I've read plenty of Jules Verne, as well as the Leviathan trilogy, and Airborne; all of which I've liked. I'm looking for something with action and, if possible, a romantic sub-plot. Something set in Europe or an airship would be prefered, but isn't nescesary.

Mortal Engines Quartet by Philip Reeve
"The book is set in a post-apocalyptic world, ravaged in ages past by a nuclear holocaust known as the "Sixty Minute War," which caused massive geological upheaval. To escape the earthquakes, volcanoes and other instabilities, a Nomad leader called Nikola Quercus, who changed his name to Nikolas Quirke, designed a system known as Municipal Darwinism, where entire cities essentially become immense vehicles known as Traction Cities, and must consume one another in order to maintain themselves in a world deprived of most natural resources. Although the planet has since become stable again, Traction Cities are still used despite originally having been intended to escape from natural disasters, and the new world order continues"

Read the INFERNAL DEVICES series by Cassandra Clare, its a sort of prequel to her MORTAL INSTRUMENT series and is about a group of demon hunters with angel blood called Shadowhunters. Infernal Devices is set in 19th century London. There is romance, action and tons of thrill. Enjoy the books: CLOCKWORK ANGEL, CLOCKWORK PRINCE and CLOCKWORK PRINCESS (out in 2013).
