Synopsis (Goodreads):

Just as Andrea’s life was set to begin, everything was ripped away. Her last memories were of the year 2019, but upon waking, she discovers nearly 2,000 years have passed. Her kidnappers are long gone, her home, her life, her family… it’s all just gone.

Struggling to cope in a new century, she leans on the only person she feels a connection to--the man who rescued her. Only he isn’t really a man and he isn’t really a person either. He’s an android. And somehow, he seems just as drawn to her as she is to him.

Healing from her loss, Andrea finds solace in the last place she ever expected to—IN THE ARMS OF AN ANDROID.

Thoughts on In the Arms of an Android: I have a bit of a soft spot for androids (and cyborgs, but that's another story for another day), so getting to watch Valens and Andrea fall into a romantic relationship hit the spot.

But I'm going to back up for a second and say...DUDE. The situation that ended up putting Andrea in that pod was not cool. Not only was she ripped away from her life, she really didn't get a satisfying resolution when she found out what happened to the man who'd orchestrated her abduction. Quite frankly, that was probably the worst aspect of her waking up 2000 years in the future. To be alive and well and have no way of letting those she loved know and to know the man who'd done this to her had basically gotten away with it...*sour lemon face*

BUT...her abduction did lead to her finding romance with Valens, so there is a silver lining there. When she first wakes up in the future, her android is pretty much the only bright spot for her. He's her safe haven in the overwhelming situation and it seems like a no-brainer that they'd fall for one another.

Sure, sure, they have some issues to work around. Like Valens's android brothers who stayed on their homeworld and people not believing that an android could catch feelings for anyone, but THEY WORKED THEM AND CAME OUT STRONGER IN THE END.

Good stuff.
