Review

"Making Dinner" is a short story of about six pages that takes place around the start of Heart of Obsidian in the Psy-Changeling series chronology. This one features mates Riley and Mercy. Riley is preparing a special dinner for a pregnant Mercy, and they're joined by Mercy's brothers, Bastien, Sage, and Grey. While the brothers tend the food, Riley and Mercy go on a little romantic run in the forest.

Riley and Mercy are a favorite couple for me in this series. I loved that Riley was playing chef for Mercy, and that they got to enjoy a romantic interlude while waiting for the food to cook. I also enjoyed Mercy's playful banter with her brothers and learning a few tidbits about them. Bastien is dating someone, though I don't know if it's the same character who will become his heroine when his story is told in the novella, Secrets at Midnight. In any case, I look forward to seeing more of Mercy's brothers later in the series. For now, though, I thoroughly enjoyed this little romantic moment for Riley and Mercy.
