This seventh installment in the Psy-Changeling paranormal romance series was surprisingly meh. When Devraj Santos takes in a woman found injured and unconscious on his foundation's doorstep, he is not ready for the powerful connection that will spark between them. Katya was left with deep psychic wounds and some deeply buried instructions and compulsions. She and Dev must work to unravel them before time runs out, all while navigating their passion for each other.
The romance in this book just didn't work for me at all. Because Dev takes Katya into what is essentially a form of protective custody, there is a huge imbalance of power between them that is not resolved or equalized before their relationship begins. That pretty much turned me off from the relationship, even though things never got icky. I did find the intrigue aspects of the story and the advancement of the series meta-plot interesting, though.
