Rowena Cherry knows how to tell a story! I've only recently begun reading Sci-Fi and Paranormal books, and this offering has made me an absolute fan. Her characters are delightful, from Djinni [the ultimate tough but gentle heroine:]to Prince Tarrant-Arragon [the arrogant alpha male with the tender heart:]to the wisecracking 'earthling' advisor, Grievous...plus many more. I read this from cover to cover without a break! You will too, because this is yet another keeper for your shelf.

It says on the cover of this book that this author was a New Voice In Romance Contest Finalist. Were there only two or three authors in the contest? Seriously. I can't remember how this book originally came to my attention, but most of the reviews are very complimentary. Maybe they are all relatives and friends? Honestly, I haven't read anything this bad in...well, I can't remember when. And I've read some stinkers, so that's saying something!First, I thought this was supposed to be humorous.
I enjoyed the witty banter and would read more from this author. Funny as all get out, it made for a light hilarious read.
This one has been sitting on my shelves for a long time. 2004, I believe. So when I picked it up I didn't remember exactly what drew me to the book in the first place. For some reason, I was thinking it was erotica or that borderline romantica, but it's a proper romance, a sf/futuristic one.Even though sex is hinted about and discussed quite a bit, it doesn't end up being shown till fairly late in the book. Interesting world building, although some of the terminology made me roll my eyes a bit.
I would actually classify this book rather as a lewd comedy than romance.Many of the terms are never explained, but hey everyone can conjure up some mental image when reading about "rut-rage". Right?Of course, a lot of the stuff doesnt make sense, and the scifi elements are a flimsy backdrop at best.But the interactions between the entire cast are hilarious enough to make up for a lot of weak points.One simply has to admire the single mindedness with which our protagonist hero? pursues his
I'm probably a bad audience for this book. I don't read romance novels and I don't know diddly-squat about chess. I had a really hard time getting through the first half of this book. I didn't like either Tarrant-Arragon or Djinni. (However, Grievous was a terrific character.) I just couldn't fathom how a species that was so obsessed with sex could possible have become a star-faring race. About 1/2 way through though, the story picked up quite a bit. I really liked the secondary characters, J.J.
