I was not aware of the Blud series when I decided to check this book out. I don't think it takes away from the story much except I was a bit curious about what a Blud was, but it didn't really hinder this story. It does make me curious enough to actually want to check out the series.Frannie is a pet shop owner in a time when live pets are a rarity. She grew up in a pet shop and knows all her fathers secrets on how to have a successful shop. One day she sees a man lying on the ground and is surprised that the bludrats haven't eat him. She helps him and gives him a place to stay at her pet shop. Casper is not an ordinary person but he is a handsome and talented musician.The night she takes in Casper someone sets her shop on fire and Frannie meets firefighter Thom Maccallan who helps her not only by putting out the fire but also by finding her lost creatures. He also helps her fix her broken window and other things that got ruined by the fire. Frannie finds herself drawn to Thom, but she is a little leery of men because of an incident that happened before.Heat definitely rises between Frannie and Thom and someone is after Frannie so Thom takes it upon himself to make sure she is safe.The Peculiar Pets of Miss Pleasance was a nice quick romantic read and I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to those who like steampunk and romantic reads.
