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.

I loved this book and all of the Lords of Var books. As well as the Dragon Lord books. Michelle Pillow is a wonderful writer and I highly recommend anything she writes. This is a great series.

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.

These books are amazing. I love the mastership of the Var men! And their ladies are strong and loving at the same time.
I own everyone of them and hated when the series ended. If you have not read the books you need to and are in for a treat.

Pillow again forces a couple together with bad writing, bad plot and dubious outcomes. I loved her older works, but this series is so FORCED (and not in the good way you would expect from an erotic series). Though this book is the best of the Princes of Var series, it still lacks warmth or even dialog. Pillow mashes the hero and heroine together in a way you just can't believe at all.

The Playful Princes goes from the lovable character in the last book to an overbearing oaf in two chapters. A sad transformation when so much about his character held promise.

Skip this series and read her stand alone novels-- they have plots, characters and hot sex, without making you wish you had saved your money to spend elsewhere.

I loved this book. I loved Quinn and I loved Tori. I felt bad for his confusion over being mated to her but I have to say the story overall was funny, sexy and really cute! I think this was my favorite of all I've read it multiple times. I love love love how through all the books you see the women become close and each have their babies...I like being kept in the loop of the other couples lol...you'll like it if you haven't read it but I do suggest reading Kirill's story since they are somewhat attached.

Michelle M. Pillow creates a fantasy world of intense romance and erotism. Its great and can't wait to read some more from Michelle!!

I think "Playful Prince" is truly the one to read of the series. The heroine is smart, strong, interesting and doesn't become the helpless victim that typically occurs in these types of stories. I love it that she has the upper hand. There is also some great humor around a teddy bear!

I hold off on 5 stars as there were times where I thought the heroine could have been more sensitive to her prince and at least left the poor guy a note when she couldn't meet him or left him in the morning.

The other Var books aren't as strong IMHO because the heroines are too much under the thumb of their princes - really hate that. It does get tiresome in reading the other Var stories how they always get pregnant in the end. The books do seem to have cut/paste from each other (not as bad as the Dragon series) and so overall, I recommend just reading Playful which is the best as the rest feel like variations on the same theme but with weaker heroines.

Don't pay crazy amounts for this book used, you can buy it from the publisher for retail price

i thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next ones from Michelle Pillow. i have read the previous 5 books set on this world and am wishing i could be there.
