Synopsis (Goodreads):
Alien Mercenary: I do love fairy tales in space and the Sleeping Beauty vibe here rocked my socks off. Lizzie awakens on a strange new world with her sister and mom happily mated to aliens (which is already kind of a big shock). And the one alien she likes spending time around is the one her bro-in-law warns her away from (which, frankly, was pretty much a jerk move on his part). Things end up working out, but not before some danger and some sisterly solidarity.
Mate Abduction: An orphan raised by Amazonian aliens, Clarabelle wants some normalcy is her life (and potential boyfriend). What she got was a sexy alien man and a couple of meddling gods. Fun, a little crazy, and with some familiar purple aliens popping in to make me laugh.
KRASH: A broken-hearted Dakonian who DOES NOT want a mate or to stay on Earth meets a human woman determined to prove the extraterrestrial dating agency she just joined is a massive scam. Turns out it's not a scam and Cyan and Krash connect nicely. You know, except for that thing where he's not looking for a mate and she's only meeting him to expose a fraud. GOOD TIMES!
Chance of a Lifetime: Well, well, well. A cyborg who isn't the typical type of cyborg found in the Drift and the human security for the Nova Club. Chance isn't quick to trust (for reasons) and it almost lands her in hot water when things go sideways. The Drift cyborg family continues to expand and I'm digging that.
Ashland 297: Now that I'm thinking about it, this isn't a new to me series. I've read a previous story about these cyborgs and...man, they had it tough. Dia's held onto the hope she'll figure out what happened to her husband through the years and when she finally finds out the truth...well, it's nothing like she expected. (PS: Her boss-friend deserved everything that happened to him. And probably more.)
Betraying Ko'ran: Not my favorite of the anthology, mostly because I felt like Bethany's feelings about cyborgs (going from hating them for killing her husband to jumping into a relationship with one who looked like said dead husband) did a weird turnaround without much warning. Admittedly, I could have missed something, but from actively hating an entire group of beings to shacking up with one in the course of a few meetings didn't quite work for me. Still, growly cyborgs are always fun.
