Synopsis (Goodreads):
The game of love can change in a heartbeat when fate deals you a wild card.

Technician Lieksa Kiv saw firsthand what the corporations did to their cyborg soldiers during the Resource Wars. Her job: repair their damaged cybernetic components and send them back into battle. When a stolen kiss reveals the truth about her charges, Lieksa sacrifices everything to protect the cyborgs’ secret, including a future with the men she’s fallen for.

Mack Darian and Dash Scudo aren’t soldiers anymore. Inspired by the kindness of the woman who saved their lives and touched their hearts, they are defenders, instead. As Corporate Security, they’re dedicated to protecting the citizens of The Drift from all threats, including each other.

When these three lives reconnect, the flames of passion burn white hot. But before they can hope for a future together, they must contend with old secrets and present-day challenges threatening to tear their world apart.
Thoughts on Wild Card: Reading this series slightly out of order, but it works, so do with that what you will.

First off, I do love grumbly, gruff cyborgs. They're just so much snarly fun. Frankly, these three have history and Mack and Dash's initial meeting with Lieksa didn't happen under the best of circumstances, which sort of leads to the snarling part later. But they made an impact on one another. A long, hard-hitting impact.

But time and a nasty war pulled them apart. Well, those things plus the whole "cyborgs are just machines and you don't fraternize with machines" thing. Which, as we've come to find out, is patently untrue. Cyborgs are a whole lot more than just machines. Mack and Dash mourned Lieksa when they thought she'd been killed before they really got to know her. Yep, they're all emotional and grumbly and stuff.

Anywho. These three come back to together and they have to navigate a new-ish relationship and their brief past along with some bad folks who want to do bad things. As bad guys often do.

Sexy, with CYBORGS. I'm in.
