Their love rides on a spring and a prayer…

During the recent Civil War, a soldier risked his life to save Jonathan Handleston—and lost. With the help of an advanced metal brace on his crippled hand, Jon now travels from one poker tournament to the next, determined to earn enough money to repay the man’s debt.

Prosperity Ridge is supposed to be the last stop on his quest, but his brace is broken and he needs an engineer to repair the delicate mechanisms. The only one available is Samantha Weatherly, a beautiful anomaly in a world ruled by men.

Sam is no fool. Jon is no different from any other gambler—except for his amazing prosthetic. Despite a demanding project to win a critical contract to develop an iron horse, she succumbs to the lure of working on the delicate mechanisms. And working with the handsome Englishman.

Like a spring being coiled, Samantha and Jon are inexorably drawn together. Sam begins to realize honor wears many faces, and she becomes the light at the end of Jon’s journey to redemption. The only monkey wrench is Victor, a rival gambler who will stop at nothing to make sure Jon misses the tournament. Even destroy Jon’s and Sam’s lives.

Warning Contains crazed card games, gears and springs galore and a wild ride that’ll have you panting at the end of the book.

Okay, so some people I work with referred to this story as part-romance novel... Frankly I was worried. Had I turned into even more of old fart than my kids currently envision me?

I've concluded no! I may be an old fart (there is no arguing with kids), but the book was great. I enjoyed its fast moving pace and the mixture of a great setting (albeit different), ambiguous time, and wonderful characters. There was just enough of everything to keep me hooked and race through to the end. I just wish, I had the next installment ready to pick up where this one left off. Clearly, there is more that could be extended off of this story line.

Wild Cards and Iron Horses edition by Sheryl Nantus Romance eBooks Reviews


Prosperity Ridge is a very dirty steampunk Wild West with polluted air, gas masks, mechanical beasts and lots of poker. The story revolves around Jonathan and Samantha, two likeable characters making the best of their situations and finding a little romance along the way. I had trouble slowing down to read the book and often flipped a page before I was done reading it!
When Jon Handleston steps off the train in Prosperity Ridge, little does he realize that he will find much more than what he came there for. A reputable gambling man with a debt of honor to pay, Jon has come to the American Wild West for one of the biggest poker playing championships of the year. In addition to the quest of claiming a pot of money if he wins, he has an immediate need for a mechanic who can repair small gear and clockwork mechanisms. During his long journey westward, his mechanical prosthetic arm is injured and in need of a hard to replace spring. Inquiring at the train station as to who might be able to assist him, little Gil Grassfeathers, an adorable homeless imp, steers him in the direction of an odd sooty faced, dipped in grease woman named Samantha Weatherly, the best mechanic west of the Mississippi.

While working on the newest invention of steam driven iron horses that will revolutionize the future of stagecoaches, Samantha is delightfully interrupted by Jon and his mechanical marvel. Not only does Jon fascinate her, he gallantly leads her down an all new path of a different kind of steam! Handsome and nothing but a gentleman, Jon confronts Sam and her father Jake with his unusual dilemma. If he can't repair his mechanical arm in time for the poker tournament, he will lose the chance to pay his debt to a man who saved his life during the recent Civil War. Intrigued by this fascinating new technology, Sam takes on the challenge to attempt to repair it without knowing that nothing but danger and intrigue is headed her way. For Jon Handleston is a talented poker player who has beat the best in the west and now has evil enemies that intend to sabotage his every chance at winning.

Action, mystery, and a charming sweet romance all stir together nicely to blend with a sci-fi western steampunk story that is just too fun for words. Sheryl Nantus has created a wonderful and inventive mechanical steam world filled with airships and steam breathing horses that catapult readers right into an ingenius mix of both past and future worlds together.

This novel is so full of ingenuity and charm you can't help but smile as each page is turned. Wild Cards and Iron Horses is a light and easy breath of fresh air for lovers of steampunk that want a fresh new look at this rather new sub-genre of science fiction. Nantus' writing style is crisp and clean, her character development excellent. This reader would have loved to have seen just a little more detail and substance to the novel, but for what it was intended for it's a five star read! Just delightful! I would enjoy seeing the author use this first story as a pilot for an ongoing series of fun adventures in the wild west. Bravo Sheryl, great job, neat story!
