Who Would Like This Book:
If you love a fun mashup of Wild West, sci-fi, and heartfelt romance, this book is a treat! The cyborg cowboys, action-packed plot, and a determined heroine finding a new life on Mars make it a standout. There's real chemistry between the leads, slow-burn passion, and a refreshingly sweet tone - very little or no profanity. Fans of Honey Phillips and those craving sci-fi western romance (with a heavy emphasis on the romance!) will find plenty to enjoy here.
Who May Not Like This Book:
This story races by - it’s pretty short, so the romance and action develop quickly, which might not be enough for readers craving more depth, world-building, or a longer, drawn-out story. Some might also wish for more detail about the Mars setting or the shadowy GenCon corporation. If you prefer complex, lengthy adventures or need intense bad-guy drama with major payoffs, this might feel a little light.

From The Publisher:
A desperate widow in need of a helping hand… even a cybernetic one.
Hattie came to Mars with high hopes. Hopes that she and her husband would be able to claim a plot of land, to create a home, perhaps even to start a family - all of the things that were now impossible on a troubled Earth. Instead, she's lost everything, everything except the land, and in order to keep her homestead she needs help.
When help arrives in the form of a tall, gruff cyborg ranger, she is torn between her loyalty to the past and the promise of a new future. But when danger threatens, is she going to lose even that?
M-231 can barely remember the time before - before he became a cyborg, before he shut off his emotions, before he became both more and less than human. Until a stubborn, beautiful female - one who is no longer off limits - makes him remember what it is to feel.
Can Hattie and her cyborg overcome harsh conditions, troubled pasts, and a mysterious enemy to create a new future together?
Each book in the Cyborgs on Mars series can be read as a standalone romance. This sweet and steamy romance is intended for mature readers.
