This book was received free in return for an honest review via the Goodreads Don't Buy My Love program.
An excellent near futuristic rendering of England, circa 2040. There’s gas shortages, robot service workers, and a hops plague that makes beer an adventure. Life hasn’t totally changed, there’s still public transportation, poverty and filthy bars.
The storyline moved quickly, but not so much that it felt rushed. While bot Jo-E falls quickly once his circuits reboot, it's clear strong affection on human Fane's part...believable without going overboard. Always excellent: insta-lust, but not love. Those things have to grow.
Strangely, I even liked the depiction of the evil nemeses, Professor Samuel and his henchman, Drewe. (view spoiler)
The few scenes of intimacy were well done (view spoiler) I enjoyed the ending as much as the whole story. Book also contained a small glossary of British terms used throughout the story, it was nice, but not needed, as the author did a wonderful job of making the “definition” fairly clear in her writing.
