Djinni-vera, last fertile virgin of the Royal Djinn, is well aware of Prince Tarrant-Arragon’s reputation for lecherous depravity.  All the Worlds are.  She has been taught that he’s evil and his government is corrupt.  As a Suarian Knight, Djinni knows she must resist him at all costs and kill him if at all possible.  What Djinni doesn’t realize is that the man she calls Tigger; the man who abducted her and plans to marry her; the man she is falling in love with is actually her arch enemy Tarrant-Arragon.  As the prince woos his chosen mate, Djinni finds that where she’d concerned, the “terror of the dodecahedrons” is just a big, sexy pussy cat.

Rowena Cherry weaves a marvelous, complex, and often funny story.  FORCED MATE is full of plot twists, ironic turns of event, and steamy carnality.  The closeness of the names (a lot of “Dj”s) and the amount of minor characters was a little confusing, but worth figuring out.  I can hardly wait to read Djethro-Jason and Martia-Djulia’s story INSUFFIENT MATING MATERIAL.
