Romance Paranormal | Romance Anthology

Together for the first time, Nalini Singh presents four novella stories from her Psy-Changeling series!

BEAT OF TEMPTATION is the story of Tammy and Nate. Both have been characters seen throughout the series and are an integral part of the Pack, but they were always on the peripheral. Tammy is just 19 years old while Nate is 29. The large age different plays a part in their relationship because Nate wants to make sure that Tammy gets the freedom she deserves. As the healer of the Pack, she has a lot of responsibilities for such a young age and Nate doesn't want her to feel overwhelmed when the mating bond fully kicks in. So he keeps her at a distance that is convenient for him, while Tammy is suffering both physically and emotionally for Nate's soothing touch.

STROKE OF ENTICEMENT is about Annie, a shy human teacher and a super sexy changeling named Zach. Most of the magical romance happens within the first 48 hours of meeting each other. But Singh does fast track a month after to see the dynamics of relationship. The fast-forward is significant because Annie has a problem with commitment. She's afraid to fall completely for the dangerous and alluring changeling because she fears that Zach's passion for her will fade. But the cat in Zach isn't about to give up.

In DECLARATION OF COURTSHIP, readers meet Grace, a submissive wolf. When a high ranking, smolderingly hot SnowDancer lieutenant decides that he is going to court her, nobody is more surprised than Grace.Cooper, the dark, dominant wolf must learn how to handle Grace's surrender. As they dance, Grace begins to show some teeth and despite Cooper's natural tendency to dominant, both of them manage to find a middle ground that fits both their personalities. I love the way Singh is able to bring two opposites together without having them compromise something in order to be a unit. A DECLARATION OF COURTSHIP is sizzling with sexual tension and one of the most tender stories I've ever read from Nalini Singh.

TEXTURE OF INTIMACY is another new never-before-seen novella that continues Lara and Walker's story from KISS OF SNOW. I loved that Singh further explores their relationship. Readers see how the happily mated couple are doing and further advancements in the overall plot of the book. I highly suggest reading this book before the next soon-to-be released title because there is some focus on Alice again.Singh also gives insights to possibly future pairing such as Tai and Evie.

Sweet and tender, Singh never fails to impress me with her writing. The sexual tension is so thick, it can't be cut through with a knife and it proves just how talented Singh is with her words. True talent lies in the world building where every story submerges you into a new world. Not to mention the most lovable, memorable characters. With WILD INVITATION, Singh cements herself as one the genre's best authors!
