Nothing but sex, Aug 10 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Rejar (Timeswept) (Mass Market Paperback)
It seemes to me that the author didn't have enough words to finsih the story so all she did was throw in a couple extra love scens. I have nothing against them, but really they weren't that good. I've read a lot of romances some with not sex some that were noting but porn dressed up a little. This book falls in between. Not good but not really bad. There were a few parts that I really liked but overall get it from the library before you spend your money.

Not worth the money spent, Jun 19 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Rejar (Timeswept) (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read all 3 of the Matrix of Destiny books and have to say, of the 3 this is the worst. That is a stretch considering the other 2 aren't particularly good either. Mine to Take was the best of the 3 and I'd only give it 3 stars.

Cats Rule! Fun reading!, Jun 11 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Rejar (Timeswept) (Mass Market Paperback)
I am reading Dara Joy's fantasy series all out of order, yet loving them. This is (I believe) the second book and I actually liked it better than a later one I read -- I loved Rejar, a "familiar" who's altered form is a cat. He was cool as an odd-eyed cat and stunning as an odd-eyed man. Totally an Alpha-male type so if your bent does not run that direction, stay away. I did feel that Rejar was a little too forceful at times and some sex scenes were not sensual but almost violent. I did like the many "cat" references and the little licks Rejar gave Lilac when she stirred while he was sleeping. Since he was sprawled all over her (just like a cat) the little licks by her ears were to comfort and settle her. Cute!
Although many reviewers did not like Lilac, I did. She was not very bold but I don't think a man like Rejar would have endured a woman who stood up to him, "soul/life" mate or not. This was after all Regency England and not a modern society. She really did not like Nickolai (aka Rejar) and was as rejecting as she could be. Forced into marriage, Lilac relishes the sexual awakening but guards her heart. Of course a crisis (illness) forces both Rejar and Lilac to reexamine their feelings and admit love for each other.
The secondary characters (Traed and Aunt Agatha) were interesting though not really well fleshed out. What did Jack the bottle green dressed groomsman/coachman add to this story? Anyway, all in all a fun story to read - very light on storyline, sometimes confusing when descriptions of Rejar's real world is mentioned. (I DO hate the name Rejar - though pronounced Ray-jhar, I still keep thinking he was interrupted during a canning process and had to be re-jarred??) Others will most likely enjoy meeting people from earlier books which I have on my list to find and read. I hope Traed's story is one of the books I have missed. Fun afternoon reading!
