Programmed For Power

The Tau Cetus Chronicles #3

by Jenna Ives

As the powerful premier of war-torn Tau Cetus, Theus presides over an uneasy post-apocalyptic peace. Many plot against him, including a traitor on his own High Council as well as one rogue woman who dared to steal a precious keepsake from his past. Capturing Leora Smith offers Theus a chance at personal revenge, but she awakens emotions in him he thought long dead. Even so, it takes an assassination attempt to spur Theus to reassess a future with either this prisoner who makes his blood run hot or the Beautiful Doll robotic lover who’s the perfect match for his lifeless existence.

About the author

Jenna Ives lives in Southern California, and has the typical problem that affects a lot of modern authors — multiple personality disorder. She writes for several publishers under a variety of names, but mostly the reason is to keep her poor sainted mother (who used to read Barbara Cartland and Georgette Heyer) from having a heart attack over how sexy modern romances have become!

And Jenna certainly DOES write sexy…

Once again, Jenna was able to deliver undeniable heat between the two main stars while also orchestrating a well thought-out plot..... Who's the traitor targeting Theus?

As for the sex aspect of the science fiction tale, there were multiple occasions when Theus still sought out a bot to get sexual release. With Keira performing fellatio at 19mph, Theus has grown accustomed to "quickies". Maybe that's why he enjoyed the slow burn of a real woman (Leora) performing oral on him.

Real versus plastic?
Real wins again!

Now back to the plot, don't expect Theus to go down via gunshot or stab wound. The traitor had other plans for him but, as you expected, the hero comes out victorious again.

HEA

Programmed For Power was a very satisfying end to this series. Tau Cetus' premier Theus is torn between his safe robotic lover and the exciting human woman he believes is his enemy. It's a very unique love triangle!
