Spoiled heiress Camila has enjoyed a privileged life thanks to her politically connected family. Sheltered from the harsh realities of the galaxy, she has no idea that her vacation plans are about to go horribly awry.
To survive the emperor’s murderous plot, cyborgs Misko, Andro and Branko lead a small group of civilians into an escape pod. During a chaotic launch, Andro is badly injured, and Misko and Branko find themselves holding their panicked group together. Soon, their limping escape pod strands them in space.
All seems lost—until a private ship crosses their path.
Hijacked by filthy criminals, Camila tries to flee but is captured by Misko. He quickly identifies her as precious cargo and decides to keep her—in his cabin, tied to his bed.
Misko isn’t sure why he’s fascinated by the bratty blonde who tried to claw his eyes out, but he’s compelled to keep her close—naked and writhing underneath him close.
Soon, that infuriating, handsome cyborg hasn’t just hijacked Camila’s ship, he’s hijacked her heart.
Faced with losing Misko, Camila vows to risk everything to save him from the emperor’s death squads. She wants Misko in her life, by her side, in her bed, forever—and she always gets what she wants.
While browsing bookstore shelves as a teenager, Lo discovered the erotic writings of Anaïs Nin and A.N. Roquelaure. Certain her mother would not approve, Lo smuggled the books home and squirreled them away in the most likely of places: under her bed. Late at night, she delved into the sensual worlds both writers created.
As a co-ed studying biochemistry and genetics at Texas A&M University, Lo dabbled in creating naughty tales to entertain her friends. Study for a midterm or pen a deliciously dirty story to delight her small band of fans? Not surprisingly, Lo is now on an extended sabbatical from college.
Luckily, Lo stumbled onto the world of erotic romance publishers. She realized there were other readers and writers who loved and craved breathtaking romance with the spiciest of love scenes. She took a chance and submitted her first novella. The rest is history.
Lo lives in Texas with her family and beloved Great Dane, Bosley.
This is the first book in the series and I have to say I enjoyed it. There was a bit of humor, which I appreciated amidst all the action. Since this is the first book I expected World building, but I don't feel that it got in the way of the action. It was a quick read, but also perfect for picking up and putting down often. If you are wondering whether to spend the money on this book in the cyborg romance genre, I say yes, it's one of the best I've read so far.
I really enjoyed this story, it’s not long, but it well developed. This series has some of my favorite romance authors. Lolita Lopez’s Grabbed series was my first sci fi romance series and remains to this day one of my favorites. AM Griffin and Michelle Howard are next. The series Dangerously by Griffin and Warlord by Howard are tops for me also.
Wow! This was a great read. I loved the relationship that built between Misko, the cyborg and Camilla, the spoiled brat. The action had me sitting up asI was reading because OMG, the Emperor Shui is bat sh#& crazy! This is an awesome new series. I’m looking forward to book 3.
The Empower is nuts. Camila is a sweet, organized, caring person in private. Online as a social media star she is spoiled, uncaring, and lazy. The Cyborgs are being rounded up along with their families and tortured and killed. Camila resists and then realizes babies and children are involved and decides to help. Loved it. Love Lolita Lopez . Need more from her!!!
Okay short story and okay characters. Not very alien aliens. Some typos, mild spice, vanilla "alien cyborg"? (Mildly advanced humans on a world with a different name but no different than Earth) romance.
I really like Ms. Lopez's books. I enjoy Camilla's character. She was a party girl with depth who really had been caring for the people around her all along. Spicy and sweet, this was a good read.
