1 Star

Jack and his sister, Haley, are thrown into the past due to an explosion in his lab. They wake up in the hold of a steampunk airship commanded by Octavia. A woman who's been very capable of taking care of herself looooooong before Jack showed up. Insta-affection from Jack to the Captain. Jack is Quaker who has no problem cussing, and is a pacifist. His macho attitude is a bit stupid considering he has no idea where he really is, what's going on, or who's who in Octavia's world. He's "the man" and feels it's his duty to step in front of those who he cares for and danger....yet he doesn't want to hold a gun. He's basically a 21st century nerd. Guess he's feeling his alpha sneaking through? Much of this book was cliche. Fransisco sexual advance towards Octavia was over the top, and Jack wasn't much better. There aren't many steampunk romances out there and good ones aren't the norm....sigh.

This was a Hoopla Audio....
