Synopsis (Goodreads):
A mission-focused cyborg battles a captivating and dramatic distraction.

North, the second-in-command of a cyborg crew, has two priorities—he has to explore and collect data on Balazoid Minor, a small planet in their sector, and he must bring his three-being team back to the ship alive and fully functional.

When he encounters his brash, bravado-wielding female, the one being genetically designed for him, he recognizes her for what she is—a distraction that might get him and his brethren killed. He WILL claim her, but only on his terms, when his mission is complete and everyone he is responsible for protecting is safe.

Myrina the Magnificent is the best warrior on her planet and possibly the universe. She has captured an unparalleled fourteen males for her all-female tribe. Once she has secured the fifteenth male, she will be a legend. Her name will live forever. She’ll earn the undying adoration of her sisters. Glory will be hers.

The male in her sights—and in her snare—is a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg with a skill for war and lips designed for kissing. One emotionally charged battle is all it takes for Myrina to realize she wants North for herself. She won’t share his caresses with anyone.

Their forbidden love might be destined to be, but it won’t be easy to maintain. Myrina will have to fight her sisters, an all-powerful male-eating plant, and her cyborg’s unbending will to make North hers and hers alone.
Thoughts on North Bound: Ha. North is one of the more uptight cyborgs and Myrina is...kind of flamboyant. Which might seem like an odd combo, but North did need a little fun in his life before he imploded from loneliness, so it ended up working out.

Not without a bump or two along the way, of course.

Because North is VERY dedicated to his position and his captain and he's determined to make sure every mission he takes part in runs at 100% optimality. Finding his special lady friend while on a planet that does a very good job of killing most men (not that cyborgs are like most men, mind you!) throws his careful plans into disarray. He can't abandon the mission (no way!) so he figures he'll stash Myrina away and deal with her after.

Except...Myrina's not down with that. And she's warrior enough to fight him on it and show him she can hold her own. Even if she couldn't, stifling her larger than life personality would damage her just as surely as being stabbed or shot.

So North has to recalibrate his plan. And possibly work on communicating better. Which he totally figured out. Totally.

Anywho. The cyborgs continue to find their mates, explore distant planets, and stride gleefully into battle. *thumbs up*
