Caressed by Ice on Books On Track

If you ignore the biiig words and the over the top love pronouncements this book is a very enjoyable one.

Judd's struggles with Silence were interesting, as was his Conditioning as an Arrow -- a secret Psy assassin.
Brenna's overcoming of her trauma and learning to deal with her new reality and her feelings towards Judd were nothing too original, but the whole story was fun to read about.

I'll say it again, the series may be kind of too much at times but the world ...more

First Read Review:
Caressed By Ice is my favorite book so far in the Psy-Changeling series. I thought Judd was an interesting character in the previous books, although he was a small part in them. It was wonderful to see him have his own story. Especially one so full of ups and downs and fear and love.

Brenna was abducted and has been fighting the over protectiveness of her brothers. She's noticed that she is drawn to Judd, t ...more

It was interesting getting some detail on the inner workings of the Psy world, through Judd. The political machinations of the Psy Council were fascinating. I like that I am still not quite sure where any of them stand. And on that topic, (view spoiler) It was interesting getting some detail on the inner workings of the Psy world, through Judd.

And also, Kaleb... (view spoiler) *fingers crossed*

That said, the story was as engaging as always. Judd and Brenna were fun - I liked them more than I thought I would, as I honestly had no interest in either from their brief mentions in the other books. Judd had a very satisfying arc in this book. Also, the fact that (view spoiler)

But I wish we got more of an update on where things are going with the NetMind - I hope that plot thread isn't disappearing into the ether. And I'd like more Sascha and Lucas... I still find them to be the most compelling pair of the series (is it weird that I am only lukewarm about Faith? I think her "oh, but do I really want to give up my pampered life to be just a regular old Joe-Schmoe?" dilemma was a big turn-off for me).

Still really looking forward to Dorian's story... ...more

Loved Judd, loved Brenna, loved the plot and the politics. I can't wait to read the rest of this series. The remaining books with new covers haven't been released yet and I don't think I can wait. Time to go ebook shopping! ...more

I wasn’t feeling it for this book.
I remember reading the first two books and remember what happened that lead to Brenna being rescued, but I felt like I was missing something between the point when she was rescued and then now they’re buddy-buddy on the verge of being mated. I didn’t connect to Brenna at all. Judd, on the other hand, I totally got. But I think it’s because I’m cold blooded and think I’m a secret ninja.
It took the last 20 chapters for me to really get into it and that was for th ...more

I promised myself I wouldn't read another one. It's a romance. The two main characters are introduced right up front so we know exactly who is going to be banging whom in another 200 pages. But I couldn't help it. I like Nalini Singh and I actually got caught up in the sexual tension, reading, waiting for these two people to bang each other. You'd think by the third book, I would have figured this out and it wouldn't be interesting anymore but mmm I guess not.
I'm actually peeking into the fourt ...more
