I really enjoyed this book. I'll admit that I've loved this whole series, some books much more than others. While, this entry isn't my favorite (Caressed by Ice wins that one), it definitely is not on the bottom of the list either. I think Hawke's book is one that she has been waiting to write for a long time, and it showed. My gripe with this book is that it tried to do too much. Hawke and Sienna have a compelling story with great sexual tension, but it lost some momentum due to too many subplo ...more

Hawke is the Alpha of the SnowDancer wolf pack and has vowed to stay alone after losing the woman who would have been his mate. Sienna's family was adopted into the pack after abandoning their Psy lives to save her. Hawke is drawn to Sienna but has always managed to resist, until Sienna changes the rules. Sienna isn't a little girl anymore and is prepared to fight for the man she wants, even if she can only keep him for a short while before her Psy powers kill her.

This is the tenth book in the o Hawke is the Alpha of the SnowDancer wolf pack and has vowed to stay alone after losing the woman who would have been his mate. Sienna's family was adopted into the pack after abandoning their Psy lives to save her. Hawke is drawn to Sienna but has always managed to resist, until Sienna changes the rules. Sienna isn't a little girl anymore and is prepared to fight for the man she wants, even if she can only keep him for a short while before her Psy powers kill her.

This is the tenth book in the outstanding Psy-Changeling series and finally lets Hawke and Sienna take center stage. Ever since their introduction in the very first book (Slave to Sensation) there has been tension between the two, and now Sienna is an adult there is finally a chance of a relationship. One thing I would say is that if you are new to the series, start at the beginning. There is a lot of world building and character development in each book and this also reveals some of the endings of the previous novels.

I've liked both Sienna and Hawke since the beginning. Sienna has real spark and an attitude, but she's grown from an outspoken teen into a well-rounded confident woman. Hawke is very protective and responsible with a brooding streak. They are surprisingly well suited, and their romance is cleverly developed allowing them to deal with their issues realistically.

The book is really well paced. Sienna's powers as an X-Psy have never been fully explored in the previous books so the revelations here are amazing and keep the pages turning. I only meant to read a few pages and ended up reading the entire book in one sitting. There is also a bonus storyline that I wasn't expecting in this book. Another pair of characters manage to begin a relationship. I don't want to give away who they are, but the different issues between the couple presented a nice contrast to Hawke and Sienna.

As with all of the previous books, part of the storyline is focused on world development. The pro-Silence Pure Psy have decided that San Francisco presents a dangerous resistance to their cause and hope to destroy it, along with the SnowDancer and DarkRiver packs. Unlike the previous book, the romance between Sienna and Hawke doesn't drown out this storyline rather helps it develop.

All in all this was an incredible read and I can't wait for Riaz and Adria's book Tangle of Need.

Loved, loved, loved it. At first, I struggled with Sienna's youth. I asked myself why - I have no trouble with this kind of age disparity in, for example, HR, but in a modern/futuristic book, something about a 30-sih guy (how old is he? I kept waiting for an exact number, but it never specified) hooking up with a 19 year old girl really just feels skeevy. But the way she's written, Sienna is largely not a 19 year old. She doesn't feel that way. So at some point, my brain just filed the fact away ...more

Things are really hotting up and not just in the Snowdancer pack!

I thoroughly enjoyed this exploration into the developing relationship between Hawke & Sienna. It's took a long time for them to get this far and there are still many more bumps in the road. I enjoy their chemistry and the teasing nature as Hawke fights his deepening feelings.

He is still my favourite of all the Alpha males and that's enforced after this book. For a minute I thought he was going to destroy my faith in him but he pu ...more

4 1/2 stars. Loved Hawke! He can dance with me anytime! And I enjoyed the concurrent story of Lara and Walker. And I absolutely loved the last line of the book. It explained so much. ;)
