High Plains Cyborg
C487 (a.k.a. Clint) and Jo - C487 is a cyborg, he was once human and in the military and they changed him. He no longer feels human. He is one of the cyborgs tasked with terraforming Mars. Now that humans arrived to claim their parcels of land, the cyborgs could either go back to Earth and the military or stay on mars and act as law enforcement for the newly arriving settlers. When the crowd of humans start to get unruly, he tries to get the small male he saw in line before the fella gets himself killed.
Jo was 5th in line after standing in line all night, in order to get the plot she had her eyes on. She was one of the few woman who applied to go to Mars and farm some of the land. She thought it best to dress as a man and not bring as much attention to herself. She came to Mars with her friend Nicky who betrayed her by deciding to work at the Power Plant rather than helping her farm the land.
C487 started to feel protective of Jo since he first saw her, even when he thought she was a boy or small man. Though when he found out that that she was a single female who is going to farm a claim nearly two hours from town, he felt even more protective of her.
This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Eve Leonard and Rock Engle. Eve Leonard has a strong clear voice though a bit low, which in other books might have annoyed me but for Jo, who was a strong tomboyish woman, it was perfect. Rock Engle has a deep voice which worked well for the tall, muscular cyborg.
The world building was terrific though the story seemed to be missing something. It was a shorter book, but still everything happened a bit too fast and there was no depth to the story or the scenes.
The Good, the Bad and the Cyborg
M-231 (a.k.a. Morgan) and Hattie - Hattie lost her home on Earth when her mother died. She had lived with and taken care of her sick mother for years. She was adopted and there are laws on Earth about inheritance and only biological children can inherit. When she went to her boss and told him about her predicament, her boss suggested that she go to Mars with him since his company wanted him to go there and settle. He needed to fit in, and thinks a wife might help with that.
Hattie marries her boss Winthrop and four months later he died. She found herself in another sticky situation when the powers that be said the terms of her homestead contract was for two people and she couldn’t keep it alone. She needs a partner for her land really quick.
M-231 had been attracted to Hattie from the first time he saw her, but she was married to a good man, so he had to sit on the sidelines. However, after her husband died when she is in trouble, he wants to be the one to step in and help her. She had noticed him before but told herself it was because he was so big.
This story was also told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Brooke Hayden and Ryan West who both did a great job. Ryan West has a laid back way of speaking which I really liked and Brook Hayden has a clear feminine voice which worked perfectly for Hattie.
This one was longer than the first book and I thought it would be more fleshed out, but it still seemed like something was missing at the start. The two main characters needed to get to know each other better before things heated up. However, this one did have a good side storyline including a mystery and though some things didn’t quite add up, like why it was all a secret to begin with, it was an interesting storyline. There were a bit too much instances of sexy time for my taste, I tend to like stories with less instances of intimate times as long as the instances are really hot and steamy.
A Fistful of Cyborg
S-756 (a.k.a. Sam) and Addie - S-756 is the Judge of the settlement on Mars and the head of the cyborgs (Law Enforcement) on the planet. He is older than most of the other cyborgs and has a deep seated hate of all humans. Though he has accepted the few human women who have formed relationships with the cyborgs under him. He is the biggest, meanest and toughest of all the cyborgs.
The book begins with a flashback to when Sam was first changed into a cyborg and some things that he went through. The scientists who changed him performed all kinds of experiments on him. Though his nanites fixed most injuries and adapted to most situations, they didn’t exempt him from pain or torture. At the time, there was an especially sadistic scientist called Dr. Mingle, who loved demonstrating that a cyborg is a machine and not a man. There was a female scientist who helped Sam as much as she could and comforted him and made him feel like he was still a man.
Addie was that female scientist, and she had loved Sam. However, he hadn’t known what she’d had to do to save him and the next day he was put on the Mars mission. He hated humans based on what Dr. Mingle and Addie had done to him and he had finally accepted that he was not a man, but just a machine. So when Addie shows up on Mars, and in trouble, S-756 has conflicting emotions which annoys him to no end, because he doesn’t want anything to do with emotions.
This book was narrated by Aiden Snow and Mackenzie Cartwright. I love Aiden Snow’s voice and I have been searching out books that he narrates lately. He has a deep but soft voice which is super sexy, in my opinion. Mackenzie Cartwright is a very good narrator with a nice feminine voice that sounds intelligent which is perfect for Addie. I like the fact that this collection of books each has different narrators. I get a bit tired of the same narrators when reading a series.
This one still had some minor plot holes and story contradictions, like the fact that the Earth military and government knew how to create cyborgs and wouldn’t give up their secrets to the GenCon Corporation, but they had no problem giving the company a cyborg to use as a test subject in order to figure out how to copy the technology.

