Book description
Okay, so I just finished The Cyborg Way as an audiobook, and wow-this is the cozy sci-fi romance I didn't know I needed. Honey Phillips nailed it. Ellie's a lonely Mars homesteader, all quiet determination and lichen gardens, and L-485 (Henry, the gruff cyborg ranger) is basically the brooding, overprotective neighbor you'd want if you were stranded on a red planet. But then she finds this tiny, impossible creature hiding in her lichen-Henry, who's way too cute for his own good-and suddenly, the whole lonely vibe turns into something way sweeter.
The audiobook? Chef's kiss. The narrator totally got Henry's voice-deep, a little rough around the edges but soft when he's talking to Ellie. And the little "Henry" creature? Adorable. You can hear his chirps and tiny noises in your headphones, and it made me grin like a goofball. Ellie's not just some damsel; she's smart, stubborn, and fiercely protective of her secret. Henry's whole thing is "I'm a cyborg, I'm not good enough for you," but you can tell he's already head over heels, watching her from a distance like a total softie. Their banter? So real. You feel every awkward moment and quiet, "I like you" moment.
Plus, the corporate villain trying to control Mars? Classic sci-fi tension, but it never overshadows the heart of the story. It's the perfect blend of "oh no, they're gonna get caught!" and "wait, they're so cute together." The steam is there, but it's sweet and slow, like a warm cup of tea on a Mars morning. And honestly? The way they solve the mystery of Henry's existence? Chef's kiss. It's not just about saving the day-it's about two lonely people realizing they're not so alone anymore.
If you love sci-fi with a side of slow-burn romance, a dash of corporate intrigue, and a tiny creature who steals your heart? This audiobook is pure magic. I listened to it in one sitting (shameless, I know), and I'm already itching to hear it again. Seriously, grab this one-your next favorite listen is here. You won't regret it.
