Of the four books so far, this is my favorite, and that is primarily due to the distinctive character of the hero: given Judd's Bourne-like back story as an ice-cold, highly trained assassin with a inviolable code of ethics, watching passion incrementally thaw him out over was especially satisfying. And, of course, scorching HOT -- I fervently hope we get more male Psy heroes in later installments.
The development of the background story arc has been another interesting component of this series, with vivid hints of future plot developments and potential further romances embedded in the consecutive stories. The subsequent book (#5) covers Dorian and the Psy scientist responsible for the subsequent level of the Silence program -- fine. But the one I'm really looking forward to is the subsequent book, which is reputed to cover Hawke (the charismatic alpha of the wolf pack), since there have been tantalizing indications of where that particular story's going...

Of the 3 books in the series I liked the story line of this one best; however, about half way through the book the author (or assistant to the author) makes some mistakes that create inconsistencies in the story. Unfortunately stuff like that REALLY bothers me. For example Judd, who the author tells us has been well trained in all manner of undercover work including a wide variety of sexual skills in the event they were necessary in his "James Bond" sort of duties, finally ends up making love to Breanna (his mate). As we are reading this very hot, well written love scene, we are suddenly told Judd is a virgin. This is totally inconsistent with his character. As a psy, yes this may be the very first time he has been EMOTIONALLY involved, but we were told early on the training he received. This is an error that made it look as though either the author wrote the chapters out of order and the editor didn't catch the mistake, or she had help writing the second part of the book.
I really like this series a great deal and hated to give this book only a 3 since the story line was wonderful, but there were also a number of research errors in the book. This author has wonderful potential, but needs help with her research and needs a better editor/proof reader.

Caressed by Ice is my favorite Psy/Changeling book. Which is saying something because I didn't want to read it at first. I didn't think I would be interested in an 'emotionless psy' not when there were hot blooded changelings running around.
I was wrong.
I think Judd Laurens is one of the most fleshed out characters Nalini Singh has created to date. I loved him. I felt for him. I tingled for him. It's true what they say, 'still waters run deep'
Judd and Brenna's story was the best in my opinion. The storyline was riveting and believable. I think that's one of the best things about Nalini Singh is that she can make you believe in this world. In the very first two books she made it seem like the Changelings were far better people then the Psy but in Caressed By Ice she showed you that even the Changelings can be evil and that not all Psy are cold and distant but that some are quietly trying to break the chains of Silence as best they are able.
I think I even like the SnowDancer clan better than DarkRiver. Hawke, the alpha wolf of SnowDancer is really compelling and you read a little bit about his history. Plus his interactions with Judd's niece Sienna is a hoot.
If you haven't started this series, then start it. NOW. It is one of my favorites. Don't start with this one though because Judd and Brenna's story actually begins in the very first book, Slave To Sensation and it's best to read a series in order (unlike me who read SK's Book 10 Dark Side Of The Moon very first and am still bitter about it *grumble*)

This series just gets better and better. Judd and Brenna's story was a very intense one that had me on the edge of my seat. I wondered how the story was going to unfold with a psy assassin and an emotionally damaged girl who couldn't shift. I don't want to give too much away, just know that the story was fraught with tension, battles and a good healthy dose of justice. Not to mention an ending that wasn't too shabby.
One of the things I like the most about this series is that we never lose sight of the characters from books 1 and 2, Lucas and Sascha, Vaughn and Faith are still present and accounted for in book 3. The struggle that we've seen the psy characters go through to break through their conditioning and push silence aside is still present in book 3, even more so because of Judd's special designation.
Also the story is loaded with sexual tension without being over run with page after page of sex. The anticipation along with the logic and Singh's writing style make this a winner for me. Five stars!!!!

Nalini answers the questions about Brenna after being attacked in the 2nd book in this series. But Ms. Singh went above and beyond all expectations. You'll loved how even though Judd tried not to feel anything for Brenna that he couldn't help himself and couldn't keep away from her. And you'll be looking forward to more stories in this series with anticipation. I'd also recommend:
Visions of Heat (Psy-Changelings, Book 2)
