The story was good, about novella length. I would cite that as an excuse for not being fleshed out enough but there are many other authors who are able to flesh out a novella very well. The story is a light blending of paranormal romance, steampunk and fantasy. The steampunk didn't really seem to blend all that well with the rest and felt a trifle forced. If I had known it was an offshoot of Harlequin I probably would not have downloaded it, even with it being free. I just don't really enjoy gratuitous and graphic sex in a book I suppose. Mostly I think it's an unnecessary addition. I'm well familiar with it myself and would rather do it than have every painstaking detail described. The mystery of the story was a little obvious and the end felt a bit rushed. Show, don't tell. All in all it wasn't a bad, quick read and if any of the elements interest you it's worth a download.
