I have a confession to make. I wasn’t going to read this book. If anything, I thought I’d skim through it for any relevant Hawke/Sienna tidbits. But I couldn’t resist it when I was at the bookstore last weekend. And I’m glad I didn’t. Play of Passion is a return to the things that I loved about the earlier books in the Psy-Changeling series. I loved the first six books, but my interest flamed out around Blaze of Memory. Without a changeling as a protagonist, the books seemed flat. I felt so blah about Dev and Katya’s story that I didn’t bother with Max and Sophia’s (Bonds of Justice).
As I said, though, Play of Passion was a pleasant surprise. There were a number of reasons that I show more was hesitant to read this book, beginning with yet another of my personal quibbles. I’m not so much a fan of younger heroes. By younger, I mean younger than the heroine. I like the heroes to be older or the same age. I know it’s lame. It’s stupid and shallow–but I can’t change my feelings. Or, at least, I haven’t been able to to yet. I was also hesitant about the idea of a heroine who was more alpha than the hero–though for those you who’ve read Play of Passion through to the end, you know that I needn’t have worried. I like strong female characters and I like alpha heroes. I think I may have mentioned that once or twice. But I want the hero to be a smidge alpha-ier than the heroine. I just do. Just a teeny, tiny bit. Likethismuch.
Of course, I should have known that Nalini Singh was just the author to pull it off. I should have known because one of my absolute favorite novels in the Psy-Changeling series is Riley and Mercy’s story (Branded by Fire). And, by the way, I loved catching up with them a little bit in PoP. Actually, I loved catching up with all the changeling characters. Mm, especially Hawke. I guess I missed the changelings more than I even realized.
Play of Passion is Indigo and Drew’s story. Both are SnowDancer wolves. Indigo is a lieutenant–a right hand woman to Hawke, the alpha. Drew, brother to Riley and Brenna, is a sort of spy/liaison. His role in the pack is unclear–he’s largely outside the pack hierarchy. However, Indigo is both older and has been given a clear position. She’s a dominant female. In fact, she’s more dominant than her own father, which must make for some interesting family dynamics.
Singh begins PoP with her usual flare. Indigo and Drew have known each other a long time. Indigo trained Drew before he was assigned to his current position. It’s Drew who makes the first move–and it’s quite a move. His feelings for Indigo are never unclear. He’s had romantic feelings for her for quite some time. It’s Indigo who is caught off guard. Her reaction is a mix of lust, irritation and disbelief. She is also miffed at Drew for risking a long time friendship for the sake of a quick tumble. What Indigo doesn’t realize is that Drew’s intentions are serious. The seriousest. Drew is definitely the pursuer here. It takes a lot for Indigo to feel comfortable with the idea of Drew as a lover–for the same reasons I resisted this book. Indigo has first-hand knowledge of the danger of being with a male who is less alpha than the female. And it isn’t pretty. Also, Drew doesn’t fit in with Indigo’s idea of what kind of mate she’d end up with. Lucky for us, she figures out how wrong she was before it’s too late.
I liked that Singh didn’t shy away from the issues of dominance and age. She faced them head-on and it was a tactic that worked particularly well for this uncertain reader. I also found myself enjoying both Indigo and Drew as individual characters. I sometimes have a hard time with heroines who are supposed to be “dominant.” I see them as domineering, which is altogether different. But Indigo isn’t domineering. She’s powerful in her own right, she knows who she is and what she’s capable of, but none of that self-confidence translates into a person I wouldn’t like to know. Except, of course, that she’s about eight inches taller than me. And fictional.
The most fun I had with this book was, as I mentioned above, catching up the other changelings. We get to see Mercy and Riley, and plenty to SnowDancers. There are even a few new characters that have plenty of promise as heroes and heroines in their own books. I speculate that Riaz and Evie will have their own books–or book maybe? The best part, though, was that Play of Passion put to rest all of my concerns that anyone except Sienna would be Hawke’s heroine. They are both tortured and they have plenty of scenes together that qualify for Olympic grade sexual tension. I’m swooning already. I don’t think I can wait until May 31. I might have to go on a night raid in New Zealand.
