Publisher Description
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Trapped on the low-tech planet New Eden after a devastating earthquake, Hannah's last-ditch attempt to save her people via a galactic SOS brings help in the form of a cyborg crew in need of a new place to live, led by the enigmatic RH103.
Rebuilding the ravaged New Eden is only one of the crises RH103 is facing. He doesn't know why he and his crew were created, how they acquired their starship is a mystery, and worst of all, his cybernetics are failing. His attraction to Hannah is a distraction he can't afford. But her returning his feelings is a surprise, and might be just what he needs before a total system shutdown.

Great Start To This Series
I've not read many of Jessica Marting's books, but this was an awesome start to the New Eden series and I can't wait for more! New Eden is the home to survivors of a devastating earthquake. The human survivors are struggling to live day to day so Hannah's last-ditch attempt to save her people is to send out a galactic SOS. This SOS is answered by a group of cyborgs in need of a new place to live, led by the enigmatic RH103. In exchange for their help and supplies, the cyborgs simply ask for a home here at New Edan. Hannah and her group decide to give it a try and soon find these cyborgs are more than they thought and have a history no one, including the cyborgs, expected. Full of sizzle, steam, drama, twists, and more, this was a great read and an awesome start to the New Eden series.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
First contact?
A doomed colony of technophobic humans on a backwater planet. A wandering spaceship housing a homeless band of refugee cyborg clones. A Hail Mary distress signal gone long unanswered. And the miraculous meeting that changes everything. But survival, new possibilities, and new hope have their price, when traditions collapse and old operating parameters are invalidated. For RH103 and Hannah Forsythe, the lesson is especially personal. This sexy romance is a marvelous twist on SF's time-honored first contact trope, a touching story, and a marvelously engrossing read.
