An invention gone wrong. A city buried in snow. And she only has ‘til Christmas to make it right.

Aurelia Sundon has an idea for a brilliant invention that will ensure her family’s financial future. But the elite inventor’s guild has imposed a ridiculous deadline for invention applications: Christmas Day. With only four days until the deadline, Aurelia thinks she can finish it in time.

Until her old love Frederick Grandville steps back into her life when he enters the competition with his own invention. Frederick could be the downfall of Aurelia’s career. Again. But when his invention goes out of control, the wondrous snow it brings down on the ever-sunny city of Soldark turns into an outright blizzard.

With a broken promise between them, she’s not so sure she wants to help him. But the clock is ticking, the snow is getting deeper, and Aurelia must find a way to team up with her rival or risk losing her one chance at a better life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas with a strong female protagonist

Not your typical Christmas story. This story follows the determination of one woman to pursue her dreams, face her past and let in just a bit of the magic that Christmas promises.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fusion of Austin and Steampunk
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024

I got all 4 books in the set after meeting Liz at a fall festival promoting her books.

I really love the concept of the fusion of Jane Austin and Steampunk, making the character style a bit more modern but maintaining the feel of old fashioned romance. Aurelia is a great character.

The other books have some cross-reference to each other. It would have been nice to see Caz writing a story about the weather or the invention.

It would be nice to see more novella in Soldark with new main characters who live there at the same time as the first four.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas and clockwork
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2020

The Clockwork Ice Dragon is a delightful holiday tale of high hopes and determination. It's also a light romance, about a guy just trying to impress a girl. He goes about it all wrong.

It's also a cautionary tale about how people do not know how to drive in snow.

I loved the fun steampunk aesthetic of this story.

It would make a fun read for any time of the year but it setting it at Christmas time added a certain context of wonder that just made it more special.

Fun little steampunk novella with a smart, inventor protagonist. I enjoyed that she didn't need to be saved and that it was her hard work and brains that made her awesome.

I picked up this story based on the title and wasn't disappointed. I've read some steampunk, but this was the first piece that had a Christmas theme to it. The best part was the author's descriptive prose, creating a technological picture I could see easily in my mind.

What not to like? Inventions, mystery, and thrills. This was truly fun romance twisted around a steampunk theme. I’m looking for more of these stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars one small quibble, otherwise great
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2022
Sometimes you just need something cozy.
This is a simple, sweet, short book that has some good holiday feelings. Fun steampunk world with some cool design elements and an overall likeable heroine and love interest. It might've been higher on the list, but the eventually revealed reason for the rift between them was, to me, a misunderstanding that should never have happened (like could've been resolved almost instantly with a quick talk sort of issue with the main character choosing to believe something overheard from someone who she would have not reason to trust and never bothering to ask her boyfriend if said thing was actually true before just writing him off forever.). Maybe people do this in real life, but when you have an otherwise fairly level headed MC do it, it always bugs me. That said, the relationship rift is a backdrop to the story, not the story itself, so you can enjoy the book even if that is irritating to you.

This was such a cozy, wonderful story! A perfect snowy, wintry story to read in this insane heat of July. I adored the characters, and the story was interesting and unique.
