Reviews
Just gross
1By KoiCalicoNo 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
4By polyiguanaReading 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.I binged and LOVED IT!
5By Mapper724I 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
4By snoophermanIf you are looking for a futuristic easy read then this is a good choice.Awesome!
5By Motley28Great read!His Robot Girlfriend
5By ProctorassholeWhat 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. KSWHis robot girlfriend
4By SkippingSlothIt 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
1By ReegorRidiculous. 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
1By CladeaHonestly, 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 creepyBoring
3By Volleyball527I can't really complain because it was free but nothing eventful happened.His Robot Girlfriend
3By EinsteinllThe story was very good. I read all the way through and thought it was interesting. However, most of the writing is abstract (telling verses showing). The descriptions of what the robot was wearing was the most imagery used in the story. An example of being too abstract was when they went to the gym and he tried out three machines, but which machines? What were they like? How did it feel being on the machine? It was a great story but the author is telling and not showing.Interesting and Weird
2By Ninjanick65A strange read. Very similar to the book I'm writing. I think that Mike should've been a little younger than 50 years old, maybe he should've been 25 years old instead. The grammar was strange at points. This was a disappointing read.What an entailing read
5By OsingerThe title caught my attention so i picked this book to read as I commute on the bus. It was an easy book to read and kept me interested in wanting to see what happens next. The "surprise" twist in the middle was very clever. I recommend this book especially to nerds like me. I am looking forward to the next in the series. PSWaste of time!
1By Icmdn353I really kept waiting for this book to be anything more than it is - just one man expressing his idea of the perfect future. Obviously he thinks the near future involves ordering women online like customized computers. "I'll do anything you want me to, Mike." Seriously? The most interesting part (the imposter robot) took up less than one tenth of the book! On top of being ridiculously brief, it was confusing - if it wasn't supposed to be a real conflict, why include it?! What a waste of time.It has no plot!!
2By Pixel 196,5Guy buys beautiful robot to be his companion. She arrives. The rest of the book is about their daily activities. That's it! It's not even erotica. It's a book with absolutely no plot. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 only because the writing is acceptable. Thank god it was a free book.Bizarre read
2By megaton4603Here's the reason this was a bizarre read - the author truly did have some interesting plot points, but they were few and far between and entangled in the character's constant obsession with clothing shopping and ridiculous sexual content. Of course, not all of the sexual content was pointless (we are reading a book about a guy and his lady robot - we want to know what's up) and nothing was explicit, but I found the sexual scenes to be seemingly written by a 15-year-old hormonal boy and they made me laugh out loud a few times. And seriously, half of this book is about the dude and his robot buying clothes. It's constant with the shopping. I finished the book, and if you're looking for a free, hokey, easy read check it out. I won't be reading anymore from this series.I enjoyed it
4By HamiMiamiA quick read but thoroughly enjoyable. Enough so that I bought the next in the series.Review
4By notphillipThe ride was great, but the destination sucked.Crap
