Armored Hearts
When a crippled young lord rescues a girl falling from a tree, it reveals a secret about himself and his mother’s side of the family that could put him at the center of a war with beings he thought only existed in fariytales.
Tristan Gareth Smyth lived his entire life stuck at home at Waverly Park and left behind while his Grandfather makes trips to London, all because of his blasted wheelchair.
Then an American heiress falls in his lap, literally, and he must find a way to keep her at a distance to protect not only his secret, but everyone around him from an assassin sent to kill him.

My review:
I absolutely am a fan of this genre now. By this genre, I mean steampunk. I had never read anything like Armored Hearts before, and when I first heard the genre I was honestly a little scared. When I first sat down to read, getting into the story was going to take a little bit just because it was not the thriller or love story that I am normally drawn to read.
Gareth is the main character, and he is a Lord in this Victorian era. He is limited to a wheelchair and he doesn’t let you forget how much he loathes it. The only person that he really talks to is his Aunt Tabitha. He is very unhappy, but I was so glad when he met Jessamine. It brought a whole new element to the story. She wants to help him and is determined to do so.
It was very interesting to read about this point in time. I am now a fan of this series. There is a 0.5 called Winter Fae that I still need to read! Even though I was not quite sure what to expect from this genre of writing, it was worth the read and went by almost too quickly.
Definitely make sure that you pick it up. You will not be disappointed, and your reading horizons will be broadened!
