A Real Man: Mirror, Mirror

by Kaitlyn O'Connor

Marina arrives home from work to find Frank Stein’s creation, a life-like, anatomically correct, cyborg lost, hungry and parked on the curb in front of her house.

It is no part of Marina’s plan to teach the cyborg what it’s like to be a real man, but Nico has his sights on her and he’s persistent. Better yet, he’s a fast learner.

Genres: Romance, Science Fiction

Reviews

[T00zday · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short story. Minimal sex, funny & sweet

[Carolyn F. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short story

This felt a little like Pinocchio where he was created but instead of running away he was abandoned to see if he's turn into a "real man". Well he eats, feels and falls in love, so yes. Sweet story.

Um, ok, nice beginning, now where is the rest of the story?

[Brutally Honest · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute fluff.
