Nothing Bot Trouble
She came to the moon for quiet… and found a life that refused to stay silent.
Evanora Hale left Earth to disappear. Her plan was simple until she bought a failing repair shop on the dark side of the lunar colony, collecting new friends who refused to let her hide.
With every bot Nora fixes, the shop’s fairy lights shine a little brighter, illuminating a future she never meant to build. When her touch wakes an android that shouldn't exist, her world fractures.
Now Nora is figuring out how to protect Six while he does the very thing no bot is meant to do.
Love.
When buried technology and long-forgotten secrets begin to surface beneath the moon’s dust, Nora is forced to confront the truth she has spent years avoiding.
Some things are not meant to stay broken.
Some connections are worth the risk of being seen.
And some hearts wake for a reason.
❤️
Nothing Bot Trouble is a cozy sci-fi adventure with a swirl of romance featuring found family, fixing broken things, and the quiet way love learns to choose. It is perfect for readers who love soft androids, capable heroines, opinionated plants, and a diverse crew.

If you loved Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, you’re probably going to adore Six. He has that same gentle curiosity, sincerity, and quiet emotional growth that made Data such a standout and he was easily one of my favorite parts of this book.
Nothing Bot Trouble is a sweet, cozy sci-fi story set on the moon, centered around Nora, who buys a small repair shop hoping for a quiet, anonymous life. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by eccentric neighbors, found family, and a sense of warmth she didn’t realize she was missing. The setting itself is incredibly comforting, there’s something so soothing about the moon, fairy lights, and fixing broken things, both mechanical and emotional.
The romance is soft and heartfelt, though it did feel a little rushed at times. I found myself wishing for a bit more space to fully settle into the relationship and explore some of the emotional beats in greater depth. I was also occasionally confused by some of the android protocols tied to Six’s deeper programming, those elements didn’t always feel as clearly explained as they could have been.
That said, the cozy vibes absolutely shine. The found family, the quiet hope threaded through the story, and the overall feel-good warmth made this a very enjoyable read. It’s also a quick read, perfect when you want something comforting and low-stress.
This story captured the heart of cozy sci-fi beautifully: soft androids, capable heroines, quirky side characters, and the gentle idea that some things and some people are worth being seen for. Despite a few rough edges, I truly enjoyed my time with this story and would happily read more set in this world.

Nothing Bot Trouble (Moonscapades Book One) by Gemma Cosmos is a cozy sci‑fi tale that lured me through lunar dust and broken tech to a story about mending what hurts the most. Evanora Hale, hoping to escape her past, buys a failing bot repair shop on the far side of a moon colony where friendships form over soldering irons and glowing circuits. When Nora’s touch awakens an android called Six, a bot not meant to feel, she must face long buried truths and protect something that might be more human than machine. The story blends lighthearted charm with emotional warmth around belonging, healing, and courage.
Early on, I didn’t expect to care so deeply about lunar workshops and android hearts, yet Nora’s resilience and the gentle unfolding of Six’s awakening made me smile and ache in equal measure. The pacing and world‑building felt inviting rather than rushed, and I loved how each fixed bot subtly brightened Nora’s world and mine.
Rating: 4 out of 5, because it left me with a soft glow of hope and curiosity about what comes next.

Let’s talk about Nothing Bot Trouble by Gemma Cosmos.
“Misfit Parts and Stardust Hearts.”
My heart was overly full after reading this debut cozy sci-fi/fantasy novel by Gemma Cosmos. Not only did it check the cozy box, but it also pulled at my heartstrings as I delve into the story of Nora, a girl who has a unique way of taking things that are broken and fixing them to be loved again.
When Nora ascends to the Moon to start her life anew, she lands upon a forgotten fix it up store that just called out to her. Once settling in, Nora can’t help but find out that the previous owner may have left her a few unexpected surprises. One of these would be “Six” – a humanoid being that technically isn’t “alive” and was now hidden away from prying eyes. Six was everything she seemed to want but knew she shouldn’t need “him”.
“He was a miracle of engineering and a death warrant for her career; all wrapped in a flannel shirt that smelled of past lives. It was a beautiful way to ruin her life.”
“But because…because loving you isn’t neutral.”
When the past comes hurdling back in, Nora and Six are flocked by the people within their community, showing that family is not only of blood but of what you make of it.
Thank you to Gemma Cosmos for the advanced reader’s copy for my open and honest feedback.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I received a copy of this for an honest review. I sat down only to read a single chapter BUT instead I read it in one single sitting.
This particular type of story is not something I normally read but the description intrigued me. I was pleasantly surprised when it pulled me in and I enjoyed every page. I liked the characters and the premise. Will I continue with the series? That's a resounding yes.

