What a shame! The steampunk-styled storyline of a demond/human hybrid Dickensian London has so much potential and I was so excited to get lost in that world. But the book comes up short with dialogue that is mediocre if not trite at times. It's too bad because Roxanne is an interesting woman with many admirable qualities, and I really appreciated Holly portraying her as normal sized woman; how refreshing, but Adrian just never engaged me. Some sweet moments of kissing, but most of the romance scenes weren't particularly thrilling. Even the photo illustration (as handsome at that model is) doesn't jive in tone and style with the story.
