n this book, March travels to Xenia with the hopes of finding Jules, his long-lost lover. When he discovers that Jules is actually Julietta, the daughter of the Emperor who is about to marry another man, he tries to leave the planet but his plans don’t go as he wished.
This book was never supposed to be mind-blowing. It is a stereotypical romance, nothing out of the ordinary.
The plot was simple, there were some plot twists but nothing extraordinary.
The characters were also what you’d expect from a book like this, not that complex.
Nonetheless, I still had some fun.

his book tells the story of a girl who has to “marry” a man she doesn’t love – it’s a tale as old as time but, in this case, it’s set in the future.

When this book was randomly picked as the book club pick, me and my sister got nervous. We only put this book on the list for a joke, we never intended to actually have it on the Book Club. However, this wasn’t as bad as we expected.

Its writing is very simple and easy to read – I could’ve read it in one sitting.

Character wise, they were very simple and the cast itself was pretty small. There was some possible character development but it wasn’t much.

Story wise, it’s one that, in the end, will make your heart feel whole, if that makes any sense at all.

All in all, this was an okay book. It was simple but it was fun, the perfect example of “it’s trash that I’m trash for”.

Rating: 4 stars

Although I enjoyed the story it was very predictable.
Which was a slight let down.

Claimed by the Cyborg was written rather well. Good dialogue. Interesting plot.

I'm loving this Cyborg series. There is Sci-fi, romance, action and a good dose of humour which all mix into a wonderful story!

March has never really got over being dumped by Jules whilst they were students. She just vanished into the night..no call, no letter. He now has business of the sneaky kind on her home planet and he decides to try and look for her just to make sure that she is safe and well. But she does have the most common name on her planet! He is just to deliver a spacecraft as a bonding gift for the empress to be and then try and dig out some contacts to see if the AOP can get a base on the planet.

But when he realises that Jules is the aforementioned Empress-to-be he is shocked and thinks that she never really loved him in the first place, she knew that she had to return to her planet at some time for this bonding. Eventually he realises that all is not what it seems and there are major Machiavellian schemes going on behind the very pleasant, non emotional Xenian (Think Vulcan like) facade of the Emperor and his council.

There are weird bonding rituals, that March gets involved in and then further incidents occur that lead to poor March getting into a LOT of hot water! There are brilliantly comic moments during the talks between March and his fellow cyborgs. March is still an Alpha male but much different to the other Cyborgs we've seen so far. He is much more of a thinker and less of a "smash now ask questions later" type. Jules is so self sacrificing that she stands in her own way! If the Zenian Seer was any more vague she'd be as well not saying anything!

This is a quick, enjoyable read and fits nicely into a lunch hour for me. Looking forward to more.

I don't know what it is about a Cyborgs I find intriguing. Maybe it's the extra abilities they have and the soldier mentality. They are almost like a super hero. Either way, I enjoy a good Cyborg romance and March did not disappoint. He had to fight for his love and he never gave up searching for her. He is what I like to find in a main character. While I didn't love this book, I certainly enjoyed March and I will continue to read more from this author. ARC provided by NetGalley.

This is the first book I've read by this author and I really enjoyed it. The characters have a history, and when Jules leaves unexpectedly, March will do anything to find her. March searches for years trying to find Jules and has just about given up when he's asked to deliver a ship for a royal bonding on the planet Xenia. When he gets to Xenia he is shocked to learn that the royal bonding taking place is between his Jules/Julietta and Naimo. During the pre-bonding events Naimo is killed and March is blamed.

March was set up but there's nothing he can do after he just found his Jules. Luckily fate was on his side!

The book moves pretty steadily and was very enjoyable, I look forward to the next book in the series!!
