He’s content to enjoy life to the fullest, never taking anything but his royal duties seriously. However, … the fullest, never taking anything but his royal duties seriously. However, when a new scientist arrives on his planet to test for biological weapons, he can’t seem to stay away from her.
Dr. Tori Elliot is at the palace to do a job and no matter what she’s going to act like a professional… which means not succumbing to the seductively playful alpha male prince.

Another enjoyable story that was fun, hot and spicy and had a little action in it as well. I like this author’s writing style, her characters are always entertaining although I’m not so sure though about how Quinn’s behaviour, trapping Tori in his quarters by burning all her clothes would go down with most strong and independent women. Especially after Tori had already been trapped in their quarters for three weeks, then to be told he wants 16 sons, I know I’d be running for the hills!
A simply wonderful book, loved the characters and plot
This was a simply amazing read I enjoyed every single moment and found myself to be totally blown away by both the characters and the plot which was so innovative and so cleverly written. Quinn is the youngest in the royals, of the Var Princes and he is quite the character and also the Ambassador which is an important position.
Tori has come to their lands and she is assisting in the safe removal of biological weapons that need to be removed as quickly as possible, when she meets the Prince for the first time she is fairly surprised by him however what she fails to realise is that he has already decided that she is his newest prey and he is determined to catch her no matter what.
There is a great deal of action and interaction between the two main characters and over time as they work together and get to know each other their feelings begin to grow develop in to so much more.
It is obvious that they have fallen in love and even though they have started a fairly intimate relationship she still ensures at the end of the interlude she return to her chambers, this is a situation that Quinn has never encountered.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.
I love Michelle’s books and have been a reviewer of her’s for along time now.All of her books have a purpose and that is for the reader to enjoy and be entertained.Mission achieved.
Dr. Tori Elliot is a woman who’s stuck between her devotion to her work and her secret burning desire for a handsome teasing Prince.When Tori Elliot is sent to the planet to help test and look for more possible biological threats that may be hidden on the planet she finds more then she ever thought she could bargain for. After finding there are no more treats present she is asked to stay behind to test the strange soil and the moss that is found in the marshes.
Prince Quinn is the Ambassador for the Var although serious and very good at his job he can be carefree and very playful when it comes to winning the affection of women.That is all about to change when he meets Tori. He can think about no one but her ,there’s one problem he knows she wants him but she won’t easily give in .He decides to make it his mission to woo her to win heart and in to his bed and won’t stop till he does.
She finally begins to soften to him by agreeing to be his date on an important night for his people. He wines and dines her resulting in a very hot passionate night for the two.The next two weeks are often filled with passionate play but not before some serious worked .Quinn becomes jealous of Tori relationship with her co- workers making him some what cold towards her, but the hot sex still remains.
When test results come in they find the Planet is now faced with a new and deadlier treat then before. A sudden death and a race against time to find answers.When things seem go bad it gets worst then they possibly think they could.Hearts are aching and actions must be taken. But will it be to late?
I loved this book. The way Tori protected the other scientist and the cat shifters was awesome. My favorite part was when the cat shifter underestimated her and then got what was coming to him. Michelle M. Pillow did it again with a very interesting page turning book. I love how Quinn was playful and mischievous but was serious about the protection of his people. The fact that he was jealous of Vitto was hilarious.
Betrayal within
Someone has to watch over the Scientific expedition while they look for any more bio-weapons. Tori & her teams uncover more than they were supposed to and that threatens the royal family. Good thing Quinn is up for the challenge and the brothers are a tight knit unit.
As the other books from the series amazing!
Tori Elliot wants a break from work, and she almost makes it off the ship. The HIA however draft her in and the money means she can have a decadent Spa stay for a month, so she accepts their offer.
She is to be the head scientist to lead a team to test soil samples and assess any threat to the inhabitants. With all her qualifications, what is the one they need her most for.. she is young and female!!!!
Ambassador, Prince Quinn is a born jokester but a very capable diplomat. And he is very sure that he is never getting mated – famous last words! Quinn doesn’t exactly have a great first meet with this frosty scientist, she finds him in a liplock in the hallway.
Quinn is determined to bed Tori and then he knows he will get her out of system. Quinn’s relentless and Tori decides to play him at his own game. She thinks she will be a roll in the hay and he’ll move onto his neck conquest, which suits her just fine. But fate has another ending in mind for these two.
I love Michelle’s stories, especially as this series overlaps so you get to see the action from several standpoints and timescales within the overall story arc. Quinn is just a fantastic foil to Tori, who hides her passion and sexual nature under a shell of professionalism, wanting to distance herself from her sister. No spoilers here but the teddy bear scene is HYSTERICAL!
If you’re looking for intriguing and sexy, this book is it, because the author always kept a steady balance between romance and mystery.
An edge of your seat thrill ride from beginning to end and so hard to put down. Action packed, emotional roller-coaster filled with witty and engaging charters, dangerous twists and heart racing turns.
Weird Science
Michelle M. Pillow’s second book in her ‘Lord of the Var’ series is a delightful one. Prince Quinn lives up to the title of ‘playful’. Dr. Tori Elliot is a scientist that has come to the castle to test for biological weapons. Prince Quinn has taken a liken to the good doctor and wants to play around. But Dr. Tori takes her job seriously and would like to study the marshes as well. This is such an exciting adventurous, romantic suspense story that I had a hard time putting the book down. Highly recommended and definitely a MUST read!
This is the second story in the Qurilixen World of “Lords of the Var” series. This one is about Prince Quinn and Dr. Tori. He is an ambassador and very content with his life as a player and having fun. Tori is on her way for a much needed vacation until she is sent to test for biological weapons. These two meet and the attraction is definitely there from the beginning. This is a fun and sexy alien sci-fi read. It is also a good romance with likable characters. I like how the story develops from beginning to end. This is a series that definitely gets better with each story.
Another of Michelle’s Qurilixen world novels. This one concerns the cat shifters of Var and in particular Prince Quinn the playboy who has no intention of settling down. Will his thoughts change when Dr Tori Elliot arrives at the castle? An emotionally charged read full of humour, danger and steamy scenes. These cat shifters are something else!

