Artificial Heart
Prisha has always thought herself the adventurous type. During an overnight hiking trip with her sister, her daring is tested when she encounters an alien spacecraft. What can she do but board?
There, she meets a being both apathetic and kind; organic and artificial. Alf, she affectionately names him. Despite his experiments and ‘data collection’, she comes to view him as her friend—and more.
Mostly machine he might be, but his feelings for her compel him to assist humanity. However, powerful beings are watching, and Alf is forced to abandon his task—and Prisha.
Fearful of her own people, Prisha goes on the run, assisted by her sister and a fanatical police officer.
She is soon caught, and during her confinement discovers something unexpected. Something impossible. Something that makes her question Alf’s intentions …
… and his heart.

Great
This book I down loaded on a whim. I'd never read anything from this author and the books synapse interested me enough to take a chance. I'm glad I did.
This book is a thought full book from the beginning. It is a complete story with all the right things put into place.
A woman who needs some adventures and finds a cyborg man, but not quite either, finds common ground. Keep reading to the end because everything changes and what you thought you knew may be not what you should know.

Dnf @ 224. The writing was clear enough (only a few errors but too many sentence fragments in my opinion) but I became bored. The two sisters "sounded" to me as if they were teenagers or in their early twenties, which prevented me from finding them realistic (the author stated their ages as being much older, and menopause was mentioned). I enjoyed the pace in the first half of this book. Most science fiction books I don't read past page 100.
