Synopsis (Goodreads):
It’s Christmas in Carbon County, and not a creature is stirring, not even a cyborg…Thoughts on Big Bang: The ticking time bomb of the Cyborg matrix is up and I like the guy. I mean, sure, he does some questionable things at times (like creating a baby to try to bribe Lindy away from Delta, which was NOT cool, yet it somehow worked out in the end), but he's just a lost Cyborg looking for acceptance and when you frame it with those circumstances it makes him a little cuddly.
He was never meant to be awakened. In the matrix of genetically and cybernetically enhanced contract killers, he was the Omega -- brought out only the last resort, the final answer, the end times. But crash-landing on the planet Dirt made Cosmo just another cowboy, albeit one with a time bomb in his massive body forever set to 00:00:00:01.
Vic Ray thought she was so smart. As a reformed black-hat hacker, she cracked every code ever put in front of her. Except the one that explains people. But then she found out about aliens. Turns out, though, Cosmo Halley is worse than any people. At least she doesn’t have to be nice to a killer robot to get what she wants: Off this world.
But when an old enemy and a new one join forces to expose the CWBOIs on Earth, Cosmo and Vic will have to figure out what it means to love before everything they know is lost forever. Can the Spirit of Christmas -- peace, goodwill, and spiked hot cocoa -- teach a cyborg and a misanthrope to believe in a future together?
Well, not cuddly, exactly. But kind of? Like, the guy just wants to befriend the nearly feral barn cats and keep his family together. He just doesn't quite have the social skills to do it with style. So he sort of does what comes to mind and sometimes it's the wrong thing, but at least he's trying.
That said, Vic is almost as much of a social misfit as he is. Maybe not in as visible a way (after all, she can pass for human), but between her hyper focus when she hacks and her pretty awful childhood, she's caught in some of the same loops Cosmo is in. Just, you know, the more human version of it.
Anywho. A lost brother, a not so great confrontation, a hacker who sees things a little differently, and some really out of this world sexy times. Because if you can't accidentally seduce your special lady friend with nanites, who can accidentally seduce?
