Beat of Temptation-2.5 stars 
 I liked Tamsyn and was curious about her story when I read Slave to Sensations. But this novella was kinda tame and underwhelming overall. I still have no idea what Nate even looks like which bugged me, and the fact that we didn't even get a sex scene anywhere in those 80 pages I found really lame. 
 Like...come on. Seriously? All these two did was moan and argue over not having sex and not completing the bond so yeah.....I was expecting something with all that damn build up and dragged out sexual tension. The least the author could have done was include a sex scene and not a lame FTB. 
 And what exactly does the cat in his voice mean?? It's used everywhere in this and I found it inadequate. There has got to be another more descriptive way to show your readers this guy is a panther changeling. Cause saying 'the cat was in his eyes' or 'the cat was in his voice' is a little weird and doesn't really say much. 
 Stroke of Enticement- 4 stars 
 Oh man. Zack Quinn is super sexy. Why didn't this guy get a full book?! I thought him and human teacher Annie were really sweet and refreshing. The sexual tension and chemistry was definitely there. Only hiccup for me were the strange typos and phrasing of certain things... 
 He squeezed her even as a wave of love flavored with the primal fury of the cat came down the bond between them. 
 Huh?? The writing overall is just weird to me. It's so chunky and doesn't flow right. And serious question: How do human/changeling pairings work? Changelings age at a slower rate and live longer (cat/dog years) no? Soooo how does that work when they are mated to a human? There is no mention of the age problem here except them growing old to be 100. 
 Declaration of Courtship-5 stars 
 Can Nalini do a full book with h/hr that are wolf changelings? Please? This worked so much better for me than Psy/Panther or Panther/Panther couples. I found the whole courtship and mating dance culture in the SnowDance pack so interesting and charming. And shy submissive Grace being courted by intense dominant sentinal wolf Cooper was really fun to read about. Grace and her submissive wolf and how she soothes a dominant wolf just leapt off the page and made sense. Everything she is feeling and thinking is so precise and parallel to what a submissive wolf would react and do based on their instinctive nature. Nalini really excelled here with the translation from wolf to human side. 
 Texture of Intimacy-2 stars 
 What exactly was the point of this? I found this one really difficult to follow. And I'm not sure it was entirely because I haven't read book 10 yet. I've only read Book 1 from this series and I've had no trouble following along with the other 3 stories no matter where they fall on the timeline. This one though was very sloppy. And so uninteresting. The same problem I pretty much had with Book 1--the Psy factor. I'm sorry but it just doesn't work for me and I don't know how or if I'm gonna sit through Hawke's book if it's just 300 pages of summarization. There is literally NOTHING interesting in explaining the same things over and over again. And I feel Singh struggles to get her point across when it comes to her Psy characters. She gets hung up on explaining things 10 different ways, when it's same thing and not new information. It makes the reading experience lag so much. 
 Overall: Enjoyable and a really great mix of couples. This is more a general critique, I think Nalini has interesting ideas but I think her writing tends to lean towards the sloppy side. And it shows even more so when dealing with characters that communicate telepathically. Since both are italicized, there are literally no cues or distinction between what is being 'spoken' in present time and what is just a flashback. And there are several flashbacks in Texture of Intimacy. Everything just blurs together. The overall world building and descriptive imagery could be better. The world building especially could be better. A man standing beside a wolf who shifts into human form and is described as kneeling before him and cupping his face makes no sense. Even the stories I really enjoyed the number of times I kept catching myself having to re-read a passage or a sentence because it made no sense or didn't read right was countless and it slowed things down a little. The over-wordy run on sentences and fragment lines threw me off and I find that frustrating. I know I'm being picky but when it takes you out of a moment and so constantly? then it is a problem.
