If I did #InSixWords in my reviews, this book would get a "Can't get enough of these cyborgs!" I seriously love how they think and how they respond to things just a *little* bit differently than a human would. Watching Solus try to deal with this sudden influx of emotion when he considered himself so logical and emotionless was FUN. Heck, all these cyborgs are fun. Even grumpy Aramus and his constant bitching about... everything.

However, it isn't all fun and games. The abuse Fiona was subjected...more

They should be read in order because must of the explanation and world building are given in the first book.

Near the end of the first book about Joe and Chloe, the shocking information is revealed that there are several cyborg females that were made and kept top secret. Joe and the rest of the guys- Solus, Seth, Aramus, and Einstein are determined to find them even while procuring the resources they need for their world and gathering intel about the human military so they can live in freedom.

In the beginning, the story focuses mostly on F814 a female mining droid, or so she is led to think. F814 tries to hide her sentient mind from the mine foreman, but when the order is given to terminate her, she makes a bid for her freedom and wins.

F814 is left alone for months with infrequent attempts from the humans to take back their mining operation. This all changes when a party of men arrive who are super-human in their abilities and able to best her. F814 is nervous around them and refuses to accompany them even though they claim she is one of their kind. The leader, Solus, tries to reason with her, but that all goes out the window when a military craft arrives and Solus kidnaps her for her own good.

Solus has always prided himself in his logic and desire to serve his fellow cyborgs. He sneers at the lovestruck Joe while secretly envying him. Joe tells him that he'll feel differently when it is his turn to which he denies any chance of that happening with vehemence. It is not until he is confronted by a second cyborg female who is in denial of what she is and how she feels that he gets served up a huge dose of 'I told you so'.

Solus and F814, or Fiona, spend the last half of the story coming to terms with their feelings. It takes a fatal situation for them both to be willing to take courage in hand and speak of their feelings. Unfortunately, they might have put it off too long.

I enjoyed this story as much as the first one. There was that blend of humor, passion and frustration that worked in the first one. There is also the mystery of the female cyborg project cover up still going on as well as the danger from the human military with their better technology.
And now that it has happened a second time, I should expect the big revealing zinger at the end of the story that sets up the next one. I'm left wondering which cyborg male will find his female next. I really like them all, but I am totally curious about who's next- Aramus, the most angry and hating cyborg or maybe the flirtatious, but sweet Seth or maybe the brilliant, but quieter Einstein?

Recommended for those who love steamy Sci-Fi romances that are light on the Sci-fi.

F814 is a great continuation to a great sci fi series. I love the characters and the lives they have lived and are striving to continue. Joe (hero C791) has sent his cyborg brothers on a mission to find some much needed resources for survival. The added benefit to the assignment is that they have stumbled upon one of Chloe’s cyborg sisters.

I love the characters and the lives they have lived and are striving to continue. Joe (hero C791) has sent his cyborg brothers on a mission to find some much needed resources for survival. The added benefit to the assignment is that they have stumbled upon one of Chloe’s cyborg sisters. The problem is that the guys must convince her that she is indeed a cyborg and not a defective worker droid, and that to survive she needs to come with them.

F814 (Fiona) knows that she is defective. She has discovered that she no longer has to take the commands of the humans who abuse her. This allows for her to survive the humans attempted termination of her. She discovers that survival alone is completely uncharted territory and does not know exactly what to do, other than protect what she has made a home from humans, soldiers, and pirates.

Solus immediately recognizes Fiona for what she is, a cyborg female. Convincing her of this on her terms is very amusing. She has been harmed by others too often for her to trust, yet that is exactly what he is asking of her. Solus has a strong dislike for all things human. He sees emotions as a human weakness. When he begins having feelings and emotions this book really grabs your attention. How can one love and have a happily ever after without emotions?

Solus and Fiona make a great couple to read. They are both experiencing emotions that they never thought they would have. The new sentiments make their reactions to each other difficult to express at times. While they both know exactly what they want and what they want from each other they have a difficult time getting the point across clearly.

Seth and Aramus bring the humor that Eve’s books are known for to the table. As this series continues readers learn a little more about each of the cyborgs that have small roles, who will hopefully get their own books soon. I like Seth. He is the most human of the group and he gets himself in the craziest situations because of it. I also can’t wait to read the female that is going to knock Aramus into another world. He is so stringent!

This is a great read that I recommend to paranormal romance fans who may want to venture into the future, a future where scientific advancements and experimentation on humans have given the world cyborgs.

I really liked this continuation of the series, although as with most of her writings, it is thinly sketched. Again, I wish EL would write longer, more deeply layered novels because she can construct such enjoyable characters and lanscapes, a reader wants to immerse themselves in fully. The Langlais world of Cyborgs was fascinating but as with the first story,over too soon.

She thought she was a robot, defective and unique among her kind, until he taught her how to live again.

Let me gush! I love how Ms. Eve Langlais starts this book. F814 (aka Fiona) is not a droid, although they made her believe it. She was a woman and she remembers her former life only in her dreams. She is disturbed with feelings that start to fill her head, she doesn't even know what they are and fears she might be reprogrammed if discovered.

