Loved this book. Absolutely loved it! This might even be my fave in the whole series, the whole universe grace Goodwin had created so far! Especially these characters- I’m familiar with the rules and the different types of cyborgs and species in Greece Goodwin series, as I have read many many of them before!

I love Danika, she’s so… I’m just vibin’ with her

“Damn. Maybe I should have been matched to Viken.
No. Shut up, Danika. Sheesh. I did not need three mates. “ 😂😂

She’s strong, tough and resilient just like her mates, Thomar and Varin. Andddd she’s a naughty little vixen heheh! Love her sass and her strong headedness!

I really love, the strong, and fierceness, the distrust but yet craving to be loved cherished and protected feelings of the main character Danica - she’s true to her feelings and honest! And then two guys one is kinda insane and strong, and the other is even stronger, but kinda insane due to whatever they went through at the hands of the enemy, and I love that they will all fight for each other. This is an MFM romance and i feel like this was a great coupling and healthy, they really listened to each others feelings and grew, with lots of sexy time and banter. The unique bond between Thomar and Varin adds a special layer to this!

I really liked how each character had a distinct personality. You could very well noticed a change in characters and that is great because this book has multiple POVS, which I absolutely love, especially when executed well like this.

I love the writing. Easy, fast, good to follow, enough switches between telling and “showing” allowing me to create a vision of what’s happening and what’s going on. She succeeded in shaping the scenery well! And never shied away from swearing which I love - I like a good n old human “F*CK” 😂🤌🏼🫶🏼

It’s also so cool to see how grace Goodwin managed to bring out even a new twist and aspect with the known mating bands!! I’d never thought of this and it’s epic how she still manages to surprise me/the reader with something knew and something familiar!


And the SEXY SCENES 😏😏 ARE SO HOT! these 3 are bonded in a special way and I loved seeing them grow closer together! And just as I was thinking it was getting a bit dull and too much sex Goodwin throws an exciting plot revelation at you!!


And finally Wow this book is such a turning point for the whole series! Suddenly things are coming together and starting to make sense, and we FINALLY get a look into the enemies head!! What’s really going on?? What’s going to happen?? Even more danger?? This was such an amazing part of the series and I loved every page of it! Definitely recommend this book if you love a hot sci-fi romance with sexy cyborgs and a fierce human female who finally gets her love - set in space! With lots of sexy time 👀AND an exciting plot!

I love multiple POVS but Oh no! The plot changes quickly abruptly/rapidly with the change of pov that is sometimes a bit confusing.

Ohhh! We have A LOT of couples making a quick comeback or introduction #humancouplegoals #withthegirls LOVE IT!

I loved this book so much! It was such a fun ride! This was my first book by this author, and also my first cyborg romance and I thought that was so fun! I liked the action, the drama going on, I liked the romance, I thought the characters were interesting! I ended up binging a bunch of books by this author and if I'm looking for something as a pallet cleanser between a bunch of historical romances or a bunch of contemporary books, I for sure pick up this author so I highly recommend checking this author and this series out!

Claimed by the cyborgs by Grace Goodwin.
Interstellar Brides® Program: The Colony Book 9.
Two honorable warriors with nothing left to lose...until they find her.
Prillon warrior Thomar Arcas is the royal heir to his ancestor’s legacy of dishonor, betrayal and death. When he was captured by the Hive, some on his home world cheered. Some sighed with relief. None shed a tear. Thomar and his second, Varin, break free and destroy an enemy base, barely escaping with their lives. They transport to The Colony, the last refuge for contaminated males. Upon arrival they suffer in agony, their cyborg implants fighting for control of the powerful warriors. Defeat is not in their blood. Not in their history. Not in their souls. Unable to sever their ties to the Hive integrations, they suffer relentless pain. Unwilling to force others to suffer, Thomar has chosen an honorable death over further disgrace; until they are matched to a human female from Earth who will do anything, and sacrifice anyone, to save them.
I did enjoy this book. Great story and characters. 4*.

Whether you read this series, Bachelor Beasts, the Virgins, or just the original Interstellar Brides, you’re in for a ride. STRONG women, who battle self doubt, sensor from friends and family, their own minds and body, as well as the doubt from their prospective mates, your attention will be riveted. All series are dang well worth your time.

I really enjoyed Danika, Thomar and Varin’s story. This one had plenty of character development and emotional upheaval to go along with the alien sexy times. I read it one sitting and will definitely be looking for more from this author.

I enjoyed this gem of a read. I would love to add it to my personal library. I would also wish we had an audience at my county's library for this book. I think if it can get into the correct hands and in the right library audience it will be a very well checked out book.

