Summary: Her best yet!
Review: I read tons of romance novels (I have a long train commute and go through a book every two days) and this is the best I've read in a long while. Knight of a Trillion Stars was wonderful and I couldn't wait for Rejar to get his own book. I wasn't disappointed! Dara Joy has a great gift for writing characters (primary and secondary) and giving them depth. Her secondary characters are full-bodied people and the world they inhabit is extraordinary. She can also weave social commentary into her plots - unheard of in the romance genre - in a way that is witty and right on target. Excellent Read!

Summary: Purrfect follow-on to a purrfect book
Review: Once again Dara has writen another purfect book in REJAR. He is the most provocatively sexy man/cat. Lilac is absolutely purfect for him. The sex scenes(of which there is a lot) are red hot. It wears you out just reading them. Aunt Agatha is a darling. She would be ideal for Yaniff. Some readers have already sugested this as a future story in the series and I think they are right. Traed makes another welcome return in the book which is wonderful. I can't wait for his story which is 4th. in the series. Gian Ren's story is next(3rd). I have just finished it and it is another wonderful story. Please Dara write Traed's story fast, we can't wait for it. Well done on another great book.

Summary: A FEAST FOR THE SENSES
Review: This is a superbly written book with the unique twist of combining Regency England with a science fiction sub-plot. The characters are so well engineered that they almost jump off the pages. I always feel like I am watching a movie when reading one of Dara Joy's books, which is a great compliment to her talent. Rejar is a simply wonderful, unforgettable character who steals your heart. Underneath his wild cat ways beat a sensitive kind heart that will have you aching to stoke this kitty. I enjoyed watching his relationship with Lilac, a true Regency miss, flourish and grow and I have a feeling we will see more of this relationship in future books. I can't wait to see what she does with this story or any story she writes. She has become my favorite author and I treasure each and every one of her books.

Summary: Slightly better than its prequel
Review: Rejar from Knight of a Trillion Stars goes to Regency England. In the previous book, he was fun. In this, his own book, he becomes as arrogant and repulsive as his brother, Lorgin. The heroine in this book, Lilac, has several more watts of brainpower than Deanna, for all the good it does her. Lilac is still more of a dim bulb than even the average romance heroine. It's still okay to Dara Joy to humiliate and degradate her heroines. Dara Joy heroes always treat the heroine like a dog on a leash, dragging her here and there, telling her what to do: "Stand up, sit down, good girl." Dara Joy heroes also have a bad habit of constantly telling a heroine that he just knows she lusts after him. He knows all, even if he's an alien visitor to earth, and the heroine knows absolutely nothing, not even her own mind. Protest any of this arrogance? How dare the woman do that? What little protests arise from the females don't last long and can easily be conquered with a leer or a sneer. If that's not bad enough, this author thinks we're supposed to find it romantic when Rejar rapes Lilac, but it's not. It's not enough for a hero in a romance book to be beautiful, physically...um...fit, and sexually obsessed. If he cannot prove he's caring and loving, at least with the heroine, he's not worth the paper he's written on. Rejar had so many possibilities that he never gets a chance to live up to--and that is a tragedy.

Summary: Fall into my lap any day
Review: Whoever says that this book is badishly freaky must be numb from the head down. This is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. I have read all of Dara's books but the new one high intensity. She knows how to make it sizzle. She has a great talent for writing. The story contains an out of this world plot, (literally). There are no boundries. Whoever says that this book of freaky has no imagination. I won't give away the plot or anything else but you have to read the books in order or you won't understand what is going on half the time. It is a best buy H - O - T - T HOTTTTTTTT!

Summary: If you hate sappy romances, check this one out!
Review: I was very new to the romance genre when I came across Dara Joy. Since, then I had the pleasure of meeting the woman behind Rejar. This book is pure, sensual fun! A must read for anyone wanting a little escapism and fun. Sheer joy! Rejar is lucious, unpredictable and a change from the typical hero. His character is full of depth and conviction. It's definitely a book about him and the herione takes a back seat. It has to be that way you create such a powerful and vivid character. I don't know what's more fun reading it over and over or trying to cast the characters in a movie version. Oh how I wish for it to be.......

