Description

Her dream job is becoming her worst nightmare. Attorney Tempest Waters jumps at the chance to make a difference in the galaxy by joining the president’s administration. But once inside the White House, she discovers the publicly personable politician is criminally corrupt and venal to the core. Unfortunately, Tempest has seen too much to be allowed to resign. When the menacing henchman Benjamin Bane begins dogging her every step, she fears she may be in serious trouble. With the excuse of checking on the president’s planetary interests, she escapes to dune-covered, sand-blasted Sajave—only to have Bane follow her. Not all cyborgs are good guys. Some are stone-cold killers. When Benjamin Bane undergoes the transformation to cyborg, he suffers a rare complication—the loss of his emotions. He’s unable to feel more than shallow sentiments. On the plus side, being dead inside makes his job as an enforcer doing the president’s dirty work a lot easier. But then he encounters Tempest Waters. Something about the unassuming but efficient presidential aide catches his eye. What begins as mild interest soon becomes an obsession as she reawakens his dormant passions and sweeps him into a vortex of emotion. But he can’t afford to feel anything. He’s been ordered to kill her. Vortex (Cyborg Force 3) is an enemies-to-lovers science fiction romance that will have you clinging to the edge of your seat. Get Vortex and hang on. Your steamy, suspenseful, action-packed ride is about to begin.

  • Tempest and Bane’s Love Story

    “I couldn’t afford to care about her because I knew how her story would end.” Holy moly, best book in the series. Whatever you do, do NOT read any reviews that discuss the plot. Believe me, you do not want to risk any spoilers. This book had so many twists and turns I could barely keep up and it was fantastic! I literally had no idea what would happen next. My stomach hurt and I even cried for these two. Bane broke my heart! Loosing his ability to feel any emotions is just a tragedy. I could tell buried inside there was this wonderful, honorable man. And Tempest! She desperately needed someone she could trust. So alone, so terrified, just trying to survive was almost more than she could bare. I just loved the two of them together!.

    Tempest was in deep but thought she was doing good. She starts to realize she is not serving the greater good but by then it's too late when she has a target on her back. Bane had to be something he was not and Tempest changed him. This was a great book with some surprises that you didn't see coming. They are going to have to have an airtight case the catch this president up. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
  • “Did I dream of escaping the minefield? Of course, but I was a realist."

    Tempest may have been at least part idealist when she started working for the President, but she'd had the job long enough to become a realist. Now she's praying she can prevent a PR fiasco and clean up a mess before things get out of hand, or worse, the blame falls on her. Bane is an enforcer for the President, a hard job when he isn't quite sure where Tempest's loyalties truly are. This done in one book stands nicely on its own while moving the overarching arc forward. Full of social commentary, in the best ways, this is a great example of how science fiction and fantasy novels can get us thinking about our own world and lives. I was gifted with a copy of this book, chose to share my thoughts, and I'm looking forward to more in this series.

    Benjamin Bane, a cyborg with no emotions, works as an enforcer for President Kathryn Jodane. His job is to eliminate problems for the President, and he is very good at his job. When she begins to suspect on of her employee’s is as loyal as she would like, she orders Bane to follow her. Tempest Waters is an attorney. She agreed to work for the President when she was asked because she felt it was her patriotic duty. Little did she know what she was getting herself into. When she sees something she wasn’t supposed to she knows she is in trouble but has no idea how to get herself out of it and still be alive! She gets a message from Geo-Tech that would throw a huge monkey wrench in the Presidents plans to develop the planet Sajave. Tempest sees this as the perfect opportunity to get off the planet and hopefully figure out her next step. Unfortunately the President finds out she is going and Bane talks her into letting him follow her instead of just killing her. When Tempest finds out that Bane is following her she figures her time is limited. She throws herself into trying to contain the mess that is erupting on Sajave. Unfortunately forces are working against both of them and danger is right on their heels! Well written with lots of action and I love the ending!!.
