3 chili peppers 🌶️ on the spice scale.
Genre: sci-fi romance
POV: Single
Ending: HEA
This was my first android romance!
Lela our human FMC works on a long-haul space freight carrier, despite being smart enough for engineering she sequesters herself to the lower levels due to performance anxiety and tends to keep to herself. She eventually develops a crush on the ship's android D-084 (or D for short) admiring his careful attention to detail and how he always seems to have his attention on her but androids can't love and worried she'd be the laughing stock of the shop for using their robot for sex she keeps her feelings to herself until eventually she finds out that there is more to D than most are aware of or appreciate. Together they try to solve some mysterious issues on the ship that could put everyone's lives at stake and the more time they spend together the closer and steamier they get.
The ending is a happy one but also a bit sad, grab your tissues because I definitely cried.
This is a super steamy sci-fi romance novella (40k words) about an android MMC, the strong, smart FMC who loves him, and their journey to discover whether an artificial intelligence can feel love.
Tropes & Content warnings -
Graphic depictions of sex
Anal play and anal sex toys
Mild violence
Bomb detonation
Life-threatening injury

My Spice Rating - 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
1 🌶️- May include hands, more kissing, "fade to black" scenes. No open door spice.
2 🌶️🌶️ - Spice happens, but it isn't often. May include open door scenes but they're infrequent or rare.
3 🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Spice happens more often and it is more detailed, Spice is part of the plot, or the book is 50/50 spice to plot.
4 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - More spice than plot, may contain kinky themes.
5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ - Absolute smut. Very little plot, sex heavy. The spicy scenes are very explicit, may contain triggering or dangerous themes, Dark romances and erotica.
