Description

Mike Smith's life was crap, living all alone, years after his wife had died and his children had grown up and moved away. Then he saw the commercial for the Daffodil. Far more than other robots, the Daffodil could become anything and everything he wanted it to be. Mike's life is about to change.

  • Just gross

    No conflict, sometimes would get teased with it just for it to be brushed aside. The main character is always right. The love interest is perfect. This would make more sense if it was erotica but it’s not so it’s even weirder. Got a serious case of born sexy yesterday syndrome. Just awful.
  • Good primer to series

    Reading it as a stand-alone and compared to the others you can tell it’s a first book early in Wesley’s career. Patience is too perfect, has little agency, and the conflict events are contrived and rushed. There are side characters which are introduced but have little depth here, although some are expanded on in future books.
  • A Breezy Tale of Robot Love

    A well written, short novel about a schlumpy widower who finds true love and great sex with a pretty cool robot. Call it a rob-com. Raises some interesting points, especially considering a man in Japan recently applied for a wedding license to marry his sex doll. Hope they're happy.
  • I binged and LOVED IT!

    I binged this entire series and it was absolutely wonderful, the first book where Mike gets his new robot Patience and she essentially is customized to his liking and she gets him sorted out, the first book sets up the story for the next few books.
  • Easy read

    What a refreshing futuristic look into the real possibilities of AI in our future. Get your HOT popcorn ready for a seriously interesting read. The author makes you imagine the best possibilities afforded everyone who works and saves money for retirement. Personally I want to keep my present husband but also have someone at home with me while he pursues his hobbies and part time work. Not for sex but cooking and cleaning plus various errands. I would be in heaven. KSW

    It was an entertaining sci-fi read. Definitely not heavy reading, however the author told a story that interjected social and technological subjects to get me thinking.
  • In the future, you will order artificial sex slaves from Amazon

    Ridiculous. Isaac Asimov did humanoid robots much better, 50 years ago. It’s an impossible premise (if such “perfect” robots ever arrive, it will be gradually over decades). There would be huge social disruptions as a result of this technology (again, see Isaac Asimov’s I Robot stories). And it’s also a somewhat sick sexual fantasy, without any actual sex scenes! (A woman whose entire personality is devoted to satisfying her owner, with zero opinions of her own.)
  • Nothing worth the time

    Honestly, ch.3 is when I started reading it for laughs. No actual conflict though he brings several chances for it. Characters are quite flat, nothing really changes. It seems more like the guys internal fantasy than anything else. It you added actual sex scenes then MAYBE just MAYBE it could have been a nice literodica. As for now it just comes of creepy
