Clockwork Tangerine is a succulent morsel of steam punk that leaves you hungry for more. You can zip through it in an evening or in a morning before work.  In such a short work, the remarkable Rhys manages to wind the sexual tension so tight you're actually relieved when she finally gets her very interesting characters, Marcus Viscount of Westwood and the brilliant inventor Robin Harris, into bed.  There is a down side, however. Although Marcus is an observant and thorough narrator, like Sirius before me, I found myself wanting more. More conversation.  More scenes.  More of Marcus and Robin together. I would have liked more of Marcus' grandmother, too. What a gal!  Hopefully, Clockwork Tangerine will turn out to be an hors d'oeuvre.  If Ms. Ford ever thinks of cooking up a full length book about these guys, I'm first in line to pre-order.
