I'm going to have a hard time finding a book to read to follow this one. I just loved it! Yasmeen is a strong heroine who doesn't have to be weak to be loved. Archimedes is a strong man who is ok with Yasmeen being his captain. 
 I really loved the adventure of the book, too! There were several times where I thought "No! That's not really happening!" and then kept reading to find out it was and to enjoy the new twists and turns that happened because of it. I highly recommend this book. I think it would probably stand alone, but why deny yourself the pleasure of Here There Be Monsters, The Iron Duke, and the novella in Wild & Steamy?! Go! Read them all now!
