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.
