All Dora wants is to be the woman he loves . . . All Zical wants is to complete his mission . . . All the enemy wants is total annihilation . . . Blocked by the limitations of her computer hardware, Dora has used only her smarts, her humor, and her sinfully sexy voice to intrigue Rystani warrior-pilot Zical. In order to experience human sexuality--and consummate her love for him--she builds the perfect female body to inhabit. Being human is more difficult and more wonderful than Dora expected. She didn't expect the sensation of touch to alter her emotions. Nor did she expect chocolate to taste so good. Or love to be so complicated. But for a Rystani star pilot, accepting Dora as a crew woman, never mind a lover, is downright confusing. Even if Zical considered Dora fully human--which he doesn't--his tragic past has made him swear off falling in love. But as Dora's increasingly human allure becomes hard to resist, a threat to the solar system sends them on a dangerous mission to the very edge of the galaxy. As Dora explores the full extent of what it means to love, can Zical's sense of honor and his proud adherence to Rystani customs ever let him give his heart to a woman who created herself only for him? And as their enemies turn deadly, Dora and Zical must overcome their pasts . . . if they hope to fight for all of their futures.… (more)

A fairly good sci-fi read. It's about a computer that downloads its personality into a body created to appeal to a man that she (the computer) wants. It follows her transformation into a human and adjusting to life. There is a little chemistry between the main characters, but it could have been developed much more. The book itself is full of grammatical and continuity errors, which is incredibly annoying. Whoever edited this book did a terrible job. The ending was kind of a quick wrap-up. Overall, it was a good story, a little slow at times, but a decent time-waster. :) ( )

Dora has been a computer for centuries but she finds herself attracted to Zical, and wants to know him better, wants to be a human. This is a story that has been done before and better but it's readable and not too irritating, even if I did have a bit of glazing over going on when I was reading some of the sex scenes. Some of the sex felt like it was being added for no reason other than it was so many chapters or pages since the last sex scene. ( )
