If you love Kaitlyn's Cyborg series, you'll love this one. I gave it 4.5 stars. I wanted it to be a little longer! Loved it!

Kaitlyn O'Connors' books would most likely win the prize of worst book covers if a such a contest existed.
I'm not saying that the books are equally terrible as the covers, in fact, I've loved most the of the books I've read written by her.

But not this one. This one is really bad. I hated the main character, Chloe is not the strong-willed and intelligent woman I'm used to read about on Kaitlyns' books.

Moreover, I'm starting to question if all aliens and cyborgs use the same expressions! Every time I read "Mayhap" I wanted to punch something. An advanced cyborg created by humans saying "Mayhap"? Shouldn't cyborgs speak like their creators?

Anyway, one thing that I also didn't enjoy was the fact that Chloe was in love (more like in lust) with a cyborg who took her virginity, when her dad decided to take her to a brothel! That was so ridiculous, and so unrealistic! Come on! Your dad takes you to a brothel? That just doesn't happen, no matter in which century you are born.

And why can't one character date and/or love only one man? Why? Is monogamy overrated? Not that I mind a little sandwich men action, but constantly reading about it makes me feel fed up with it.

These points I just made are just some of the few things I strongly disliked about this book. This book also helped me realize that I probably won't be reading more books of this series.

A bit far out for me. I could not into the story because Chloe was just to oblivious to every thing.

Enjoyed this one a little less than the first. The constant brawling between the guys got old fast. Then there was Saline's psycho behavior that wasn't explained and came out of nowhere. And to be honest six guys are three too many in my book. The story got a few laughs out of me but the abrupt ending had me going 'really?'

Excited for Reuel's book.

So there’s one woman, Chloe, and six cyborgs! Really? I lost count of who was who after three. Jared, Kane and Damon were more than enough. I personally thought this story would have been less confusing without the others.

Chloe was a bit helpless most of the time but she was okay. Her ill thought-out rescue of Damon annoyed me. Could she even shoot a gun? I just think the fact that she’d lived in space with guys all her life would have made her a bit more kickass. Much like the first book, I didn’t really get why her cyborgs loved her other than she was the only human girl they’d ever met.

Anyway they rescue cyborgs and go off in search of a planet where they can also settle. There’s a lot of inner reflection about whether she should join them or not but a HEA in the end.
