Star-Crossed Tales #6
The Little Cyborg
Dust and daydreams... Celine Velmann’s never seen the sky. Her entire life, she’s lived in the Wastelands, where brutal dust storms that fill the sky are a way of life. She’s always dreamed of the stars that she’s only seen in pictures, but even her infallible robotic arm can’t craft the technology to get into orbit, so she’s stuck on the ground. A Pampered Prince... Ben’s never been good at anything but flying, but in the air, he’s the best there ever was. When the King — Ben’s father — orders all flights in the city grounded, he’s left stir-crazy and starved for action. Crazy enough to steal a ship and volunteer for a desperate, doomed, last-resort mission straight into the gaping maw of the Wasteland. Two Worlds Collide... When she sees a ship crash, Celine’s drawn toward it like a magnet — maybe this is the chance she’s always hoped for, the chance to escape her dusty life for something more. But when the hatch opens to reveal a half-dead but handsome human, she thinks twice. After all, her father’s warned her that humans are dangerous. That, if they could, they’d kill every last one of Celine’s kind. A day later Ben wakes up in a hospital bed, broken and bruised. The only thing he can remember about the Wasteland is a beautiful woman with vivid eyes, a soothing voice... and a mechanical arm. Everyone knows cyborgs are just a legend, something parents tell their kids about to keep them in line. But when a strange, familiar woman shows up in the City, Ben finds her very intriguing. Things go off the rails quickly when Ben’s city is exposed to the punishing dust and Celine realizes her family is in the cross-hairs of a vengeful alien. Can Ben and Celine overcome age-old prejudice to discover happiness together and save the planet, or will fear and suspicion get the best of them and doom them all?

Didnt realise it was in a series. I read it as a standalone
Free copy, honest review.
Was a little slow to being with but I kept with it and really became hard to put down. The storyline and plot are fresh and new. If I had to liken it to anything I'd say a mix between Star Wars and Beauty and the Beast. Written really well with great characters. My one complaint is that it isn't long enough. But the story ended nicely and everything is wrapped up nicely.
Will be looking into more of J.M Pages books in the future
Recommend to anyone seeking something different thats not a beaten down over told story. Romance readers and fantasy readers will enjoy.

An OK short read.
Take the plot of the Little Mermaid, and set it on Frank Herbert's Dune, and have it written by a romance novel author, and you get this. It is well written and interesting, but there is nothing new to the story. All the characters are one dimensional. It is also strange that Celine's mechanical ability is in her cybernetic arm and not in her head. It's not bad, just not very good.

I loved this book, however, I'm a bit upset since it's exactly the same story as book 1. Literally word for word. So in that aspect I was very disappointed that I had bought the same book twice thinking it was a different book. I still loved the story though...
