Cyborg Seduction #7
Taunting Krell
*** THIS IS A RERELEASE OF A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED BOOK *** Krell hates humans. They left him scarred and undesirable to females. He’s lived a lonely existence in his home world because of their brutality. So he’s angry when he’s ordered to interrogate the captured human. She’s the enemy, a soldier from Earth. He’ll show her the same mercy they showed him. None. Cyan didn’t expect to survive her mission against the Markus Models but she’s stunned and elated to be confronted by cyborgs. The past and present collide, however, when she sees Krell. He’s part of a dangerous secret from another life—and he’s also completely irresistible. Krell is certain Cyan can’t be trusted. He’s determined to keep her at a distance…but Cyan is just as determined to get the big, sexy cyborg into her bed.

About the author
Laurann Dohner
82 books8,722 followersI had a rather short area here telling a little about me but then I had more than a few people ask me to expand it so... here goes. LOL. I'm a full time home 'supervisor' which is a nice word for saying I'm a housewife. I'm married happily, I met my dream guy 20 years ago, and we have 4 children. I live in Southern California and I can't function without iced coffee. I believe in romance, I've always been a daydreamer, and I'm a HUGE fan of books, always have been.
No, I didn't know that I always wanted to write. I inhaled books as a child. I read entire series (Pippi Longstocking, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, Trixie Beldon, The Borrowers, etc) in a matter of days at a time. By the time I was nine years old I had an adult library card where I visited often. I moved on to John Saul, Stephen King, Richard Laymon, Agatha Christie, and then found romance. I was hooked. I wrote poetry in my teens and then moved on to short stories. My first book was started after I read a real bomb of a book that ticked me off with really horrible characters and a plot that was shabby at best and I thought... I could do better. LOL.
I wrote my first book which will probably never see the light of day in the early 90's. I wrote a series of a few books from it. I'm a series fan! I kept writing for fun, wrote MANY books and then in 2009 I decided to try to get published. I wrote my first Sci Fi romance and Ral's Woman came to be. I submitted it and with a little tweaking, Ellorascave sent me an acceptance letter. It was kind of a 'Cinderella' experience for me. It's been a terrific ride so far and I'm really happy that I finally had the time to commit to writing full time. It's a dream come true.

My sense of humor, passed down to my sons:
Older son who is studying to go into bioengineering: I'm going to work on a robotic body that we could download our human brains into.
Younger son who is a smartass: I want my brain downloaded into a roomba. No ability to talk, just roam around. I'll love it, as far as anyone can tell.
Boys! How many times have I told you no knife-fights in the house?
This book is about Cyan -a truly awesome human woman with a brain downloaded into a semi-human body. She is responsible for saving the cyborg race by helping them escape and was killed for her part in it. Luckily, her daddy didn't download her into a roomba. He had a much better model for her.
No, he did better than that. As a matter of fact, he used the model of a sex droid for her body, including some giant knockers. Now, I just have to ask everyone - who the hell's dad decides to download his daughter's brain into a sex-bot? If my dad were to download my brain into a body, it would look more like this:
Message: stay away from my daughter!
But, at least creepy-dad made her totally kickass, and sarcastic - my favorite of superpowers!
"No. Yes. No." He backed away.
"Decisive. I like that in a man," she chuckled.
The cyborgs don't believe that she is the same girl who saved them because of her new and improved body. So, they assign to total a-hole douche to guard her - Krell. Krell is an idiot. It is so obvious that she is the same girl, plus she keeps doing everything she can to help the cyborgs again and again. But, he refuses to trust her.
He started to hand her a fork but paused, glancing at her and then it, and back. Wariness narrowed his eyes.
"For real? Seriously?" She held out her hand, palm up. "What do you think? I'm going to try to prong you to death? I don't know who that would be more embarrassing for - you dying by fork or me needing to use something so silly to take you out."
That's right, Krell! It's not like it's a spork or something. That, I could understand.
Of course they fall in love - very quickly. But, I didn't get what she saw in this guy. He never really stopped being a stupid jerk. I guess love is blind, deaf, and dumb.

