Synopsis (Goodreads):
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.

Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host and is slowly draining her energy.

Soon, she’ll die.

Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.

Her plans do NOT include a smoldering hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.

While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.

The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.

There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.

And she is in danger.

Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.

Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
Thoughts on Strive for Forever: We're back with the cyborgs and their genetic matches and Strive's lady is tangled up with something dangerous and kind of immortal. Which isn't terrible because the cyborgs are ridiculously long-lived already (provided they don't get themselves killed or otherwise fatally damaged during a mission) and Adam (the deity Euryale is hosting) is strong enough to keep anyone safe.

Well, wait. Adam's extreme energy is actually killing Euryale before Strive gets to her. It takes some wooing and a liberal application of Strive's nanocybotics (if you know what I mean) before Euryale has a future to look forward to. That said, she and Strive (and Adam) are stuck planetside while another escaped deity causes a little havoc in the outside world. You know, this sounds complicated. It's really not. There are powerful artifacts, powerful deities, and a cyborg who isn't about to let his one and only die if he has anything to say about it.

A little artistic creativity, some sweet talking, a deity who is not at all amused by how often Euryale and Strive need to get physical (go to your safe place, Adam! HAHAHA), and a little power flex by said deity (seriously, Adam's strikes fear into the hearts of the Humanoid Alliance) and BOOM another cyborg finds his happily every after with the lady of his dreams. GOOD STUFF!
