Psy-Changeling fans, especially those who are Hawke obsessed!
Read from June 12 to 14, 2011
5+ stars – Paranormal Romance
WOWZA! The most anticipated installment in the phenomenal Psy-Changeling series definitely delivers the goods and lives up to the hype. It’s an intense, passionate, and emotional epic romance with smoldering sensuality and thrilling action that is pure tribute to Hawke fanatics. It satisfied my super high expectations and then some. I was completely and utterly captivated by every word from beginning to end, and my only complaint is that I didn’t want it to be over. I loved it, loved it, loved it!
Hawke in all his alpha, growly glory is a sexy, magnificent thing to behold. I want to take a big bite out of him, and have him bite me (all over!) in return. YUM! Don’t get me wrong...I love Hawke and Sienna together and think they’re an amazing, unforgettable Romancelandia couple. But I still want to be Hawke’s mate and have his wolf babies. *sighs and swoons* Oh wait, I’m already mated to Lucas. I guess I’ll have tobeg settle for being the center of a wolf/panther sandwich. *naughty girl grin*

Alpha
Wolf
Kiss me for
Eternity!!!!
My favorite quotes:
She came to, to find a very satisfied wolf at her side. He was drawing patterns on the sweat-sheened skin of her navel with his finger. “How was dessert?” she asked, her throat a husky reminder that she’d screamed at the end. A flash of teeth. “I plan to go back for seconds in a bit.” She sucked in a breath. “Bad wolf.” Sliding down his hand, he tugged at her damp curls. “Hungry wolf.” Right then, Sienna knew she was sunk. Absolutely and gloriously.
“You’re in my every breath and every thought, intertwined so deep inside me that love’s not a strong enough word—you have my devotion, your name branded on my soul, my wolf yours to command. A hundred years? It’ll never be enough. I want eternity.”
“You have the power to tear me to pieces, to wound me so deep and true that I’ll never recover.”

Eric Dane is totally Hawke. I am so glad you liked the book. I would say it's my favorite of the series but I also really enjoyed Lucas & Sasha, Drew & Indy and Mercy & Riley.
Well, I'm very glad I read this review because, DUH, I always thought this series, Psy-Changling, was a spin-off of PsyCop. And yes, I knew who each series was written by, but never like... I don't know... put them side by side to see that the authors had different names.Chalk one up for The Queen of the Clueless over here.
Great review, by the way.
WOW! That's the most tags I've ever seen! lol I keep hearing about this book..one day I'll get to the series.

Oh, you definitely should. She's one of my "go-to" reviewers when I'm trying to decide on a book. They're very informative and she always seems to give the right information.
I've never read any of these books, but after reading your review, I WANT TO!!! Love me some Eric Dane btw!!

Not yet, Melissa. I own book 1, and I think I'm going to read it as soon as I have my June challenges out of the way.

Thanks, ladies! I'm glad you all enjoyed the pics! I thought Eric Dane made a very fitting casting choice for Hawke. Scarlett Johansson is younger, but I think Famke Janssen's X-Men look is spot for Sienna, even though she's older.Taryn/Dhes, LOL about the shelves. They're crazy I know, but I'm definitely shelf/tag OCD.
Dhes, Thanks for the kudos! You're such a sweetie! I feel the same way about your reviews! BUT OMG...You haven't read Nalini Singh yet?!?? Yes, you definitely need to...she's amazing! The Psy-Changeling is one of the most unique and consistently great PNR series out there. I think you'll love 'em!
Laura, Same goes for you...I think you'll enjoy this series!
Wonderful review, Shawna! I was looking at this series in the bookstore yesterday b/c I loved Dina's review so much. And the picture are great, if I can say that w/o having read the descriptions of the characters. :)BTW, love the kiss of snow on the wolf's nose! Perfect!
UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "Oh, you definitely should. She's one of my "go-to" reviewers when I'm trying to decide on a book. They're very informative and she always seems to give the right information."I agree. Shawna is to blame for lot of my book purchases :)
I also think that the way she handled Sasha's pregnancy was great. And I really liked the secondary love story.
Thanks, Lisa Kay! It's a fantastic series! Dina's review walked us through memory lane, which I loved. If you enjoyed those glimpses of events, then I think you need to add this series to your TBR, stat!Marisol, I loved how she handled that too. And the secondary romance between Walker and Lara was a beautiful addition to the story.
Yes, it's paranormal/sci-fi romance set in the future. The Psy are humans raised without emotion who have psychic powers (telepathy, telekinesis, foresight, etc) and the Changeling race are shifters (wolves, panther, jaguar, etc.) who embrace emotion.
Eric Dane as Hawke?? I'm loving it....I may have to re-read this with him in mind! But seriously, how can you be mated to Lucas or Hawke when they are both already mated to me???
Zahu, LOL! Those quotes (and HAWKE!) are really popular! I see 33 people added the "You’re in my every breath" to their fave GR quotes already! That was such a sigh-worthy moment!We all want Hawke for ourselves, but I guess we'll have to agree to share him. Besides, I don't think Sienna is ever giving him up!
Megan, I recently watched Burlesque, so Eric Dane was fresh on my mind. I pictured him as I read this and it was....Niiiice! And I forgot, I'm also mated to Judd. I'm greedy, LOL!
Well alright.....I guess I don't care who they're mated to as long as I have SKIN PRIVILEGES!! ;-)You should read it, UM....you won't regret it!
Dhes, I think you're gonna love this series! Let me know when you read them so I can watch for your updates and reviews. :)Megan, Skin privileges are a must! LOL!
Debbie, That's how I was when I discovered this series. I read books 1-6 in a week and then was anxious for the next one!

I read the first 6 books while I was on a 12 day cruise last year.
Just bought the first book to this series!!! Don't know when I'll get to it since I have so many sitting on my shelf (and kindle) waiting to be read. But I am soooo excited!
I had to share this with you. Nalini posted this on her blog:What I haven't shared until now, is that Hawke and Sienna will also have a very strong presence in this book. We're going to see the next step of their relationship, and I think the book will interlink very closely with Kiss of Snow in that sense.