I really enjoyed this story. I loved the characters in the first book and this book was no different. Quinn and Doctor Elliot had an interesting relationship. They both felt drawn to each other but each tried to deny that fact and said they were only lovers. Both thought the other didn’t feel anything for them but just wanted to steamy moments that they had together. I thought the drama and conflict in this story was better than the first but the first book was a little bit more steamy. I can’t wait to read the other prince’s books and find out who they find as their own mate!

Quinn and Tori’s Story . . .
Scientist Dr. Tori Elliot is on a mission to safely remove the biological weapon, deadly black moss infesting the planet and lethal to living things. The Var Prince Quinn is not looking for a serious relationship and enjoys a variety of women for his amusement.
As he falls for her, Quinn does not have any idea about dating, more comfortable being playful. He locks her up in his quarters with no clothes, for example. Although Tori may be attracted to the man, she doesn’t like this cave-man style. Will they communicate and find a way to be together while treating her with respect? And when will they find out about the accidental mating?
It was very interesting story.
I like shifters books and cat shifter Prince sound good. May me think about purring, cuddly kitty.
They don’t like to follow rules..
Prince Queen is perfect example. Funny, steamy romance.

Prince Quinn meets Tori and all things change. The playboy can’t get her out of his mind. The storyline is entertaining and the interaction and chemistry between the characters is great. I can’t wait for more from this author. I received this book , as a FREE ARC copy to read and I voluntarily leave this review.
Sassy banter, alpha men, steam, mystery, action, and it all ends with a HEA! What more could you want? Another excellent series by Michelle M. Pillow..

Another story I totally enjoyed reading. The characters were appealing with steamy romantic encounters and the story was engaging. When a black moss infests the planet, scientist Dr Tori Elliot along with other scientists are sent on a mission to stop it’s spreading. When Var Prince Quinn sees scientist Dr Tori Elliot, he confines her in his quarters naked. Tori feels the attraction between them but she wants to be more than a bedmate and having children. Can a compromise occur? I volunteer to read and review this ARC that I received via Booksprout.
Lords of the Var is my favorite series from Michelle Pillow, and each of the 5 books in the series is more than able to be read as a standalone. Read together, there is nothing better! Whenever I have a few extra minutes, I turn to one of these stories and start reading one of them. The Playful Prince is one of the best! Quinn and Tori are perfect together, and their story has it all, romance, danger, action, tenderness, humor. It’s perfect! I’d give it 10 stars if I could!
