This novel is written mainly in British English, with Americanism’s and slang from both.
Mackensie Navarelli knew all about life. She'd had it thrown at her more than once. A child prodigy orphaned, who had been pushed and pulled all her life. Love. Who needed it? They used it to get what they wanted. And men were worse. No sex without love, that was her rule. And still it had fucked her every single time and not in a good way. WTF! It all led to pain and disaster. Trusting someone only ended up one way in her experience. With her, In the shit. The last one cost her her dream job and her savings. Well no more. She'd had it. No more being led down a path. No more miss nice. She was good at her job, dam good. No more being miss nice. She'd had it.
The bastard! The last of a long list of broken trusts. If she stayed she'd kill him. Just thinking about it made her want to break every oath she'd ever taken.
She was 28 and still as naive as ever. Would she never learn? She needed to get out of here. A fresh start to a new out post was just what the doctor ordered. They needed a specialist urgently. She could do celibacy, It couldn't be any worse. Could it? Frying pan or fire? No. She would be the master of her life ....
Dark. His chosen name for good reason. His unique Cyborg abilities allowed him to go unseen. Unheard. Deadly. He had accomplished the worst that had been asked of him without question. He'd been a life taker and a heart breaker. Females liked his size in every aspect. He'd enjoyed servicing them but felt nothing for them. No connection. No need. He was a soldier. He followed orders.
From his first kill 14 years into his creation, to the last, 57 years later. His Cyborg cybernetics preventing him from ageing beyond optimal performance, 34 years.
He was just as strong, just as deadly as the first day he breathed on his own. Now, he was free. Free to choose. Free to live. He and his brothers searched for others of their kind. Lost and broken soldiers throughout the Universe. A chance encounter for their leader led them in a direction they thought impossible. It gave them hope for a future they'd never expected. A connection to the world not have thought possible. Mates. Dark knew he would never find one. He did not understand females. Did not need them. He could pleasure them, give then what they needed and leave. He understood duty.
A raid by Pirates in their part of the Universe on a Space Station outpost of civilians, while helping the boss's new mate, had ended with the Cyborg Empire declaring itself. Bringing the power of the Cyborg Nation to their aid and the notice of the Multi-World coalition and Earth Corp.
It had been bloody and deadly. The Pirates severely out numbered and over powered. They saved what was left of the people on the Space Station and brought it into their domain. Under their protection. The people manning it decimated and those females that survived, were traumatised and damaged from days in their control
It would take years to re-build and heal, the people would need help. The Empire would make sure they got it and kill anyone who got in their way.
Mackensie, Mac to her friends, opened the door of her cabin looking for the liaison she'd expected. A mass of tall dark and deadly stood in her way. She looked up and kept going. Her body heated, her mouth dry. "Holy shit your big.

Life at a space station with cyborgs!
The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💙🖤💚💖
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📘
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌍🌎
Character development: 😚😔🤓😋🥰
The heroine: Mackensie - she was a former child prodigy with a photographic memory. She has three doctorates in the fields of medicine, forensics and psychology and spent time living with monks to learn alternative medicine. However, she had bad luck with men and when her most recent boyfriend betrayed her, robbed her and cheated on her, she decided to change her life. She got a job working for the Cyborg Empire.
The Hero: Dark - He, like other cyborgs was created for war and death, meant to be used like a puppet on a string, dancing to the beat of someone else’s drum. He was happy to be free now and he yearned to really live. To have a life of his own where he could make his own decisions, fall in love, have a mate and more.
The Story: Mac is on the spaceship which is cruising toward the space station where she is going to work. The cruise will take four months and she is excited to start a new life where she is needed and wanted. Though she has sworn off all men. The space station where she is going was attacked by Pirates and many of the people there were brutally murdered. The pirates outnumbered the humans on the station and wanted the goods and the women. They raped and tortured many of the women and the men couldn’t help their women. After the Cyborg’s defeated the pirates, they took the station into the Cyborg Empire territory and now protect it. They want Mac to help with the mental and physical health of the human population of the station.
Mac meets Dark the first day on the ship and their chemistry is explosive from the start. He immediately recognizes her as his mate and she gives in to his advances, though something goes wrong, and she gets mad at him. That kind of sets the tone for their relationship even after they arrive at the space station. I liked that they gave in to their passion, but still have a bumpy road. I also really liked Mac’s storyline. I loved that she was so intelligent and strong and came to help people.
Also, I said this in my review of the first book, but I will reiterate it now. There are a bunch of spelling and grammatical errors in this book, and it really needs to be proofread and edited. So many are the wrong spelling of a word, and a bunch are words that don’t even exist, like the word chocked instead of choked, or the word taring instead of tearing. I said in my last review that it didn’t really bother me, but in this one it did bother me. The story also ended rather abruptly. I wasn’t ready for that. Though the story up until that point was good.

Should have been a 5-star story
Again, the typos and misused words stopped this story from getting the ranking it truly deserved. The writing mistakes didn't drive me as nuts as they did in the first book, but I think I just got used to them.
I really enjoyed the story, even though there were huge gaps in the time line, but at least we're not missing anything during that time. I thought we'd see more healing, and see more women recover, or maybe see something with the monks. Great head-fake near the end, not who I was expecting. -
Dark
Book 2 Dark meets thr new station doctor and realize she's his mate. But he's not ready for a mate in this push and pull relationship. Ends abruptly with a peak at book1 . I would rather had a finished ending. -
Very disappointing.
Still major spelling and editing problems.
Plot is choppy and uninspired.
Not continuing with this series -
3.5 Stars
Good Story, poor editing. Still worth reading book 3!
