Throwback Thursday – Baring Grudge

By Cynthia Sax on December 5, 2024

I LOVE blowing things up on page. (grins)

Planets. Buildings. Spaceships. Beings.

Big Badda Boom (<–Fifth Element reference).

Both the hero (Grudge) and heroine (Taelyn) of Baring Grudge love blowing things up also. Taelyn is attempting to blow up a space station with Grudge in it at the beginning of Baring Grudge.

This is TRUE enemies-to-lovers. It also has found family as there is a young stowaway on Taelyn’s ship. Baring Grudge is SO MUCH FUN. (smiles)


Baring Grudge

No one in the universe is more determined than a cyborg warrior tracking his female.

***

Grudge, a C Model cyborg, has been assigned a mission – safeguard a Humanoid Alliance space station for his kind. Honor was once all he had, and he is determined to fulfill his duty.

That resolve is tested when a tiny human female enters the space station and sets the prettiest little explosives the warrior has ever seen. She is Grudge’s genetic match, the one being manufactured for him. He wants to touch her, kiss her, claim her in all ways, but first he has to stop her from blasting him into the next galaxy.

Taelyn has a self-appointed mission—to destroy every battle robot the Humanoid Alliance has ever manufactured. A huge gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg warrior with mismatched arms won’t prevent her from achieving her goal. She’ll escape him, leaving destruction in her wake.

Before she departs, she’ll experience one toe-curling moment of hatred-edged passion with her handsome foe. She’ll show him how skilled with detonations she truly is. He will have his universe rocked.

Then she’ll disappear.

Her cyborg, however, has no intention of ever letting her go.

***

Baring Grudge is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a determined, damaged warrior, an equally resolute human female, and an explosive game of predator and prey played across galaxies.

Baring Grudge is the third of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Throwback Thursday – Under Strain

By Cynthia Sax on November 28, 2024

Under Strain features an extremely broken cyborg warrior, a human female who courageously wants to save him from their mutual enemies, and DINOSAURS.

(grins)

Yes, Under Strain is set on a dinosaur planet. And you KNOW the cyborgs want to ride these dinosaurs.

This story is SO much fun.

Under Strain

A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.

***

Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.

That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.

A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.

Strain wants to claim her. Forever.

Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.

When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.

She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.

***

Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.

Throwback Thursday – Containing Malice

By Cynthia Sax on November 21, 2024

If one of your favorite cyborg romances is Releasing Rage, I suspect you’ll love Containing Malice also.

Malice has been trapped in an underground Humanoid Alliance laboratory. He doesn’t realize his cyborg brethren are free. He doesn’t realize cyborgs have genetic matches. He doesn’t realize they can have kids.

And he definitely doesn’t believe in hope.

He’s angry and frustrated and in pain and a significant portion of that emotional turmoil is directed at the human female forced to experiment on him.

Containing Malice

This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.

***

Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.

His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.

He wants her. He also seeks retribution.

Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.

Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.

The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.

Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.

***

Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on August 22, 2024

One of my indications of love is… does that person trust me with their secrets?

Vector, the cyborg hero of Seeking Vector, has a HUGE secret. He has kept this secret from his crew, his leaders, everyone he knows.

Kasia, the human heroine, is a super skilled hacker and she has uncovered Vector’s secret.

Can he trust her with that secret?

He doesn’t think he can.

Seeking Vector

A cyborg with a secret… A female seeking the truth…

Vector, the C Model captain of the Freedom, is a cyborg many warriors wish to emulate. He fights fiercely, leads with honor, has earned the respect and loyalty of his crew. But no being, not even a cyborg, is perfect. Since arriving at the Homeland, Vector has been hiding a dark truth about his past. If his secret is exposed, he could lose everything – his position, his ship, and his life.

Kasia excels at uncovering secrets. Half a lifespan ago, her curiosity placed her on the Humanoid Alliance’s kill list. Now she has accessed information the cyborg council would prefer remain hidden. Their warriors are hunting her and won’t rest until she’s dead.

