Synopsis (What the author wrote)

When a teenage cyborg is forced to hide out at a small-town high school, the unthinkable happens: she falls in love.

(Winner of the Maryland Romance Writers Reveal Your Inner Vixen contest.)

Jay’s a cyborg who looks just like normal teenage girl. She’s super-strong, super-smart, and she can even appear to grow and age like a human. When a covert organization intent on using Jay as a weapon comes after her, she needs to find a place where she can blend in. Greenfield High seems perfect… except that the boys all think she’s totally hot and keep hitting on her, and she has no clue how to handle the attention. Who knew high school could be so perilous?

To add to her confusion she’s evolving - experiencing human emotions for the first time. And when she encounters ex-jock-turned-outcast Tyler, he sends her logical brain into a spin. She’s just starting to get the hang of this girlfriend/boyfriend thing when her pursuers track her down. Now’s sooo not the time for a cyborg to fall in love and get all emotional!

What I Feel

Oh my God. That was my first reaction when I delved deeper into the story. The mystery surrounding Jay and her emotions that were so confusing to her. I totally love how this was written and boy oh boy, the plot thickened!

First of all, it was not too much information about any particular character that just rambled on and on. Second, each character had their own personalities that came to life as I continued to read. Third, I had to finish reading it no matter what. I love how the romance blossom without being too mushy or even physical. I was brought back to my days of being a teenager and how the feeling of loving someone felt so foreign then.

A good story!
