"I promise. Not all of me's made of metal."
A cyborg with a mysterious and dangerous past. A naive girl fleeing the dying farmlands to forge her own future.
Chance has fought his entire life, first for survival in the streets of Cyn City and later for money and prestige in the underground Cyborg Fight League. His fists and cybernetic arm have solved almost every problem he's ever faced, except for love. After losing the love of his life, he never thought he'd find someone again.
Verity left behind everything she knows to start a new future in Cyn City. But her Ecovangalit upbringing left her unprepared for the hard realities of life among the criminals and cyborgs. When a dangerous cyborg with a bad reputation proves to be the only person she can trust, can she lower her walls enough to let him in?
As Verity finds herself in debt to the kind of man who will sell her body as fast as he will sell her soul, Chance is the only one who can clear her ledger, but only if he'll fight in the Cyborg Underground Circuit again.
Is Chance strong enough to win the only fight that ever mattered?
Contains mature themes.

Interesting take on cyborg love it

The voice actor did a fantastic job bringing this story to life, though I had to speed up the narration slightly due to my sensitivity to pitch. Once I adjusted it, I was completely immersed and a happy listener.
The story itself is unique, centering on two groups—those who live within the city and those who arrive from elsewhere, each carrying their own strange and complex backstories. It’s a clash of different upbringings, where neither side truly fits into the other’s world, yet this is the reality the two main characters must navigate.
There’s a lot of emotional depth here—broken hearts and wounded souls all struggling to find a way forward, to survive, or to heal in their own ways. Initially, I was concerned about the age gap, as the book doesn’t explicitly state the male protagonist’s age, only the female lead’s. However, based on his maturity and life experience, I’d place him in his late twenties or early thirties. He carries the weight of a life lived under harsh circumstances, while the female protagonist, though also shaped by hardship, has a different kind of spirit. She’s not a follower—she’s a natural leader, albeit a bit naive when it comes to his world. But she learns quickly.
What adds depth to the story is the way events ripple beyond just the main couple. Things happen to people around them that shift the dynamics in unexpected ways, laying the groundwork for what could be a spin-off or a continuation with a new couple in a different setting. The city itself feels vast and layered, with different groups existing in their own spaces while still being interconnected.
Overall, Chance is a gripping and emotionally charged story that could easily translate into a miniseries. The city is intriguing, but it’s the emotional journeys of its inhabitants that truly drive the narrative forward. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to see more stories set in this world.

🙄Narrator is slow and whispery and never pronounces her Ts, so button = BUH’un and eaten = EE’en
🙄More and more F bombs
🙄The naughty parts are “F baby, you feel so good” cringe (actual quote from the first of three scenes)
🙄Verity is a naive country girl who punches her V card a month after getting to the big city
🙄Also, Verity starts cussing, with gems like “who crawled up that Bch’s C?” Riiight.
🙄Repetition of things like her noticing his dimples or him feeling joy for the first time in forever
🙄Yet an absence of details like what color are the MC’s eyes, skin or hair?
🙄Also, an absence of heat, humor or action, except for the fight at the end,
which graphically describes a face getting torn off
🙄Also, the summary gives you the plot for 5 of the 6 hrs of this story
🙄🙄🙄And the whole set up for Chase needing to enter the ring? Ridiculously illogical.
Mild spoiler (because let’s face it, you can see this coming from the summary):
Chase knows Verity intends to go to the loan shark for help and merely gives cryptic, unexplained orders for her not to. The loan shark changes the rules, won’t accept complete payback with 12% interest, because Chase hands over the money instead of Verity?! And Chase, the supposedly streetwise killer accepts this?! And then Chase agree to a fight to the death as the new terms for wiping out her debt because …? Why would anyone keep making deals with a loan shark who can’t be trusted?
The only thing I liked was the unique setting of a sodden city, barely protected from the sea by walls that the downtrodden toil to maintain. Unfortunately, there’s never an explanation of how this came to be and it ends up being little different than any other rundown tenement for Chase to rescue Verity from.
The story is more robotic than the cyborg

I’d still like to see this author expand this world as she conceived it, as I love futuristic dystopian media, and there are good features to flesh out…like why is the city sunken and wet, while surrounded by a desert? More detail about where the men work and what the cycle is for the workers, which results in the male lead leaving that job and getting in debt. Those are features that would shape that character…but we don’t really get some bits of why until the end and it’s anticlimactic.
I hope this series continues past the first books
