An often repeated bit of advice given to SciFi Romance writers is the average reader tends to prefer human heroines in their M/F stories. The average reader is cool with heroes being cyborgs or aliens but they prefer the heroine to be human.
That’s not why many of my cyborg romances feature human heroines. It SHOULD be why. (sheepish grin) But it isn’t.
The reason is…genetics.
Cyborgs are half human. It is logical that the majority of their matches would be found within that species. Humans are closest to them genetically.
If we adhere to the common ancestor theory (which I do), humanoids and humans share a common ancestor and are linked genetically. That is why they can have viable offspring.
So it makes sense to me that some matches would be humanoids, especially humanoids that physically resemble humans. Cyborg-humanoid alliances would happen less frequently than cyborg-human bonds as they are further apart genetically.
Non-humanoid matches are unlikely. And producing viable offspring from that match has an even lower probability of happening. That probability isn’t zero, however. It COULD happen. I merely haven’t witnessed it yet.

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.
