Beauden Somerton is dying. Despite the efforts of his father and renowned medical expert, Dr Augustus Somerton, time is running out for Beauden. So, when the research of an enterprising young medical student catches their attention, they realise she may be their last hope.
Galena Tindale fears her unorthodox research has jeopardised her chances of graduating from Edinburgh Medical College. Still, she cannot turn down an opportunity to assist the infamous Dr Somerton in a ground-breaking attempt to save his son’s life. And, as she strives to mend Beauden’s failing heart, he succeeds in capturing hers.
But not everyone wants Beauden to survive, and it's clear they'll go to violent and destructive lengths to prevent his revolutionary treatment from going ahead. But how far will they go? Will Galena manage to perform life-saving surgery before it’s too late? Or will she be forced to live in a world that doesn't include Beauden Somerton?

About the authors
Hi, I’d like to introduce myself. One of my pen names is …tada… you guessed it MC D’Alton and I have a passion for telling stories and daydreaming.
I love dark characters and have always had an odly macabre soft spot for Frankenstein. I’ve always been drawn to the darkness in a character. Why are they the way they are? Is there any good inside of them? And if so, what do I have to do to find it, love it, and make it shine?
And so, the idea of a romance starring a monster as the love interest began to bloom. Melanie, a dear writing friend, and my Iron Universe co-writer and fellow BookBaybZter asked that special question which set the wheels in motion, ‘How will any sane person fall in love with a monster?’
And so, the story began to unfold and the Iron Universe was born!

Melanie Page is a proud Queensland gal. She found her happily ever after, raised an awesome brood, got a couple of degrees and took up lion taming (sorry... high school teaching... same thing). As a budding writer she finished her first novel, got a kindle account and pressed published... She has since learned better.
Although her for love is Regency, Melanie has since moved into Steampunk, co-authoring Iron Heart and Iron Fist with MC Dalton. She has recently completed a manual on how to write short stories, aimed at students and beginning writers. Her shorter works have featured in anthologies by Romance Writers Australia and Serenity Press.

But central to this story is the romance. The development of Galena and Beaudon’s relationship is so sweet, it is heart wrenching. Also, the uncertain future they face had me in tears on occasion.
If you are looking for a novel that is innovative, suspenseful and sweet, I would highly recommend Iron Heart.

I was completely drawn into this world that MC & Melanie created and was sad to see it come to an end when I got to the last page.
Romance novels have never been my first choice of genre to read, I blame that mostly on the covers of the books and the tawdriness of the stories. But this one shattered that stereotype. The characters were so real in my mind that they lept off the pages. The setting and storytelling were beautiful and I was completely immersed.
These two wonderful authors managed to open my eyes to well-written romance and the beautifully crafted stories that they can be.
The story flowed without interruption, there were no points where I wanted to stop reading or felt like I was pulled out of the story. In fact, the more I read, the deeper I was pulled into the setting and felt like I was there with the characters. The tension was palpable in the places it needed to be. I found myself disliking Jacob and Merrick, and recoiling when I would read what they were up to.
There were times I had to force myself to put down the book, regardless of how much I wanted to continue and find out what would happen next because I wanted to give it the proper attention it deserved and not just race through.
I would definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading more from these ladies.

Characters are clearly defined and set geographically in a world of their own, with dialogue true to the time frame.
A series of conflicts builds in suspense to capture the readers and hold them tightly through the climactic finish.
The human heart is featured with all its delicate mechanisms and succeeds in engaging the heart of the reader as well.
Beautifully written, this story will remain with the reader long after and inspires the hope that love can overcome all evil.