4 "This is my kind of Kool-Aid" Stars!
Honey Phillips has become a go to for a fun sci-fi romp! There's always a super sweet/BA male, a sweet but feisty damsel in some type of distress, often a kiddo, and always a pet. I love it! In this case we have cyborg cowboys. Yep. Ex Earth soldiers turned cyborgs in order to help colonize Mars. Throw in three ladies there to settle the land, some bad guys out to hurt said ladies in whatever way, three ex military cyborgs to the rescue, and you have three winners for me. I will definitely read the others in the series. Happy reading!

I stumbled across Honey when I had finished another authors books. I have been on a bit of a sci fi romance blitz. Just something to get lost in other than the norm. Where you can do what you want because it is sci fi.
Trust me you will not be disappointed. I enjoyed this one so much that I am now working my way through all her books. Gotta love Kindle Unlimited.

A fantastic series, great characters, with an overall arc that will keep you interested!
Book 1, High Plains Cyborg:
I loved it! The perfect length for night reading! I loved this sweet and fast-paced story! It was the perfect length to read at bedtime on a work night, and I appreciate the brevity as well as this beautiful story. Jo and Clint made a cute couple, eventually, but their journey helped define their characters and their absolute perfectness together. I can't wait to see if Morgan gets a story too!
Book 2, The Good, the Bad, and the Cyborg:
An easy to read, quick paced addiction, Hattie and Morgan were certainly worth losing some sleep over. What seems to start off as a partnership of convenience soon turns into more, and the story is beautiful. Hattie needs Morgan but he needs her just as much. The story grows steadily, beginning with a fantastic story about settling on Mars that morphs into an intriguing mystery that runs the same race with the developing love story. I read this in one sitting, it was hard to put down once I started it! I hope there will be more coming in this storyline. Maybe Cherry and the Judge? Who knows? On top of that, I'm dying to know what's going to come of Hattie and Morgan's new neighbors!
Book 3, A Fistful of Cyborg:
A beautiful redemption story! I've looked forward to this story for months! Finally getting to read it was exciting and worth the wait. The love story was heartbreaking, both Addie and Sam carried the hurt that was forced on them by someone else. I loved the way the story unfurled, a wave of emotion at a time, and how each chapter of the story brought their love for each other back. The story was easy to read, there were no mistakes to distract me, and the action kept building. Now I'm looking forward to the next one, so please write fast!

Listened to the Audible version because it is in the Plus catalog, but that version is not on Goodreads.
I had rather high hopes for this when I first started listening to it. The first novella is by far the weakest story and gave me nothing new. But the full length novels were able to dig in a little more, I just wanted them to dig in even more. We have Cyborgs. On Mars. And yes, it does what it says on the package. Which is great! And the author even brushes up against what this means. And the implications for consent, and the line between humanity and technology. And colonialism. But these issues are only ever alluded to and brushed up against, not interrogated. I would have liked to see more of that.
Thematically, it's a Space Western vibe which I really loved.
Another thing I loved, with a caveat is the birth control solution, which is that the nanites running rampant in the blood of the cyborgs renders them infertile. The caveat is that this is later undone in the epilogues where all the couples decide to have kids and apparently the cyborgs can just adjust their nanites to allow fertilization. If they can change their own nanites, couldn't they do that in other ways? Or adjust them right out of their blood? That might not change their legal status as cyborgs but it certainly opens the door. I wish the infertility hadn't been a throwaway.

As always with Honey Phillips, I really enjoyed these stories. She did some great world-building here in an Earth future that is polluted and over-crowded, and where Mars is being colonized as a new hope. The stories are exciting, and the romance is both tender and steamy.
This boxed set contains the first three books in the series. Each could be read as a stand-alone, but they are tied together by setting--the early colonization of Mars--and the hunky cyborgs who did the initial terraforming and are now law enforcement for Earth government. There are also some overlapping characters.
High Plains Cyborg is the tale of the first of the cyborgs who gets back in touch with his human side as he develops tender feelings for a woman settler. He has a lot of doubt to overcome, as the cyborgs have been treated as less than human and have spent a decade alone on Mars doing the work that was impossible for unmodified humans to do.
The Good, the Bad, and the Cyborg follows a widow struggling to keep her homestead after her husband's death and the cyborg who has fallen in love with her from afar.
A Fistful of Cyborg is a second-chance love story of a scientist and a cyborg who never thought they'd see each other again, fighting to overcome the mistrust and pain of past events and build a future and family.