Keep to the mission. Discover the truth. Stop thinking about how damn sexy she is and how much of a bastard I feel like now for the flash of pain I saw in her eyes when I left her room. It’s just an act on her part. No woman really wants me. I’m damaged.
Gah, this book was amazing!! I love this series and it just keeps getting better!!!

Krell & Cyan
Emily was a human with special needs who required assistance 24 hours per day. Emily was also the daughter of the scientist who created Cyborgs. She used to adore them and she wanted to stop their torturing. Her best friend and her personal assistant, Mavo, is a Cyborg and she even had a little childish crush on him. As a result, she helped them escape, send Mavo to save another Cyborg who was being tortured and scarred and she got lethally shot.
Many many many years after Cyborg’s successful escape, Cyan is captured by them. She appears to be a human soldier and she is after a bunch of humanlike androids, called Marcus models. The fleshy androids are very dangerous for humans and anyone that lives and breaths around them. Unfortunately they have managed to escape Earth and death is following them anywhere they land.
Cyan used to be Emily. At least a more advance version of her, after her dad work on her almost dead body.
Krell is the Cyborg that Mavo saved during the escape. Scarred and lonely avoids everyone except Mavo who is his best friend.
It is time for a reunion, but Cyan cannot convince Krell that she is the one that saved them. She does not resemble at all Emily anymore. She is shorter, indestructible, deadly and a true soldier.
Krell is another Cyborg who hates humans. Cyan will make him see the light and subsequently Krell will be totally addicted to her. Ah, true love is all around…
Cyan/Emily is my favorite kick-ass heroine in the series so far. She totally steals the show and shows Cyborgs a few tricks.

The heroine: Cyan - After breaking a general’s thumb for grabbing her butt, she is sent on a possible suicide mission to recover Marcus model androids who were deadly, dangerous and nearly impossible to kill. The Marcus models all look alike, and their AI is all messed up. They became sentient and self-aware but have no morality. Cyan is a computer programmer and a spaceship pilot and was sent to a space station that was nearly decimated by the Marcus models.
The Hero: Krell - He is a cyborg who was in the rebellion on earth. He was tortured and scarred and hates humans because of it. Since then, he has become one of the best human interrogators on the cyborg planet. He can easily tell if a human is telling the truth or not by touching their pulse points. Many think he has become crazy recently.
The story: Cyan was sent on the mission without any armed soldiers to back her up. When she gets to the space station, she finds most of the humans had died and she finds one Marcus model near death, she puts it out of its misery. Though she finds out that someone else had docked on the station after her, so she isn’t alone. She is troubled when she sees the men are not Marcus models, but cyborgs. She was so surprised that they survived, and she surrendered to them.
There was some backstory in this book about who or what Cyan really is and what her father did to her to keep her alive. Even if she wanted to, she couldn’t tell the cyborgs because of something in her brain which prevented her from saying certain things. Krell is brought in to interrogate Cyan.
I must say that I loved Cyan. She doesn’t hold back when she tells the cyborg council what she thinks of some of their laws. The fact that she is singularly knowledgeable about the subject made that scene even better. I have been thinking all of those same things since the beginning of this series, so I was cheering her on.
This book was told in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Mindy Kennedy. She has done a great job and I am liking her more and more with each book in this series. She has a terrific voice and displays emotion through her voice very well.

Taunting Krell is book seven in the Cyborg Seduction series by Laurann Dohner.
It takes us into the past to see the beginning of things for the cyborg people and then we jump into an interesting situation.
Cyan our heroine played a big part in setting the Cyborg’s free. Though she is not the same women she was back then. I really enjoyed her dressing down to the Cyborg Council. She was not happy with how they set up their society and she let them know it. She didn’t give up her life for them to set up the forced family structures and breeding program they have. It was time someone did this. They needed to hear it. Wither it will change things, only time will tell, but it was needed.
Krell our hero was brutalized and scared by the humans. He does not care for them. He’s a loner and the Cyborg society doesn’t see him either because of his scares. They see that as an imperfection. He’s not in a good place when Cyan comes along. Yet, Cyan see’s him and he needed that. He need someone to see him.
Taunting Krell gives us a few surprises along the way. There’s passion, intrigue, and excitement. The plot was interesting and moved along. I have to say I really liked Cyan; because she was such a strong heroine. As for the cyborg council I don’t care for them and don’t think I ever will. The romance was nice and enjoyable; between Krell and Cyan.
The Cyborg Seduction series is a nice sexy escape.
Rated: 3.5 Stars

