Machines aren’t supposed to feel, but this cyborg can’t help falling in love.
Assigned as a specimen collector for a captured cyborg, Chloe is intrigued by the machine disguised as a man. Kidnapped during his daring escape, he shows her that despite the chip in his brain, his humanity is not completely lost.
Formerly known as unit X109GI, Joe is on a quest to discover his origin. While he doesn’t find the answers he’s looking for, he does discover that affection isn't just for humans. But when it comes to a battle between logic and love, which side will the cybernetic organism—once a man—choose?
Evaluating his feelings will have to wait though because the military isn’t done with Joe. But their threats against him pale in comparison before the shocking discovery of project C791, the revelation of which stuns the rebel cyborgs—and ignites a fury for vengeance.

I’ve been a big fan of Eve Langlais for a long time. I’ve read most of shifter and demon books. I keep hearing great things about her cyborgs. My first thought, was “Really, cyborgs??”, but I too many people I trust have tried them and enjoyed them. So I decided to dive in. I already had this on my kindle. I had picked it up when it was free for a limited time, so I had nothing to lose, right? I’m really glad that I picked it up and decided to finally read it.
The book opens with humans calling for the destruction of all cyborgs. They are supposed to be told to walk out into open space where they will sucked into the vacuum and cease to exist. One cyborg who has started to feel things, but has been hiding this from the humans, decides to take a stand. X109GI doesn’t want to see all those just like him and himself killed. So, he hacks the systems and revolts.
Jump forward several years and now there is a war between the humans and cyborgs. X109GI, who now goes by Joe, gets captured by the humans. They are trying to find out where the cyborg base is at. They want tissue and fluid samples from him, but he kills everyone who goes into his cell. That is until Chloe appears. She intrigues him. She starts off terrified of the cyborg, but is using it as a way to move up at the lab. She has been treated so badly for as long as she could remember.
This book is a quick read and is a ton of fun, which you would expect from an Eve Langlais book. It was very funny with a story that keep me interested. I will admit that the twist at the end, I could see coming, but that is okay. This book did what I wanted, it made me laugh and was very sexy. I’m excited to get into more of these books. I want to learn more about the cyborgs that we meet in the later part of this story.

I’m Melanie and I live in Ohio. I have two horses and a dog. I’m an animal lover, avid book reader and audiobook listener. I like to live vicariously through fictional characters. I enjoy reading and listening to mostly fictional books in the paranormal genre, including Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and Horror. My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters, doesn’t matter the flavor.
I have had fun with some of the books from this series. I do like cyborgs…its unique and different. Glad you enjoyed reading this one.

It was very unique. I’m excited to get to more books in this series.

Cyborgs are an unexplored territory for me, but I do like that this is funny and snarky. Those are traits that I look for if the genre is something that I don’t typically read. I think I’ve read a couple of Langlais books before, but this one is definitely new to me. Thanks for sharing, Melanie!

I love Eve Langlais. I’ve read several of her shifter and demon books. Felicia at The Geeky Book Blogger told me how much she loved these. There have been others too, but I can’t remember who else. I’m glad I tried it. I will be getting more books in this series.

I am like you, not big on the whole cyborg thing, but love this author so willing to give it a try. 🙂 It’s going on my list.

It was great. I kept pushing this series back because I didn’t think I would like it, but I kept hearing such great things that I decided to give it a go. I’m glad that I did. I hope you enjoy. 🙂

Sounds like a weird terminator/ matrix world. I’m always torn on paranormal romance. I think if this was an action I’d like it haha. I love finding good free books though. 🙂

I’ve learned that if I’ve heard of the author or if it looks remotely good, go ahead and grab it. It has gotten me several free reads that have turned out great. It isn’t like I have to read them or like NetGalley where I need to keep my precent up. 🙂

I’m glad you liked it, Melanie. This one is one of my favorites of her series next to Welcome to Hell and Kodiak Point. I still need to finish the last two books in the series.

I think you are one of the ones who kept telling me to try this series. I kept putting it off because I didn’t think cyborgs would be very good. I was wrong. I should’ve listened.

LOL! I put books off all the time for no reason at all so no worries.

That is a title I would not remember

It is hard to remember, but it also stands out because it is different. It made me do a double take.

Great review. I’ve picked up one of Eve Langlais Cyborg books for free too, but I have not read it yet. I just don’t know. I’m like you, Cyborg’s really. I might give it go one of these days.

I highly recommend it. I know you’ve read Eve before, this is exactly what you would expect from her. I hope you get a chance to try it soon and enjoy it.
Melanie recently posted…Review: Through His Eyes by Deborah Camp (@Mollykatie112, @AuthorDebCamp)
Yes, I have. I read only book one of her Furry United Coalition and liked it. I would read more, but $ is the issue. I wish my library carried her for eReading. Not enough people request her books yet for them to pick it up. =/ Good too know about it being something I would expect from her.
Hahaha, Melanie . . . Yeah, you don’t see many cyborg romances, but part man, part machine . . . I can see the attraction 😉 Great review!
Thanks Jessica. These guys are pretty interesting. I’m excited to pick up the next book.

*haha* I picked up this one when it was a freebie as well, Melanie. And I’ll be reading it sooner than later. I’ve been a bit leery of the cyborgs myself. But it seems Langlais can work her magic with them too. I’m looking forward to reading this! 🙂

Eve is able to make me laugh with pretty much anything she writes. She hasn’t let me down yet. I’m listening to her FUC series now.
Melanie recently posted…Early Audiobook Review: Deceptions by Kelley Armstrong (@KelleyArmstrong, @PenguinAudio, @mozhanistan)
Oh, I hope you’re enjoying it, Melanie. I’ve read the first 2 books in that series. I really enjoyed them. 😉
Bookworm Brandee recently posted…#COYER Review ~ Spin ~ CD Reiss
I love her but I think this is her series that I will not touch because I am not a fan of this genre. I just can’t get into it. It’s great that it’s a shoe-in for ya! I think Eve has yet to disappoint you…
Braine recently posted…Pick Up Lines: Jack Gets His Man by D.E. Haggerty
Eve hasn’t disappointment me yet. There are stories I like more than others, but I’ve always enjoyed the stories. I just started book two for this series last night. I could see if you didn’t like Sci-Fi, you wouldn’t be a big fan of this series. But that is why it is so great that there is so much out there, there is always something for everyone.

I’ve never read a book about Cyborgs… this sounds interesting though Melanie. I have read a few books by Eve before, so I should just take the plunge!
