Tempted Cyborg

4 Bounding StarsWe met Hunter at the end of "Her Cyborg." Nellie C. Lind is a new author for me and I am really enjoying her cyborg series. Hunter's bounded Sarah was killed twenty years ago and he went crazy and almost died. He becomes one of the fighters but after so many years he is captured by MedAct. Dr. Silva is trying to save the fighters. Hunter is reunited with a friend from the past he knew as a child but Avril is all grown up and is trying desperately to save the cyborg she had a girl [...]

Review in progress.

Didn't like this one as much as the first one, but that was likely due to it being a shorter novella. It made it very fast paced. Regardless, I can't wait for the next book.

This book comes after Book 1 and tells the story of one of Nightmare’s captured Fighters, named Hunter. MedAct has captured several Fighters, cyborgs whose mate has died and they survived the bond breaking but with some severe damage. MedAct maintains that they must initiate a new bond with another woman to become functional again. Otherwise, the constant pain and demands of the bond within them would drive them insane. Avril has loved Hunter since she was 12 years old. He and his bound one, S [...]

Just reading the summary made me want to read it so bad. It was cute and short and I just didn't want it to end but I can't wait to read book two.

It was over a year ago when I first read the first book in this series and totally loved it! It was my first time reading about cyborgs and it blew my mind. This year, I signed up in her newsletter to get updates with her new released and was notified that there are two books or novellas attached in the email. And I was so thrilled. I was waiting for this to be out.I like the plot of this book or novella. Though I find it fast paced, but I cannot blame the author, it’s meant to be fast pace be [...]

Not terrible, but a little thin. Also needs a good copy editor. Still, not bad considering it was a free download from the author's newsletter. If you liked the author's first cyborg book this one gives a little more world-building detail in addition to the instalove romance. One word of caution--if you're not comfortable with the "I knew you as a child, but now you're all grown up" trope, I'd avoid this one, especially because it comes off as a little creepier than usual here.

If you're a fan of Lauran Dohner, I encourage you to start this series. I inhaled book one and this novella in 24 hrs. I can't wait for book two. Ah, Wind and Cerise. They're going have such a bitter sweet story. Squeeeee!

Once again, the story ends just as things have gotten interesting. I'd really like to know what happens after the initial drama is settled. Boo.

Uhhh I want to know what happens next! I actually really liked Hunter and Avril together and hope to see a glimpse of where they're at in future novels. Definitely enjoyed this!