I loved this one! Cyan totally kicked ass! I thought I would have trouble with the premise of the story, but it worked. Krell totally redeemed himself for his shitty behavior in previous books and how he acted in the beginning. I understood his anger and hesitancy. Although I think his distrust went on way too long.

An enjoyable read, for me the highlight of this book is Cyan - she's a fab character and totally kickass. A strong heroine, Krell as a character isn't bad but feel like he was missing something.
The cyborg council is starting to really get on my nerves however, they really need to change things. Overall the plot was interesting and made me keep going. This is book 7 in the Cyborg Seduction series, but you don't need to read them in order.

Some parts were good, but the romantic interaction was kind of blah.
This was ok, but not as fun as the previous books. The conflict between the couple was weak. Throughout the story, Krell does not trust Cyan. He thinks she is a spy from earth who will send back information to harm his people. Cyan does many things to show she is on Krell’s side, but he continues to have doubts until the end. It was not the best story for me. To add conflict, implants were put into Cyan’s brain that caused extreme pain if she talked about her prior life, who she was, who her father was, etc. This means she couldn’t tell them who she was. Why would her loving father implant things to cause torture to his daughter? That was kind of contrived, but I’ll go with it.
The good parts were some cool action scenes with the heroine saving the day. She outsmarts and wins against enemy androids and dangerous creatures, using knowledge, skills, and bravery.
The sex scenes were pretty good if you don’t mind Cyan being the initiator. I usually prefer the guy being the initiator and/or being more alpha during sex. Krell doesn’t want to trust her and doesn’t want to have sex with her, but he is turned on against his wishes. Krell was tortured by humans and has scars. He thinks all females are repulsed by him. But Cyan is not. It is hard for Krell to believe she is attracted to him.
This is book #7 in the Cyborg Seduction series. These are not full length novels. They are about 2/3 the length. You don’t need to read them in order, but I’d recommend it. My favorites were books 4, 5, and 6: Touching Ice, Stealing Coal, and Redeeming Zorus. I had problems with the first one, Burning Up Flint, gave that 2 ½ stars.

4.5 Stars
This is one of my favorites from the series, and a big reason is because of the h. Cyan has an interesting backstory and is totally kickass. She’s sarcastic, witty, and bold, all without being abrasive or bitchy. Krell was no slouch either; he has that sexy, scarred, broody thing going on. I also LOVED that Cyan chewed their asses about their messed-up family unit and breeding contracts.
“You’ve made it a law to force women to be breeders? What is wrong with you? What is so different about you than them? You think about that long and hard. There’s always a good reason for the shitty things people do. It still doesn’t make it right, does it?”
Her shoulders sagged. “Please just leave. I’m having a bad day. I discovered you survived, made total crap out of the freedom you’ve been given, and now once again the body I’ve been put into has another drawback. You wouldn’t try to force your laws on me if I were totally human. I don’t want anything to do with you if this is what you’ve become.”
I also loved how she owned her sexuality. That covo on masturbation…no shame. 👏👏 And Krell was a total boss in the bedroom.
Bottom Line- By far my favorite h, and one of the best in the series. Krell denied his feelings for quite a while, but I loved the drama.

