Donna does it again. I'm used to hating cybermen (courtesy of Dr. Who), but her cyborgs are yummy! This is the second book in the series, and Kingston has been converted back to civilian status and has opened an opulent restaurant. He had been part of the Cyber Husband program, and was able to recall 3 of his 4 "wives"; however, his 3 wife's file was not available to him. Not enjoying puzzles, I doubt the man ever listened to the word "no", he had been in the process of acquiring information about her when his 4th wife, Annalise contacted him at the restaurant, offering the carrot that his 3rd wife had been Seetha Harrington, her daughter. And Seetha disappeared shortly after she had returned King to the Cyber Husband program. It seems that she had fallen in love with him in the 7 years they had been together, had kept him from being updated and reprogrammed for the last 5 years, and when she finally ran out of options and money to keep him from the rebooting, she couldn't stomach the "robot" that was returned to her. When King had left, he was very human, upon his return, not so much.

Annalise hadn't heard from her daughter since she disappeared 2 years ago, shortly after King was returned, and she asked King to please see if he could locate her. Since this fit right into his plan, he took up the challenge and with the help of his fellow cyborgs, began to track her down. This is a great thriller/romance, and I finished it in one sitting. Had to make sure everyone survived!

It would help to read the 1st book, Peyton 313, to be introduced to the cyborgs and Dr. Kyra Winter, who is their savior, but this can be read as a stand-alone.

I'll definitely continue my journey into the cyborg world, and I think you would enjoy the trip too!
