Her Cyborg Rangers by Susan Hayes

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

She dreamed of escaping Earth one day—but she never imagined the price she’d pay to be free.

Jade was a cyber-jockey. Emphasis on the word was. Now, she isn’t sure who she is or what she wants to do with her new life.

No one else seems to know what to do with her either, including the two sexy cyborgs who are never far from her side, but always just out of her reach.

Cyborgs. Batch-brothers. Survivors. They thought they were prepared for anything. Then, they found her.

Wreckage and Ruin thought settling down would be simple, but living a quiet life has its own challenges.

The new ranger program might be just what they need, but it’s not all they want. Drawn to Jade since the day they rescued her from mercenaries, they’re trying to give her the time she needs to heal… and the space they need to keep their secret.

Three broken souls with the power to heal each other—if only they can let go of the past and trust in a future big enough for three.

The heroine: Jade – she had been one of the best cyber-jockeys in the known systems until corporate backed mercenaries caught her and held her prisoner. They ripped out her implants and which had allowed her to easily interact with machines with just a thought. They also left her with physical scars and panic attacks that could be triggered by something as small as loud noises. However, she was free, and she has a temporary job at the only human run tavern on Haven colony on the planet Liberty, the wild west of space. She fixes and upgrades the bar droids as best she could without having her implants.

The Heroes: Wreckage and Ruin – They are cyborgs and batch brothers. Cyborgs were created by humans to fight their wars. Wreckage and Ruin have already had a lifetime of war and they were confined to Reamus station for a time. Now that they were free, they like the forest outside of Haven for their home. They have already built a log cabin but are now working on expanding it, to give them more room for the winter. They knew they were hiding, but they have a secret and want to keep it hidden.

The Story: Wreckage and Ruin were the ones who rescued Jade from the mercs. Since then, they have looked over her and protected her. They have been waiting for her to heal from her ordeal, but in the meantime, they know they want her for themselves, though she doesn’t know that. They try to stay away as much as possible and give her time, but they are growing restless. They have also recently become Rangers and divide their time between training, patrolling and mapping the areas around the colony.

Jade feels that Wreck and Ruin think of her as a little sister. Though she dreams of having them both as hers, she thinks it will never happen. So, when she is offered a new job working on the cybersecurity of the planet, she accepts. Though she can no longer plug right in to the data sphere, she is able to work with a holographic interface and get things done in a more manual way, though not quite as old school as manually coding via a keyboard, it still isn’t her preferred method of interface. Though having surgery for a new implant could be dangerous or deadly. Jade was given her choice of locations to work at, either off planet, on the hub (an orbital platform circling Liberty) or at the palace. If she chooses off-planet, then Wreck and Ruin won’t be able to protect her or romance her.

This was the first book in this series that I have read, and I liked it quite a bit. I loved that the story takes place on a new planet in the outer reaches of space and that there are many different species of aliens there along with humans and cyborgs. I also liked the fact that Jade is a bit broken but trying to put her life back together as best she can, despite the fact that her ability to do what she loved doing has been pretty much taken away from her. I also liked that Wreck and Ruin are so protective of Jade but haven’t been pushing her to heal faster than she was ready.
