Stealing Coal

Cyborg Seduction Series, Book 5

De: Laurann Dohner

Narrado por: Mindy Kennedy

Book 5 in the Cyborg Seduction series.

Jill has learned the hard way that men can’t be trusted and sex only causes pain. In the lawlessness of space, women are a sexual commodity - to be used and abused. She’s doing a man’s job, with only her father’s brutal reputation and three androids to help keep her alive when she sees a massive, handsome cyborg chained to a freight table. The abusive crew plans to sell him to fight in gruesome death matches.

It’s stupid, it’s insane, but Jill can’t leave him to such a horrible fate.

Coal has survived being a captive breeding slave and irreversible damage to his cyborg implants, but his honor is still intact. He’s grateful Jill saved him and he’ll repay her the only way he can. He’ll fix her - with his mouth, his hands and his body. He can teach the little human just how much pleasure she’s capable of feeling.

Good read, poor performance

What did you love best about Stealing Coal?

I enjoyed the story as I do with all of Laurann Dohner's books, Coal is a very likeable character and so is Jill, I am very amused by the assumptions and wrong conclusions that keep happening throughout the series.

What did you like best about this story?

Coal didn't believe a message that was sent to the ship, I really liked his faith in his feelings for Jill and her feelings for him.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The only problem I have is with the narration. The narrator takes a deep breath every few sentences and I found this to be a bit distracting and frustrating, like she got a brand new and very sensitive microphone to speak into. I have heard other books by this narrator, without the same issue. I hope future narrations won't have the same problem.

Love is Healing

STEALING COAL is another great story by Laurann Dohner! We get to see Coal really coming into his own after everything that he’s been through. He’s definitely not a regular cyborg and it reflected in the way that he responded to Jill. It was nice seeing the different behavior from a cyborg in this series.

We first met Coal in book 3, MELTING IRON, where he was being abused by the numerous female cyborgs that he was with. Now it’s a few months later and this story picks up where we last saw him in book 4, TOUCHING ICE. However you don’t need to be caught up on the series in order to enjoy Stealing Coal. All of the books in the series stand alone pretty well. Although if you read them in order it gives you a better viewpoint of the series that in my opinion enhances the reader's enjoyment.

I very much enjoyed this book. There was action from the moment it started. Plus some good healing. A big part of the plot surrounded the point that the time the characters spent alone together was very therapeutic for them. And that love, trust, empathy and understanding go a long way. Plus good sex can do wonders LOL!

Mindy Kennedy did a great job with the narration of this book. She always gives an enjoyable performance. She’s got a wonderful pace that never fails to draw you into the story. She doesn’t do a lot of acting but she does put emotion in the words. I do wish however that she had more male voices in her repertoire.

Previously abused, Coal gets lucky.

I really like the two characters that set off on a voyage of discovery. Both are damaged but still hopeful.

Not as good as I remembered

Don't get me wrong, this is 1still 1 of my favoured books in the series but I guess when I was actually reading it I just skimmed right through the gratuitous sex scenes cos I just didn't remember them being so detailed or prevalent. But I liked the essential story and its contribution to the over-arching series plot (which ends up going nowhere 🤨😤)

Love, love, loved it!

Another great story with fun, adventure humor and hot sex!!! As you can see, I loved this story and all those in the series up to this one. I am ready for the next one & can not wait. So good and so Hot!!!
