Since the moment of her defection from the PsyNet and into the SnowDancer wolf pack, Sienna Lauren has had one weakness: Hawke. Alpha and dangerous, he compels her to madness. Hawke is used to walking alone, having lost the woman who would've been his mate long ago. But Sienna fascinates the primal heart of him, even as he tells himself she is far too young to handle the wild fury of the wolf. Then Sienna changes the rules - and suddenly, there is no more distance, only the most intimate of battles between two people who were never meant to meet.

Yet as they strip away each other's secrets in a storm of raw emotion, they must also ready themselves for a far more vicious fight. A deadly enemy is out to destroy SnowDancer, striking at everything they hold dear, but it is Sienna's darkest secret that may yet savage the pack that is her home---and the alpha who is its heartbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars So very satisfying

First of all, this is not the book with which to begin your love affair with the Psy-Changeling series. Do yourself a favor and start at the beginning. Relish the fact that you won't have to wait years for Hawke's book like the rest of us! If this book didn't move the arc of the story along, with a couple of surprises I never saw coming, I would swear this was a big, fat love letter from Nalini Singh to the fans. This is the book I wanted, hands down.

Very Brief Synopsis - Sienna is all grown up, and the tension between her and Hawke can no longer be ignored. Hawke resists, as Sienna is so young, and he feels he cannot give her all that she deserves. Sienna's power is growing. Meanwhile, our friends from the council, The Scott's, ratchet up their plans for domination of the San Francisco area. Lara and Walker have a nice secondary plotline. We get to spend quality time with members of both packs, especially Sascha and Lucas. The Ghost makes several critical appearances.

Impressions - We spend most of the book with Hawke and Sienna. SO GOOD! The build up toward the inevitable was a long, slow dance. It was sweet, it was sensual, it was playful and it was poignant. They actually developed a relationship before they got physical, which worked perfectly in light of Sienna's age and experience level. And once they finally got physical...!!!!!!!!!!!! HAWT !!!!!!!!! Once Hawke gave in to the idea that he wanted Sienna, he was fiercly dedicated to the cause. We got to know Hawke at a deep level, getting new insight into his personality and what made him the alpha he is. I ate it all up like candy. I always loved Hawke, from his first appearance in the series, his teasing of Lucas by flirtling with Sascha, but now, oh, wow....Hawke the Hero was everythng I wanted him to be. Smart, strong, caring, playful, sexy and determined.

Sienna is not your typical 19 year old. Pulled away from her family at the age of 5, she was Silent by age 9. Cultivated as a weapon by Ming, she has seen and done more than most people ever will, and it shows in her maturity level. Couple that with a Talent that, unleashed, could decimate entire continents, and she has had to learn self control. She has no control over her feelings for Hawke, though, and it hurts her to have him reject her out of hand. When she finally gets him, she's not quite sure what to do with him! LOL! But she is a willing pupil... I have to admit to being a little concerned about Sienna's age, but in light of her life experiences, it worked. Sienna was terrific. She didn't take any of Hawke's alpha posturing, standing up to him time and again. She is the perfect compliment to Hawke, strong and giving. She was willing to sacrifice herself for the good of the pack. I really liked how, when Sienna and Hawke's time together was interrupted due to pressing pack concerns, she immediately went into pack mode. She never made an issue of Hawke's committment to the pack. Instead, she stood beside him to help.

Walker, Sienna's uncle, finds himself drawn to the SnowDancer Pack's healer, Lara. We learn a lot about his background, and their story is so sweet. Walker has hidden depths and plays a crucial role.

There were some laugh out loud moments, such as Matthias stopping Hawke from chasing Sienna, telling Hawke that he is trying to preserve his dignity, and chasing women down corridors is simply not done! And Kit "helping" Sienna make Hawke jealous (Oh, now the wait is on for Kit's story...)

There are too many details that would be spoilers. Suffice it to say, if you are a Hawke fan, you will love this book.

