As the third book in the series, I approached this book with both excitement and trepidation. Excitement since I was dying to have a Psy male lead and Judd proved to be intriguing enough in the previous books. Matching Judd up with Brenna, who survived a traumatic incident albeit scarred, interested me enough to keep on reading. And once again, Ms Singh did not disappoint. Here we have a beautiful story of two people trying to move forward. Both are haunted by incidents in their past and both care so much for the other that they would fight their very nature to ensure that the other remained safe. Add in brilliant worldbuilding and you've got yourself a keeper. Kudos Ms Singh! This is a pretty good sensual paranormal. Very creative world of Psy's, Changelings and Humans. I liked that the heroine Brenna was so volatile while the hero Judd was like ice. It takes a very talented author to make two such different characters connect without it feeling fake. I read the ebook version of this paranormal romance. First of all, I liked Brenna, she is both broken and strong. She's tougher then the last two heroines. I also liked Judd though at times I wanted to throttle him, I wanted him to show more emotion (although I get that as psy he couldn't). Overall, this is a very satisfying read. But I wanted more about the world its based in. eBook review
Genre: Paranormal Romance
“Caressed by Ice” is the third book in Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changelings series and my favorite so far. It is the story of Brenna Kincaid, a SnowDancer wolf who has been tortured by a Psy psychopath, and Judd Lauren, a former Psy Arrow (a highly trained assassin). I really loved the interaction (and the chemistry – sizzling!!) between those two. Brenna has been deeply damaged by her torture at the hands of the Psy and when corpses start showing up in the SnowDancer den and she seems to be getting impressions from the killer’s mind, Brenna fears she may be on the verge of her mind irrevocably breaking. And Judd is the only person she can turn to for help. She feels drawn to him on the deepest level, but Judd can’t give in to the connection he feels to Brenna. He knows that Silence is at the core of the control and detachment he needs to maintain at all times in order to keep his deadly abilities leashed.
Even though “Caressed by Ice” can be read as a stand-alone, I recommend reading the first two books in the series first – they’re terrific reads and you get to know (and understand) all the characters much better. The first book in the series is titled “Slave to Sensation”, the second “Visions of Heat”. I discovered this author with the intriguing Slave to Sensation. The storyline drew me and after I read it, I was hooked and this installment shows me I did not make a mistake. This is the third in the series and it chronicles the tale of Brenna and Judd. Oh my, my, the chemistry in this tale was burning the pages. Judd is icy in his control in every situation except when he is near Brenna. Brenna draws his emotion out as skillfully as a violinist drawing notes. I loved the fact that Judd was so icy to everyone except Brenna, who had been tortured in the worst way by the Psy but she still felt love for Judd when she could have been resentful of his presence because he was Psy. I love this story and the way Nalini Singh writes is nothing short of amazing. I cried, I laughed, and when I finished the story, I sighed with happiness. Brenna is a strong female wolf and a good partner to the strong, silent Arrow that is Judd. I loved it and recommend it to everyone!!! Wow, Nalini Singh has written an awesome story! I discovered her by accident while wandering through the online bookstore. I immediately had to buy her first two books in paperback - they're not in ebook format. She's definitely a wonderful author! I also discovered Nalini Singh by accident, had to buy the first 2 books--& am now hopelessly addicted!
Interestingly, the main characters, Judd & Brenna, are both introduced in the first book (Slave to Sensation), Brenna as a wolf Changeling victim of a Psy sociopath and Judd as a Psy who helps rescue her. In Caressed by Ice both emerge as fascinating,complex people chemistry is outstanding alterate future world is fascinating, plot is interesting--although this can be read as a stand alone, definately builds on the previous two novels (& continues to build in subsequent). Highly recommend all five published so far can't wait for book six! As an Arrow, an elite soldier in the Psy Council ranks, Judd Lauren was forced to do terrible things in the name of his people. Now a defector, his dark abilities have made him the most deadly of assassins - cold, pitiless, unfeeling. Until he meets Brenna . . .
