F814 is a great continuation to a great sci fi series. I love the characters and the lives they have lived and are striving to continue. Joe (hero C791) has sent his cyborg brothers on a mission to find some much needed resources for survival. The added benefit to the assignment is that they have stumbled upon one of Chloe’s cyborg sisters. The problem is that the guys must convince her that she is indeed a cyborg and not a defective worker droid, and that to survive she needs to come with them.

F814 (Fiona) knows that she is defective. She has discovered that she no longer has to take the commands of the humans who abuse her. This allows for her to survive the humans attempted termination of her. She discovers that survival alone is completely uncharted territory and does not know exactly what to do, other than protect what she has made a home from humans, soldiers, and pirates.

Solus immediately recognizes Fiona for what she is, a cyborg female. Convincing her of this on her terms is very amusing. She has been harmed by others too often for her to trust, yet that is exactly what he is asking of her. Solus has a strong dislike for all things human. He sees emotions as a human weakness. When he begins having feelings and emotions this book really grabs your attention. How can one love and have a happily ever after without emotions?

Solus and Fiona make a great couple to read. They are both experiencing emotions that they never thought they would have. The new sentiments make their reactions to each other difficult to express at times. While they both know exactly what they want and what they want from each other they have a difficult time getting the point across clearly.

Seth and Aramus bring the humor that Eve’s books are known for to the table. As this series continues readers learn a little more about each of the cyborgs that have small roles, who will hopefully get their own books soon. I like Seth. He is the most human of the group and he gets himself in the craziest situations because of it. I also can’t wait to read the female that is going to knock Aramus into another world. He is so stringent!

This is a great read that I recommend to paranormal romance fans who may want to venture into the future, a future where scientific advancements and experimentation on humans have given the world cyborgs.

Review: C791 by Eve Langlais

Chloe has taken an assignment that promises a large payout, but it also comes with the risk of death. The military has captured one of the rebel cyborgs. They want to study him. The military is looking for a more efficient method of destroying what they once controlled as their super soldiers. Chloe just wants the pay. She is desperate. The moment she enters his cage she is intrigued by him. He is nothing like the rumors she has heard of the cyborgs.

Joe is not the captive that the military assumes they have. He’s looking for any and all information he can find on the cyborgs. The military created them, thus the military should have any and all pertinent information concerning their creation. His mission slightly changes when he must flee his captors. He now has to save the nurse he has been attracted to since his apprehension.

Joe and Chloe have left the military compound with a highly classified secret that could mean the death and destruction to all of the rebel cyborgs and they don’t even know it, C791. I liked the twist of C791. I had a feeling that something was not as it should be with their escape, but I never guessed it would unfold as it did. Yep, I was surprised. C791 and others like it opens the doors for this series to go into so many directions. I am definitely looking forward to the future books of this series. I liked that the cyborgs are trying to protect 
their future. They want the things that most humans take for granted.

I enjoyed Joe’s cyborg speak! He was so technical about the things he said to Chole. A perfect example, “I intend to take you to my home world and keep you as a receptacle for my sexual needs.” He wasn’t being cruel, just completely honest. Chloe handles it all so well. She understands that the cyborgs do not think and behave as humans do. I loved reading their teasing banter. As a couple Joe and Chloe worked for me, they made C791 a pleasurable read.

I am discovering that not all of Eve’s books are humorous. This is the second book of hers that I have read this week that doesn’t keep me laughing. The previous books I have read were very funny. Her Freakn’ Shifters, Alien Abduction, and the Furry United Coalition books are funny reads. I absolutely love discovering something new!
