Metallic Love

Random House Publishing Group, Mar 1, 2005 - Fiction - 301 pages
In her now-classic tale The Silver Metal Lover, award-winning author Tanith Lee told the spellbinding story of Jane and her forbidden love for a robot named Silver. In this stunning follow-up, the legend of their tragic romance lives on. But nothing is as it was–or as it seems.…

As an orphan growing up in the slums, Loren read her clandestine copy of Jane’s Story over and over, relishing every word. But Loren is no Jane. Savvy and street-smart, Loren could never be stirred by a man of metal, her passion never ignited by an almost-human–even one designed for pleasure.

Still, when the META corporation does the unthinkable and brings back updated versions of robots past–Loren knows she must see Silver. And just like Jane, it is love at first sight. But Silver is now Verlis. If he was perfection before, he is now like a god. Yet he is more human than his creators think–or fear. While Loren doesn’t quite trust him, she will follow her twice-born lover into a battle to control his own destiny–one that
will reveal to her the most astonishing illusion of all.

Review: Metallic Love (Silver Metal Lover #2)

User Review  - Tenaya Jayne - Goodreads

I'm a new fan of Tanith Lee, but I am a fan! I was originally put off by the subject matter in this book but the writing was so good, I was quickly engrossed. I had no idea where the author would take the story from one page to the next. I love that! It's so rare. Read full review
