Play of Passion
Psy-changeling, Book #9

 

Review Brought to you by OBS Staff member Deanne

Summary:
Passion and reason collide with explosive force in this installment of Nalini Singh’s “mesmerizing”* Psy/Changeling series. As a conflict with Pure Psy looms on the horizon, two powerful wolves fight a far more intimate war of their own…
 

In his position as tracker for the SnowDancer pack, it’s up to Drew Kincaid to rein in rogue changelings who have lost control of their animal halves—even if it means killing those who have gone too far. But nothing in his life has prepared him for the battle he must now wage to win the heart of a woman who makes his body ignite…and who threatens to enslave his wolf.

Lieutenant Indigo Riviere doesn’t easily allow skin privileges, especially of the sensual kind—and the last person she expects to find herself craving is the most wickedly playful male in the den. Everything she knows tells her to pull back before the flames burn them both to ash…but she hasn’t counted on Drew’s will.

Now, two of SnowDancer’s most stubborn wolves find themselves playing a hot, sexy game even as lethal danger stalks the very place they call home…

Review:
This is the 9th installment of the PSY/Changling series and it was really good.
This is also the first book that deals mainly with the wolves of Snow Dance versus the cats of Dark River. Drew was endearing, the way he persued Indigo was priceless. He was relentless.

Indigo is tough! She has her mind set on the type of mate that she needs to be with in order for it to be a well balanced relationship. And Drew most definitely does not fit the bill. Their banter was hilarious, they are both very witty. The threat of the Council is still very much there, probably more so in this book. It kept you guessing what they were up to.

I really did like Drew and Indigo together but I have to say it: (and I hate to say it because I love Nalini Singh and this series.)  I did find this book lacking. In the series, I found that the feeling the characters had for each other was almost tangible, but I didn’t feel it for this book. Maybe it’s because I had such high expectations for it, or maybe because it simply was not there.