3.75 stars—CLAIMED BY THE CYBORGS is the ninth instalment in Grace Goodwin’s adult INTERSTELLAR BRIDES: THE COLONY erotic, sci-fi, romance series. This is former Prince and Prillon warrior Thomar Arcas, his second Captain Varin Mordin, and twenty-three year old, human female Danika Gray’s story line. CLAIMED BY THE CYBORGS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous storyline is revealed where necessary.

Told from three first person perspectives (Thomar, Varin and Danika) CLAIMED BY THE CYBORGS follows human female Danika Gray as she is matched to Prillon warrior as part of the interstellar brides program. Not only will Danika be mated to Thomar but also to Thomar’s second Varin Mordin but all is not well with Danika’s intended mates, as Thomar’s mind remains connected to the hive, and the connection is slowly destroying his mind. Being matched with two powerful warriors, Danika finds herself ‘feeling’ their pain but quickly discovers that she can hear the cries and pain of women left behind. What ensues is the highly erotic romance and relationship between Thomar, Varin and Danika, and the potential fall-out as the Hive implants are slowly killing our story line trio.

Thomar Arcas believes he is too volatile for a mate but his immediate reaction to Danika proves too strong to ignore. Making Varin promise to protect the woman with whom they will both fall in love Thomar accepts that his time may be limited but his desire to claim Danika is stronger than he could have ever imagined. Danika is a strong willed woman and she refuses to let Thomar lay down and die. When the cries of imprisoned women begin to affect her peace of mind, Danika, along with Thomar and Varin put a plan into action to rescue the women , and anyone who wishes to free from the Hive.

The relationship between Danika, Thomar and Arvin is fated ; one of immediate and undeniable attraction and need; highly erotic, sexual and uninhibited. Thomar struggles with his attraction to a woman tied to a man who is unable to control the voices and pain but Danika has already fallen for her two intended mates. The $ex scenes are erotic, edgy, passionate and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several of the previous story line couples.

CLAIMED BY THE CYBORGS is a story of fate and love. The premise is captivating; the romance is seductive ; the characters are energetic and impassioned.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Lots of action going on in this book and it was hard to put down! As with the Interstellar Brides, there is lots and lots of hot steamy scenes but I was glad this was not one of the kind where the alien mate is very dominant and the bride submissive.

This book, the mates are Prillion which means that Danika will have two males - her primary mate, Thomar, and a second, Varin, chosen by the primary.

After seven years in prison, Danika is ready to get out and after testing more than willing to go claim her mates but they have just returned from being prisoners of the Hive and are not ready for a mate.

As we go through the book, they must fight for all of their lives, try to save some other prisoners, and get their HEA! And that road is not smooth sailing! Hope that Helion will get his book soon and that he has some bit of (I want to say humanity but he is alien!) compassion in his hard battle driven life.

This was a wild ride and I loved it. I haven't read all of the Interstellar bride books but I've read most of them and the drama is always there.

I really liked the dynamic between Danika, Thomar, and Varin. I also loved the glimpses we got of the other brides from other books.
Sure it wrapped up a bit too quickly and a bit too conveniently but that's what I'm here for.

I love the Interstellar brides program series by Grace Goodwin. Both the main series and the colony series. The interplay between these two was like always really great. Although each volume can be read independently, it is still worth following the order, as there is an overarching storyline. The covers look very similar and this makes it clear to see that it is a series. „Claimed by Cyborgs“ is the ninth part of the colony series and it is still exciting. The book has about 200 pages and it’s all there: tension, romance and hot spicy scenes. There is depth to the plot and we experience things that shed a whole different light on the war between the Coalition and the Hive.

This part is about the two prillon warriors Thomar and Varin. Both of them have been through an incredible amount of pain and no longer believe that they will ever find a bride. I love the interaction between these two and how in tune they are with each other. The inner turmoil, the doubts and the longing of is really tangible and I just couldn’t help but fall in love with them. But that’s where Danika comes into play. She was promised the perfect mates and she does everything to get them. She is there for Thomar and Varin, she does not give up hope and leaves no stone unturned to save the two. The dynamic between these three is unbelievably great and you can feel it in every line how much these three love each other.

Although there are already so many books in this series, it won’t get boring and now this turning point…. I’m going to need the next book … ASAP. Did you love the other books? Then you definitely need to this one.

I highly recommend it.

There is plenty of tension in the story. Thomar and his second, Varin are damaged and feel that they cannot claim their Interstellar Bride. She does not agree. When they face a dangerous mission all go and all are successful. That leads to a very weak ending and the reason for the 4. The big problem is just given a throw away solution almost like a afterthought. It should have been the main issue but was not.