Summary: purrrrrrrrrr
Review: I thought this was a wonderful book. A very well written and interesting novel like the rest in the trilogy. It is about a Femar ( a male that can turn into a cat) and a young woman that finds him as a cat and learns that once she took in the cat a strange, yet exotic man appears in her life. Very seductive and sexy Rejar invades her mind and body, doing anything to make her his. he uses his sensuality and prowless in bed to seduce her. Read this book, and learn what other "special" powers that rejar is of capable. It was a very good book, and the plot never ceased to bore me like many others do.

Summary: Give me a sexy cat-like man any day!
Review: This story is really just the first installment in what looks like will be an on-going storyline about Rejar. The Matrix of Destiny series began in Knight of a Trillion Stars, where the hero is Rejar's brother, and Rejar is in about half of the book having sexual escapades with any woman who'll have him, so it's best to read that book before Rejar's own book. At the end of that book, Rejar had disappeared in some time/space tunnels. At the beginning of Rejar, the hero pops out of the tunnels in Regency England, in his cat form (he's a Familiar, which means he shapechanges from human male to cat, and also mean he's extremely sexy and sexual) and immediately befriends Lilac, the woman whose lap he falls on. Lucky her! He ends up being taken on as both her dream man (where he is the man who sexually entices her in what she thinks are dreams), her pet cat, and her insufferable would-be beau. For Rejar's part, he is not used to feeling attached to one woman, but when he falls, he falls hard. He's just worried that Lilac won't love him for all of him - including his Familiar characteristics, and his connection to his home universe. I liked the mix in this book of the familiar setting of Regency England, and a couple of characters who saw the complete absurdity of it all because they were from a planet far far away (as some would say). The difference between the different characters' values and cultural mores come across in this book and are explored by the hero and heroine in depth. Some things about the book did not quite jell, though. The heroine did not come off as Rejar's equal. She is an overly prim, proper, independent miss and I could never figure out why Rejar was so enamored of her. Other characters from the Matrix of Destiny pop in and out of this book, and I found myself being more interested in their story at times than the love story that is the focus of the book. Further, some of the secondary storylines are not fully explored even though they are more compelling than the main ones - for example, Rejar's brother Traed is in this book from about 1/3rd of the way in. But we don't really learn much about his motivation. Leona, an unhappy but very sexy widow, is explored a little, but we are left hanging as to her relationship with Traed, and the conclusion of her story. Wondering what is going on with these other characters took away some of the enjoyment I might otherwise have had of Rejar and Lilac's storyline. So if you're in for a very sexy, sex-filled fantasy meets Regency romp, and you are willing to put up with an undeserving heroine to read about an out-of-this-world hero, you will love this book. But we warned - the ending of this book is the ending of the story about Rejar's relationship with Lilac (in that they of course end up together and happy), but it is by no means the end of Rejar's development as a person and as a leader - that comes in the 7 books that will follow this in the series.

Summary: Ah... what a Cat, or is that a Man?
Review: REJAR, truly Sexy, lusty man...well sometimes. I don't do "Regencys" & almost skipped this book, it was only that Dara Joy wrote it made me buy it. Wow! am I ever glad I did. It takes up where Trillion Stars stopped. I am pleased how it was stressed just how awful that time period was. I like the female lead Lilac, & her Aunt... but as with all Ms. Joy's books the "MALE" stole my heart.... here kitty, kitty... enJOY!

Summary: Enjoyable
Review: I liked the writing in the book a lot, as well as they inventive love scenes, however I did find parts of it irritating. 1. Could the heroine have been any less intelligent? She was so painfully stupid that it wore on my nerves. She also had no purpose in life or in the book other than to be Rejar's bedmate. He was SO attracted to her and yet we never knew why. 2. Rejar was a wonderful hero, but I felt that his brother undercut him. Why wasn't Rejar the one to dispatch the villain? It made him look so weak that he left it to his brothers to take care of him. 3. When Lorgin came to take him home, I found his reason for staying laughable. C'mon, if you're from an advanced civilization and were told you might only get one shot to return home EVER or you'd be trapped in Regency London, wouldn't you at least CONSIDER the repercussions? 4. I also felt like too much time was spent on other characters and not enough developing Rejar and Lilac. 5. The ending really aggravated me! I won't give it away except to say there wasn't one. It's a cliff-hanger like Empire Strikes Back and like Lucas, she seems to be waiting a decade before we actually get the ending. I hate that feeling. When I read, I want a conclusion. Other than that though, the book is pleasant enough. You get quite a few laughs and steamy situations. Not a waste of time, but not really a keeper in my book either.
