Who would have thunk it with that cover and name

★★★★★

I loved everything about this - inside the cover. If I hadn’t read this author before now and loved her writing I wouldn’t have picked this up. I hate the cover and the name does not attract but wow the contents are a completely different story.

It’s hot, funny and sweet.

“These aren’t the Droids you’re looking for…”-Star Wars
Jedi mind tricks aside...they are the most endearing Droids you will meet!

I have deep affection in my heart for this sweet little gem of a story.

Nötchka Uumian is an adventurous alien who has bucked the traditional female roles of her people (who normally mate, nest, and remain on their home planet) by making her living traveling as a solo-space scavenger, engineer, and pilot. She has purple skin, pink hair, is small in stature, but ...more

I'll admit, I had my doubts walking into this one, but the author is Kathryn Moon, so I figured it was worth a shot.

This is a fun book. A wild ride and just... fun. Did I think I'd get emotionally attached to robots? No, yet here we are.

This was a great book and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. ...more

Reverse harem with AI/robot heroes 👀 They were created for pleasure but they end up growing genuine feelings for the heroine! I really enjoyed this sci-fi romance and as always I love Kathryn Moon’s unique world-building.

I will leave the 5 star rating even though this time around I feel maybe more a 4 star. I love reread this now through the lense of omegaverse. That's really what this was. An independant Omega who didn't want to be claimed and bonded in her heat. Gloss, due to being a newer model can adapt his "appendages" to mimic different species and he knotted Notchka like males of her species would have.

This was actually really, really good.

Notchka goes into heat on an alien woman and seeks out a bunch of defective 'pleasure bots' to service her through it, in exchange for repairing them. Yes, the guys are prostitutes. Yes, they go on servicing clients for a while after having had sex with Notchka - safety gang friends, this one isn't for you. Normally this wouldn't have been for me either. But it's shown constantly that the guys are only really attracted to Notchka, and everything about their ...more

Shelves: alien-kinks, cyborg-monday, interesting-dicks

My Majestic self does not give bad advice. So do the right thing and for the love of all that's holly and smutty in this world, IGNORE THE COVER. IGNORE THE BASIC BLURB. IGNORE THE INSTINCT TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS GONNA BE AN OVERDONE STEREOTYPE WITH WASHED OUT CHARACTERS.

I'm super close to even doing the unthinkable and telling you to overlook any possible extreme personal dislike for reverse harems, prostitutes, and non-organic beings, and just read this book because it's so well written and real that you won't even care and instead be unable to put it down.

When I got this book I wasn't expecting this, fellow earthlings. Reverse harems make me sigh with resignation because I know you have to be insanely good as a writer to be able to write a book where the plot is great, the writing style keeps you on your toes, the FL is not a dumb, stupid excuse of a girl and the guys manage to not be silly, pseudo heroes with a God complex and an unjustified holier than thou attitude.

Because let me tell you...

description

This was an excellent surprise. Kathryn Moon was already on my "YASSS, GURL" list ever since I found her "Sweet Omegaverse" series which was so insanely good, it gave me a shock - you gotta admit 95% of M/F omegaverse books aren't that close to a wow factor.

I mean, even with this book, I read the blurb, saw the covers, and laconically thought "hmm, alien porn" (I know, I know; I've passed the 3000-mark for alien kink books and I have no shame)

Which is... a decent amount.... right?

Judgemental people and critics:

description

*Me slowly looking at my copy of and how fucking much I loved insects for a few hours while I was reading it*

OK, fine. Fair enough. I accept the judgemental stuff.

description

Because then I started reading "Good Deeds" and the universe got brighter.

Cause, my man, this gem needs an epic cover to properly show how fucking awesome this book is. I have no idea why this isn't more popular because honestly, this is some solid shit.

And lemme tell you, I was hooked even before I started the first chapter:

  “Dad, please stop telling your friends my penname.
 It’s so awkward.”