Whether you are a general fan of the Psy-Changeling books, or, like me, you’re salivating in anticipation of the release of Kiss of Snow (you can preorder your copy already), Play of Passion is a delightful, enjoyable read. I highly recommend it. show less

Play of Passion is the ninth full-length novel in Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling series. This one follows SnowDancer wolves Indigo and Drew. Indigo is a dominant female and a pack lieutenant, while Drew is the pack’s tracker. Drew has been crazy about Indigo for a while, but she’s been trying to keep their relationship friends-only. She worries that getting involved with a male who is both younger and less dominant could lead to disaster. But tired of waiting for her to come around, Drew pulls out all the stops to prove to Indigo that she’s the only wolf for him. Meanwhile, the threat from Pure Psy, the Psy faction that’s determined to maintain Silence no matter the cost, is rising, and Indigo and Drew discover evidence of a show more Psy incursion onto SnowDancer land. With the help of their alpha, Hawke, and the rest of the pack, they must figure out what the Psy’s new game is and stop it before serious damage is done, but a climactic battle with the Psy could put Indigo and Drew’s relationship in jeopardy before she’s even had a chance to decide whether Drew is her perfect mate after all.
Indigo is the most dominant female in the SnowDancer den, and as a lieutenant, she’s one of Hawke’s right-hand people. The other wolves look to her for leadership, and cognizant of her role in the pack, she doesn’t allow skin privileges easily. She hasn’t had a lover for a while, so Drew’s flirtations are tempting. But she’s also keenly aware of the fact that Drew is four years her junior, and although as tracker, he’s not in her direct line of command, he’s a less dominant male. Indigo has spent the last several years watching her aunt, who is equally as dominant as Indigo, in an unhappy union with her mate who is less dominant. There’s a constant push and pull between them that has soured any love they once shared, so Indigo believes that in order to maintain the health of the pack, she must mate someone who is her equal in the pack hierarchy. However, she didn’t count on Drew pulling out all the stops to romance her and to prove that he’s willing to do anything to be with her, even reign in his own wolf. Indigo is a female who isn’t unlike human women who find themselves in powerful positions in a male-dominated world. She’s respected by the male members of the pack, but at the same time, she places a lot of responsibility on her own shoulders for making sure the pack is a healthy, functioning group. She knows that if she’s unhappy in her mating that could lead to disunity in the pack. While Drew is hard to resist, they do butt heads on occasion as they and their wolves try to figure out if they can fit together in harmony. Occasionally I felt just a tad frustrated with Indigo for being so stubborn, but I generally understood where she was coming from and the feeling usually didn’t last long before she was finding a way to compromise. I also very much respected the fact that she was willing to make concessions in order to find true love and happiness.
As the pack’s tracker, Drew hunts down Changelings who’ve gone rogue and also deals with some pack business outside their immediate area. As such, he reports directly to Hawke, so there isn’t a conflict of interest with him getting involved with Indigo. Drew is also a real charmer who is popular with the ladies, both human and Changeling. But for a long time, he’s only had eyes for Indigo. Drew may not be dominant enough to maintain a higher position in the pack hierarchy, but he’s still a dominant male who finally decides to go after what he wants. Convincing Indigo that he’s sincere about a serious relationship proves to be a major challenge, but one that he’s more than up for. He screws up on occasion, making the female wolf snarl at him for his audacity, but he always more than makes up for it with a full-on romantic and sensual assault. However, just as he’s starting to make headway and thinks that Indigo might finally be his, Pure Psy invades their territory, threatening not only the pack but also his and Indigo’s future. Oh my goodness, I think Drew might be my favorite hero of the series so far. He may have a dominant side, but he’s also a real sweetheart, who totally wears his heart on his sleeve for Indigo. I love a hero in pursuit and Drew definitely pulls out all the stops in his pursuit of Indigo, holding nothing back. His courtship of her is swoon-worthy romance at its finest. Even though he knows he could be risking a broken heart if both the woman and the wolf don’t accept him, he’s also convinced that it will all be worth it. And he’s determined not to give up until he’s won them both over. It also doesn’t hurt that he’s an incredibly romantic guy and a passionate lover.;-)
As is typical for this long-running series, Play of Passion has a stellar supporting cast with lots of characters past and future who have their own stories in the series. Pack alpha Hawke is the most prominent, and it’s obvious that although he’s fighting it, he’s still carrying a torch for Sienna, one of the Psy they adopted into their pack and a young woman who definitely has a thing for him, too. These two finally become the hero and heroine of the next full-length book, Kiss of Snow. Drew’s sister, Brenna, and her mate, Judd, (Caressed by Ice) are key players as well. Drew’s brother, Riley, and his mate, Mercy, (Branded by Fire) are away on a sort of honeymoon, but show up near the end of the story. Pack healer Lara’s skills are put to the test, saving someone’s life. She and Walker, who appears briefly, become the hero and heroine of the novella, Texture of Intimacy. DarkRiver alpha Lucas and his mate, Sascha, (Slave to Sensation) show up at the end, too. Dorian (Hostage to Pleasure) puts in an appearance, helping with tech issues. Emmett and Ria (Whisper of Sin) share a scene with Drew and Indigo. Max and Sophia (Bonds of Justice) appear a couple of times, still working for Nikita. Lastly, Dev (Blaze of Memory) plays a small but important role while also trying to forge an alliance of sorts with SnowDancer.
