Synopsis (Goodreads):
A malfunctioning cyborg...
All cyborgs come with an expiration date, and from the glitches in his system, Max knows his time will soon be up. When he's forced to flee his position on Nina Station, he joins the crew of the spaceship, Kella, as their resident cyborg and head of security. Time is running short as Max searches for anything that will keep him from going berserk and endangering everyone around him.

A reformed pirate...
Inrit isn't looking for a mate even though she needs one to survive past thirty. After years of space piracy, she's ready for a clean break and a new life. And the Kella promises to give her that. What she doesn't count on is her smoking hot cyborg roommate with secrets of his own.

While Max and Inrit struggle to overcome their differences and save one another, a threat from Inrit's past draws ever closer, putting the entire crew at risk. And it will take a broken cyborg and an ex-criminal to save the day.

The denya bond will send them down a dangerous path where they will find redemption... or doom.
Thoughts on Cyborg: I know this series states you can read the books in any order and enough information is given about the denya bond and the plight of the Detyan people that you can follow along with that. BUT...there are an awful lot of names thrown around in the beginning of the book that made it a tiny bit difficult to follow. (Honestly, maybe that's just me. Sometimes I'm a little spacey.) That said, while you can follow along starting with this book, I do think it would have been slightly more satisfying to start with book 1.

Anyway. Let's talk about Max. He's a cyborg who's glitching. He doesn't have many (or any) friends to lean on and he's unceremoniously tossed off Nina Station when his glitches come to light. Fortunately for him, he ends up on the same ship as Inrit and they make smoldering eyes at one another while trying to do their respective jobs.

The good news is their relationship (such as it is) will save Inrit if they seal the deal. The bad news is Max's glitches are getting worse and that's pretty much a death sentence for cyborgs. The SUPER good news is Inrit is smart and resourceful, in more ways than one.

Dangerous times, a glitching cyborg, and an alien woman doomed to die if she doesn't find her mate by the age of 30. Enjoyable (because I like both aliens and cyborgs), I do wish I had started with book 1 to really appreciate everything that was going on.