That's when you know the good stuff is about to happen. If the author hits you with this before the prologue, your expectations are already optimistically soaring and by God! your ovaries must have their demands met or else!

The demands have been met. I repeat, the demands have been met.

Fuck yes, the demands have been met.

And then some. One word:

description

Which is how we meet Nötchka, a Dendärys and scavenger pilot who ends up on a pleasure planet for a transaction.

And when I say transaction, I mean of some parts.

*snicker*

Not the dangly parts, you perverts. At least

description

And I had to come to terms with a concept that has not affected me in the slightest before this.

That concept consists of androids.

Yes.

You heard me.

Androids.

Like this:

description

Only prettier and less homicidal.

Just to be clear, we're talking about droids and not cyborgs. There's no genetic material in these bad boys. And they mostly serve one purpose.

I'll let you guess which considering that Bandalier - or at least most of it and the part we're seeing in the book - is the highest pedestal as far as pleasure planets are concerned.

First of all, WHERE THE FUCK CAN I GET ONE OF THESE DROIDS?

Lady author, you made me fall in love with machines and I'm not talking here about my mostly funny love for Bob (view spoiler)

And not just that, now I want a harem of them.

I can't even regret my greed for a harem of droids after reading this book. I'm no Dendärys - a sort of very popular type of alien that goes through heat and mates for life... ish - but considering how all these droids look and act, even the cheapest option in the entire pleasure houses district would have been worth it, defective AIs or not.

Can we, like, have Cozy houses on our planet as well?

My obscene shopping budget would totally be rerouted to other, more interesting activities.

description

Which is what our Dendärys here did with her money: in exchange for fixing the glitchy or broken droids from the Cozy "Nuts and Bolts" - I shit you not, that is the name of the pleasure house -, they'd *ahem* "service" *cough* her during her heat cycle.

Honey, sign me IN.

*snicker*

Get it?

IN?

...

OK,

description

That is,

*snicker*

*clears throat and tries to fake seriousness*

So now we have evolving AIs, feelings where only programmed personalities should be, an insane villain, sex trafficking, and an alien chick who is independent, smart, well-grounded, capable, and not afraid to take to deep space and tech scavenging if it means that she gets to decide what happens with her life and not get mated by a bunch of males she probably wouldn't even like.

Oh, and the totally hot droids: Avan, Kino, Romeo, Kev & Gloss.

Or we can go with Cool and Stuffy, Cheery and BDSM-y, Sweet and Lovey, Cute and Dreamy & Pretty and Pouty. (view spoiler)

So instead of a conclusion, I wrote a short letter underlying how much of a book junkie I am and making pitiful threats and some whinny begging:

Dear Author,

You need to keep writing more epic stuff like this diamond and the omegaverse ones because we're a bunch of demanding bibliophiles and we need our high-quality drugs. And you seem to be our favorite supplier and we're planning to come back for more and buy in bulk. We are desperate and we are many. Insanity has taken hold inside some of our brains and we're reading bad alien porn to try and cope with the lack of great ones like this book. Send help in the form of more books.

With love,

Your Devoted Readers

Strong emotionally mature MC 💕

Confession: I had looked over this book several times in the Kindle store last year and passed it up, not totally sold on the premise of it. At the time, I did not take chances on books that were not on KU. But.

The concept of this book/world was super interesting - Nötchka is a solo scavenger and pilot, but she’s also part of the race of Dendärys which are basically super sexual creatures… and she’s an omega who never went into heat. Of course, at the start of the novel she landed on a pleasure planet of android sex workers and organic (“real”) clients/clientele, and she winds up going into heat.

She seeks out comfort at Nuts and Bolts, a run down house of androids with programming issues and begins re ...more

Let me start by saying that Kathryn Moon is an excellent writer! This was interesting erotica but it didn’t quite work for me. I enjoyed the story a lot but I’m not a big fan of a reverse harem with pleasure bots that are having sex with strangers. And one of the bots was really annoying. I enjoyed the mystery though.
