This one is a bit more action packed and starts delving into one of the more intense plot lines.

Ashaya Aleine, has been separated from her son, and as a Psy, she is emotionless atleast to the Psy, but she has a great love for her son. So now because of that, she is forced to create something for the Psy that mean enslavement for her people. Then she manages to contact DarkRiver and they manage to get her son out and safe and integrated into their web. Now Ashaya has managed to hide herself from the other Psy, except for her twin sister, where Ashaya is met up with Dorian Christensen, a sentinel for DarkRiver. Dorian, a sentinel for DarkRiver, is out for revenge for the Psy, after his sister is brutally killed. But then he meets with Ashaya and knows that she is very different from the other, and there is a heated desire that is firing up between them that he can't deny, and realizes that she is his mate. Ashaya is overwhelmed with all the emotions that she is starting to feel, especially for Dorian whom at first she viewed as a enemy, but now is the one man that she knows she can't resist and doesn't want to let go of, but there is a danger that is rising that will put them all in danger. Hostage To Pleasure is the sixth installment to the Psy-Changeling Series. I have just loved reading this series, I have always loved shifter series, but this one is one of my favorites to read. I found Hostage to Pleasure to be a sensational read, with such delightful characters. Ashaya, is a twin, but her sister is in a way demented, but has not much Psy power, but Ashaya is the only one out of the two that has broken "Silence". Even though her sister is her son's biological mother, Ashaya is his mother in every true way that matters. Ashaya is willing to do everything she can to protect her son, no matter the cost. Dorian, even though he is bitter at the beginning toward Ashaya, his manner toward Ashaya we see soften, where he starts the process of healing. Dorian even though he is part of DarkRiver, he has never been able to fully shift into animal form, he is one of the strongest of DarkRiver. As I was reading this one, I found myself taken on a ride of sizzling passion, alluring characters with a witty exchange, and a plot that will have you grabbing the hold of your seat to hold onto this mesmerizing installment to the Psy-Changeling series, that will leave you eager for the next installment in the series!

4 stars - loved it

dorian and ashaya are my fav couple until now! ugh i love them so much 🗣

Did not enjoy the dynamics of this couple's "mating dance". Yes, all the changeling males are a bit Alpha which is not what I want. But this was more than usual. It was a lot of angst and anger and I was not enjoying that. Fortunately, so much larger world plot was happening and that was very intriguing. Things keep developing and pieces are moving. I was propelled through the book.

Hard read So if you haven't read any of the books then you won't know anything you have to read in order and this is one of the more slower books of the series but you have to read otherwise your gonna miss things it's just that simple. This time around reading this I realise that there was a little cameo appearance of a character is season 2 as the author calls it. Silver Merchant and I am slowly putting the pieces together it's only taken me mmmmmm a few years to get there putting it down to having one of those moments. Once you pick up one of Nalini Singh's books your going to be a fan trust me...
