πŸŒ“ Programmed for Love πŸŒ“

This is exactly what I needed to get out of my reading slump! As much as I love horror and high fantasy sometimes I just need a good romance to reset myself πŸ’™

Programmed for Love follows space engineer Lela and android D-084 aka D as they attempt to solve a mysterious case of potential sabotage that could put the entire ship and crew in danger, stranding them in space. This becomes the perfect excuse for Lela to get close to the android that she has held a massive (and very obvious) crush on for months - will D and Lela save the fate of the crew and find love in the process or will they be doomed to float through space with no escape? 

This was absolutely adorable and fun! Lela was burly and awkward and D was so comically deadpan and fun. I was laughing and crying throughout. Lyonne Riley has quickly become one of my favorite romance authors.

If you ever found yourself looking at David from Prometheus or Gigolo Joe from Ai: Artificial Intelligence and thought "am I attracted to this?" then this is the book for you! πŸ˜‚πŸ©·
