Finally we get the long awaited story of Dorian Christensen, the Dark River Leopard, whose only flaw is that he can’t shift to a cat. Due to the inner conflict after his sister’s violent murder, everyone is worried about him. He despises the Psy, but when Ashaya arranges a pact with the Changeling leaders to rescue her son Keenan, it becomes his job to do the rescue. What neither Ashaya nor Dorian planned on where the feelings that develop between them. Will they save each other from the dark side of life?
Every time you think the series can’t get any better Ms. Singh surprises you with a new book and a new twist in the series. HOSTAGE TO PLEASURE is a major turning point in the series, because the Psy culture is nearing its breakdown. The former ruling society is now facing an even bigger enemy and they have to join forces with their former enemies, the Changeling. The story is something that will stay with you for a long time, even when you have already closed the book after finishing it.
Both Dorian and Ashaya are tortured souls, who are going through their personal hells. Dorian, the Dark River’s sniper is on the verge of becoming a renegade, because he can’t get over his sister’s death. Whereas Ashaya is suffering because her son is being held hostage to insure her good behavior. It’s wonderful to see how these two wounded souls find each other. Their relationship is very emotional and steamy. A pure pleasure to read.
Although HOSTAGE TO PLEASURE can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend you read the other books of the series prior tp reading this one, even if only for reading pleasure, but you will also understand the whole world-building and relation between the species more easily.
Ms. Singh has written another keeper with HOSTAGE TO PLEASURE, which I can highly recommend.
