This is absolutely one of my favorite series! Volume Two features two stories of doomed Detyens and their fated mates! Titles included are: Cyborg and Krayter. Below is a review of my favorite Detyen story because I fell in love with Max long ago! Both of these stories are amazing, though. Don’t miss this one! *** Reviewing “CYBORG” *** Max, a cyborg, was sitting on Nina Station, orbiting in space, enjoying the beauty around him. He glitched with a data dump, shook his head, and his vision cleared again. This was the third glitch in the past three weeks. He went back to his thoughts. His assistant entered and told him Captain Morvellan wanted to talk to him. As he listened to the captain’s complaint, a crew member ran in to report a cyborg had gone berserk and needed to be stopped. Max and the crew member were finally able to bring it down, but it was a close call. Inrit, a Detyen female, was approaching the age where she must have a mate to bond with or she would die. She had already given up on finding her mate, her “denya”. A former pirate, she would not go back to that life. So she was moving on until she turned 30 when she would die. She was assigned to the engineering section of Captain Morvellan’s ship, and for the moment, she had a room all to herself. As Max started on his paperwork at the station, he was called to a confidential video conference with Commander Nina. She had seen his malfunction reports and had to fire him and evict him from the station. Since Captain Morvellan had lost his cyborg when it went berserk, Max was hired and was put into the cyborg’s previous quarters – the same quarters that Inrit occupied! And when they each saw the other, sparks flew! The denya bond was undeniable. Would Max, who already knew he didn’t have very long to live, convince her to let him make sure that at least she survived? Would Inrit accept the cyborg as her bonded mate so that she could survive? Or was there more of a future ahead than either could imagine? This is part of the “Mated to the Alien” series, and I loved it! The more you continue reading, the more it pulls you in and holds your attention. The character development was done very well, allowing the reader to get to know each one, both the good and the bad parts, and to know what to expect from them in the trials that are coming. Inrit, although a former pirate, was very honorable and kind. Max was just perfection – defective parts, perhaps, but he was a wonderful man and easy to love. I definitely recommend this book! The story line was good and the fast pace kept the reader fully engaged.

The mix of alien races, combined with the nature of humans, makes these books superb. The writing is excellent at drawing the reader into another universe. Well detailed and emotive, these books have wonderfully thought out storylines that make it difficult to put them down. Exactly as described in the blurb, these books will satisfy all science fiction romantics who like the concept of the blurb.
