5.0 out of 5 stars
An Erotic Futuristic Romance Novel, March 3, 2006
This review is from: Abiogenesis (Paperback)
Abiogenesis:
From the back: Reuel is tall, dark and dangerous. His is the face that launched a million flyers. He is the first of his kind, the first cyborg to go rogue, the leader of all who'd come after him. The only rogue nobody has ever come close to catching. Fromt he moment Dalia first sets eyes on him, she knows she is lost. She can no more resist his dark allure that she can cease to breathe.
Dalia is also a cyborg. Manufactured from a different group than Reuel. The cyborgs start to humanize and their creators want them destroyed. Reuel's mission in life is to help save the cyborgs who want a new life for themselves without the control of their creators. He saves Dalia when she is trying to escape. Dalia awakens on a examining table to find a med tech sticking a lethal injection in her neck. He informs her that she is pregnant and must be destroyed. PREGNANT???? Cyborgs don't get pregnant or do they? You will be surprised to find out who the daddy is. Dalia is wisked away to the new safe planet were the rule on the planet is to mate with no less than two cyborgs and no more than four. The ratio of males to females is four to one. Not only will she have to deal with a baby she has to mate with her lover and her best friend Pierce.
This book contains the same concepts and characters as Cyborg. Another book which I have read and reviewed. I enjoyed both books. I disagree with the other reviewer that this book was a waste. I guess, sex, threesomes,and bondage are not her taste.
If you are reading books published by Ellora's Cave, New Concepts Publishing or Erotictales then you should already know what you are getting yourself into. I would pay $11.00 dollars all day and have.

Fascinating world., March 20, 2008
This review is from: Abiogenesis (Paperback)
I do love this series, see my reviews for Cyborg and Cyborg Nation for the back story.
This is actually the first story of this series (I read it backwards and still loved it!) -- the story of Reuel and Dalia. The Cyborgs are trying to create their own civilization and Dalia is now pregnant with the first Cyborg offspring. The Cyborgs were bred with no feelings, and the Hunters were cyborgs given artificial memories to make them believe they were human. When Dalia finds out she's really not human and has been killing her own kind, she's devastated. Then she's scared of what may be gestating within her. What if she can't learn maternal feelings? What kind of offspring is it? Nobody knows as it's never been done! How can she choose between Reuel, the father (DNA donor) of her offspring, and Pierce, her buddy and friend from her earlier life? And with the uneven male/female ratio of the Cyborg Nation, will she have to choose?
I really do love this series. The scenes of labor and delivery are hysterical and are alone worth the cost of the book!! And how Dalia contrives to share offspring duties and lovemaking duties is a treat of Solomonic proportions. Don't miss this fascinating series...you may even want to read them in order! I plan to go back in a couple of months and do so...

Abiogenesis, September 7, 2008
This review is from: Abiogenesis (Paperback)
Dalia VH570 is the top notch rogue cyborg hunter in her field. When she goes in for a routine examination, the medical tech tries to kill her. She learns that her employer, the company, has placed a hit on her. The question is: Why?
Reuel CO469, leader of the Cyborg Liberation, renounces all ties to the company and the humans that want to enslave and destroy his kind. His dream is to establish his own world, and to build his own nation. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make this happen.
Before reading Abiogenesis, I had no idea what this word meant. The title/definition is the plot's driving point. Dalia is resilient and intelligent, which makes her an excellent match for Reuel. The action scenes reminded me of Resident Evil, Kill Bill and Lara Croft combined. Dalia is still rather innocent despite the fact she has been trained to be a killer. Reuel is dangerous, sexy and tender. You understand what drives him without truly ever knowing what he thinks.
There are wonderful twists and unexpected surprises that I'd much rather not give away. The overall premise is about what it means to be human. Abiogenesis is an action packed read with hot love scenes and interesting, well-developed characters. Ms. O'Connor does an amazing job threading a subplot involving the company as the shadowy presence that lurks in the wings. I strongly suggest reading this book and the continuing series if you enjoy fiery, accomplished heroines and driven, masculine love interests.
