Ghost in the Machine (Corwint Central Agent Files #1) 
“Love is like a wormhole. You stumble on to it blindly, it sucks you in and takes you somewhere completely unexpected. You can’t fight it, because that would tear your ship apart. You can’t control it, either. All you can do is set your thrusters on glide and let it take you where it’s going to take you.”
Going against the rules of her Vesparian Sisterhood, which seeks to keep its entire existence a secret, Orynn is thrown into the open by a request for help that she could not refuse. Seeking to reconcile past mistakes and gain a forgiveness she feels she does not deserve, the control over her empathic abilities is put to the test when the darkness that lives within her spirit threatens to once again destroy any piece of happiness that she allows herself to find.
As a Mechatronic Automaton, Ethan defines his world through a set of logically defined values and understandings. Encountering Orynn throws his system out of balance as he tries to decide if he should trust the feelings he is developing, or if he should follow the logic telling him that she is trying to control him for some unknown purpose. Should he keep her at a distance despite his want to bring her near, or should he follow the heart he swears he does not have? As his understanding of her develops, he begins to question all of his preconceived notions about both himself and the universe around him.
Science fiction, in all its multifarious forms, is a genre of ideas, perhaps more so than any other genre. At its best, sci-fi can make the reader question the very nature of existence or what it means to be human. Romance, it could be argued, is a genre of emotions; the best told romantic stories elicit from the reader a maelstrom of mixed feelings as the protagonists muddle their separate ways through the minefield of hindrances to finally arrive at love.Rare is the beast that balances
I got this book as a freebee on Amazon and I wasn't sure how to feel about it at first, considering the aliens, machines and spaceships with a love story thrown in there somewhere, but I was pleasantly surprised. The author did a really good job of depicting this universe with all its diverse cultures each one unique and complex in its own right, each with its own history, yet each interlinked. the characters too were well developed and complex with an interesting storyline revolving around the

I picked up Ghost in the Machine because I was specifically looking for a sci-fi/romance novel, and the title and blurb caught my eye among the dozens of choices. Plus, it was surprisingly free that week to download on Amazon. The story started off with a lot of structure problems: general grammar issues, tense shifts, and info-dumps in dialogue that should've been very well known to the recipient of said speech (AKA "As You Well Know" conversations). Despite this, I decided to soldier on and
Deifinitely more romance than sci-fi and it was a bit heavy on the unnecessary angst. All this "secret keeping for your own good" melodramatic nonsense. I know this sounds like I didn't like the book. I did, for the most part, except when I didn't (which mostly comes down to the melodramatic overkill female protagonist) RTC.
A little too much like Firefly for my taste.
This was a pretty good read. I enjoyed the creativity and imagination. As well as the characters and their varied personalities. This was interesting, has suspense, emotions, courage, strength and growth. This was a page turner (somewhat) and I enjoyed getting to know everyone. However, I did not like the ending. It's a cliffy and I didn't enjoy getting that surprise. I am going to get the next book (it's free) but only to finish this one as I don't really want to read what that one's about.
