Review: Melting Iron (Cyborg Seduction, #3) by Laurann Dohner
Melting Iron - Laurann Dohner

 Melting Iron
 Cyborg Seduction, #3
 Laurann Dohner
 Erotic Science Fiction Romance
 August 9, 2016
 eBook

Being a female mechanic on a space station for eight years has taught Dawn a lot of tough life lessons that have hardened her heart. She’s got a temper and a mouth to match her red hair and has never backed away from a challenge. Then she’s kidnapped and blackmailed into agreeing to be a cyborg’s personal sex slave.

 

Iron is one big bastard with long, fiery red hair, intense, dark blue eyes and a stubborn streak as thick as his dense muscles. If Iron thinks he can tame her, he’s about to learn that “meek” is not in Dawn’s vocabulary. But with that handsome face, a body to die for, a wickedly talented tongue and those magical hands, the guy just doesn’t fight fair.

 

Dawn is intent on melting Iron’s icy resolve to never fall in love with a human. He’s winning her heart and she’s determined to win his right back. These two redheads have just met their matches. Let the battle for love begin.

Melting Iron is book three in the Cyborg Seduction series by Laurann Dohner.

 

I started this series with book six then went forward and then backwards. I ended up picking up the books that’s blurbs appealed to me in this series. Melting Iron sounded good, but turned out to have no plot and was just smut. I want to point out that I feel the later books in the series are better and have more of a plot and romance then the earlier books.

 

Now I see/understand a little more as to why the Cyborg’s dislike humans and why they act as they do, but for the most part in this book they are dicks and I don’t care for their societies structure that they put into place.

 

Melting Iron is my least favorite in the series. The storyline is force seduction and to close to rape for my liking. The first half of the story, nothing happens, except sex and fighting.

 

As for the romance I never felt any love between Iron and Dawn nor did I see our Cyborg change his attitude towards humans.

 

Unfortunately, I didn’t like how the story played out. Melting Iron was not the book for me. If the blurb intrigues you, I urge you to give it a shot. Just because it did not work for me does not mean it won’t for you.

Snow Melting Agents Market Growth Analysis and Development Trends

The global Snow Melting Agents Market have been estimated to display a significant growth in terms of revenue generation during the forecast period. Snow melting agents are used to remove snow from ice-covered highways and pavements. The advancing cognitive level of snow removal is being significantly used for anti-skid and anti-ice applications.

 

“Saltnets avoid unnecessary debris and helps in keeping sidewalks free of ice and snow. Initially, saltnets were attributed as niche products, but later its ecological benefits were identified for keeping pedestrians and drivers safe. Over the past several years, saltnets have increased traction as snow control has gained popularity at a staggering rate.”

 

Based on the type the snow melting agents market can be split can be split into calcium chloride, salt and sand, magnesium chloride mag, and urea. Lately, chlorinated salts have been found to be expensive, ineffective and environmentally untenable. Among the application types, the market has been segmented into governments, institutions, and households.

In order to study the span of the industry, the global market has been geographically segmented into the five key regions of North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and Latin America. Salts are extensively used in North America to de-ice the roads. North America and Antarctica are anticipated to hold the largest market share attributed to the heavy snow-fall experienced in these regions.

 

However, a lot of corrosive salts used have imposed to have a toxic effect on the concrete, waterways, plants, and animals. This has eventually degraded environmental sustainability. The development of saltnets have facilitated the controlled disposal of employed salts and is, therefore, becoming popular across these regions.

 

The market offers a multitude of challenges for the industry participants and the gaining decisive understanding of these challenges have impelled the players to pander strategic merger & acquisition activities with their fellow contenders. They have identified the sales volume, former growth statistics, cost of resources, and future prospects. Stakeholders and investors are increasing their spending on research and development activities to scale the latest technologies in their system engineering process.

