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.

***

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 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.

***

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 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.

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 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.

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 September 28, 2023

In Dark Thoughts, the first story in the Refuge/Dark Thoughts series, the hero, Kralj, is dark and ominous and he’s also scarred. He feels like he looks like the monster he is.

Orol, the hero of Dark Flight, in contrast, looks like an angel. He’s beautiful. He has wings. Beings are awed by how gorgeous he is.

But if Kralj is a monster, Orol is a monster also. He was created to kill and he enjoys it.

Which is fortunate for Rhea, the heroine of Dark Flight. She needs a skilled warrior.

In multiple ways. (grins)

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 – Baring Grudge

By Cynthia Sax on August 17, 2023

Baring Grudge is both an enemies-to-lovers cyborg romance AND a found family cyborg romance.

Taelyn, the human heroine, talks tough. If you listen to her words, it appears as though she doesn’t care about anyone. But she has surrounded herself with found family. She would trade her lifespan for theirs.

Grudge, the cyborg hero, is as passionately protective of his brethren. He values found family also.

And when the two of them meet, along with their respective found families, it is…explosive. (grins)

Throwback Thursday – Under Strain

By Cynthia Sax on August 10, 2023

One of the absolutely awesome things about reading and writing cyborg romance and alien romance is visiting fascinating new-to-us planets.

Under Strain is set on one of the coolest planets in the universe. It is a habitat for dinosaurs!

Imagine a planet where dinosaurs didn’t go extinct. Then imagine almost-unkillable cyborgs on that planet. (grins) You KNOW they’ll have some fun!

Throwback Thursday – Containing Malice

By Cynthia Sax on August 3, 2023

Malice, the hero of Containing Malice, has been imprisoned in an underground laboratory and has unable to hear the transmissions from his cyborg brethren. He doesn’t realize they are all now free.

For him, time has stopped. The mass cyborg rebellion hasn’t happened.

This is, of course, a nod to the POWs here on Earth who were released long after their wars had ended. The rest of the world had returned to ‘normal’ life. But for them, their wars had continued.

This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.

Throwback Thursday – Seeking Vector

By Cynthia Sax on May 11, 2023

I loved Seeking Vector so much I crafted an entire sub-series around his crew (the Cyborg Space Exploration series). (grins)

Vector, the cyborg captain, has a secret no one, including his crew, knows.

Kasia, a female human hacker, is VERY good at uncovering secrets.

They are destined to clash and wowsers, does that collision set off sparks!

Throwback Thursday – Dark Flight

By Cynthia Sax on February 23, 2023

I receive MANY requests for a follow up story to Dark Flight. These requests all mention three characters who haven’t yet received their own stories. (grins) If you’ve read Dark Flight and the rest of the series, you know the characters I’m referring to.

I DO plan to write their stories. I think I’ll write the Next Gen Cyborgs first and then another Modified Humanoid/Refuge-set set of stories.

Anyhoo… Orol, the hero of Dark Flight, is a winged hero. He looks like an angel. But he certainly doesn’t act like one. (laughs)

Which is great because Rhea, the heroine, needs a warrior who can walk on the dark side of life.

Orol is certainly that type of being!

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.
