Rage by Jessie Rose Case

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

**** Rage, the leader of his people, a Cyborg. Created for war and death. They fought to survive, to be free. Hunted as a resource, they’d been scattered across the universe. They wanted to live. To love. To be more.

The war had been over for most of them, for nearly 40 years. Others, were lost in outer world skirmishes. They were desperate to find them before it was too late. Before they were lost forever.

The rest, were damaged, taken apart, used as fodder or worse. They had to find them….

Their job vitally important. Lives depended on them. They were free but others were still chained to masters, abused, used and tormented. Find the others, had been his mission. 

Hunt down those that abused them. Remind them not to fuck with Cyborgs. It was ruthless work he was made for. Work, he took pleasure in doing. 

His crew was his family, and more were out there alone. They would find them. Give them back their lives and kill anyone who got in their way.

Kim took no shit from anyone. She loved her job. Engineer supremo and a gift for machinery and how it ticks. Thanks to her mother. 

She didn’t always understand it, but she knew instinctively what to do to get that bit more out of it, or simply make it work. She was dam good and it paid off. She had her plans. Keep her nose clean. Head down. Stay out of trouble. No men getting in her way. Design and sell on. Make enough to get the hell out of Dodge. 

Well, she did, until they came under fire for cargo they shouldn’t have been hauling. The Universe was a dangerous place and it had just come calling…. and that hot and sexy Cyborg making her body pulse with need, wasn’t just bad, he was dangerous, and she needed to stay the hell out of his way!

Rage wanted that dam ship at any price. And whoever was responsible for tripling their speed and getting away. He could use that. He wanted the engineer and his cargo. 

The chase was on. There would be a reckoning. Rage would have what’s his. His body on fire for that pixie beauty. She sparked all his circuits. Made his blood run hot with fire and ignite his passions ……. He would have her too..

Rage

The heroine: Kim – she is the mechanic of a two-person cargo ship in space. She is very good at her job; in fact, she has a gift for making things work. An ability that tells her what to do in certain situations, or how to make an engine function better than it should. She even designs her own engines, and her latest design should be the fastest out there, if she ever gets enough credits to build it.

The Hero: Rage – he is a cyborg and the captain of his spaceship and leader of his people. 40 years ago, there was a war for cyborg independence. They were sentient beings and believed they should be free. He and his crew are tracking down cyborgs that got lost after the war ended. They ended up being scrapped for parts, illegally sold or used as slave labor.

The Story: On a mission to track down a shipment, Rage and his crew try to disable and board a ship that may have cargo they are looking for, when all the sudden the ships engine’s turn on and it disappears. They know they had incapacitated the engines, so it shouldn’t have been possible, so they want to track down that ship and the engineer that got the ship working so quickly and so well.

The story was good, and I loved that Kim was this powerful heroine who was great at her job and here skills were in demand. However, I didn’t like the fact that Kim went from fiercely independent to all lovey dovey wife to Rage in a matter of minutes. Aside from that fact though, I liked the storyline about someone being after her for her skills and the intimate scenes were quite hot! Though there were a lot of steamy scenes in this book. There was plenty of action as well.

There were quite a few spelling and grammatical errors in this book, it certainly could stand to be edited and proofread a bit more, but those kinds of things don’t bother me too much. It is weird, since my bachelors degree was in English. But I read fast and can easily overlook the odd spelling or grammar issue.
