First books have to set up the series and the world it exists in, and sometimes that means something else gets shortchanged a bit. I try to keep that in mind as I read. I really liked the premise of the story and the world Ms. Singh created (alternate reality Earth). I've seen reviews for the second book that state the reader preferred it to the first one. I'm really looking forward to reading Visions of Heat, to find out if I fit in that category, too, or if I think the book equal or less than the first. :-) If I find the first book of a series to be a bit wobbly (in my opinion), I have to read the second book to really know.

I'm impressed that you still are willing to give the Psy series another try because of this. I haven't read this author yet, but I'm really thinking I'll pick up one of her books soon.

I did enjoy it -- even if it sounds like I'm nitpicking. I think I should have read something else --- the Heyer, maybe -- between this book and Dawnkeepers. I really LOVED Dawnkeepers and that may have influenced my reading. A hero with a trauma like that should be reluctant to fall in love, or that how it's usually presented in romance. I finally reconciled it, in my mind anyway, by reasoning that it's the cat calling the shots, ignoring the man's resistance/reluctance to the bonding. :-D I also have Angel's Blood pre-ordered. Yep.

Something that I've noticed with every Psy/Changeling book except one, is that the males are very unresistant to the mating bond. Even if they suffered in the past or are wary of their mate, they still go full throttle with them. I can see where that would raise an issue. I have to say that I liked this book in the series the best. The rest were good, but they had little impact on me and aside from the world building, were a little forgettable.
