Book Cover

Though DarkRiver sentinel Mercy is feeling the pressure to mate, she savagely resists when Riley Kincaid, a lieutenant from the SnowDancer pack, tries to possess her. The problem is not simply that he pushes her buttons; the problem is that he’s a wolf, she’s a cat, and they’re both used to being on top.

But when a brilliant changeling researcher is kidnapped from DarkRiver territory, Mercy and Riley must work together to track the young man—before his shadowy captors decide he’s no longer useful. Along the way, the two dominants may find that submitting to one another uncovers not just a deadly conspiracy, but a passion so raw that it’ll leave them both branded by fire…


Holly and I have been lucky enough to get review copies of this book. I wasn’t really a fan of Riley in Caressed by Ice. He turned out to be totally different than I expected.

If there’s a downside to getting review copies, is that now we are already done w/ it and have to wait until Blaze of Memory is out. Even knowing that, I’m really excited about the upcoming release of Branded by Fire. I can’t wait to do my re-read. Whenever a new book in this series comes out, I read that book and then go back and re-read the whole series.

Are you looking forward to this book? What’s your favorite book in the series so far?

    Can’t wait for this one – just because it is another Psy/Changling book.

    Caressed By Ice *still* gets my vote . . Judd *swoon* !!

  2. I am always very impatient for a new Nalini Singh book to come out! Just like Estella, I can’t pick a favorite either. There’s always something about each one that makes them special.

    You guys have already read it? I am so jealous. The wait is killing me. Are you going to review? If not, just grade it. Was it worth the wait?

    I can’t wait for this to be released! I only just started reading this series a few months ago so I was fortunate to read the books continuously…and I can’t pick a favorite — I enjoyed all of them equally!

  5. Dance Chica, I want more Psy heroes, too. They are so fascinating.

    Maered, anything Nalini writes is worth the wait to me, so my answer would be a little biased. I’m either going to give it a 4.25 or 4.5. I’m going to re-read it before I decide.

  6. You both got review copies??? Lucky you!! *jealous* I entered Nalini’s ARC contest but with the number of entrants I think my chances are rather low. I wasn’t especially looking forward to this book…until I read the excerpt. OMG!! Scorching. Now I can’t wait. I’m also really curious to see if we learn about Devraj’s heroine in Branded by Fire.

    My favorite book in the series… Umm, very hard to say. It’s pretty much a tie between Slave to Senation, Visions of Heat and Mine to pOssess.

  7. I love this series too. It’s definitely my favorite series right now. My favorite book so far is also Caressed by Ice. Judd is such a hottie. *g*

    Casee, I think I need to re-read the whole series before this book comes out to refresh my memory.

  8. I am sooooo looking forward to the new book. I love her psy/changling series.

    My favourite is which ever book I happen to be rereading whilst waiting for Branded By Fire 😀

  9. *jealous*

    I’m going to re-read it before I decide.*EXTREMELY jealous*

    *SIGH* I love this series, and can’t wait to read this book. My favourites? Slave to Sensation and Mine to Possess…although Caressed by Ice comes a close third 🙂

    Only two and a bit months to go….

  10. You have review copies! *gasp* Lucky you! My fave has to be Sts(though Branded by Fire might replace that position.)Only 3 months left…

    I wasn’t really a fan of Riley in Caressed by Ice. He turned out to be totally different than I expected.

    Needless to say, can I ask how he’s totally different then in CbI? *Only July 7, Tina, only July 7…*
