I picked this book accidentally, as I was in need for my fix of Ms. Dohner works. Though the book is the 8th installment in the series, it could be read as stand alone. Glad I read it first before the previous installment (the first few books left me spat hateful words). I love the hero and the heroine, Blackie and Eve (what kind of name is Blackie - sound like a dog). And the storyline kind of heartbreaking. It was cruel to say the least -- hundreds of the heroine kind killed for helping Cyborg and it happen because they were left behind intentionally by the cyborg itself.The heroine just awesome. Love her resourcefulness and her genius mind. To survive years with just her sister alone in the hard life of outer space. The hero also win me. Their problem occur for outside, as their own relationship was strong (well, I tend to overcome the insta-love in this type of story).Can not wait for the next Cyborg. “I wish to care for you”Haunting Blackie Laurann DohmerIt seems like forever since we got our fix from Laurann Dohmer’s Cyborg Seduction series. So when Haunting Blackie was promoted I totally jumped on it.The story opens with Blackie at a termination facility being tortured. His pain receptors where turned off and he felt everything. He just wanted the torture to stop. Classified/Top Secret mission code name 895589 was an agreement between the cyborgs and a group of canine units (they’re existence/creation was not known with all the Cyborg Council) to help save as many Cyborgs from their destruction. A female known by code name HellFire was right in the middle of it all coordinating the escape of the trapped cyborgs. She was picking up on something albeit a weak signal she followed her gut and tried to locate who was in pain. That’s when she came across the big, handsome, magnificent cyborg later known as Blackie. She immediately went into action trying to free him all along talking to him and telling him what he is capable of and what he’ll need to do. Still unsure Blackie didn’t know whether to trust her or not. When they made it to the dock where he was to hijack a shuttle they were too late and the shuttle already left. They needed to hide and wait for another. She continued to brief him what he’ll need to do to make it out to safety. She told him to use the code 895589 and it would lead him to safety. There was an instant attraction between the two of them and Hellfire promised she would meet up with him and be his bunkmate. When the plan started going downhill Hellfire knew she had to be a distraction and went and faced the guards. Blackie watched her being smacked around unable to help he didn’t want to let her go he wanted her to come with him. As the story plays out and it is time to escape earth, Blackie is waiting for his female to show as promised, when the shuttle takes off and she’s a no show Blackie is devastated. Years pass and Blackie assumes his female is dead. But that doesn’t stop her haunting his dreams. When on patrol with the Bidden they come to the rescue of a barge under attack by pirates only to find out his female is who he is rescuing. God I loved this story. I’m not divulging anything else. You need to read “Haunting Blackie”. It is full of lies, deception and atrocities. What happened to Eve (Hellfire) and her littermates was unthinkable. The one sister she saved Danica and the Cyborg who has it bad for her (Danica). Blackie and Eve so get their HEA and now I’m so wanting the next Cyborg story. It has to be Gene and Danica, it just has to be. I hope we don’t have to wait forever for this one. You figure it was 3 ½ years from Taunting Krell to Haunting Blackie’s release. I don’t want to wait that long. Laurann you did it again and Haunting Blackie is a 5 * in my book or rather on my kindle.
What do You think about Haunting Blackie (2014)?
I love all of Laurann's books and this one doesn't disappoint.
