Rating:  Summary: Oh, it could have been so good! Review: It's a pity Lilac always acted so awfully towards Rejar, without any reason. Upon meeting Rejar, she hates him. Just like that, out of the blue. She complains he's arrogant, he's stupid, whatever. Actually it's an interesting, funny and sensual read, not to mention the wonderful hero. But everything is spoiled by this childish and stupid girl. I can't call "romance" a book where the heroine realizes the hero is a good man and feels affection for him (not only for his lovemaking) only 14 pages before the end, and just because he saved her life!
Rating:  Summary: Beats the pants off "Ritual of Proof"! Review: Man oh man! I want a cat like Rejar...I like this book. It is well-written, funny as all get-out and STEAMY. This is my second Dara Joy gig. I read "Ritual of Proof", and although that one has an interesting hook, "Rejar" beats the pants off it all-hollow. READ THIS BOOK!!!!
Rating:  Summary: 2nd in Matrix of Destiny Series-Hot! Review: This is one of Dara Joy's hottest books and best heroes in my opinion. Take a mischevious, rakish, shapeshifter who's gorgeous and not used to denying himself any sexual satifaction, and drop him in the middle of Regency England. Give him a fascination for a virginal Regency miss and watch the fur fly! It's funny! It's a great read! It's got some secondary characters you'll fall in love with as well. Definitely a must read if you like romance tied to Fantasy. Dara Joy just gets better.
Rating:  Summary: Just okay..... Review: This was a pretty good one, I guess. I didn't like it as much as DJ's 'A Knight Of A Trillion Stars' though. I had a problem with the fact (like so many other novels I've read) that the heroine was so obnoxious to the hero that I don't see why he kept trying with her. However, it did have a number of fun scenes in it, some really good secondary characters, and very hot love scenes. I would almost suggest reading it though just for the scene (no spoiler!) at the 'afternoon of embroidery'... ohmygosh.... I laughed out loud!!!
Rating:  Summary: Good read but ended a little rushed! Review: This was the first Dara Joy book I have read. I love Familiar books and this was a really good, quick read book. I would have given 5 stars except, I felt the story gets carried into many not important areas at the beginning so that when the end came I felt it was rushed. Recommended for anyone who truly loves this type of story.
Rating:  Summary: Not my cup of tea! Review: I thought I would give this book a try after reading all the reviews, but half way through the book i have realised that such bizzare story lines don't appeal to me. The only saving grace is that it is a fast read. I didn't even find the [book] as hot as some of the reviewers suggested, that too was a big disappointment
Rating:  Summary: Meow!!! Review: Loved it! Mysterious cat shows up in bedroom and watches all your movements, mysterious man, the same. Steamy stuff. I love Dara Joy's catman books.
Rating:  Summary: this one is a keeper! Review: Rejar is an absolutely must keep book. The struggle Rejar has with Regency England is funny and provocative. Oh, ladies TURN UP THE AC. It is amazing just what a little imagination can do.
Rating:  Summary: A funny, light-hearted romp with a twist :) Review: I originally submitted this review in 1997 (before Amazon created the About You Page) and am resubmitting it under my public account as directed by Amazon's Customer Service. The original review will be deleted via Amazon. In Dara Joy's 1996 release Knight of A Trillion Stars we were introduced to the lovable and very arrogant Rejar. KOATS ended with quite the cliffhanger and after waiting for what seemed like an eternity we finally learn the sexy Familiar's fate in Rejar. Rejar, after tumbling through space for several months, finds himself tossed into a strange place called Regency England where he lands nearly in the lap of a most luscious female specimen. He decides this smelly world that offends all of his senses might not be quite so bad after all! Lilac Devere was minding her own business when a handsome cat enters her carriage and settles in like he owns it. Despite her Aunt's warnings she takes this arrogant creature home and gets much more than she bargained for. Rejar is a familiar from the futuristic planet Aviara. He's a descendent of a race of people who can change into the form of a cat whenever they wish. Along with their shape changing abilities familiars also have heightened senses, telepathic powers and extraordinary sensual appetites. However, once they meet their life mate and become bonded familiar's have an unshakable sense of devotion and never stray (remember this is a fantasy, folks :). Rejar observes life on this strange planet and quickly learns that the only way to survive the brutal scrutiny of the ton is to create a persona they will fawn over. Using his powers of suggestion, he convinces Lord Byron that he is a Russian Prince and quickly becomes the most sought after man in Regency England. He's a man all of the women want but he is only attracted to the one whom he curls up with each night. The one who believes he is nothing more than a cat. But, arrogant fellow tha the his, he knows once she meets him in the flesh she'll fall head over heels in love with him. Needless to say he's in for quite a shock when Lilac gets rip roaring mad and slaps his handsome face when he innocently states his intentions to "have" her. This only makes Rejar all the more determined to make her his. After all no woman has ever refused him! Just what kind of planet has he landed on? When he realizes that Lilac is fated to be his life mate and he comes to the realization that he isn't winning her over with his stunning sex appeal he tries every trick he can think of to win her love. Dara Joy has created a magnificent hero with Rejar. Anyone who has ever been owned by a feline will certainly understand and laugh out loud at his arrogant demeanor. His compassionate nature won my heart and while I didn't always agree with his tactics I realized he just couldn't help his sexy self. The only problem I had with this story was the heroine. While Rejar was a well rounded character I found Lilac to be rather self-centered and uncompromising. The girl also had no curiosity. I think a hero as wonderful as Rejar deserved better. But, hey, maybe I'm just being catty. In Lilac's defense, I did enjoy her openness which made for some great laugh out loud scenes. I really enjoyed REJAR for its bawdy and tender humor, scorching sensuality and unique storyline and highly recommend it to those searching for something a little different from the norm. Although this is a sequel it is not necessary to read the prequel, Knight of a Trillion Stars, first (although it is a spectacular book!). I'm looking forward to the next installment in this series when we will hopefully learn more about Rejar's brother Traed and the planet Aviara
Rating:  Summary: I want, I want, I want! Review: Rejar is soo delightfully wicked, I looked around to see if I could find him. Sad to say he only exist in the pages of a Dara Joy masterpiece. Setting it in Regency England was like getting a diamond in a box of chocolates for me. And his little honey was everything a heroine should be. Brave, bold, and absolutely clueless when it comes to sex and her man's dirty mind. All I can say at the end of this book is "Here Kitty-Kitty."
