Synopsis (Goodreads):
A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.

Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts every call of adventure he encounters.

When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.

That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.

Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.

But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with the powerful ruler her planet requires.

If they survive their current mission.

Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish to see another sunrise.
Thoughts on Testing Truth: Of all the cyborgs, Truth is...err, the joker? He likes keeping things interesting and he'll stir up trouble (in the form of hijinks and mayhem) just to keep from getting bored. He's also probably the most laid-back of the exploration crew. He likes to laugh and he just flat out enjoys life.

Nancy is not as fun-loving. In fact, she's sort of trapped by the expectations of who she needs to be and what she needs to do. She doesn't expect to find happiness or romance and she fully believes her time with Truth will be short lived.

Boy, is she wrong! Because when a cyborg finds his special someone (the one compatible with him out of ALL the beings in the universe), he doesn't let go. Which means Nancy now has a cyborg bodyguard and lifemate and shadow and there's no way he's just going to walk away once their mission is complete.

I like these cyborgs. I like the grumpy ones and the serious ones and the fun-loving ones. They're all down for a little blood and mayhem and they're just FUN in their utter delight at causing chaos to those who want to hurt them. *thumbs up*
