I love the writing style of this author. I have devoured the very first 4 books in this series and am about to begin number 5. It would be redundant for me to retell the story when several other reviewers have done a great job of summarizing it; however, there are a few things I would like to add.
First I am amazed at the thoroughness of Ms. Singh's character development. Each character is very unique, not cut and paste. She brings them to life and breaths a passion and intensity into each one that kept me turning the pages. I didn't want to put the book down.
It is rare to find truly unique new talent. I believe Ms. Singh is a must read for paranormal romance readers. My only fault would be with her proof readers/editors. The typos and faulty phrases are a bit distracting, but I feel sure that will change now that her talent is obvious.

There were two books I ordered this week: Of course, one was "Mine to Possess" (Psy-Changelings, Book 4) by Nalini Singh and the other was "The Fates" by GE0RGIOU. Both books are highly recommended, but this review is for the very first book I bought. Tally and Clay are a fun pair, full of life, fully developed characters the bring this story in the realm of 5-star romances. Nalini Singh is a master at making the reader share with the problems the characters suffer; we share in their joys; we share in their overall experiences, and we share their pain. Singh is also a master at revitalizing former characters to all their wondrous glory without bogging down the story by trying to fit them in. This is a great book with a refreshing storyline that all will want to read. I'd also highly recommend reading the latter book I mentioned "The Fates" by Georgiou, again, a book you don't want to miss. The Fates

I was excited to get the 4th full length novel in the Psy-Changeling series, so excited that I started it the very day I got it. From the very first novel I read of Nalini Singh's I was totally enraptured by the world she had built, and the characters that inhabited it. The very first in the series 'Slave to Sensation', followed by 'Visions of Heat' and 'Caressed by Ice' and now 'Mine to Posses'. Each effort brings us deeper into this world, expanding what we know, with the conflict fresh and ever-changing I'm still rooting for these Changelings & their mates.
Clay and Talin knew each other as children. Through tragedy, Clay lost his freedom and Talin. Many years later Talin seeks him out, looking for help. Looking again for the only friend she ever had. Clay's leopard immediately recognizes the need to claim, and Talin realizes that Clay is just as dangerous as he ever was....especially to her heart.
Nalini continues to build on the world, showing how favorite characters are progressing, and letting us see more of the Psy Council and their problems and dealings. She also introduces us to new characters that we can only hope to see more of. At the same time she doesn't give up anything in the main story between Talin & Clay.
This is a wonderful story, and a great addition to the Psy-Changeling series. I'm already anxious and excited for the subsequent one.
Run and pick up this great series. The highly detailed world, and great love stories can not fail to impress. Nalini brings you into this richly imagined world, and makes you want to join in.

Clay Bennett is the half human/half Changeling sentinel of the DarkRiver leopard clan. Growing up he had to repress his animal nature, but one day it erupted in an act of violence which ended with him in jail and his best friend Talin deciding it would be better off if he thought she were dead. The years go by and now Talin is in trouble, and needs Clays help. But he's still walking the fine edge of violence, so as well as making a future together, they also have to resolve the troubles of their past.
As well as Clay and Talin's story (which I think it's perfectly possible to enjoy as a standalone) Mine to Possess also continues the major arc being played out over the course of the series. It's one of those series where you'll get more out of it, if you've read the preceding books.
The thing that's different between this book than the others in the series is that Talin and Clay already have a relationship. What they are doing here is forgiving the mistakes of the past and learning to move on. But because of this, the relationship at the beginning is somewhat combative. Clay pushes and Talin stands her ground, and they have a lot that they need to resolve.
"What happened to you, Tally?"
..."I broke."
Clay is a very solitary and brooding character and he knows it's possible he could turn rogue if he gives in to the violence inside of him. Faith (from Visions of Heat) is particularly protective of him, and is more than a little questioning of Talin's motives. Talin in turn can't help but feel jealous of Faith and the perceived place she has in Clay's life.
To begin with there are quite a few misunderstandings between our hero and heroine, and usually I'd be tempted to say they just need to talk. But in this case they both have so much baggage from the past and a major crisis to deal with in the present that it takes a lot for them to make it over that very first barrier. But it makes it all the more worth it when they do. :)
The major arc of the story continues. The Psy are forging ahead with their plan to create a hive mind and are coming scarily close to achieving their goal. Luckily the unknown saboteur The Ghost is continuing to be a thorn in their side. One of the best things about this series is the fact that Nalini Singh makes it clear that neither the Changeling, Psy nor human way is perfect. Each species has its flaws and talents, which makes Sascha's conclusions at the end of the story very interesting. We also find out about more Changeling species, and some very intriguing hints are dropped about the snakes.
There are multiple points of view, but they are skilfully woven into the fabric of the story, so they neither feel intrusive or surplus to the plot. Everything here serves to push the story forward, and we have plenty of time with Talin and Clay to appreciate how their relationship develops.Highly recommend series. Hostage to Pleasure is out in September.

Book 4 in Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series has us entrenched in yet another edge of your seat read. This story puts us back in DarkRiver territory with the tale of Clay and Tally: different from the other books in that Tally is human and has known Clay since childhood, we see a different kind of story unfolding.
The 'mating dance' between Clay and Tally is unique because of Tally's past relationships, her emotional pain and self doubt. Her gradual acceptance of Clay, his beast, and the family affinity of pack colour this book in a wonderful way.
The 'mating dance' between each new couple and the way Singh portrays pack, either wolf or cat, as a family unit is what draws me back to this series again and again. Five Stars!!!!
