Publisher's summary

Book 7 in the Cyborg Seduction series.

Krell hates humans. They left him scarred and undesirable to females. He’s lived a lonely existence in his home world because of their brutality. So he’s angry when he’s ordered to interrogate the captured human. She’s the enemy, a soldier from Earth. He’ll show her the same mercy they showed him. None.

Cyan didn’t expect to survive her mission against the Markus Models but she’s stunned and elated to be confronted by cyborgs. The past and present collide, however, when she sees Krell. He’s part of a dangerous secret from another life - and he’s also completely irresistible.

Krell is certain Cyan can’t be trusted. He’s determined to keep her at a distance…but Cyan is just as determined to get the big, sexy cyborg into her bed.

A very kick a-s female

Loved these characters, it was a very heart wrenching and romantic storyline. Loved the way the past meets the present in this story, it can’t often be blended like this. Very hot but maybe not as much sex as the previous ones, but might be wrong. Great written story, great narration.

Loved Krell and Cyan

Have you listened to any of Mindy Kennedy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Narrator takes some getting used to. Does a very good job with women voices, but the male voices leave a lot to be desired.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me laugh a lot, and saddened me at times too. Krell is such a decent character treated poorly by Cyborg women due to scars, which is sad. Cyan is so mouthy and funny, I laughed out loud so many times. They are perfect together.

Any additional comments?

Have already re-listened to this book, as it is in my top 10 of favorites.

I loved this book the narrator did a amazing job on this story it's worth the money

Another Fantastic book In The Series

Cyan is a soldier from earth sent on a solo mission to destroy Markus Models (psychotic robots that look human but are not sentient beings). She's completely kick-butt and has no problem holding her own against anyone. While on the ship where she was after the Markus Models she runs into cyborgs. She's so stunned she drops her weapons because the last thing she would ever do is hurt a cyborg. Why? Well, there is a lot more to Cyan than meets the eye. The cyborgs who capture her think she is a spy and when they send Krell in to interrogate her, things get out of control and she stabs herself in the leg to prove she's not exactly human. I don't want to give away any spoilers about her real identity, but she played an important part in Cyborg history. When she realizes what kind of laws they've implemented on Garden regarding mating she's heartbroken and rips their council a new one in a very impassioned speech.

When Krell lived in captivity on earth he was tortured and scarred by humans and is considered undesirable by cyborg women. So much so that he's not in a marriage union and has even been excused from joining one because no women want him. It's been 60 months since he's been with a woman so he's a little cranky. Zorus, a council member, orders Krell to take Cyan into his home so he can discover whether or not she's a spy or someone they suspect is very special to cyborgs. Cyan doesn't make a secret that she's attracted to Krell but he thinks she's using him for some ulterior purpose because he assumes no woman would ever want him.

With Krell's inability to trust the gorgeous woman falling for him, there is a lot of
mis-communication and really tender moments. This book was heavier on action, romance and sexual tension as opposed to actual sex. In fact, I think this one has the least amount of sex compared to the others in this series.

Taunting Krell really brought out some issues in the series that I've been waiting for. Issues that deal with Cyborgs' and the way they force their females to marry 2-3 males. The last book made progress with the `human ownership' issues and I like that this book had even more progress within the Cyborg society. On a side note, I can really see Ms. Dohner's growth as a writer in this book. Where some of her previous books have felt repetitive in places, this one just had the perfect balance of everything I look for in a romance. My heart broke for both Krell and Cyan as they struggled to find happiness. I'm really looking forward to the next book. Taunting Krell is an action-packed sci-fi erotic romance that's a perfect addition to this series.

Mindy Kennedy delivers another enchanting narration of the story.

Krell seduced me 100%

Any additional comments?

Taunting Krell has one of the most dramatic, attention-getting plots Laurann Dohner has written in this fascinating series. It's filled with wonderful characterizations and such high emotion that I was totally absorbed in my listening. We find out more about the Cyborg world and the making of them. Laurann doesn't spend a lot of time fleshing out Krell, but she doesn't need to. His personality and the demons that drive him have been told and retold in prior books, which is one factor in recommending this series be read in order and from the beginning. In this one, Krell is his usual human-hating self. He's socially challenged, which Cyan, who calls him the “grim cyborg,” figures out early on. Cyan is a particularly strong, yet vulnerable character. She doesn't need to be coddled or catered to and can stand quite well on her own two feet, not to mention kick ass either with her bare hands or weapons. I found Taunting Krell is a superior addition to the Cyborg Seduction series. All our needs are met with great action and Hot Steamy Sex. Totally fulfilling. Loved it !!

Loved this book

The two main characters in this book have a real problem with trust and acceptance. I loved the ending.

Hot Metal

Would you listen to Taunting Krell again? Why?

Yes, I have also read this book when it was under Ellora's Cave. It's sexy, and witty.
The story is fast paced, and the performance is good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cyan, she made me laugh, and I liked her out look. She has a fighting spirit.
No sad flower syndrome.

What about Mindy Kennedy’s performance did you like?

Her voice range is good, the male voices were believable and she didn't have a problem with conveying emotion. She never sounded forced, and she didn't take long pauses.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The tag line would be the same as my tittle. Because if I made this into a movie it would have to be a soft porn, the "love" scenes in this book are smoking hot.
So "Hot Metal" it is lol.

Any additional comments?

The rest of this series is really good too. As far as "love" scenes go, the one in this book are comparatively sweet. Not that they aren't good, or that they are boring. Just that the other books have more of a BDM theme. However The story is important to me, and in this book the story holds up really well. The characters are well written and the plot is believable.

In need of more reading
