5 Stars! “I was held captive by every word”
Cat shifter Prince Quinn isn’t looking for a serious relationship. In fact, he’s never even considered it. 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.

The second book in the Lords of the Var series a well written story with a very good storyline, once I started I was not putting the book down until I was finished. Cat shifter Prince Quinn and human Dr. Tori Elliot’s story of drama, twists, turns, villains, jealousy, and romance. This story had me smiling at somethings.

After reading the premise, I knew I wouldn’t care for the male lead being a playboy type, but I liked other books by this author, so I wanted to give this a try. This is a fun story with some cool ideas; I enjoy the alien and mates scenario, the setting is interesting, and I like the bits of action going after the villain. Fun vibe to the story! There’s good steam and some cute sweetness between Tori and Quinn. Quinn’s playboy ways weren’t great; I definitely didn’t need the scene where he’s intimate with someone besides the heroine, and some of his thoughts were just eww. It’s understandable that Tori wouldn’t want to be with him, but they do have good chemistry and passion. I’d say this is a 3.5 rating; rounded up to a 4 because I was entertained the whole read, and I mainly just didn’t care for Quinn’s actions at times.
The Bold and The Stubborn
These two – Tori and Quinn – must have been the stubbornest pair to fall for each other and not admit their feels. Sometimes, I just wanted to shout ‘Just talk to each other!’. I loved the science part of this science fiction romance as well; between the biological weapons and the ecological restoration, I enjoyed how the science integrated with the story. Another great read.
This book was fun. I read a lot of alien romances, but strangely very few end up featuring cat shifters. Prince Quinn is definitely mischievous and a flirt. I found the interactions (and some misunderstandings) with him funny, though I’ll admit he did irk me at times when he did something I really disapproved of and would not stand for if it were to me. But I enjoyed this book. The storyline kept me interested and there was good world building. 4 stars.
loved it !!! love this series !!! love Quinn and Tori… this is their story… a fast paced drama… Dr. Tori Elliott is here to check the planet of bio weapons… a very serious matter…Prince Quinn is the youngest and very playful…and he wants to play with Tori. twists and turns, angst and jealousy… a good story…

The prince does not want a strong important connection. The problem is that this actually caused one. So now there is a quandary. What to do? Quinn never wanted a serious relationship. In fact he seem to take advantage of his position to explore his world. If you could call it that. The problem is Tori. She put a major wrench in his plans and he had to adjust. I enjoyed this book very much
I absolutely love the Playful Prince! This sci-fi/paranormal romance really makes me smile.. It has sass and mischief, with a playboy that totally falls for his serious scientist..

I really enjoyed this one. Tori is a serious, logical scientist, hired to make sure there is no residue left from a biological weapon found on Qurilixen. Quinn is a playboy Var prince who was raised believing that loving only one woman and becoming ‘life mated’ to her was a sign of weakness. But opposites can and do attract, and there is definitely an attraction between them. But besides the romance heating up, this story has lots of action and excitement. We have a ruthless, angry elder Var noble who is seeing his influence and power draining away with the death of the old king, a potential biological nightmare, Prince Quinn’s growing feelings and jealousy over Vitto, and light moments from the Var confusion over Earth dating habits and the mighty teddy bear! If you like fantasy stories with tension, action, mystery, and some laughs along with some steamy moments, be sure to give this one a look!
Another fantastic book from Michelle M Pillow. I really enjoy her stories as she takes me into her world and I live the adventures. This book is part of a series and I would recomend reading in order to get the best out of the series. This has a well developed world and believable characters. Love that this world has multiple series plenty to keep me entertained.

I have two words for you…..TEDDY BEARS!!! If you’d like to know the meaning, you gotta buy the book. I won’t spoil it for you.
This is book 2 of the Var section in the Qurilixen World & it’s Quinn & Tori’s book. Quinn is a prince of course and Tori is a scientist with the HIA. Quinn is the proverbial playboy complete with a harem and all. Who could blame him though considering who his father was. I truly despised Attor, and no, I will not call him King, I’m glad he’s gone. Anyway, I digress. Tori is on Qurilixen to make sure Attor’s “little toy” isn’t contaminating the people or planet. Plus she doesn’t really take to Quinn’s playboy ways. Comically however, the more Quinn tries to flirt and pull Tori in, he develops these “strange & unfamiliar” feelings. He has absolutely no idea how to deal with them.
It’s full of hilarity, action, steam, a HEA & last but not least TEDDY BEARS.
If you’d like to start at the beginning of the Var section, The Savage King is book 1. However this could easily be read as a standalone due to enough backstory that you won’t be lost. For a laugh out loud read with a would HEA, I recommend this without a doubt
A scientist who was helping checking for contamination
A prince falling in love at first glance
A misunderstanding that gets in the way
A hidden fungus that could destroy them all
An evil appearing
Kidnapping, and forced to help the evil
And so much more

Prince Quinn, the Var Ambassador, can’t imagine committing to one woman, like his brother King Krill. With so many to choose from, why settle for one. That is until one sexy scientist walks in on him making out with one of the harem girls in the hallway, totally unacceptable behavior to Tori Elliot, HIA scientist. She quickly puts him in his place and leaves. Tori has been sent to make sure the biological weapon their dead father King Attor brought on the planet to wipe out the Draig hasn’t leaked from its container and contaminated anyone. They give her one month and three other scientists to make sure nothing was affected on the planet.
Prince Quinn is intrigued and makes it his mission to flirt with her and shake her up. Somehow the plan backfires and he falls in love. Unschooled in the art of “dating” thanks to his worthless father, Quinn doesn’t understand what is wrong with him or how to deal with his feelings. But when danger comes to the scientists, Quinn will do anything to get Tori back!
I love how the relationship developes between Quinn and Tori . It’s really kind of cute how clueless he is, even with King Krill’s “help”. Really enjoyed the book. Can’t wait for the next one.

Var Prince Quinn is indeed playful and mischievous however he takes his duty as ambassador very seriously. It’s entertaining and amusing his distraction with the scientist Dr Tori Elliot. Tori is assigned a serious and fatal mission to help the Var people. The Black Crawl is a deadly black moss slowly spreading over the planet that will eventually kill all living creatures unless destroyed. The interaction between characters alone is hilarious and the misinterpretation of a teddy bear is hysterical. I love the happy ending. This author is incredibly amazing with her feel-good stories.
I’ve read almost all of these books. Love them. Read on
It was a decent read. Not as good as the first in the series but not bad either.
