Cass is a robot imprisoned with an abusive owner, Natalia. She yearns to be loved, to feel as humans do, and become an android. Brandon—her owners boyfriend—makes her feel special, like a woman, not a machine. But as more and more of her memories come flooding back, depicting a life before coming into Natalia’s home, she realizes her future is uncertain. Becoming an android will mean going against her automaton programing. Will her struggle to become an android ultimately be her undoing? Provocative, mysterious, and filled with romance, What Lies Behind explores what it means to be different and the power of love to cross all boundaries. Scroll up to buy today! >>>How did you get into science fiction romance? I didn’t always love reading new adult dystopian. I mean, my favorite book growing up (and to this day) is A Wrinkle in Time, but I didn’t have a love for reading at all. When I reached the seventh grade we had to read books. She didn’t care what books we read, they could be futuristic romance novels, they could be horror, they could even have robot romance in them. She didn’t care. The teacher had a lot of sword and sorcery novels in her classroom library, and once I found those, I was hooked. Though, I didn't get into young adult romance until much later. >>>Who should read this book? I know a lot of adults read young adult, and that’s awesome. I never pictured my new adult dystopian for teens, but it works out just as well. There’s nothing too graphic in my book, and while there’s a tiny bit of swearing, I’ve read much worse. The real audience I was going for are those women out there who love futuristic romance novels and those looking for awesome, robot romance. I find I have a lot in common with women my age, and my characters are typically of the female variety and just starting out in life, so that works. Honestly, these books could work for anyone. >>>Are there any authors who've shaped your writing? I've read a few new adult dystopian books but for the most part these futuristic romance novels weren't inspired by anything except my own wondering on what a future with androids in it might look like. That's when the idea of robot romance came to me.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyed this book By Mandy *I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing's Member Giveaways program in exchange for an unbiased review. Brief plot spoilers may follow.*I loved the sci-fi part of this story and the concept of a robot becoming self-aware and even in that state, aspiring to find a different way to live. If I had to describe this premise, I’d call it Terminator meets Pinocchio in a Cinderella kind of way. LOL The fact that Cass was a robot and supposed to be programmed to her owner’s exact needs and desires, but somehow became self-aware and ready to chart her own destiny (such as it was), then had another uphill battle with wanting a life, a way of being, as close to normal as she could possibly get was an offbeat mix that somehow worked for the story. It reminded me of the tv show Dollhouse, where there was a similar concept, but What Lies Behind had a different take on it that I really appreciated. I liked Cass, and I liked that a lot of the book was actually about her journey to becoming completely self-aware, as she first learned to question, then questioned freely. We were able to read along as she was able to understand the differences between her and androids or her and humans, and as she learned the various things she could not experience because of who she was. Instead of it being narrated that she was questioning or having that part skipped completely, it was peppered into almost every interaction she had throughout the book. I liked the ‘android equal rights’ bit; I thought it was a solid way of integrating androids and robots into society in an official way rather than them simply being people’s toys. One thing that I really liked about What Lies Behind was the ‘are humans really different from automatons’ argument, which ended up proving to be a very valid question with the way that the author broke down the similarities between the two. If you’re expecting a more in-depth romance, you won’t be finding it in What Lies Behind, but I actually don’t mind that as it allows for Cass’s growth to take center stage. For the majority of the book, she isn’t even aware that she is capable for any sort of emotional connection at all, so it wouldn’t have been plausible for her level of development at the time. I appreciate that said fact was honored throughout the book and that the idea of allowing the characters to come together a bit more slowly was acted upon. I also liked that the story itself and the descriptive abilities weren’t too elaborate; describing and explaining an advanced society and sci-fi details at the same time can easily become a wordy affair. The author described the details that were essential to the book or the scene, there wasn’t too much description otherwise and I think it was better that way.As for any critiques, I would suggest another run-through by an editor or proofreader; there were a few points of inconsistency and grammatical errors throughout the book. They weren’t severe and I could still understand what was being said, but they were noticeable enough. I wish we’d gotten to know Brandon a bit better as well. It was fully understood that he was a caring and thoughtful person, but we didn’t get to learn too much else about him; there wasn’t too much backstory about him or any of the major characters save for a couple of sentences. The final confrontation in the story felt a little anticlimactic for me. I appreciated that the book wasn’t overly complex, but I guess I expected a little more oomph out of that final scene between Olivia and Cass.Overall, I enjoyed What Lies Behind. I liked the mix of sci-fi, self-exploration and romance and I think it was done in a way that could appeal to both sci-fi and romance fans alike. It wasn’t heavy on either one—it wasn’t full of flowery statements or feelings, but wasn’t quite as cold and unfeeling as many sci-fi books about automatons tend to be. By the by, if you’ve seen and liked Dollhouse, then you’ll probably like this book. It’s a short but interesting read, with concepts that are integrated in a realistic way for the society of that time.

Hall I received a copy of What lies Behind from Travis Simmons, probably originally through Library Thing, but eventually through email.I am so happy that Travis sent me this book and that I decided to blow off work for a day to read it! ; )This fantastic tale is a story about Cass, a machine, a robot, a servant to humans and their causes. This is political, horrific and romantic. I laughed, I cried….it was better than CATS. Seriously though, this book is short yet packed and complete. Nothing is missing, you will love the journey and the end is satisfying. Underlying all the great Tech/sci-fi stuff is a great little love story, not too sappy , but enough to make the romantic in you happy. Not too techie either, but again, enough to make the sci-fi lover smile. It has realistic qualities, at least for those of us that believe that computers will someday be in the brains of all humans and that robots can be lovers, teachers, friends and family.My only wish is that they make a movie of this…possibly a TV series…yeah, a TV series could really work. I would love love love to see Cass and Brandon come alive and take on some bad androids and robot abusers. So my final thought is for you Mr. Travis Simmons….keep writing, you brought joy to this lady!PS: Travis, my boss doesn’t know that I didn’t do anything at work yesterday, so I got away with it. Anything else you would like to send, I would be honored to read and review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Multi-layered Success By Deb Hall What Lies Behind is one of those books that grabbed me from the start. I tore through it when I originally got a copy, and then had to reread it a couple more times in order to really get all the nuances in the plot and subplots. As the description says, Cass is a robot, but there are pieces of her past that are missing to her. Watching her unravel these mysteries -- and seeing how others come about and play out -- is fascinating.The introduction to this book has a caveat of sorts by Simmons saying that he had do some research in the romance department. Researched or not, the romance in the book works. The main character is, after all, a robot who is only recently developing feelings that non-humans wouldn't normally have. And given that the romance in question is frowned upon in the world Simmons has created brings it to another, deeper level.As with other books Simmons has written, What Lies Behind also casts a mirror to some of the social problems in our real world that plague society. That's one of the great jobs fiction has -- shedding light on a current social or political climate. Simmons does it seamlessly without breaking from the story or shoving viewpoints down the reader's throat.Do you like romance that's real, not cookie-cutter? Do you like strong character arcs? Do you like intrigue? Do you like fiction that makes you think? Try this book. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
