What a beautiful love story. I was not expecting the depth that this story went into. There were some really dark moments that tore my heart apart. Ronin has officially become my first "bot boyfriend" lol... he has won a place in my heart forever. Definitely a 4.5 star book for me. Tiffany Roberts never disappoint and they are my favorite duet authors.

3 stars for Tiffany Roberts, Another star for the romance and dialog, Another star for the tears it made me shed.
Even if the the book isn’t like any of TRs other books/series, even though it’s a robot romance - it got me right in the feels.
If you’ve ever wanted to bang a robot (don’t lie, we all wanted our own t1000) or if you like post apocalyptic stories with HEA and a dash of pain. This is for you. It does have graphic violence and dark themes so be aware.

I really enjoyed this book.
The world building was fantastic, I could really imagine it.
Robin was an absolutely amazing character, I loved seeing his personality develop.
I will admit that Laura was not quite my favourite FMC, but the story/world/Ronin was so good that it didn't matter.

It started strong, I was really into it. Then the dreaded insta love happened. It was weird as it did not seem like insta love would happen. It was slow burn but suddenly turned. Did not work for me.

Things I liked:
- The world building
- The premise of robot and human
- Ronin, and all his sweetness
- The conclusion wrapping things up
- The exploration into bots being able to evolve into sentience
Things I did not like:
- Lara, and her temper of a 7 year old
- How slow the book got at times. It took me 6 days to complete this when I typically complete a book every other day
- Did I mention Lara?
There was a lot to love, and such a good premise, but when you dislike one of the main characters, it's very difficult to enjoy the book as a whole. Add on to that how slow the plot got over and over, at like 40% then preparing for the end at like 75%.

This book me forever to finish since it was over Christmas break (with little guests) and during a Seattle snowpocalypse (in which I still had to get to the office). I probably would have been more emotionally invested if I hadn't been constantly interrupted :)
Ronin was awesome. I know we had a description of him but I tended to forget what he looked like. I think we were told many times about Lara being a red head, so that was easier.
The whole story was great but as they prepared for the war I thought I had an easy way to end it with no damages and they chose a different route. Something along the lines of capturing a bot at a time (or a planned attack to capture a bunch) and take out their power cells carefully so they could be reused at later dates. Then keep them in the underground bunker as you whittle away the Warlords source of power until you could capture him (or kill, I am ok with that) without too many casualties. Oh well.
The ending made me want to weep- this was a love story sweetly told.

This book is like if Stephen King’s gunslinger Roland was a post-apocalyptic cyborg who got to live his love story.

This might be TR's best book (that i've read, anyway) - even though i guess the cover sort of alludes to it now that I'm looking closer, I actually wasnt expecting the whole post-apocalyptic robot/human aspect of it - which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. & the relationship between R & L was pretty good too. I'd also recommend Good Deeds by Kathryn Moon if you want another similar read.
