Clay Bennett is a powerful DarkRiver sentinel, but he grew up in the slums with his human mother, never knowing his changeling father. As a young boy without the bonds of Pack, he tried to stifle his animal nature. He failed...and committed the most extreme act of violence, killing a man and losing his best friend, Talin, in the bloody aftermath. Everything good in him died the day he was told that she, too, was dead.
Talin McKade barely survived a childhood drenched in bloodshed and terror. Now a new nightmare is stalking her life--the street children she works to protect are disappearing and turning up dead. Determined to keep them safe, she unlocks the darkest secret in her heart and returns to ask the help of the strongest man she knows...
Clay lost Talin once. He will not let her go again, his hunger to possess her, a clawing need born of the leopard within. As they race to save the innocent, Clay and Talin must face the violent truths of their past...or lose everything that ever mattered.
From Goodreads:
Separated from her son and forced to create a neural implant that will mean the effective enslavement of her psychically gifted race, Ashaya Aleine is the perfect Psy--cool, calm, emotionless...at least on the surface. Inside, she's fighting a desperate battle to save her son and escape the vicious cold of the PsyNet. Yet when escape comes, it leads not to safety, but to the lethal danger of a sniper's embrace.
DarkRiver sniper Dorian Christensen lost his sister to a Psy killer. Though he lacks the changeling ability to shift into animal form, his leopard lives within. And that leopard's rage at the brutal loss is a clawing darkness that hungers for vengeance. Falling for a Psy has never been on Dorian's agenda. But charged with protecting Ashaya and her son, he discovers that passion has a way of changing the rules...
My first review of Mine to Possess, Hostage to Pleasure
My Review:
I really enjoyed reading these books again! Both Talin and Clay, Ashaya and Dorian are great couples, and their romances were really awesome to read! Plus there was world developments, like the Forgotten, and the Human Alliance. Oh, and Pure Psy.
Reading these two back to back was pretty great, because they had pretty linked plots, with the kids and the various projects that the Psy council wanted them to do. Well, plus Jude blowing up the one lab in Caressed in Ice. They went together really well!
The fact that Talin and Clay had history together, they kinda have the longest relationship. True, that they did spend 20 years apart. I loved their banter, the typically kinda mean descriptors that they had for each other!
I'd forgotten a lot about Hostage to Pleasure. Like the fact that her son was technically her nephew. Or that Henry Scott and that side plot. So it was really great to read it again. I did remember things like the Human Alliance attacking, and that Ashaya used her abilities so that Dorian could shift!
Loved reading these books again, they were so great, and I can't wait to reread more!