Another great story in the Cyborg Seduction series. The series seems to have really hit its stride and shows no sign of letting up. I think the stories are getting stronger. They seem to be getting more plot driven and less erotica driven. Sex scenes are all very well and the ones here are lovely but I really want to know what’s happening with my couple and how the war with the Markus Models is going. This was my favorite heroine so far. Cyan was a kick butt gal but she was very sensitive and loving along with it. She was physically and emotionally strong. Krell was also a great character. He was scarred and antisocial and was not a desired mate in the Cyborg world as a result. Watching him fall for her and realize she wanted him was sweet. I only wish the story had played out over a longer period of time to really allow their feelings to develop naturally. That would have involved more pages you say? I would have been happy if the book had been twice as long. The writing and plotting of this series is getting better and better. Can’t wait to see whose story is next and where the Markus Models will strike again.

Love this series and was so glad when this book came out that I bought it the first day. As some of my Goodfriends know, I have this thing for the tortured hero and Krell sure was that. Tortured and about to be killed, he's rescued by his friend when Emily aka Cyan, helps the cyborgs initially escape when she learns they are about to be terminated. She's the disabled daughter of their creator and is shot in the chest when she helps with the escape. Her dad saves her by changing everything about her except for her brain/memories. She finds out the cyborgs aren't really dead and has to convince them of who she is and that she can be trusted now that she isn't physically the same person anymore.
Fantastic story. For awhile I thought Laurann Dohner might do the menage + marriages like Kaitlyn O'Connor, but nope, she's a one man/one woman writer. As soon as the next one comes out, I'm buying it.

** re-read,What can I say Laurann Dohner is a genius, I loved this book the story line was so original and fantastic and the way she excited it was perfect, This may be the best in the series so far, now I'm anxious for book eight. Many authors don't have the talent to write a series this long and not have a lag in the series or a complete falling apart of what the series was originally intended.
Mrs Dohner didn't have either of these problems this series started great and has just gotten better with each book, Laurann can write anything. Krell's job is to interrogate and get information any way possible to make sure the Cyborg race is safe, and the claims of who many believe Cyan to be are crazy and he's sure that she is really a spy, When Cyan see's the Cyborgs she is ecstatic that the Cyborgs are safe and still alive but when she see's Krell she can't believe her eye's and she is soon trying to convince him she is who she claims and finds herself falling in love with Krell but Krell has a hard time trusting and he has good reasons to not trust.
Then Threat to the entire Cyborg race forces Krell to finally choose if he can trust Cyan and give into his felling for her. If I could get everyone to read this book I would, this is one book that everyone needs to try so they can see the talent that is Laurann Dohner.

Me estoy dando pie vencida con esta serie.
•Mi opinión puede contener Spoilers.
•Esta destinada a ser un descargo personal no para que alguien más lea pero si lo haces y te ofende, me disculpo porque sé lo que es que te guste un libro y otros lo critiquen.
Argumento:
Krell odia a los humanos. Lo dejaron marcado e indeseable para las mujeres. Ha vivido una existencia solitaria en su mundo natal debido a su brutalidad. Así que se enfada cuando se le ordena interrogar al humano capturado. Ella es el enemigo, un soldado de la Tierra. Él le mostrará la misma misericordia que le mostraron a él. Ninguno.
Cyan no esperaba sobrevivir a su misión contra Markus Models, pero está atónita y eufórica de enfrentarse a los cyborgs. Sin embargo, el pasado y el presente chocan cuando ve a Krell. Es parte de un peligroso secreto de otra vida, y también es completamente irresistible.
Krell está seguro de que no se puede confiar en Cyan. Está decidido a mantenerla a distancia... pero Cyan está igualmente decidido a llevar al cyborg grande y sexy a su cama.
Taunting Krell de Laurann Dohner libro 7 de la serie Cyborg seduction
Mi humilde opinión:
Emily sufría una enfermedad que la mantenía en silla de ruedas y poco tiempo de vida pero ella hizo algo significativo en su vida: darles a los Cyborgs su libertad.
Aquello también provocó su muerte. Pero su padre, el creador de los Cyborgs, le salvo la vida dándole un nuevo cuerpo, uno mejorado que nunca envejeceria.
Décadas después, con nombre nuevo, Cyan, buscando los modelos Markus, androides asesinos, se encuentra con Cyborgs, los que pensó habían muerto y no puede estar más feliz de volver a verlos y saber que sus esfuerzos no fueron en vano.
Pero ellos desconfían de ella, piensan que es una espía de la tierra.
Krell es asignado a mantener bajo su protección a la espía, él no confía en los humanos y así es con Cyan. Ella dice ser Emily quien los liberó y que su conciencia está en ese nuevo y mejorado cuerpo. Un cuerpo que lo provoca. Que le hace desear en contra de su voluntad.
Cyan le demostrará al malumorado cyborg que puede confiar en ella y que con cicatrices y todo solo es él a quien quiere.
Creo que lo que más me gustó de este libro fue Cyan. Ella es un personaje atractivo. Con una personalidad fuerte. Ella pateaba traseros con un cuerpo mejorado y una boca contestadora. Por eso
hubiera querido que fuera más dura con Krell . El tipo con su desconfianza me daban ganas de matarlo.
Todo el comienzo con ella como humana y con su amigo cyborg me gustó mucho leer. Cómo los liberaba a pesar de que ella no podía irse con ellos. Eran partes tristes.
Krell no me gustó exactamente, me parece que le faltó. Una pena porque me había atraído su historia de Cyborg con cicatrices.
Esta fue una lectura flojita.

