If I'd written this review 40 pages before the end, I would have given it 4 stars. However the last 40 pages were just such a waste of time and paper I have to give Nalini Singh a half star debit.

As with Slave to Sensation, Visions of Heat is about a Psy who finds a deep connection with a Changeling. You can read this book without reading the previous but I think Singh leaves out some material about the depth and importance of the mate bond among Changelings that you read in book 1. She assumes you've read her other books, which is good because we don't spend a lot of time rehashing things. But if you came into this story cold, I am not sure you would have completely been convinced why their relationship is so important to Vaughn (the hero).

Visions has a good romance, the mystery is less exciting but we get acquainted with secondary characters (like Judd, star of next book). Singh does an exceptional job of creating this alternate reality and the PsyNet. It is remarkable how much thought she has given, this isn't just putting pretty words together, she's creating a universe that is unique and interesting.

So far Singh's hero's are all Alpha males, super dominant types, the cranky guys with a hard edge and a soft heart. She writes them well and convinces us that they've found their match. The love scenes are steamy.

3.5 stars
