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.

Any additional comments?

After devouring the first story in the Cyborg Seduction series, Burning Up Flint, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Kissing Steel. Laurann Dohner has created a vivid and vibrant world in which cyborgs pirate the skies and a majority of the humans responsible for their demise are not aware that they exist. It's an amazing concept, especially when you add some heat into the mix.

In this installment we are introduced to a milder-mannered, yet uncompromising, Steel. He has no need for a woman and currently feels betrayed by the female cyborg he had a unit contract with who betrayed him for another. After his ship is attacked and they are forced to defend themselves, the crew inadvertently captures a female human. She's everything a cyborg female isn't -- small, fragile, delicate -- and unlike the other cyborgs in his accompaniment, Steel has no interest in taking her on as a slave or a bed partner. Unfortunately, his commanding officer Flint takes the issue out of his hands.

Rena was sent to return a ship that was stolen. What she discovers is the ship is now operated by a crew of cyborgs -- beings she has been told were eradicated on earth. She is stunned to see them and is awed by their size, strength, and cunning. When they begin discussing who she will belong to, she is drawn to the large cyborg who mentions a lover's betrayal. She, too, was betrayed by her husband and yearns for something more. Although Steel denies her, she is determined to show the brawny male exactly what he's missing out on. The result is pages that sizzle and leave you wriggling in your seat. Steel might be stronger and faster, but Rena's sensuality cannot be denied.

As with the previous story, the writing is excellent, the pace is fast, and the characters are fascinating. This is a series I fell in love with from the start. It's hot, it's sexy, and it's addictive. In a world full of books using the same premises, you can't really ask for anything more. If you've not read this series, you really should.

Much Better Than Book I

This story line included a woman who was strong and able. She showed a strength of character that was not seen in book one. I really liked the story line and chemistry between Rena and Steele. This is definitely a book I would listen to again.

This narrator was great, the story was not.

The narration was good. I could easily understand and follow her.
I did not like the female heroine. She practically raped Steel. The she was upset when other males touched her in the same way to "seduce"her. After that she began to undress him when his mind was disconnected from his body.
Steell on the other hand was very caring for a cyborg.

Getting better!!

New series, new species and I want them all!! Please sign me up for my own Cyborg please.I enjoyed this book and I'm planning on getting them all. Yum Yum.

I don't mind using my credits for this series of books.

I loved Steel!

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

The narrator is the reason that I have purchased every audio book in this series. The story is good but the narrator Mindy Kennedy makes this book a thousand times better!!! A narrator can totally kill a book and this is an example where the narrator just makes this book AMAZING!!! Great Job

Silver Hottie

Second book is of this series, Kissing Steel is even better and I didn't think you could out do the first book Laurann but you Did. Love It looking forward to the third book.

Excellent Continuation To The Series

In a world full of books using the same premises, you can't really ask for anything more. If you've not read this series, you really should. The only small complaint I have is that the sex scenes although hot they are very similar and I would love a bit more variety.

As with Burning Up Flint Mindy Kennedy brought the story to life with her outstanding narration of the story.

Anglo earth girl caught by cyborg captin.

The lead female is an agent for an insurance company looking for a lost/stolen space ship. She hopes finding the ship will aid her quest to freedom from a horrible trapped marriage & better job.But, she get kidnap & passed to cyborg captin. At first he is not interested in her due to her being a small human but, she feels the big cammander can help her get a better quality of life than she had and feels he is sexy. Honestly, I like Steel.. He was honest on what he wanted and thought about every little thing that happened. He seemed like a buff "Spock"...I appreciated that all he desired to do is be part of a family unit & have kids. He felt it was his duty. I enjoyed the story. I thought it was cute. worth the credit/money Anglo/earth female with large silver/grey cybor with tribal tatoos..

SciFi Romance

Any additional comments?

Let me begin by yelling out "I LOVE LAURANN DOHNER!" Amazing writer with loads of talent and imagination. I will read anything she writes just because I know her writing skills won't disappoint.

This being said, this series has been hard for me to grow comfortable with. Not sure why. At first I thought it was the half-cyborg thing that bothered me -- sex with machines is kind of creepy. After I thought about it I realized that, no, this wasn't what bothered me. I LOVE the New Species series almost to the point of infatuation, after all and they are half animal. I think what bothered me was the lack of open respect for women (human women in the book) and the callus way the cyborgs demand ownership and dominance of the women they capture. The books are well written, steamy, and the end relationships are loving but I think the part of me raised to be a strong, independent, and free woman is agitated by some of the more callously dominant moves. I'm all for strong, dominant male characters, but I like them to be more suave than callus. This is a personal preference and does not at all take away from Dohner's magic.

If you like SciFi romance then I'd suggest giving it a whirl. It's different and you may find you love it!
