^^ VISIONS OF VAUGHN!^^

If Vaughn was a Tree: I would climb him and make a nest.
A Medium Size Pool: I would do laps all day long.
A Bath Tub: I would soak all day.
If Vaughn was naked, I would be naked too.

I am happy that I enjoyed the second book in the Psy-Changeling series; I was having some doubts after the first one where it took some time to really get into the story. I was in love in love from the moment the very sexy Sentinel named Vaughn mentioned his first words in the book.

I am happy that I enjoyed the second book in the Psy-Changeling series; I was having some doubts after the first one where it took some time to really get into the story. I was in love in love from the moment the very sexy Sentinel named Vaughn mentioned his first words in the book.

Quick rundown, the Psy are a mind race, they feel no emotion and they strive to be perfect or should I say they claim to be perfect. They say cus without feelings there would be no murders, no jealousy and all those other human emotions that causes destruction (Pfffft). The Changelings are shifters, who are all about emotions and getting physical, so lets say these very two races are about to get up close and personal.

Faith Nightstar is the money-maker Psy, her visions are worth millions if not billions and they are milking her dry. She also has been having crazy violent dreams, and feels she is slowly going insane. What the Psy race does to defects is to rehabilitate or casually get rid of them. A little adventure to find a Psy woman who left the race behind leads her into Changeling territory, and the arms of a dangerous sentinel.

Vaughn aka (I am so sexy I will make your panty drop) is an angry and dark soul. He is deadly and stealth like the Jaguar that he is, and he is dangerous. He lives to protect his alpha and his mate that is until his own mate makes an appearance in the form of Faith (frigid) Nightstar. Vaughn will have to fight to get his woman, and convince her he has the stuff to keep her safe.

Well the story pretty much becomes the Faith and Vaughn show, with a murder mystery as the side dish. I am just in love with the Changelings and there touch privileges. Vaughn (sigh) is more animal than man, and that my friends is winner in my book. While reading I was thinking how fast I could lose my clothes if he snuck through my sun roof (really I don’t have a sun roof but am willing to cut a hole in my ceiling). I would go from 0 to 60 in like a second just like a Jaguar (hear me roar/growl).

Nalini is building a pretty intriguing world and I am looking forward to all the other Psy-Changeling adventures. Also excited for the Psy man, because guess what dude you can’t hide feelings when you sporting a boner.

Vaughn seriously gimme my panties back. ...more

Boy things really did heat up! Who knew my prediction would come true right down to the name of the book. (Honestly, had no idea.) Singh takes readers even deeper into her stunningly cold world of the Psy through Faith. Faith is a an F-psy (Foresight), she's the most powerful of her generation.

Unlike Sascha, from the previous book, Faith doesn't have a connection to emotion. As an F-Psy she's been more extensively brainwashed by the Protocol. The depth of her brainwashing and conditioning is ex Boy things really did heat up! Who knew my prediction would come true right down to the name of the book. (Honestly, had no idea.)

Unlike Sascha, from the previous book, Faith doesn't have a connection to emotion. As an F-Psy she's been more extensively brainwashed by the Protocol. The depth of her brainwashing and conditioning is extraordinary. Faith is an amazing character from the beginning. Her powers have evolved and she's been experiencing horrific visions she doesn't understand that they are causing her to fear—though she doesn’t see it as emotion. However, she's not brainwashed enough to go to her own people about it. Especially once she realizes that the visions weren't random or madness, but the death of her sister. In an amazing show of strength she decides to find Sascha and get help.

Vaughn is immediately drawn to her. His jaguar knowing exactly what to do to push her out of her safe bubble and get her past her Silence blocks. It's amazing watching these two develope into their relationship. Vaughn's past is haunting, but not too overly done. After hearing his story I wanted to hold him, instead of laugh at the over tragicness of another PNR bad boy. Faith and Vaughn have such chemistry. The threat of a single touch could send her into seizures.

Readers still get a glimpse into the mind of Lucas, Sascha, and a few other characters. There are few parts that jump in on the Psy Council. It was great seeping into their disturbing thoughts, getting feel for how they think. The whole plot of Faith being haunted and attacked by a Psy serial killer is chilling. Watching as she grows into her gift is amazing, as most F-Psy go crazy. It's haunting that the Silence is the main cause of F-Psy going insane. The best part is the shocking truths about the NetMind.

There's a rebellion coming and seeing it slowly rising in the Psy is so tantalizing! The Psy-Changeling series clearly has an amazing world to grow into! The many facets of Visions of Heat are amazing, even if it echoes strongly of the first book. The emotions, growth, and heat of Faith and Vaughn's love story were tantalizing.

Sexual Content: Considering these books are about finding mates there not as detailed as other Paranormal Romance titles. They’re hot, but Singh relies on the emotions to bring on the heat.

3/5- Adored it, just a few minor details held it back

While I didn't enjoy this book like I did the other one I still found it a great read.

I adored Vaughn and liked him and Faith as a couple. At first I wasn't really feeling Vaughn cause he kept touching Faith even when she told him not to. I get the fact that touch is something special to changlings but if someone ask you to not touch them the least you could do is not touch them. There was times when I thought he was gonna let his cat take over. And I don't like the fact about the whole mating. ...more

It was OK. For some reason, I just could not connect to either of the main characters, and I really just didn't care too much about them - I can honestly say that I don't know why since it had all the makings of a good storyline (and I really liked the first one), but just could not get into it. Plot was OK, but the story was anticlimactic in my opinion…. and at times, it was hard to know who was speaking which totally ripped me out of the story. Not sure if I will read the next book anytime soo ...more

This is a solid four stars for me. I still have a hard time understanding the world of PsyNet. After reading book 2, still couldn’t wrap my head around it. Tho, I got the NetMind just fine. I like this a little more than the first book. Not much more, the plot was similar to the first book, not much to say.

I really like Vaughn and Faith. He, IMO, was more feral and primitive than Lucas). Faith was a never-been-touched-virgin however she, I think, little feistier and more likable than Sascha. Th ...more
