3.5 stars. Read this on a whim when it showed up as a Kindle recommendation and I'm so glad I that I did! Was not expecting to adore a cyborg love story between a space captain and what was essentially a computer program this much. I love scifi romances though, and this one was fun.
I really enjoyed the scenes with the FMC learn to use her cybernetic connection to her ship, and also the scenes with her connecting with the MMC through those connections and through her implants. It was fascinating.
I was a bit confused in some areas because some of the world around them isn't explained very much. This is the third book in a series of standalones, so it seems that some things were explained in previous books and not explained again here. I was able to keep up with what was happening, but there was definitely an overarching storyline that I wasn't privy to, having not read the previous books.
Also they fell for each other pretty quickly because the first 3 weeks of their time together is rushed past. They fell for each other in that time, but we're only given a few pages of those weeks before they're both really into each other. It's a shame, because their romance was so sweet and tender. They became each other's comfort. I would have loved to have seen it grow to that.
There were a few other aspects that I didn't enjoy, like some body betrayal (excuse me you were just kidnapped and tortured), and what exactly a captain does when the MMC could do it all himself with little thought, but I was able to enjoy the book regardless. Also I tend to lean towards liking more sex scenes in a book anyway. 👹
Overall, this was a fun romantic adventure. I was surprised in many ways with the characters and the circumstances they found themselves in, and I was left wanting to read more.
