Steel did not want a human and he pushed her away for most of the book. Rena's forced seduction of Steel was hot.
No repercussions or retaliation for her almost rape made me ragey. Luckily I was able to forget the names of the almost rapists when one of them had a later book. If I had not there is NO way I would have read it!
Safety Gang (view spoiler)[ no cheating near rape of female all of there books have violence toward women Hero pushed her away - A LOT Women were constantly throwing themselves at Steel (he said no to them)

I really enjoyed this story. I never thought I would like Zorus but I really did! Plus I liked Charlie a lot.
In the past, Zorus was a earther hating jackass. Even in this book, he was a dick in the beginning, but certainly not cruel.
Charlie was smart and got screwed over by her brother a few too many times. Not to mention her ex! But luckily Zorus saved her!
Zorus' son? Yep - NO! I talk about that in the spoiler.
This was a good addition to the series. I think these books have gotten stronger over time. There was some drama, action and hot sex. Plus Zorus fell HARD which was fun to see. And he sees the stupidity of the laws he helped create that hurt human mates.
Safety Gang (view spoiler)[ Breeding pact - no (he is sterile) OW tries to offer herself to him for a favor. Goes so far as to strip naked. He says no many times and really means it. But this is what he did in the past so she does not accept a simple no. Biggest issue - his earther hating son almost (and I mean as close to almost as you can get) rapes and sodomizes Charlie because he thinks Zorus has kept her to torture. I have a HUGE problem with the general lack of repercussions against him. Zorus was angry - yes - but he should have KILLED him! But both he and Charlie feel guilty because it was his son. Seriously?!

I liked Ice (for the most part) (all of the cyborg have their asshole moments) and I ended up really liking Megan! It was hot and steamy. So long as you can get past the spoiler issues.
Ice has been called upon OFTEN to impregnate females. He has 28 - no shit - 28 kids!!!! Including the one he just made a few days before finding Megan. YUCK!!!!!
ok - my other issue is that he frequently visits the robot whorehouse and she WATCHES him fuck the sexbots! And he likes to use his mouth. Just YUCK!!!! I can see her doing this - sort of like watching porn - but I just cannot see her actually wanting to screw him herself. But to each her own.
Getting past these issues and him almost killing her on orders from the Council, it was still a good book. Megan really pulled through for him in the end and saved the day.

This was a less than ok edition to the series. Nothing horrible except it totally lacked in romance and was boring! I did not like either MC.2.5 stars
This was a less than ok edition to the series. Nothing horrible except it totally lacked in romance and was boring! I did not like either MC. They basically fucked each other for the heck of it. No friednship, no relationship. No unbelievable sexual tension. Or desire. When he decided to keep her...color me shocked. Why? Neither seemed to give a shit.

Overall I enjoyed the story. I liked Mairi, she was pretty smart and resilient. I did not love Alec, but he was ok. I hate the dead ex trope 3.5 stars
Overall I enjoyed the story. I liked Mairi, she was pretty smart and resilient. I did not love Alec, but he was ok. I hate the dead ex trope so it detracted from my enjoyment. Not that she was talked about a lot, but she was the reason he stole Mairi and had only died a few months (maybe close to a year) prior; so she was ever-present. It is a personal preference issue and one I find difficult to look past.
The kids were cute and sweet. But I thought their relationship with their dad was kinda sad. And I just did not see enough improvement there to make me increase my score. That and how long it took for the MCs to be anything real also kept my score down.
Safety Gang (view spoiler)[ even as a widow, heroin is a virgin Hero's prior marriage was arranged and not a love match but they were together many years (11 or so). no talk of him being with women after wife's death

We met him in Steel's book and talk about getting screwed! Coal deserved something good. And Jill was a sweet woman who was trying to survive a pretty shitty life.
Their relationship started a bit odd - to say the least! But I appreciated all that Coal was trying to do for her.
I loved her androids.
Rune was hilarious!
Overall, this was the easiest read since the hero was not a dick and he really kicks ass for her. Plus Jill was sweet and smart and tough.
Safety Gang (view spoiler)[ Coal is NOT in a breeding pact - thank goodness! But he has been used and abused (raped) for years by cyborg woman so he does have 8 (I think) kids out there Jill had an abusive husband

I really disliked this heroine. She rolled over and let the hero treat her like crap, push/pull/push/pull, rinse repeat. Aside from being boring a pretty boring story, I just wanted her to kick him to the curb since he lacked a set of balls. Yea - I know he had a sad and bad childhood. But a 30 something year old man (a very successful one) needs to stop blaming mommy and daddy at some point.
Not sure I will read the 3rd book. Sounds like more of the same.

I really enjoyed this one. But it was missing some of Ms Dare’s typical humor. I loved the secondary characters and regret not getting anything of their futures. There were a lot of heavy issues but they were handled well.
I liked Logan. Probably because of why he was marrying Madeline. But he was in denial right up until the end. I liked Madeline but just cannot get into the bug girl.
The push/pull got old. The steam was medium to low for me.