High Plains Cyborg - A fun new series start featuring the brave, the bold and the brazen. Cyborgs, homesteaders and Mars. Cowboy lit with a science fiction romance flair
Good, the Bad, the Cyborg - featuring the brave, the bold and the brazen. Cyborgs, homesteaders and Mars. Cowboy lit with a science fiction romance flair. Just what is the secret behind the GenCon corporation. An intriguing mystery that may be solved/revealed more in book 2... maybe?
Fishful of Cyborg - When greed is a factor, morality and humanity goes out the window. Chapter 1 really shows the depths that mad science can play in the struggle for the future. S-756 (Sam) firmly believes that Addie betrayed him. And when he rescues her from a bad situation, their encounter brings up all of the negative feelings he has. Will the chance for revenge be worth the damage to his remaining soul? Will her past actions be revealed for the reality of truth? Will Sam and Addie have a future on Mars?

Wow! I loved this!
Other than having a western vibe, that I gathered from the title, I wasn't sure what to expect. Since I love both a good western and a good alien romance, I dove in! And I'm so glad I did. The author wrote an excellent story that is the perfect mix of western and sci-fi. I couldnt wait to start each one in this bundle and sad when it finished. I definitely want more!! Great characters and I absolutely loved the horses!!
The audio narration is perfectly done and really enjoyable!

I absolutely loved these books! Number three was the one that I liked the best, though. It's a second chance romance. It has a dark theme at the start but lightens up throughout the book. Toss in a cute little girl, a beautiful AI horse, a psycho ex, and you have one excellent book! I loved all the narrators, especially Ryan West and Rock Engle.

Mars—The New Frontier!
Taming the harsh climate of Mars was the reason the cyborgs were sent there by Earth’s government. The jobs and free land lured all sorts of men and a few remarkable women to make the one way trip. Once there, three women face challenges due to betrayal, death and greed. Will the cyborg rangers be able to protect them? Enjoy these fast paced stories.

Another great Hoeny Phillips series to love and the audio was so good!
I love this new mars world and its characters. Gruff, rugged cyborgs and the strong women they fall for. They were all great happily ever after stories and I loved that they were each there own but had the continuing plot of the mystery and drama of gencon and the all that. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Light spicy series
My comments pertain to all three books in this boxed set. Great heroes, an interesting setting, and excellent editing. Will this series change the universe? Probably not but one can always hope.

Good romance. The last story was narrated by Mackenzie Cartwright…nothing against her as a narrator but she’s narrated a lot of of the kindred romance books (not a fan) and it reminds me of those so I could barely listen to the last story. Also thought Sam forgave way too fast.

Loved it!
So thought I had it all figured and then there was a twist each time. I was so enthralled by it all.

really enjoyed Cyborgs On Mars. An old fashioned spaghetti western space frontier feel.

Fun read
All three books were entertaining. Really enjoyed that the cyborg soldiers were vulnerable when it came to their mates and were loving and gentle with them. But with the bad guys there was no remorse. Fun read!!

Cyborgs on Mars #1, #2 & #3
The first book was too short… I think that was its main problem. Everything in it happened too fast. It was like the author tried to cram a full-length book into a novella.
The second book was better, but I still wanted it to slow down. Big chunks of time kept getting skipped and it was frustrating to keep playing catch-up.
The third book was definitely my favorite and quite honestly left me wanting more… Though not enough to pay for it as the rest of the books in this series are not in the Audible Plus Catalog. Also, parts of the audio in this book were messed up severely, repeating things over and over again or skipping things to the point that the section with the worst audio issues left me unable to understand what was going on during it.

I really enjoyed these three stories. Depending upon which source you use, they are either Stories 1 - 3 or 0.5 - 2. It includes (0.5) High Plains Cyborg, (1) The Good, the Bad, and the Cyborg, and (2) A Fist Full of Cyborg.
The stories have interesting characters that I could relate to. The stories were formulaic, but there was enough depth in the back stories, characters, and the environment. I plan on reading more of them.
I listened to the audiobook.