This book was kindly received as an ARC by the author. Thank you for the copy!
My rating for this book is 3 stars.
What I enjoyed:
This book was exactly as it was advertised- a cozy, low stakes sci-fi quick read with aspects of found family and a splash of romance. I enjoyed the ambience of the setting, and the themes of moving on from past mistakes. I also enjoyed the bits of humor in this book, and found myself smiling at some of the comedic and heartwarming parts of the book. I loved the kindness and support from the FMC's community and found family, and if you are looking for a feel good, low stakes book to read to get you out of a slump, this one will do the trick. The romance was very light, it was fast paced in story progression, and the theme of community and people coming together to bring someone into their care made for a lot of sweet moments between. I also liked the MMC- if you like an overly attentive male character, I think SIX is for you.
What could've been improved:
With the theme of found family, I feel that the connection between these strangers was a bit instantaneous and lacked deeper connection. I would have loved for the characters to have more experiences speaking together and getting to know each other early on to justify the commitment and support they gave to the FMC later in the book. I think this would've deepened my connection to each of the characters, and helped me to get to know the FMC a little better in the process. I also wish that we could've had more descriptors for the world setting, and the physical appearance of the characters. I don't know that I know much of what the main character looks like outside of having curly hair. I think the side characters bring a lot to the story, and I would've loved to be able to better visualize what these characters looked like and gotten to know them and their intentions a little bit better. Lastly, there were concepts dropped into the book that I wasn't quite able to grasp during my read through. I can tell that the author had all of the story well fleshed out behind the writing, but in translation of the story into words, I feel some important aspects of the story were lost due to lack of proper explanation on certain world building elements and plot lines. At times it felt like we were rushing towards the conflict and end just so we could reach the end conclusion.
Overall, I think this book is built on fun ideas, and I could've seen myself really enjoying a longer formatted version of this story with a little more depth written into the characters and world.
I am so appreciative for this ARC, and I wish this author many well wishes in their future endeavors.

I wanted to consume this book in one sitting but forced myself to pace myself so I could enjoy this book so much longer.
Nothing Bot Trouble is the story of Nora and an illegal android named Six who one day gets dropped off at her new shop by a mystery woman and here the kicker—the android has feelings!! This story is filled with learning to self love, found family, and making a home with some misfits (who are all adorable, especially Gerald the succulent and Orbit the cat!!!)
Again, I had to force myself to read this slowly and not consume it super quickly. I wanted to really sit and enjoy this cute sci-fi cozy read. I fell in love with every single character and their personalities and stories. Nora I gravitated to so quickly and not just because she’s the FMC. Her struggle she faces throughout the entire book is something I know so many have to face and feel and seeing her come out of it because of Six and the other band of misfits warmed my heart to infinity and beyond!!
I was so lucky to have arc read this and I 100000000% recommend this read if you’d love a cozy sci-fi with found family, and adorable romance and a silly succulent plant who is super sassy!!!

This was a cute and cozy romance. I liked the sci-fi elements but I would have liked to read more about how life on the moon works and a bit more background on Nora as a character. I’m no engineer but there were times when I was confused (which probably doesn’t matter to the story). But overall it was a nice story and I would like to read the sequel when it comes out.

I just finished this book and oh wow!!! When I accepted this as an arc, I did not expect that I would love it so much. It sounded so cute and as I read it, I became even more invested. It follows a woman, a bot and their found family on the moon and it all revolves around a repurposed fix it shop. The shop brings these people together and in the best ways. If you are a fan of a sweet tale of a love that defies logic and a sense of family found in the most unique way, then this read will be for you. It is not a spicy book. It is what I would describe as a just kisses book. The actual story line was the best and I really enjoyed this writers style of writing. I am excited to read the next book in the series.
January 3, 2026
This was an absolutely adorable short read. Super cozy, found family style book. I really enjoyed the writing, and as with most short stories, I wish there were more.
January 27, 2026
This is one of the cutest, sweetest, sci-fi stories I have had the pleasure to read! The immediate connection between Nora and the shop, the strength of the community that accepted her; the eerie feeling of the lunar dome - it was so immersive and believable.
As much as I loved Six, and the major secondary characters, I can’t help but say that Gerald was my favorite addition to the story! The whimsy in this book was a delight on every new page.
Even with the high stakes, dangerous habitat, and dystopian government the author manages to maintain a cozy, positive vibe. The love story is wonderful, with a strong bond without spice.
5 star perfection. I LOVE IT!