Play of Passion was an awesome read, a great addition to the series, and perhaps my favorite so far. Indigo is a strong female whose love and sense of responsibility to her pack is admirable. She may have her doubts about Drew but bravely gives him a chance, gradually opening up and tearing down her walls for him. Drew would be impossible not to love. He’s definitely one of the most romantic and passionate heroes I’ve ever read and totally lovable. I adored Drew and Indigo together as a couple and thought they complimented each other perfectly, while finding ways to compromise to make their relationship work. It certainly didn’t hurt that there were plenty of smokin’ hot love scenes, too.;-) With Pure Psy ramping up their efforts, the events of this book were also a nice addition to the greater story arc. By the end, it becomes very clear that the Psy Council has completely and irrevocably fractured. Things are definitely heating up, inexorably heading toward a probable climactic battle, and I can’t wait to see where things go from here. It’s left me very much looking forward to reading Hawke and Sienna’s story soon. show less

These books are my new guilty pleasure - although I am reading them almost out of order. The books simmer with sexual tension, but have a deeper, gripping plot involving the political wranglings of the psy vs changelings. I enjoyed this one because both the characters - Andrew and Indigo, are wolf changelings, and both have some quite wolvish tendencies. As the more dominant in the pack hierachy, Indigo has to come to terms with her attraction to a lower ranking male, whereas as a younger male just rising in his power, Andrew must stop himself from posturing and asserting his dominance if their relationship is to work. Andrew is playful and cheeky and utterly charming. Meanwhile, the psy are making a move on changeling territory with a show more plot to take out the alphas. Appealing, engrossing and rather sexy. show less
3.5 stars
I found the first half of this story boring. I had trouble getting into the plot and I wasn't convinced of Indigo and Drew as a couple. I liked them well enough individually, but I didn't think they meshed well. He seemed the goofy, all-around joker and she was so tightly wound. There were plausible reasons given for their personalities, but I still didn't think they were right for each other.
The plot involving the Counsel wasn't engaging this time around and I wish something would happen with them already. I'm getting a little tired of the mystery of the Ghost as well. Things started to pick up toward the end, but I don't think this was the best story in the series. I am looking forward to Sienna and Hawke's story.

Normaly the Psy/Changling books are just place holders I blow through while waiting for Nalini's next Angel book to come out. Indigo and Andrew, however, may be my favorite pairing yet. I enjoyed their chemistry and conflict, and the hints of Hawke and Sienna to come were icing on the cake.
Drew and Indigo's book. It took me forever to finish reading this one. Not because it was boring, it just wasn't Singh's most thrilling addition to the series. In the beginning of this book, Drew has decided to romantically pursue Indigo. Indigo, being one of the only female lieutenants, is leery of starting a romantic relationship with anyone. Let alone someone lower on command chain than her. Drew persists. Indigo slowly goes crazy because Drew is a charming bastard who doesn't give up. Small bits of drama happen. And that's about it.
Like I said, I love Drew and Indigo, but without any real development in the Psy/changling war happening I felt like this book dragged a little. Yes, there is a small side plot about the Psy spying on show more them, but it wasn't given very much page time. I also found myself getting really annoyed with the alpha dynamics happening in the story. I hate that Singh seems to be implying that the only way for a relationship to work between a man and a woman is if the man is more dominant than the woman. She even attempts to drive this point home by showing a failed relationship between two characters where the woman is more dominant than the male. The woman is miserable and still in love with the male who's a big asshole because he can't stand that she's more dominant. That's some stupid crap. To her credit though, Singh usually makes it a point to show/state how the characters at the center of her novels are equals. I just really didn't like how the story seemed to go out of its way to state that a relationship where the woman was more "dominant" is doomed. show less

I really enjoyed these two characters together. Indigo and Drew are both dominant and the story of them making their relationship work despite that made sense.
I noticed the gender essentialism a bit less in this one, how the women are all "feminine characteristic" "purely female" and the men the same but "masculine strength" and "male characteristic", even though the attributes they describe are not necessarily confined to one or the other gender.
