Spoiler DisclaimerSynopsisWhen the shower in Lucas's tree house slows to a trickle, a towel-clad Sascha goes in search of her mate to ask him to fix it. She ends up getting more than she expected, when he makes her bargain for his repair services. ReviewThe Shower is a short vignette in the lives of Lucas and Sascha from Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling world. The author calls it a deleted scene. However, in her introductory note, she also says that chronologically speaking, it falls sometime after the events of Slave to Sensation, so I'm not sure where it was deleted from. In any case, it's super-short, registering at a mere two pages on my eReader, or 569 words, which is flash-fiction. The story is a very simple one in which Sascha is having trouble with the shower not working and must bargain with Lucas to get him to fix it. This is a fun and sensual little diversion that was well-written and that I enjoyed. However, as with most stories that are so brief, it left me not entirely satisfied. I was craving the love scene I knew was coming, but the story cuts off before that. Overall, though, not bad. I'd recommend it to fans of the series, Lucas and Sascha in particular. The Shower can be read for free on the author's website. VisitThemes |

Sensuality Rating Key
1 Heart = Smooching
May contain mild to moderate sexual tension and/or possible implications of something more taking place off canvas, but nothing beyond kissing actually occurs within the text. Our take: These books would be appropriate for teen and sensitive readers.
2 Hearts = Sweet
May contain moderate to high sexual tension which could include passionate clinches that end in cut scenes and/or extremely mild love scenes with virtually no details. Our take: These books should still be appropriate for most mature teens and sensitive readers.
3 Hearts = Sensuous
May contain moderately descriptive love scenes, usually no more than three. Our take: Teen and sensitive readers should exercise caution.
4 Hearts = Steamy
May contain a number of explicitly descriptive love scenes. Our take: Not recommended for under 18 or sensitive readers.
5 Hearts = Scorching
May contain a number of explicitly descriptive love scenes that typically include explicit language and acts which some readers may find kinky and/or offensive. Our take: Definite adults only material, not for the faint of heart.