In Nothing Bot Trouble By Gemma Cosmos, we follow Nora as she hopes to start a new life on a new planet - investing nearly all her savings into buying an abandoned shop where she can do what she knows - repair.
Despite trying to keep her head down so no one finds out her deadly past, Nora finds herself in the company of an illegal android model and a ragtag group of locals who know nothing but to love and support their own.
And they don’t give Nora the chance to deny the invitation.
Before she can stop herself from falling for her charge, the government shows up at her doorstep with the paperwork to take the android and the threats to ensure she complies.
With a past to run from and a new family to lose, what will Nora do?
Here's my 4⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of Nothing Bot Trouble by @gemmacosmosauthor

This Book in 5 Emojis: 😮💨☕🤖🫂🔨
My Thoughts On This Outer Space Robotic Romance:
I originally requested to ARC read this book because I love science fiction and I was just beginning to dabble in contemporary romance (I was literally raised on historical romance - I don't think my mom looked at the boxes of books she bought me).
I ONLY gave this book 4 stars because I felt like the plot was rushed and could have included more filler to round out the story and nurture emotional attachment for the reader AND because I feel like there were WAY too many similies.
Now, let me tell you why that doesn't matter.
I LOVED THIS STORY SO MUCH!!!
Despite what filler was left out, what Gemma put in was exceptional. I loved how she revealed the back stories of the characters slowly instead of trauma dumping all over the place - using a cat and a literal plant, Gerard, to push the plot towards the next milestone. Despite being sentient, Gerard was, without a doubt, a whole character.
I also love how she described Six, the android, in a way that made him completely robotic but parallel to human. He did nothing humanlike, but his intentions were clear.
And I just cried as I wrote this review thinking of the way the locals completely envelopes Nora in their acceptance and love and support.
I HIGHLY recommend!!

Review of advance copy received from Author
This book is different from my typical books that I read. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. I do feel that it was a bit rushed when it came to the second Nora got Six to the moment Six was around other people. As someone who is supposed to protect Six, an illegal bot, it seems as though Nora introduced him to other people too quickly. I feel like she should have hid him away at first. I find it a bit strange that people just openly accepted him, knowing that he was different from other bots. I think the other characters should have questioned Nora about him. I think exploring this would have helped make this book more well-rounded and complete.
The character developments were well thought out. The scenes were descriptive to where you can picture the scenes playing out in your head.
I was not a fan of how out of the blue Nora and Six almost tried to kiss each other. There was no build up leading to that moment. No exploration of either Nora or Six finding the other attractive, or growing feelings for one another. It just felt like it came out of no where. It needs more exploration and development. I honestly do think that Nora and Six make a cute couple, I just wish that there was more foundational work on the very beginning of the relationship. The leading parts of the relationship. Like does she think he is hot and dream about his sculpted body, does she think about him touching her even though he is just a robot, does she yearn for his lips on hers, does she wonder why she is falling for a robot, etc.
The flow of the story runs very smooth. It is paced very well. It is just rushed in certain areas that can get more development and exploration.
If you are looking for a cozy sci-fi with a tad of romance, that is a quick read, this book is for you.
Overall, I rate this book 4 out of 5. This series has great potential.

Nothing Bot Trouble
Gemma Cosmos
Nothing Bot Trouble is a cozy, sci Fi romance between a lonely human and an illegal robot.
Nora Hale decides to start a new life on the moon, finding herself immediately called to a small abandoned repair shop. Within days she is the new owner, settling into a bizarre community of outcasts including an illegal robot, a plant obsessed oddball, a teenager with rocket boots, a random cat, and the local cafe owner.
The cozy, found family vibes are strong in this book and the snark of our beloved plant lady kept me guessing.
I really, really wanted to love it, but I'm afraid this book fell too far into coziness for me; the general lack of conflict and eventual underwhelming yet predictable resolution didn't make for the best storyline.
I think if you just need a light read with some cute characters and cozy vibes, you will enjoy the found family dynamics and robot/human relationships formed.
For me, this story needed a little bit more character depth or slightly higher stakes.
All that said, it is a cute and predictable romance that brings into question what sets apart sentient life from people.

I received this book as an ARC reviewer, and I went into it open minded and excited to read it, but unfortunately, a lot of elements just fell flat for me.
The author had a heavy focus on found family, but there was a lack of character establishment before rushing into this, leaving me disconnected from the characters. Besides this, there was minimal character description. Even for the Nora, our main character, I could barely describe to someone what she looks like.
The world building was suboptimal, and I often found myself struggling to grasp what my location looked like, where exactly I was, and how the world worked.
Nora's character could have been really interesting. She flees Earth due to some big failure, yet despite this it never really affects her except for a couple of times when it's brought up. Story elements were disjointed and overall made it difficult to get through.
If you're looking exclusively for a cozy, slow-burn romance, you would probably enjoy this book, but with the lack of world and character building, it just wasn't for me.

