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.

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.
