Homecoming is a steampunk/shifter fantasy short story following panther shifter Levian Grayson as he tracks down his errant mate to bring her home and Sera Czedar, the errant mate with a secret to hide.I've never read a book by Cecilia Robert before and now I feel like I've been missing out.  This short story is so well written and packed with emotion and rich descriptions that I couldn't put it down.  I was so engrossed in the unfolding story I spent an entire afternoon and read it from beginning to end with no pauses.  The characters are fantastically rendered and it was just so easy to empathize with them that I actually found my eyes tearing up in some places.I adored all the characters in this short story, but none more than Levian. He's so loving and sweet, but yet powerful and dominant. *swoon*. The all-encompassing, all-consuming, and unconditional way he loves Sera was just heartwarming. Sera was a really relatable heroine who isn't perfect and has made some big mistakes, but she's never given up and she's thrived in the face of the obstacles thrown at her. The only character I wasn't too fond of was Tegue, Levian's twin brother, whom I felt was a giant man-boy and was let off the hook for his irresponsible actions again and again, but he was still loyal (in his own way) and seemed willing to make changes.I can't recommend this book highly enough. If you love paranormal romance, shifter stories, or steampunk fantasy I recommend picking it up. I am dying to get my hands on the series this book is setting up.*I received a free ARC of this book to review