Cozy Lunar CottageCore Love
“Nothing Bot Trouble” by Gemma Cosmos is a wonderfully sweet, cozy, non-spicy, and unconventional romance. Nora moves to a colony on the moon to start fresh, but she's drawn to an abandoned repair shop and spends her last savings on ‘Misfit Parts and Stardust Hearts’. She quickly integrates into the quirky community by repairing bots and electronics. A mysterious woman leaves an illegal, unregistered sentient droid in stasis. With a touch, Nora awakens SIX (Series Input Xperimental Unit), and together they form their misfit crew, which includes a stray cat, a strong silent succulent, and diverse neighbors. This cozy lunar cottage core story is filled with beautiful metaphors and warmly personified descriptions. The story emphasizes the importance of found family, protective community, love, safety, and strength through agency, peace, and choice. I'm excited to read more of Gemma Cosmos's cozy sci-fi stories, which blend heartfelt gear-driven romance with comfort.

Aww, this is a cute little cozy sci fi romance. I never thought I’d see myself type that out, but here we are. A woman leaves earth for the moon to start anew, and finds friends, family, togetherness and love while there. It’s sweet, it’s heartfelt and it’s charming.
I could say more about this book, but this blurb from the synopsis sums it up perfectly: Nothing Bot Trouble is a cozy sci-fi adventure with a swirl of romance featuring found family, fixing broken things, and the quiet way love learns to choose.
If that doesn’t make you feel all cozy inside, I don’t know what will. And the fact that it’s on the moon is a plus for me, as I love my sci fi books, though this would loosely be considered sci fi. Looks like this is book one in a series, so I will definitely be reading book two when it comes out.

I didn't even know cozy sci-fi was a thing but I'm so happy it exists. This is a cute, easy read set on the moon with a sweet romance undertone.
Nora and Six are really likable, and the band of supporting characters help keep it interesting. It's quirky in a good way.
I think a lot of the sci-fi genre feels heavy because there's a lot of techy, science stuff involved and that can be intimidating for those new to the genre. This story removes that barrier to entry, which I think makes this a great read for the non-typical sci-fi reader.
That being said, I'd have loved more character development and some more world building. The pacing and plot line were solid but I never felt connected to any of the characters. It didn't make me feel anything. I didn't feel the romance or found family vibes beyond just words being said between the characters.

This is a very sweet and unique cozy sci-fi romance. The main character Nora moves to the moon to start her life over and ends up buying a repair shop. She then becomes the caretaker of an illegal AI type Android, Six. Six and Nora slowly start to develop a relationship. I liked that Nora was relatable. She had been hurt in the past and the author did a good job of showing the reader how that past pain affected her relationship with Six. I liked the community she created around Nora and six as well. Favorite quote, “Name’s Jax. I deliver everything that isn’t nailed down and some things that are. Gossip, contraband, lost cats, overdue library books, the occasional kidney. You name it, I’ve skated it.”

I received this as an ARC copy. These are my own thoughts.
First of all, just the summary of this book caught me in a web. It sounded adorable and fun right from the get-go.
And honestly? It's exactly what I thought it was going to be: light-hearted, fun, cozy, a little bit of sci-fi, wholesome, fantastic characters, and so much more.
The vibes were great and I loved seeing all of the different characters. However, I wish there had been a little more lore, a little more of Nora's backstory on Earth. I wanted to learn more about her current home and more about what goes on there.
But all in all, I loved it. I hope the rest of the series features all of the characters in this series -- Especially Nora and Six! I want to know so much more than what the epilogue gave us!

Reminiscent of TJ Klunes’ In the Life of Puppets, a wonderful science fiction romance set on a moon with a solar system of trauma to run away from. Nora finds herself among the lost and techy leftovers after a horrible accident exiles her from her home. On this new outer planet, she soon discovers an unlikely friend in SIX.
The romance is geared towards a YA audience and there are themes of found family, loss, shame, grief, nature vs. nurture, and imperial justice.
It took me about 50% into the book to be in the world, and I still wanted more world building so I could feel like I was more inside the story. The story kept me moving forward. I really needed to know how we leave off our android turned sentient creature and his gadget girlfriend.

