Mutt by Naomi Lucas
SUMMARY

BEWARE OF DOG

Clara was confused when she encountered the sign outside the Cyborg breeding facility. She wanted a child and nothing would stand in her way. But she didn’t heed the sign’s warning—she had more important things on her mind—and once she understood, it was too late. Her heart was already on the line.

Reid was the ultimate protector, the perfect bodyguard, his loyalty embedded in his DNA. The animal his creators chose for him was a favorite, a downright blessing, and an ongoing nightmare. He found the perfect reprieve after the Great Galactic War: Division Head of the last Cyborg breeding facility on Earth. The empty halls offered more than silence—they offered him sanctuary.

Territory.

When a woman walked through his door, begged to join the program, and wouldn’t take no for an answer, her delicate features and desperation awakened a behavior that had long lain dormant—his need to claim.

MY REVIEW

This book is slightly different to the other books of the series so far. The action does not happen on a spaceship or on an alien planet. The story takes place on Earth which apparently is not a friendly place anymore - especially if you are a lonely woman who tries to get pregnant with any way possible and she is chased by her psycho ex.

Reid is a cyborg and a shifter (maybe the last cyborg on earth as sometimes he jokes). He is also the Head of the last Cyborg breeding facility on Earth. A facility which it has only one doctor, himself. And 0% success in breeding.

When Clara appears asking to be bread with Cyborg DNA, Reid realises that she mainly wants a place to hide. So he does what he knows best. He tries to throw her out and discourages her from coming back. Reid has survived alone for so many decades and although his natural instincts urge him to form a pack, he continuously denies his true nature.

But apparently he will like Clara and he will want to protect her and when she finally convinces him to experiment with her, he will only wish to give her his own DNA.

This is a very interesting story and moreover lots of the characters from the previous books will appear. It is time for a few cyborg mates to have babies :)

I think the fourth story of the Cyborg-shifter universe has made the series stronger and I can easily predict many many books to come.
