Hostage to Pleasure is book 5 in the Psy-Changeling series by Nalini Singh. My lowest rated Pys-Changeling book is Mine to Possess because I wasn't really feeling either main character. Hostage to Pleasure was totally different than Mine to Possess for me. I really enjoyed Hostage to Pleasure.
I loved Ashia and I loved Dorian and I especially lovedtheir son! I enjoyed the story, the pacing, and the love scenes. Actually, I wish there were more love scenes. I enjoyed the ending even though I do have an issue with it. My issue is that Dorian can't shift and that's considered a sort of disability. By "curing" or "fixing" him at the end you she just wrote the disabled trope, where the disabled person or peoples ends up being "fixed" by the end.
One thing that irritated me is that the main female character, her sister, and her son are all supposed to be Black but the cover art on the audiobook has Dorian huggin up on a white woman. Shame on the company for doing that, I thought things like that were finished with in the 90s.
All in all I really loved this story.
I'm going to give it 5 stars out of 5
