There’s a lot to like about Dawn she’s thirty-six, a welder and extremely gutsy when dealing with her captors. She believes cyborgs kidnap humans to steal their body parts, so right at the start, I figured these cyborgs weren’t likely to be half-mechanical creatures. Three other women have already been taken away, and these two have no idea what’s going to happen, though Dawn fears the worst.

You know why? Because when I read that the hero is a cyborg, I imagined mechanical body parts used in sex. When I came to write this review of Laurann Dohner’s Melting Iron, I realized that what I remember most about the reading experience is a sense of disappointment. ![]()
