About this listen

Flint is tall, gorgeous and dangerous. He’s a cyborg - the absolute ultimate alpha male. He takes what he wants and holds what is his. Mira is his now. He takes her aboard his ship and has her branded with his mark. He captured her, owns her, and she will serve his every need.

Mira is instantly drawn to Flint, fascinated by his seductive appeal. The sex between them is smoking hot. Until she finds out he is a breeder, contracted to a dozen cyborg women, and she is no more than a possession.

Mira won’t share her cyborg and she belongs to no one - not even to a man who has captured her heart. She doesn’t know if cyborgs feel... anything. Can Flint love her? Mira is determined to find out, no matter how much trouble she makes for the big guy.

Reader Advisory: This book contains a sexy, voyeuristic bondage scene in which Flint generously demonstrates his sizzling skills for the benefit of another cyborg.

Editor reviews

Laurann Dohner's vision of an intergalactic future, with its fleshed-out history and cultural tensions, sets the stage for dark master/slave fantasies to play out in unexpected ways. Mindy Kennedy's performance captures both the rawness and the sweetness of the emotional roller coaster Mira and Flint are forced to ride as their different worlds collide in equal parts pleasure and pain.

Sure to satisfy fans of Dohner's New Species and Mating Heat series, Burning Up Flint is a quick and sexy listen that's difficult to pause as it teases listeners with the question of whether this budding cyborg-human romance can survive.

I'm ambivalent regarding this novel. On the one hand, the character development is great as well as the setting. On the other hand, this is a story about a girl being kidnapped then developing Stockholm syndrome. It doesn't matter if the girl comes - it's still rape!

Really, same reviews for all these books!

Unusual. Badly written but still fairly erotic.

Engineered super warrior people created on Earth, now hiding from humans in space. Lots of buff, silver men with big muscles and big... um... everything, apparently. Human woman comes along, shows him how to be in love etc etc while they have lots of explosive, steamy sex.

As mentioned - badly written but entertaining...

Entertaining book 1

What was one of the most memorable moments of Burning Up Flint?

How protective flint is.

Which character – as performed by Mindy Kennedy – was your favourite?

I have to say Flint.

Great story

this is not a bad book, I enjoyed. I read the 'New Species' books first before going for this book and I have to say that I like the new species books better, but I will read the other books within this series as well as I said I did enjoy reading this book.

Janine expressed my thoughts exactly already in 2015. I'll copy it here just to add voice to it:

I've delved into a fair amount of alien/ warlord/ sci-fi/ monster/ fantasy smut (and romance as well) and this doesn't stand out from the crowd in any meaningful way. The cyborg's alienness on the individual level basically boils down to their massive build and a bluegrey skincolor, which isn't nearly titillating enough after books by Anna Carven or Naomi Lucas. The only interesting part was the third act angst, where the heroine didn't end up budging on her one demand. That was a positive surprise, but it didn't save the book. I'd recommend some Dark Planet Warriors or Cyborg Shifters instead.

Meh
