Book Description

Publication Date: October 16, 2006

To play. Prince Quinn, royal Ambassador, isn't looking for a serious relationship. In fact, he's never even considered it. Hopping from lover to lover, he's content to enjoy himself, never taking anything but his work seriously. However, when Dr. Tori Elliot is sent to the palace to test for biological weapons, he can't seem to stay away from her. Or not to play. Tori Elliot has just finished her last assignment and is on her way to a much needed vacation. But when the Human Intelligence Agency stops her ship and demands she heads up a team on some remote planet, she knows it in her best interest not to refuse. Ever serious, she knows she's there to do a job and no matter what, she's going to act like a professional. Meeting Prince Quinn, his body pressed against another woman in the palace halls, she knows he's not the man for her. Too bad he's the Ambassador and too sexy for his own good. Fighting her desire, Tori must try to do her job while not succumbing to the playful Var prince. Rating: Contains graphic sexual content, adult language, and violence.

This review is from: Lords of the Var: The Playful Prince (Book 2) (Paperback)

Dr. Tori Elliot is sent to the Var palace on the planet of Qurilixen to test for contamination after a biological weapon was found and removed, there she meets Prince Quinn and they are instantly attracted to each other. At first she fights her desire because she wants to act professional, but he is so playfully sexy, that of course they get together. But then she discovers a threat to the entire planet, at the same time he is trying to deal with these new feelings he has toward her.

The writing and storyline are both good, the passion between them is great. All together a very good book to read.

This is the 3rd book in the Lords of the Var series. Two species live on this male dominated plant, the Draig who are dragon shapeshifters and the Var who are cat shapeshifters. I eagerly await book 4 The Rogue Prince and book 5 The Pirate Prince to be printed.

5.0 out of 5 stars embarrassing, November 7, 2010

This review is from: Lords of the Var: The Playful Prince (Book 2) (Paperback)

embarrassing how snookered i got with this frothy, over the top romance series. In this episode, Dr Tori Elliot, over-achieving research scientist is drafted/dragged into temporary service on planet Qurillixen.

Aggravation and attraction develop quickly between her and carefree Var Prince Quinn. While professionalism and logic initially restrain her emotions, Quinn grows increasingly agitated. Tori and Quinn are each well drawn, bold, larger than life--except in their grounding sense of inner doubt.

a continuous mishmash of fun and mayhem. The fun includes, well... The mayhem is biologic weapons, murder, good Var/bad Var. Even with the subplots it's light, escapist. In regards to another review, i did pay somewhat crazy money for an OoP copy. Publisher was also sold out. Worth every penny.
