 Ahhh superb. Just superb. An emotionally scarred, secretly gentle beast of a man and a driven and highly perceptive intelligent young lady. I loved it! I have to say though, I don't see where it's got its description of 'Jane Eyre meets Beauty and the Beast.' from (Says this on goodreads). Honestly, I know little about few classics, but from what I do know it seemed to have more of a Pride and Prejudice feel to it. But maybe that's because I have a suspicion that if I ever get up the courage to read it it might just be my favourite classic so I compare everything to what I know of it. But then perhaps I'm grasping at straws because Beauty and the Beast is my favourite fairytale [retelling] and I'm also a fan of steampunk so the prospect of having all three mixed in together is just spectacular. I need a hardback copy of this book now please! It's most definitely a 2016 favourite. 
 I have to say Lucy is probably my favourite character. She's strong and driven and pretty sensible and I found it quite refreshing. I know that Miles certainly did too and while some of the plot points weren't well hidden, the whole thing was so well written I didn't really care. I loved reading about how Lucy surprised Miles and she did it was such regularity you'd think he'd have learnt to expect nothing when it came to her, but he's got some time to work on it. I especially loved her reaction to his secret, for a minute there I thought she'd let me down horribly, but I should have had faith in her, I'm sorry Lucy! 
 I'd love to know more about this world and I'd like to see some other happy endings going on too. I do feel like there were a few things that weren't fully addressed so I'm really hoping that this is NOT in actual fact a stand alone and the rest of the gentlemen will get their own fairytales. Jonathan and Kate can be the prequel with Cinderella! Though, they weren't nearly as exciting as Miles and Lucy (perhaps because they were secondary characters so they weren't as fleshed out?) 
 I discovered as I began to write this that there's a novella with my copy that's a prequel of Marie, Miles's sister but I'm not sure I want to read it, knowing how she ends up in all of this. Perhaps if it had been at the start I'd have been more inclined to read it, but after the end of the book, I'm happy with what happened and I don't want to be dragging it backwards through my heart again...