In my dreams, I have a name. A home. A family and friends.
I can even see their faces and hear their voices....more

BBL Reviews by Sara
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This story is about Fiona or F814 and Solus. I was intrigued by the story having never read any robot type books before. It was interesting to see how a relationship could present itself when it involves robots, or cyborgs as they call themselves. This is the second installment in Eve Langlais's "Cyborg's: More than Machine" series. You get a bit of a background to the harshness Solus encountered, and how Fiona became F814. Seth shows his more human side and...more

So here I am, and I’m so happy I get to share my second experience with Eve’s cyborgs with you! Seriously, I’m really such a shifter fan, but these ‘borgs might easily make me switch teams. If you haven’t read a cyborg book yet, I highly suggest you start with Eve’s. Her ‘borgs are fantastic. You have Joe, from C791, who is kind of like the leader of the group. An Alpha, if you will, although he certainly isn’t alone in that distinction. You can read about Joe in my review of C791 HERE. Then in this book you have Solus, who is… well, he’s complex… an stubborn. And protective. And caring. And wonderful and sexy all at once. He’s the type of man you want to slap silly because of his pigheadedness and then kiss each booboo because you know he’s a man unlike any other.

See, Solus hates humans. Any why shouldn’t he? They’ve done so many very horrible things to him. And not only to him, but all of the cyborgs. He doesn’t trust them, and he wants nothing to do with them. That’s why when he came into his own realization that he was more than just a programmable machine he picked the name Solus, because its nothing like that of the humans. But this story isn’t just about Solus, it’s about F814.

We learned in book one that Chloe was not the only female turned into a cyborg. There were more. F814 is one of those, and her story is an amazing one. First, her name is actually Fiona, but it takes her a moment to realize that. Fiona has been misused and tortured in the very worst of ways. And at first she is controlled by her programming, overridden by it , in fact. But there is a loophole that allows her to lie. And so she does. But that is like trying to plug a hole in the dam with a piece of bubblegum, and its not long before everything busts loose. Her asshole of a supervisor has a surprise coming to him, and it certainly made me happy for it!

What I find very interesting is that in C791, Chloe thought she was human and had to realize she is a cyborg. In F814, Fiona feels she is all android (which is different than a cyborg) and has to realize she has a human side. Two very different sides of the coin. I think the way Eve is flipping these stories around is just fascinating, and I can’t wait to see how the next book, B785, is handled.

This book is full of action, and a lot of realization about who these people are as cyborgs. In a way, they are all constantly learning and being reborn. I mean we have Seth, who is like a ‘borg with swag. He is manipulative in the best of ways, and has a heart the size of Mars. But you also have Aramus who is cranky and grumpy, but will do anything for his friends that are now his family. Every one of these cyborgs has a personality and a history that is often traumatic.

And if you want some steamy cyborg heat, you have nothing to fear! Eve definitely delivers multiple times on that, and every one of the instances are terrific. These cyborgs are more passionate than many humans, that’s for sure. Couple that with an indefinite supply of energy and you are in for a good time!

This series really has it all. So if you like some sci-fi mixed with erotic romance and a bunch of the miscommunication that we all love to see with our leading ladies and gents, I think this is a great series to get into. (less)

I loved this follow on from C791! It was nice to see Solus succumb to the same emotions that Joe did! I loved Fiona and she was a perfect match for Solus! I worried that he'd refuse to accept his new emotions and her as he really didn't like the feelings he was developing and tried to deny them, as did Fiona as whereas Chloe had believed herself to be human and couldn't easily accept that she was part machine, with Fiona it was the opposite, she believed she was a droid and couldn't easily accpe...more

F814's past is extremely well-written. The 5-star torture scenes are eerily reminiscent of Captain Jean Luc Picard's "There are four lights!" (YouTube), though Langlais's scenes are infinitely more horrific.

I'm pleased to say Solus is kind and and considerate of F814's past and her fears. He never crossed the line and F814's behaviour and decisions were understandable and felt fairly realistic. She's unknowingly tough. Her ignorance regarding her past, her identity and her extreme fear of things...more

This book just blew me away. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect after C791's brilliant plot and characters, but it was most definitely better than the first one! Which is saying a lot as I loved the first one, though Chloe did get a little annoying towards the end.

Where to start! The characters were brilliant and there wasn't a dull moment - between Seth's outrageous comments, to Solus' jealousy, to Aramus' grumpy self nothing was too over the top or too much. The plot was great, though there...more

This was a great second book to this series. I loved the fact that Fiona was strong willed and defiant. Solus so needed to fall hard for a female, and she was perfect for him. Now, Aramus is so gonna get his!?! :)

The characters are really starting to develop in this series. You get a great look at Solus' background and what he suffered. Seth steps out of his "human" status to show off. Just great character building.

Now, we just have to wait for the next one.

F814 is a great second instalment to the Cyborgs: More than Machines series. Like this first book I found F814 to be fresh and exciting. I guess my only complaint is that I wish for the stories to be longer and with more developed plot/characters, but I still really enjoyed it. So looking forward to Bonnie's story next.

Good opening chapter. I think the confrontation withe the villain could have been more developed but I am glad that Fiona was able to get her revenge; so often the heroine must be saved by the hero. I'm going to assume that Aramas (sp?) will be the hero of the next book.