5 Taunting Krell Stars
I am flying through this series, as it goes on each book just gets better and better and better.
I remember this book from the first time I read it, but I forgot just how much this book has in it.
You have Krell who hates humans, and you have Cyan who loves Cyborgs so much that she risked her frail human life to help them flee from Earth.
Now that she is more machine than human, it’s not always easy for them to trust in who she really is. It’s a pretty fantastic book about learning to believe in what you can’t see but what you feel. Emotions are a messy thing but everyone has that gut instinct right.
This whole dynamic is fun to listen to, Mindy again does a phenomenal job. Loved it and can’t wait to listen to more!
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Started a re-read
Loved, loved, loved this book. It's one of my favs of the cyborg seduction series. We finally got some info on how the cyborgs were created and how they escaped earth. We met Krell in previous books and i'm so glad he finally found love. Cyan is the perfect women to heal his wounds and let him trust again.

4.5 Stars
MINOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT:
I really liked this book. Despite being so short and over so quickly, I got really attached to the characters and their story line. I even cried a couple of times for Cyan and what she had gone through in her life. I’m so glad she found happiness with Krell.
The only complaint I have with this book is that I feel like the author could have gone in a different direction and the book would have been better. If she has paired Cyan and Mavo instead, I feel like this book would have had a bigger emotional impact and I would have been more invested in the romantic pairing. I loved Krell and Cyan don’t get me wrong, I just feel like there were some better options. Hell, pairing Deviant and Cyan would have made one great book! Imagine what drama that pair would have created since Cyan used to have a crush on his father! I would have SO eaten that story up!
Anyways, I will obviously be continuing the series. I am especially excited to get to Deviant’s story after reading this book!

