Parents often have expectations for us.
In my family, my Awesome Mom dearly wished that we’d all go to university/college. She went to university on a full scholarship (for Latin – grins) and she had a wonderful time. She had to quit when she contracted mono and lost her scholarship (she worries now for the scholarship students dealing with COVID) but she wanted that same joy for us.
All six of us did go to university. Not all of us graduated but we had the university experience. And we met my Awesome Mom’s expectations for us.
If we hadn’t gone to university/college, my Awesome Mom would have been disappointed but her love for us wouldn’t have decreased. We all knew that.
Not everyone’s parents or ‘makers’ would have been that understanding.
Grin, the hero of Grin And Bare Him (releasing in November), was manufactured for battle for example. The Humanoid Alliance expected him to fight and fight well.
Grin wasn’t interested in fighting. As a result, his skills were…suboptimal. The Humanoid Alliance’s response to that was harsh. He was slotted for decommissioning, would have been killed if he hadn’t escaped.
Freedom saved his lifespan but it didn’t delete expectations for him. Other beings assume he’s a skilled warrior because he’s a cyborg. Many of his cyborg brethren find his lack of interest in battle unusual.
Grin knows this. And he expects this…even from his newly-located female.

Grin And Bare Him
This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.
Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.
Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his sword and allocated his processors to less violent pursuits. He projects he’s left his war-waging planet rotations behind him forever.
Then he meets his beautiful, beguiling female, the one being he’s destined to protect, to claim, to love for all eternity, and his plans for peace are completely decimated.
Mohini needs a ship.
She has a dangerous mission to complete and the first step in that assignment is arranging transport to an enemy-controlled planet. The vessel she has set her sights on is guarded by the sexiest cyborg she’s ever seen.
To gain access to his ship, Mohini is prepared to kiss, caress, seduce the muscular male. The mission is her focus. The pleasure she experiences will merely be a bonus.
A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.
Grin And Bare Him is a Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a humanoid female undertaking a dangerous mission, a cyborg intent on keeping her alive, and an enemy with enough firepower to blow up an entire sector.
