Flotilla #2

Keeping Time

Rate this book
Melinda Stafford, an inspector with London’s Office of Historic Preservation is assigned to oversee the renovation of a historic building along the River Thames that the Flotilla Project is converting into living spaces for those in need.


She wasn’t prepared to meet a boiler system mechanic who played into her obsession with all things Victorian. Beatrice Abbott passes all of Melinda’s buttons, being what could be described as a real life Steampunk mechanic.


Bea doesn’t seem to even notice Meli’s physical disability, and the muscular blonde has a unique way of communicating with the people around her.


The Flotilla series is a spinoff of the bestselling London Harmony series.

Fun story

I enjoyed this story and I really liked the steampunk aspects and that Bea really was a steampunk mechanic in reality.

Recently I have tried quite a few books that have disappointed me and have struggled to find something that I actually looked forward to reading. I finally decided to revert to an author I could rely on.

This is another excellent story with interesting characters and the addition of a little Steampunk and a Coronation class 4-6-2 steam engine.

My only minor criticism is the use of the ’jumping to an mistaken conclusion’ plotline. This is so over used in romantic novels that it can become annoying. Fortunately this didn’t 'drag on' and I soon got back into the flow of the story.

Loving it

Thank you Erik for another wonderful story filled with laughter, friends and Love. I liked the quirkiness of both Beatrice and Melinda, together they are adorable. It's always a pleasure to read these stories and visit with old friends. Looking forward to more great tales.

I loved this book.

I loved Keeping Time. I'm always glad to catch up with the women involved in The Flotilla. Bea and Melinda are great characters. I was a little disappointed with the spelling and punctuation errors.

Another cute story with one of my favorite geeky past times, Steampunk. A little light on platypi but other than that a lovely and fun story.
