4.5 starsThe first thing I noticed and loved was the cover. This is the first time I've read any of Cecilia Robert's work and I'm really glad I gave it a try. I love finding new authors and unique stories and this one is definitely unique. It's a cross between steampunk and paranormal. There are shifters, humans with talent and a mixture of the two. Good writing and Great world building brought the story to life.Sera is a woman with secrets and hurts. She is living with outcast to hide both of these, but in the five years since she ran from her mate she's forgotten to keep looking over her shoulder. It hasn't been easy for her to survive. Sera has had to change from the young lady she was to the strong capable woman she's become. What she's had to do and undergo to survive has made her one badazz heroine. When I found out what her big secret was my heart just broke for the innocent and vulnerable girl she used to be. I was impressed with Sera's determination and strength to overcome her past and continue to move forward.Levian is an Alpha in the best way. Hot, loving, tender, and most importantly faithful. He also has a very forgiving heart for those he loves. He has suffered for five years without his mate and in this novella he finds Sera and learns why she ran away. The conflicting emotions are portrayed perfectly. One minute he's furious and a bit cold and mean; the next he can't keep his hands off of Sera.I did not get enough of Levian and Sera! I sincerely hope the next Cloaked Devices is a continuation of their story. I would recommend this to anyone that likes a love story and/or paranormal romances. It's also a great read for anyone who's never read steampunk; it's a gentle introduction into the genre.(I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.)