Cyan Eous, an interspace soldier for Earth's military, has been sent to investigate a distress message sent from the Belta Station. She arrives to find no survivors and few clues as to what happened until she discovers a non functioning Markus Model droid with the dead bodies. The Mardus Models droids are emotionless independent thinking machines who have no sense of morality and kill anyone or anything in their way. Just as Cyan is leaving to file an official report she encounters unknown soldiers who are of the opinion that SHE was responsible for the deaths of all the inhabits on the space station. To her surprise she finds out they're cyborgs. Beings who were thought to be eradicated many years ago on Earth because they were dangerous, unpredictable, with the ability to kill without provication.
Kruell, a cyborg interrogator, is called in to determine if the Earther discovered is a spy. She claims to have a history of being a friend to the cyborgs but has no factual information to back that up. Kruell had been tortured in the mass escape from Earth and has no love for humans or Earth in general but there's something about Cyan that's different. She's definitely hiding something and it's his job to discover what that is.
Another installment in the "Cyborg Seduction" series featuring cyborg alpha males and strong willed Earth women. I recently started reading this series because of a group challenge and really didn't have high hopes I'd enjoy it. I have never been a fan of cyborg, machines, or such in the past. Maybe because of the "Terminator" series or such. Cyborgs are evil and emotionless. I guess this goes to show me that with the right author anything is possible if done right.
Kruell. What a man .... cyborg. He'd been put through hell and has scars from the past both inside and outside with the result that he's closed himself off because he's been deemed as undesirable by his own kind. Yet, there are those who haven't given up on him including Sky & Zorus and have pulled him in to deal with Cyan. Of course he doesn't want to. Of course he's "persuaded" to. Of course the two have a lust reaction with action packed adult content scenes that knocked my socks off. There was a slant that had me hopeful the relationship would have a BDSM flair but that pretty much was dead in the water as the erotic play was kinky with some D/s but not BDSM.
The storyline was very well written. Sci fi intrigures me and I do tend to look for books with this slant in the adult fictional romantic genre but usually don't find too many that live up to my expectations. I was quite thrilled when I discovered this one (and the other installments) did. I do think this one is the best on so far though. The addition of Cyan does add a new element for the author to branch off of for future intstallments so I'm excited to see where this goes.

This was ok. Feeling a kind of grumbling disappointment that there wasn't more hot sex. Though it was interesting to get more info on their history, I didn't get this book for a history lesson............3 1/2

My favorite so far. I love the 'cavemen' tyoes so much better, because it is that much more fun to watch the women bring them to their knees,
Full review coming soon

I like Cyan. She is a BAMF, and I don't want to mess with her. I think that she is perfect for Krell, and she won't let him pull away.

Summary: Note for the confused: apparently cyborgs and androids are different things. This confused me at first because I assumed they were similes but actually in this book, cyborgs and androids are on different sides.
Science fiction romance between a human (in a manufactured body) and a cyborg. Those are also different. Cyan is captured by cyborgs and is desperate to prove that she is a friend to them rather than a spy. She is temporarily assigned to Krell in order for him to work out whether she is telling the truth or not. Sexy shenanigans occur, but can Krell ever trust her?
Don't expect literary genius. This is essentially the B movie of books: it ain't pretty, it doesn't have all the linguistic bells and whistles but the sex is good and the ass kicking is fun.

4.25 stars! This was such a good read that I read it in one sitting! It also gave me Choosing Theo vibes, which I loved because it's one of my favorite books!
I was hooked from the prologue and actually thought that both Emily and Mavo were star crossed lovers who would reunite as different people somehow and a part of me is disappointed that wasn't the case but also happy that she ended up with Krell. I just wish that there were more scenes with Cyan and Mavo so that we could see more of jealous Krell! I also wish that Krell trusted her a bit earlier on so we could have more scenes of them being happy in each other's company. I really liked Cyan's personality, especially her relentless selflessness for the cyborgs. I love how she was an independent woman and how she refused to conform to the cyborgs' way and even knocked them down a few pegs at the beginning!
Although I haven't read any of the other books in the series (this can be read as a standalone btw), I'm definitely going back and rereading the other books!

So Cyan is rebuilt human, saved from an incurable disease who was friend to the cyborg from the very beginning and instrumental to their release. She meets scarred cyborg Krell who is shunned for his ugliness. They do a lot of sexy fighting then get it on. Krell can’t trust Cyan and get over his insecurities and Cyan can’t accept the cyborg way of life so they just grapple out their differences. Just my kind if read. Cyan was kickass and independent, choosing the hulking, quiet underdog above all others. I love a hulking/sulking hero. It was my favourite in the series so far.
March 28, 2022
Good. I liked Krell’s inherent fairness, despite having been dealt a pretty shitty hand. The unpleasantness of the Cyborg society is really getting to me though. Their logical decisions, never based on emotion, the transactional nature of nearly all things, the focus on perfection - there is no in between, it’s always right or wrong. Gah. I want to read/listen to the rest of the series, but I am going to take a break so I don’t get too annoyed to enjoy the stories.
