Judd Lauren is a renegade Psy who lives among the SnowDancer community. He and his family have broken away from a society that feels all emotion is an abomination and to suppress this will make them the most powerful of all creatures. Judd has learned from an early age to be cold, calculating and deadly. But someone is finally breaking through his defenses and that person is SnowDancer Brenna Shane. Brenna was the only woman to survive from a Psy serial killer. She has gone through the worst kinds of tortures which included the rape of her mind. She feels lonely and scared by the constant nightmares that plague her and the fact that she can no longer transform into her wolf form.

Ever so slowly, Brenna is beginning to feel like a woman again because of attraction she feels for Judd. She tries her hardest to make Judd accept her, including the possibility of making him her mate. But Judd has too many secrets that if he tells Brenna, he is sure she will turn away in fear. Judd was taught to be a killer and any emotion he allows, may kill him. As Judd and Brenna try to do their best with their shaky relationship, there is a killer in their midst who must get rid of Brenna. Will Judd be able to protect Brenna, and will these two be able to experience love even though it could possibly destroy them both?

CARESSED BY ICE is the third installment in this on-going Psy series. Fans of the first two books will enjoy Judd and Brenna's love story, including the other characters, old and new who adds and enriches the story. Because Judd is so repressed inside and out, it takes sometime for him and Brenna to truly come together. Both of these characters are damaged emotionally in their own way, but when they figure out how to make their relationship work and act on their passions for each other, the story really picks up. Nalini Singh's skill in writing this new world has is an incredible feat. I have been a fan of hers from the beginning and with this latest story, she has secured my loyalty yet again. I would not recommend readers to read CARESSED BY ICE first since it is not a stand alone book since it is the third with SLAVE TO SENSATION being the first and then VISIONS OF HEAT being the second. CARESSED BY ICE is such a book that is sexy, well written and the ultimate in sci-fi/romance storytelling.
