Book Description
She’s devoted to her work. He’s not ready for love. When a blinding dust storm on a remote planet traps them together, will hostility turn to passion?
Astrogeologist Breeze O’Day won’t trade her perilous career for anything. Taking a research job on a faraway alien world to escape her abusive ex-husband, she can’t wait to bring her findings back home and announce a game-changing discovery. But when her ship is swept up in a catastrophic sandstorm, her gratitude at being plucked from certain death quickly sours when she realizes her savior is a rude, ill-mannered brute.
If Tack Grayson wanted company, he wouldn’t have moved to the middle of nowhere. Still suffering from PTSD after killing a shapeshifter disguised as his wife, the furloughed cyborg soldier’s instincts compel him to rescue the passenger of a crashed hovercraft. But as he forces himself to care for the injured and strong-willed woman, his gruff exterior crumbles as unexpected attractions ignite.
After Breeze recruits her host’s help in securing her valuable data, she struggles to admit that her initial unease has morphed into undeniable chemistry. But as Tack’s haunting past catches up to him, he fears giving into his feelings will only rope the gorgeous scientist into his own misery.
With trouble on the horizon, will this star-crossed pair forge a path to happiness?
Blown Away is the suspenseful first book in the Cyborg Force science fiction romance series. If you like steamy encounters, wounded warriors, and heartfelt connections, then you’ll adore Cara Bristol’s futuristic adventure.
My Review
Breeze is on the edge of a huge discovery and the samples she's collected of the sand may lead to trouble for her. So, when she's hurdled in the wrong direction during a bad sandstorm and ends up crashing near Tack's place, she's happy to be alive but wary of him at first because he's a bit grumpy.
Tack lives alone out in the middle of nowhere so he's surprised that a vessel has flown near enough to him to crash near where he lives. After pulling her out of the craft and getting her safely inside, he's not sure what to make of her. He wasn't expecting company and doesn't want any.
Tack had something bad happen to him and now he lives in solitude trying to get a grip on himself. Tack is a cyborg and works in an elite cyborg team that he wasn't sure he would be able to go back to work after getting PTSD. But Breeze makes him realize that life can go on and he might just have feelings for her.
When Breeze entrusts Tack with her discovery, he lets her know that the government might try to shut her up, permanently if she goes ahead with sharing her discovery. So, he volunteers to be her bodyguard as well as more since they realize that they have feelings for each other after spending days in close proximity because of the bad sandstorm preventing them from leaving his house.
But not only might they have problems with the government, but her abusive ex-husband proves to be a problem too.
Tack's dog, Bandit was also great. I love it when animals are part of the storyline.
This is the 1st book in the Cyborg Force series and I loved it. I'll definitely be reading the next book in this series. There's an ongoing storyline about a maybe new lifeform, but all my questions about this couple were answered by the end of this book. I'm looking forward to finding out more about the lifeform and what dangers all these people are going to be facing.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