TOUR, EXCERPT, REVIEW & #GIVEAWAY - Melting For You (Neighborhood Shindig #1) by A.M. Arthur
Melting For You (Neighborhood Shindig #1) - A.M. Arthur

@am_arthur, #M_M, #Contemporary, #Romance, 4 out of 5 (very good)

 

Melting For You is the first book in the Neighborhood Shindig series. This is decidedly lower angst than previous books by Ms. Arthur I have read, and we meet Joel and Isaiah. Joel has had the dirty done to him by his (ex) partner, in both his personal and professional lives. Isaiah has returned home to look after his dad after he had a heart attack, and also, hopefully, to build a better relationship with him.

The relationship between Joel and Isaiah starts off fast, but then slows down some, as they spend time together doing things, not just each other. I loved how the two of them worked together, and bounced ideas around. One major plus for me were the excellent descriptions of the Neighborhood Shindig itself. I could see it clearly in my mind, and my mouth was certainly watering with the descriptions given.

If I had anything bad to say about the book, it would be the ending felt a bit rushed to me. I only had six minutes reading time left, and neither Joel nor Isaiah had spoken to the other about staying. Apart from that, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and look forward to returning to the Shindig. Definitely recommended.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book, and the comments here are my honest opinion. *

Book Blitz - Melting The Ice

 

Melting the Ice

by Melody Heck Gatto

Publication Date: March 25, 2019

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Sports, Romance

 

 

 

 

 

Purchase: Amazon | Books2Read | Eden Books

 

 

Talia never imagined that at almost forty years old, she’d be newly single again. Not to mention picking up a sexy young man at a Pittsburgh bar. What she thought was a one-night stand, turned into night after night of the best sex she’d ever had. Even the news that he was a teammate of her brother couldn’t extinguish the desire she had for Harrison. Somehow, he had made himself a permanent fixture in her bed and was slowly moving in on her heart. He fawned over her like no man ever had before, and she was loving the attention, but she wasn’t ready to give her heart away so easily. Not after what she just went through. Harrison vowed off relationships. He was a self-proclaimed lifelong-bachelor. Talia was simply supposed to be a notch in his bedpost, a hook-up. But he was drawn to this woman with such an animal attraction.

 

Typically, he never bedded the same woman twice, yet he couldn’t get enough of Talia. At her age, she wasn’t looking for a new relationship. With Harrison, things quickly turned hot and heavy. She had her fun, and it was very fun, but now her divorce papers were finalized. It was time to figure out what made her happy, put on her big-girl pants and start the next chapter of her life. The only problem was, she knew exactly what made her happy – the one thing she shouldn’t want – Harrison.

 

 

About Melody Heck Gatto:

 

I was born and raised in the Steel City, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Steelers, and Pirates. We are famous for Mario Lemieux, Sidney Crosby, Pierogis, saying “yinz”, and sandwiches with coleslaw and French fries on them (just to name a few). I live with my husband, teen son and fur babies. We are huge hockey fans and adore our home team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. During the hockey season, our lives revolve around the game schedule. I decided one day I wanted to write a fan fiction short story about my favorite hockey player. Eventually, I no longer had a fan fiction, I had a full-length story. Sure the idea got changed around a few times, and names got changed to protect the innocent…lol. And that’s where I started. I wrote one and the rest just followed.

 

I love hockey and I love romance novels, I didn’t even know there was a whole genre of books out there when I started writing my first novel. I love making the game part of the overall story (I love the whole experience of being at an NHL game, the noise, the food, the sound of the skates on the ice.) So expect the game to be part of my books. I spend time during the season at Penguins practices watching how they interact, talk, and work on the ice, to make my scenes as real to life as possible. My hope is even if you’ve never set foot into a hockey rink, you will feel as if you had while reading my books. My characters aren’t always rough and gruff, because not all hockey players are goons. I’ve had the chance to meet a few and they are awesome guys. So, I like to show a gentle and caring side along with the rough and tough. I am a Hallmark movie junkie. I adore the Christmas movies and all the cutesy (and sometimes cliché) romance, and I love to get swept away in it all. I also will binge watch my favorite tv shows BONES FRIENDS, LAST MAN STANDING, SUPERNATURAL, and CHICAGO PD.
