Touching Ice by Laurann Dohner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What can go wrong overseeing a bunch of android sex bots on an automated whorehouse in deep space? Great job, if Megan doesn’t die of boredom. Then she catches sight of the sexiest male she’s ever seen. On her grainy security monitor, she watches all his sexual exploits with the bots, and fantasizes. But that’s all she can do because he’s a cyborg. Then fate steps in.

There’s a crash and Megan must escape or die. The cyborgs are rescuing the sex bots – taking them onboard their ship. She knows cyborgs hate humans. They’ll kill her if she asks for help so she devises an insane plan – pretend to be the most realistic sex bot ever made.

His name is Ice, and Megan is now his personal sex bot. He will satisfy every sexual fantasy she’s ever had – and as many more as she can dream up. She just has to figure out how to keep her big, sexy cyborg from discovering that she is all woman.

The heroine: Megan – she was a computer programmer working on a pleasure space ship called Folian. Though she didn’t know she wouldn’t be allowed outside the employee quarters. She is bored to death and sick of Clara, the annoying AI with a southern accent. She fills her time watching a certain cyborg client who comes to be pleasured by the sex bots.

The Hero: Ice – he enjoys sex a lot and is sick of cyborg females because they control the men too much in his society and he likes his freedom. His hair and eye colors are rare for cyborgs so many of the cyborg female’s used him to get pregnant and he ended up fathering a ton of kids who are raised by their mothers. So now he goes to a pleasure spaceship and gets his needs met by bots.

The Story: when another ship crashes into the Folian and all life support is lost, Megan knows she is in trouble but is able to board the last ship before it leaves. Though it turns out to be a ship full of cyborgs. Megan knows cyborgs are ruthless and hate human so she decides to pose as a bot so that she isn’t killed. Ice takes ownership of Megan as his personal pleasure bot and she has to go along with anything he wants. It isn’t too much of a stretch since he is the same handsome cyborg she had been watching for months.

This series is super steamy and the intimate scenes are burning hot. There are plenty of them, and the cyborg love is so sexy. I liked the story in this one about Megan escaping with the bots and the fact that she is a programmer who once worked on another type of bot that have a backstory with a striking resemblance to that of the cyborgs.

This book was told in dual points of view via solo narration and was narrated by Mindy Kennedy. She has a great voice and I do like her narration. As this is my third book in the series, I have gotten quite used to her voice and enjoy her narration. Though she doesn’t do a range of voices for different characters, so there is that.
