Honestly, I wish the author had kept the reasons why Caleb was on the run and hiding for a bit longer. I quite enjoyed the little clues that were given through the beginning of the story, keeping me guessing. Just a personal preference and it doesn't mean to say that the story lost its charm once the mystery was disclosed, quite the contrary. Because there was the burgeoning romance between Caleb and Philip...if, of course, Caleb managed to slip through the net of whoever wanted him dead.

Gearheart, as a town, was rundown and nearly dying, but it was a home for a colorful crowd of people. Most importantly, a home for Caleb (and maybe Philip?). Gearheart, as a story, was an intricate combination of romance, historical and steampunk, of past and present, and surprises. I definitely didn't see coming some of the things that happened, especially toward the ending.

Recommended.
