in the first book I think (I loved to hate him in Neferiti's Heart!)
