Reviews:
"Phoebe is the daughter of a well to do lawyer, Mort is a watchmaker. While she had engineered an animated statue to enhance love making, Mort is hiding a past that would threaten his life and friends from his childhood. If he allows Phoebe into his world it will also threaten her reputation and life.
When Phoebe’s father tries to force her into marrying the objectionable Sir Dugard, she resists and Mort comes to her aid.
This is a fascinating Victorian era love story. It travels from the affluent house of Phoebe’s family to the slums of Whitechapel. In the background is the mysterious Doggett who holds Mort’s life and future in his hands. A lot of the story is shrouded in mystery and the couple find their budding romance is fraught with problems, and even Phoebe’s best friend turns against her.
Murder, theft, blackmail all these are present at one stage or other of the story. It also shows a view of the stews of the east end of London. This is one of those books I couldn’t put down. I read it in one day as I wanted to know what happened."

"This honey-sweet audio, featuring a headstrong heroine with spunk in spades and a thieving anti-hero is such a romantic story! Juli D. Revezzo took the bones of a plot that is used quite often and made it her own by adding steampunk touches, mystery, intrigue...it stays on the lighter side of dark, never becoming too intense which makes for a languid listen." ~Ind'Tales
The book is also available to borrow in Kindle Unlimited.
Juli D. Revezzo is the author of the steampunk and Victorian Romances, Courting the Stationmaster's Daughter (Camden Girls, book one), Watchmaker's Heart and more, and the Antique Magic paranormal series, among others. Her books are available at Amazon and elsewhere.