When Vector arrives on her battle station, all grim determination, gray skin, and bulging muscles, Kasia knows he has been sent to kill her. That doesn’t stop her from wanting the dominant cyborg. She senses the savage nature under the male’s controlled exterior, sees the mysteries in his brilliant blue eyes, craves the roughness of his touch. She will risk all she has to experience his embrace.

Kasia braved the cyborg council’s ire for a reason. If she doesn’t convince Vector to act on the information she uncovered, the enemy could destroy his home planet and render every cyborg in the universe immobile.

Can a doubting C Model warrior learn to trust and to love before it is too late?

Throwback Thursday – Dark Flight

By Cynthia Sax on May 30, 2024

Dark Flight is currently the only romance I have published featuring a winged hero. Orol, a modified humanoid, is a being genetically engineered for battle and he resembles an angel. But he certainly doesn’t act like one. (grins)

Having wings changes the way he fights, the way he lives and the way he breeds.

Rhea, the human heroine, REALLY appreciates that. (laughs)

Dark Flight

His mission. His challenge. His forever.

Orol, the Refuge’s second-in-command, has been given what he believes is a simple mission—escort two human females to the settlement. The winged warrior arrives at the meeting site to find one of the females missing and the other aiming a gun at his head. To rescue the first, he must capture the second. Once he has Rhea in his talons, however, he realizes he never wants to let her go.

Her enemy. Her captor. Her everything.

Rhea doesn’t trust anyone. She certainly doesn’t follow commands issued by a gorgeous flying male with glittering eyes, a beautiful face, and a seductive touch. Orol is dominant, edged with darkness, and determined to find her sister. Rhea will do anything to prevent that, even if it means playing sensual games of submission with her powerful enemy, seducing him into forgetting everything except her.

Dark Flight is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance set in a gritty, dark world.

Throwback Thursday – Grin And Bare Him

By Cynthia Sax on April 11, 2024

Grin, the cyborg hero in Grin And Bare Him, is a space architect, or rather an architect in space. He loves designing and fabricating buildings, especially homes for beings.

But in Grin And Bare Him, he has to embrace his warrior side. All cyborgs are trained warriors.

And his female needs a warrior. She has to recover something that is very special, very important to her kind.

Grin And Bare Him

This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.


Cyborgs are manufactured to fight.

Almost all of the half organic, half mechanical warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.

Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his weapons 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, claim, 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, and 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 Fake-Mate 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 who has no idea what they will soon unleash.

Throwback Thursday – Baring Grudge

By Cynthia Sax on March 14, 2024

Baring Grudge is the most explosive cyborg romance I’ve ever written. (grins)

Both the heroine and the hero and the heroine’s found family member (a teenage girl) LOVE making, setting and detonating explosives. They blow sh*t up both literally and figuratively.

And that is fun for everyone involved.


Baring Grudge

No one in the universe is more determined than a cyborg warrior tracking his female.

Throwback Thursday – Under Strain

By Cynthia Sax on March 7, 2024

Dinosaur planet.

(grins) Yes, Under Strain is set on a dinosaur planet. Those dinosaurs want to eat the heroine and not in a sexy way. They view her as dinner

The cyborgs, on the other hand, want to RIDE the dinosaurs. (laughs) Yeah, they are wild warriors. And they have some big fun in this story.

Under Strain

A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.

Throwback Thursday – Containing Malice

By Cynthia Sax on February 29, 2024

Containing Malice is, IMHO, the story most similar to Releasing Rage.

Malice is angry. He doesn’t have hope. He hates all humans, including the female medic forced to experiment on him. He also has a best friend he’d do anything for. And the two of them are desperate to escape the Humanoid Alliance.

It is truly an enemies-to-lovers romance. Malice plans to kill Illona. And Illona fears she’ll be forced to kill Malice.

Containing Malice

This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.

***

Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on December 14, 2023

All of heroes and heroines have secrets. They have things they don’t share with the universe.

Vector, the cyborg captain of the Freedom, has a HUGE secret. No one else knows a truth about him. He has concealed it from his crew and from the Cyborg Council.

Kasia loves uncovering secrets. And, as she is extremely attracted to Vector, she is focused on him. She pays attention to everything he says and does. And she KNOWS he’s hiding something.
