About this listen

A prototype with a fierce primary directive: Protect her.

Oliver is a super-computer built inside a supermodel body; the most luxurious android invented to date. Left collecting dust in storage because of a packaging error, he's finally activated from his prolonged sleep, eager to please his beautiful new owner.

But she's running from a toxic past, and it's catching up to her. His directives are clear: Care for Becca. Protect her.

It should be illegal for an artificial man to be as gorgeous as Oliver is.

Rebecca Curtis moves to New Carnegie from her small town, leaving a controlling relationship behind. Now, she's accidentally got the hottest new android on the market.

Oliver is the perfect man: gorgeous, powerful and dedicated. Becca's attraction is instant. She shouldn't feel this way. He's just a machine.

When her ex-boyfriend refuses to let her go, Oliver keeps her safe. But for how long?

Oliver wants to shield and love Becca in ways she's never experienced. Can he defeat her doubts and bury her past where it belongs?

I liked the concept of android feeling, continuing after Victor which I assume is the prequel. It was a good story and Oliver is a fun character, albeit an android one. Definitely a series to listen to (I was lazy and had the audiobook).

While this is not a genre I usually listen to, I found this book interesting. I was particularly fascinating how Roxi McClaine very carefully and gently included some of the ethical and other concerns about using AI technology in this way and the potential for it to possibly go sideways. I particularly appreciated how she mentioned that using these androids in violent ways could save people from sex trafficing and abuse BUT that does not mean people with a proclavity for violence aren't still potentially dangerous and unstable. She definitely had me considering different aspects of this topic. In fact the book was almost like a pro and con reflection of developing technology like this carefully wrapped up as a piece of romantic fiction. The relationship between the protagonists was also relatable considering how Becca had a past that repeatedly came to haunt her. Oliver was there to protect her, even at the risk of his own demise, so of course she would want a partner who could not and would not hurt her and who was dedicated to look after her. In that respect, there is a sweetness to the story too!

Honestly, I liked the story because it did make me think but I am not sure if I would continue with the series. But it is certainly interesting!.

Oliver Book 1 in New Carnegie Androids by Roxie McClaine has created such a unique world and Oliver is such a delightful character, I totally feel in love with him! Becca is a lucky girl! Christian Leatherman does such an amazing job voicing all the characters giving them their own personalities, very talented.

I loved listening to Christian Leatherman, he brought out the characters and made this a very enjoyable listening

Loved listening to Oliver. Oliver is an android his owner can't help but fall in love with him . We have hate groups, business ethics, an abusive ex, self esteem issues, slow burn romance and facing being ostracized. There is humor, romance .

The narrator, Christian, manages to give voice to each of these character uniquely. Each with their own sound, intonation, accent. It's been awhile since I read this book, but Christian's voice brought all of it back.

I have been lucky enough to have discovered Roxie from the start, thanks to our love for the game Detroit: Become Human.

Roxie has been able to create something unique in which she has found her own voice. Oliver is sexy, steamy as heck and perfect for Becca.

Even more magical in audiobook