Review of advance copy received from Author
This was a really cute and fun book to read😍😍😍. I really love Six and Nora. They were amazing characters. Six was like a little sassy robot in the beginning and that reminds me a bit of R2D2 or Chopper from Star Wars. My favorite part about this book is the romance bot. It was really hilarious. My favorite moment was when Six yeeted the romance bot😆. It almost felt that Six was getting jealous of romance bot getting too close on Nora lol. I feel like Six would protect Nora on whatever it takes. It’s like they are besties. I really recommend this book if you like a fan of the wild robot, droids from Star Wars, wall-e and any kind of robots tv show or books that you’re into.

Nothing Bot Trouble was such a cute, quick read! 🤍🤖 This book had me smiling from start to finish. Nora is a wonderful FMC who leaves her life on Earth behind to head to the moon and start fresh 🌙✨ Along the way, she finds a found family in a group of lovable misfits, each with their own quirks and charm.
And Six… I mean 🥹🤍 he completely stole my heart. If you’ve ever watched Star Trek: The Next Generation, you will absolutely adore him. I couldn’t stop picturing Data the entire time, and he quickly became my favorite character! 🤖💫
If you’re looking for a cozy, lighthearted, feel-good read you can breeze through, this one is definitely for you! 📖💖 Off to find my next read! ✨📚

Nora arrives on the moon for a new life. However she stumbles upon a repair shop and decided to impulse buy it! So begins a new life with new friends and possible love in the air or space depending on how you look at it….
Furiends if you liked Legends & Lattes you will love this book. I liked the fast read and Six was adorable! I wish there was a little more backstory on Six and Nora but maybe in the next book…. And the best part of all there is a cat!! 🐈⬛

This book was simply delightful. I can’t say cozy sci-fi is a genre I have read before, but I am so glad I branched out and gave this book a try because it was a treat. Reading this book feels like sipping a hot cup of tea while wrapped in a blanket and watching the snow fall outside. It is low stakes, with a strong found family theme and guaranteed HEA. I would recommend it to anyone.
I received this book as an ARC, and there were multiple typos/ missing words/ wrong verb tenses throughout, but I did not dock points for that because hopefully those will be corrected in the final version. Thank you for the ARC, Gemma!

This was such a fun and sweet read. It was silly, as in it was full of really tasteful and cute humor, it was the epitome of what a cozy sci-fi romance should be, and the characters were all so likable.
This one follows Nora, a moonbound mechanic who stumbled upon an abandoned shop and decides to buy it and continue what the previous owner started. As she begins to do repairs, someone drops off a mysterious "package" for repairs: a sentient human-like android that is illegal on all levels. Nora and the android, Six, must stick together and hope that he isn't found.
Along with the romance and sci-fi elements, this one has a major found family trope that I can't get enough of!

This is my first ever cozy sci fi book, the cover is what grabbed my attention so I signed up to receive a review copy (thank you to the author for that)
This was a super cute and cozy story. Nora was a FMC that I fell in love with instantly. Just wanting to fix things and start over. All of the people she meets are the perfect small town vibes even though its not a town haha.
This book has the found family trope which I absolutely love and the author captured it perfectly. Highly recommend this if youre looking for a cozy read this winter.

This was a really great read, that took me away to a new world in which to explore. It took me away from what I would normally read to a whole new world. This world was nothing like what I am use to. It moves along at a great pace, making for an amazing read. These characters are interesting and unique and I cant wait to learn more about these characters and this world. This book will not disappoint, it is going to grab you and keep you reading no matter what. This book meeds to be on your TBR list, no doubt about it.

Fun Syfy read, absolutely no spice. But the heartfelt vibe it gave was honestly refreshing.
I loved the found family trope that this gave. I love a “finding oneself” trope too.
It wasn’t a long book, but it packed a punch.
Six gives Data energy from Star Trek. That simply sweet personality that just wants peace, especially for his person.
Evanora (love her name by the way) is a hurt girl who feels like she failed and is having to start over.
The plants y’all! Who knew you needed plants with personality like that.

This book is a beautiful story of overcoming hardship, rebuilding, found family, and love in all forms.
Nora is running from her old life, six is an android who should not have the appearance or emotional capacity that he does. The community comes together to support both of them without judgement only acceptance which is a wonderfully powerful message particularly against the backdrop of a crumbling lunar base and corporate bureaucracy.
If you have ever felt like you did not belong then this book will bring you into a world where you can be you without apology like the warmest of hugs.

This story captured the heart of cozy sci-fi beautifully: soft androids, capable heroines, quirky side characters, and the gentle idea that some things and some people are worth being seen for.
This book was exactly as it was advertised- a cozy, low stakes sci-fi quick read with aspects of found family and a splash of romance.
I was so lucky to have arc read this and I highly recommend this read if you’d love a cozy sci-fi with found family, and adorable romance and a silly succulent plant who is super sassy!!