The book really clips along. I read it in one sitting. I laughed, I cried and I cheered. The arc is advanced. You can sense the coming battle, and all of the pieces are being placed. We get more information about Sienna's talent, and there are some real surprises that, in hindsight, make sense. All in all, there was nothing I wanted that I didn't get, and I didn't get anything I didn't want. Kiss of Snow was a terrific reading experience for this fan. Nalini Singh, THANK YOU! from the bottom of my Hawke lovin' heart.

"You have the power to tear me to pieces, to wound me so deep and true that I'll never recover."

THE STORY: KISS OF SNOW continues Singh's series about the world where humans, changelings (human animal shapeshifters) and Psy (those with psychic abilities) live. As readers of the series will recall, the Psy have been subject to Silence for 100 years. Silence was the stripping of all emotions from the Psy intended to protect them from the damaging effects of emotions. Now Silence is breaking down and there is a struggle for power between factions of the Psy and humans and changelings.

"Nothing about Sienna Lauren had ever been easy."

Sienna Lauren is Psy. Her family defected to the SnowDancer changeling pack when Sienna was a teenager. Sienna is X-Psy which is a mysterious and rare designation. X-Psy means that Sienna is a living weapon. Most Psy of her designation do not live long and no one has lived longer than 25 years. Sienna is now nineteen and is a soldier for the SnowDancer Pack. Since their first meeting, she has known that she has wanted the Alpha of the SnowDancer Pack.

Hawke is the alpha wolf of the SnowDancer den. He is arrogant and protective and dominant. He has wanted Sienna since he first saw her, but he knows that he cannot do anything about it. He has believed her too young and also he knows that he cannot give her what she needs.

"Hawke's mate is dead. He buried his heart with her."

The wolf that Hawke knows would be his mate died as a child. Since wolves love only once, Hawke does not believe that his wolf will allow him to love Sienna in that way. Because he cares about her, he doesn't want to hurt her. At the same time, Hawke cannot keep away from Sienna.

OPINION: This is the book that readers of the series have been looking forward to because Hawke and Sienna's relationship has been hinted at in many of the books of the series. I loved the relationship between Hawke and Sienna. He wants her desperately but he cares too much about her to want to hurt her. At the same time, Sienna doesn't want Hawke to dictate their relationship and demands to be treated as an equal. They are both strong, difficult people and they strike some serious sparks off of one another. Their story is intense and complex and I was enthralled the entire time. Entwined with the culmination of the overarching story of the impending attack on the changeling packs, Singh has created a story that is a suspense story but also a deeply moving romance. This is a story that I immediately wanted to reread. It was my favorite book since SLAVE TO SENSATION and is definitely on par with that story. I think the two can be read together as bookends to a portion of the Psy-Changeling story.

The book also has a sweet secondary romance between Lara, the SnowDancer healer and Walker Lauren, Sienna's uncle. An addition to the story that doesn't detract, the story is a sweet contrast to the more angst filled difficult romance between Hawke and Sienna.

WORTH MENTIONING: Fans of the series will be pleased to know that finally Sascha and Lucas' child is born. Having both Alpha couples in this book was a treat.

FINAL DECISION: I loved this book. I consider it one of the best of the series. Action packed and emotional and written in a way that makes a reader want to keep turning pages, I highly recommend it.

CONNECTED BOOKS: KISS OF SNOW is the tenth book in the Psy-Changeling series. This book brings to a conclusion some of the stories that have been present in the series since the beginning. A reader could enjoy this book apart from the others in the series although I recommend starting at the beginning. Hawke and Sienna's story has been going on since the beginning of the series and has more meaning having followed their journey.

STAR RATING: I give this book 5 stars!

Hawke and Sienna. This story has been building for the last 10 books, and it was a wonderful story to read about. Their differences made them stronger, and their refusal to back down gave this book the bite, fun, and romance that made me unable to put it down.
