Editorial reviews

Steel doesn’t want Rena and she doesn’t want him sexually, either, except that as a human prisoner of cyborgs she believes pleasing his large, muscled body is her only chance at salvation given choices that run from bad to worse. Mindy Kennedy gives voices to the fears, desperation, and climactic passions featured in this second of erotic science fiction queen Laurann Dohner’s Cyborg Seduction series. What begins as a desperate attempt of a woman on the run to survive turns first into a battle of wills and then into a deep, physical need and passionate relationship whose primary lesson is that you don’t always know what you really want.

Publisher's summary

Book 2 in the Cyborg Seduction series.

All Rena wanted was to steal back a spaceship and earn enough money to buy her freedom from her travesty of a life. Her mission to recover stolen property from pirates backfired and she became a possession when she encountered cyborgs instead. Now, one of them will own her. Rena is a survivor…and she wants the very tall, big, brutally sexy cyborg who doesn’t like to share anything that belongs to him.

Steel is beyond irritated when he is maneuvered into ownership of a fragile human female. She’s not nearly big enough to handle his size or strength, yet she’s determined to get him into bed - into her. Steel realizes just what this little female is capable of when he awakens, chained to his bed, with her riding his very turned-on body. For a man who prides himself on his unyielding control, Steel soon finds Rena stripping him of it an inch at a time.

Just WOW, so hot & exciting

This one has you on the edge of your seat with constant suspense and lots & lots of hot sex. Some tearful moments just makes an all around terrific book. Great writing by Ms Dohner and great narration by Ms Kennedy.

Great Cyborg LOVE!

This book was simply great... I started book 1, but gave up soon after... I should have kept going... This is book 2 and Man, it was great...

The beginning was a bit slow for me, because I already had a bad taste for book 1, but I kept going.. and by like chapter 3... I was totally hooked.

Steel was great... but Rena completely stole this book. After she got captured by the Cyborgs when her crew fail to capture the Star ship from book 1 back... Rena demanded to be given to Steel...

Steel was like... ummm, NO, don't want her... but then she shut him down, climbed on top of him and well...Rocked his world... Steel quickly changed his mind... Well sort of...

This book had so much action and romance, all rolled into one... Steel kept trying to give Rena away, and she just kept fight... Seriously, beating up Cyborgs left and right... But the ending.. Man! I was crying by that point, b/c Seriously the reunion with Rena's mother... !!! Tearjerker!

Narration was great... There are several male cyborgs throughout... and each one has a different voice... Great voice narration.. simply great.

Great Credit, Buy or sale... I plan to invest in all these books if they continue like this...

This Series is Definitely Picking Up!

I love Steel's character in this book. This is definitely an entertaining listen. You won't be disappointed if you are an erotic romance reader/listener.

L D leaves the door open for many storylines with some females as well as male cyborg characters. The narration was excellent.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment.

Awesome series!!

Every book is my favorite! I think, “oh this one is it!” And then I listen to the next one and it’s my favorite! Love them and the narrator is great! She’s one I really enjoy listening to and pulls me in the story. Can’t wait to continue listening. My only wish is that previous couples were pulled into current stories. Doesn’t have to be instrumental to the plot, just an update here or there. But that’s just personal preference. Definitely worth the credits for the series!

Great romance, sex, and believable alien world

Essentially, this is a story of two different beings and natural enemies learning to see the beauty in one another, not physically, though that was certainly a part of their relationship. Much of this learning came through teaching each other about each other and each being willing to learn. The start of their willingness came via physical attraction first, but there seemed to be something more, the indefinable “it”, between them from the beginning. Many of the teachings centered on the knowledge that there’s a time for logic and a time for emotion to be the central element used as a compass for one’s journey. I was sold on Steel’s, the cyborg’s, unnatural desire for Rena, a human, but I think the story lacked a bit of believability on why Rena wanted Steel beyond when she first chose him for safety.
I really liked the image of Steel and his world that the author created. It all made sense and showed some depth and complexity. An additional positive aspect is the more realistic aspect taken towards their sexual encounters. Every encounter didn’t result in mind-blowing orgasms, though all were quite enjoyable. That realism is all-too rare in romances I listen to. The sex scenes had some degree of explicitness, but I think it added to its sensuality and not licentious. These scenes are not long or drawn out, so I could have taken a bit more to them. But they were also not too short or lacking in important detail. The author knows how to write desire and heat. The slight humor in the book, often in the form of some of Rena’s behaviors, was also quite enjoyable. There were several times that a smile naturally broke out on my face while listening to this story.
The journey to the end was one I couldn’t see coming. I was enthralled to see how things would play out. It’s not that this type of ending—which you have to find out on your own—in a romance is surprising, but because of the very good writing, it’s not clear if, much less, how it will occur. This is my first book by this author but by no means the last. I just wish the books were longer. Hopefully her other books are as enjoyable as this one.

Steele stole my heart!

These Cyborgs are finding a way into my heart--with their matter of fact, robotic, emotionless-speak--I'm still falling head over heels! This second story may have been just a bit better than the first. There was just something about Steele that melted my butter!

So far each story has been a really quick delicious listen, and like the previous one, I hung on every word waiting to see what would happen next. I think this is a series that every paranormal romance lover will want.

Erotic Sci-Fi Cyborg listen!

This was my first cyborg book. I liked Rena's human determination and Steel's cyborg stamina. Hot sex! I am not really sci-fi but I saw this in the erotica genre, and tried it. I'm glad I did. I will continue with this type of sci-fi erotica.

Great second book in series!

This audiobook was very enjoyable listening! The heroine works for an insurance company and is in space looking for The Star, a ship her company had to pay insurance out on. Only once she and the six man recovery team find the ship, they are surprised by cyborgs in possession of it. After killing the team, she’s taken by the cyborgs and given to Steel, who is in command of the ship Rally. He doesn’t want a human woman and has recently been dumped from his family unit pact when they thought he was dead. Forced together, they begin to explore a temporary relationship. Steel thinks he needs a cyborg woman to have children with, but she’s determined to change his mind! Narration was excellent.

5 Kissing Steel Stars


I am a FAN... Yep I remember reading these a long time ago but, I am loving them even more now.

I wasn't a fan of Steel in book 1 but he totally redeemed himself in this book. Rena is another human who really doesn't want to return to earth. And being caught up with the Cyborgs really isn't a hard ship for her. Only she doesn't want to be passed around she takes a likening to Steel and does everything in her power to convince him she will be what he needs.

I loveeeeeeeeed how this one ended.. I mean awe and swoon and awe. I don’t want to give anything away but.. Yeah if you enjoyed book 1 you’re going to love book 2.

Again Mindy does a fabulous job with the narrations. I love how she has the right kind of voice and tone for the cyborgs it’s how I picture they would take.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*
