Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Commander Jason's true identity as Prince Djetthro-Djason has been uncovered, and he's forced to mate with the ruling prince's sister, Martia-Djulia. But this is not the punishment it seems. Though Djetth and Martia's one night of passion was mistakenly triggered by another's scent, Djetth is rather fond of his high-maintenance bride-to-be. Unfortunately, she's pining for his presumed dead alter ego--if only he can convince her she can love him regardless of his name. "Spunky" isn't often used to describe older heroines, but everything good about the word is perfect for Martia-Djulia, who acts as a wonderful foil to Djetth's unconventional courtship in this sequel to Forced Mate (2004). Cherry's decidedly British and sometimes brash sense of humor won't be everyone's cup of tea. Yet there's an allure to her characters and futuristic land, with an ever-evolving story of palace intrigue and secretive pasts, that keeps readers wanting more. Nina Davis

4.0 out of 5 stars More like 4 1/2 stars...., January 18, 2007

By	Deborah Wiley (Winter Haven, FL) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL is the phenomenal follow up to Rowena Cherry's FORCED MATE. Just a word of caution to those who haven't yet read, FORCED MATE, as the plot of INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL reveals a bit of the spoilers for FORCED MATE.

Prince Djetthro-Jason has been defeated by Tarrant-Arragon in his quest to mate with Djinni-vera and his role in the opposition exposed. Tarrant-Arragon allows him to live with the condition that he mate with Tarrant-Arragon's sister, Martia-Djulia while never revealing to her his past identity as Commander Jason. The only problem is that Martia-Djulia still hungers for the night of passion she shared with Commander Jason. Tarrant-Arragon has a plan to unite them regardless. But are there other more nefarious forces at work?

Rowena Cherry's complex world of courtly intrigue set in this science fiction arena has only improved with the latest installment, INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL. For those unfamiliar with Ms. Cherry's world, this reviewer highly recommends reading FORCED MATE first in order to get a taste of the various intrigues. One will also get a glimpse at the history of the relationship between Martia-Djulia and Commander Jason which enhances the enjoyment of INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL. However, enough information is provided to the reader, along with the handy glossary of characters and the family tree, to make this book a stand alone novel.

The character development by Ms. Cherry is superb! Even secondary characters, such as Madam Tarra and Helispeta, are vividly alive for the reader. The interplay between Djetth and Martia-Djulia is both sensual and humorous, as one never imagined so many sensuous possibilities existed on a deserted island! Ms. Cherry is an author who is well aware of her characters and makes them come to life for the reader. Martia-Djulia and Djetth are the perfect complements for one another and it is such a joy to see this story unfold.

INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL is a clever blend of science fiction, romance, humor, and mystery. This splendid tale hooks you in from the first page and keeps you captivated until the very end where all is revealed. Rowena Cherry has definitely found her niche. One can only hope that there will be future tales in this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Djust Terrific!, January 18, 2007

By	Jacquie Rogers "author of Faery Special Romances" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We drooled over Prince Djetthro-Jason before and now Rowena Cherry has written his story--one that was definitely worth the wait! In her typical fashion, Ms. Cherry combines sex, action, love, and adventure into one terrific story. Did I say sex? Whoowee!

Princess Martia-Djulia is overlooked, underrated, but not underfed. Commander Jason has captured her heart and she refuses to give in to Emperor Tarrant-Arragon's demand that she marry Prince Djetthro-Jason. Meantime, Djetth, having had wild and crazy sex with her as Jason, is quite amenable to at least the bedsport part of the deal. Her curves drive him absolutely mad with desire. But he has to be patient--not his long suit.

Patience isn't the princess's brother's long suit, either. When Djetth doesn't make progress convincing the princess to mate with him, the emperor decides to shoot the two wayward lovers down on a deserted island. The couple has to resort to surviving on their wits--which is hard since they're both at their wits' end.

Insufficient Mating Material is a sexy, funny adventure story, and informative, too. I had a great time reading this book. Ms. Cherry has written a great follow-up to Forced Mate and Mating Net that won't disappoint either her fans or her new readers. IMM is a stand-alone book. You don't have to read the previous book and novella to have a great reading experience. But I'll bet you'll want to read her other books once you've read this one.

Three cheers for Rowena Cherry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, January 19, 2007

By	Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is the sequel to "Forced Mate". It picks up where the last novel left off. Prince Djetthro-Jason is the captive of Emperor Tarrant-Arragon. (Tarrant-Arragon was the hero in "Forced Mate".) Prince Djetthro-Jason is allowed to live; however, he must wed Princess Martia-Djulia, the Emperor's sister. Djetth has no problem with that! He enjoyed one outstanding and explosive night in bed with the princess before. Of course, the princess knew him as Commander Jason instead of as Prince Djetthro-Jason. But there is a twist this time around. The prince is not allowed to reveal that he is the man she fell in love/lust with. He must woo her all over again.

Princess Martia-Djulia would never forget the night she spent with Commander Jason. In fact, that entire night has been forever burned into her heart and soul. She refuses to love another. She even runs out during her (forced) wedding ceremony. Bad idea! Her brother, Tarrant-Arragon, makes a bold move and shoots down the vehicle in which Djetth and Martia are traveling in. She finds herself stranded on a deserted island with a man she wants nothing to do with. Strangely enough, there seems to be wild life on the island that is not native to it. Then again, who really cares? At least they will not starve. But in order to survive, the two must learn to work together. All the while, Emperor Tarrant-Arragon keeps a close eye on the pair.

***** First off let me say that even though this book is part of a series, it can still be read as a stand alone story. But this book takes on a much deeper meaning for the readers who did enjoy the previous novel, FORCED MATE.

I simply could not stay mad at Emperor Tarrant-Arragon for the stunts he pulls on this couple since I understand the reasoning behind his actions. More is going on than I state in the synopsis above too! My problem is that I could not think of a way to tell about any of it without giving something vital away. So you will simply have to read in order to find out what the sub-plot is. Those of you who enjoy a lot of spice in your space opera, such as I do, will find yourself backtracking a few times and rereading various sections. If you do not like hot, steamy, memorable flavors in your tea, I suggest you pass the kettle on to someone who does. Excellent adventure and highly recommended! *****
