Whisper of Sin by Nalini Singh

4.0

#0.5 Beat of Temptation: ★★★★☆ | 4 stars
#0.75 Whisper of Sin: ★★★★☆ | 4 stars

This was sweet short story about Ria (Lucas's administrative assistant) and how she met her mate Emmett (a DarkRiver soldier).

Three Thoughts:
1. Emmett is possessive and swoony. Exactly what you'd expect from a leopard changeling. But, I also loved how Ria refused to stand down. She gave as good as she got.
2. Ria's grandmother is absolutely the star of the show. And, her dropping that bomb in the middle of dinner is giving main character energy.
3. Loved all the cameos from our favorite DarkRiver changelings.

Though this story takes place 7 years before Slave to Sensation, I would recommend reading it after it - or even after Visions of Heat (Book 2). While the story can stand on its own, I think it's more easily understand when you already have a framework for how the world works - especially with regards to interactions between Changelings and Psy.
