It feels like Lucas and Sascha take the time to get to know one another, that they understand each other, and that they genuinely like one another. And it has the ‘instinctive-mate’ thing going on, which is only half a step away from ‘fated-mate.’ Looking at the timeline I’m forced to admit that the romance develops quickly, however it doesn’t feel like it’s too fast. This is what Nalini Singh gives me, time and time again.ĭon’t misunderstand, this is a Romance, with a capital-R. I need the world to be intriguing, deep, and feel almost like some place that I could visit, someplace that could be real, in a slightly different time and place maybe even in a parallel universe. I’ve always said that characters are my first and foremost, and I still believe that, however, just behind character is world. Though I love my happy endings, the sickly-sweet or too-erotic turn that most of romance has taken lately just leaves me … apathetic. Over the years I’ve moved away from reading primarily Romance novels (usually fantasy/paranormal based) to reading more Urban Fantasy, Fantasy, and Sci-Fi. And even more amazing, I am absolutely enthralled with her worlds. Nalini Singh is one of my top favorite authors.

To say that it’s a favorite doesn’t begin to do it justice. I’ve been reading and re-reading this series since Slave to Sensation was first released in 2006. Caught between their conflicting worlds, Lucas and Sascha must remain bound to their identities – or sacrifice everything for a taste of darkest temptation.īook 0.5: Beat of Temptation (See Wild Invitation Review)īook 2.5: Echo of Silence (See Wild Embrace Review)īook 3.5: Stroke of Enticement (See Wild Invitation Review)īook 5.25: Dorian (See Wild Embrace Review)īook 9.5: Declaration of Courtship (See Wild Invitation Review)īook 10.5: Texture of Intimacy (See Wild Invitation Review)īook 11.1: Partners in Persuasion (See Wild Embrace Review)īook 12.1: Flirtation of Fate (See Wild Embrace Review) But he soon discovers that this ice-cold Psy is very capable of passion – and that the animal in him is fascinated by her. Lucas is determined to find the Psy killer who butchered his packmate, and Sascha is his ticket into their closely guarded society.

After centuries of uneasy coexistence, these two races are now on the verge of war over the brutal murders of several changeling women. To reveal them would be to sentence herself to the horror of “rehabilitation” – the complete psychic erasure of everything she ever was…īoth human and animal, Lucas Hunter is a changeling hungry for the very sensations the Psy disdain. In a world that denies emotions, where the ruling Psy punish any sign of desire, Sascha Duncan must conceal the feelings that brand her as flawed.
