Futuristic Science Fiction Romance, very explicit, *not* BDSM. "Forced Mate" is a chess term. The first in a proposed series by this author. One of the most inventive, imaginative worlds I have have come across, and I love science fiction. The author has a short story ebook prequel that explains the setting somewhat. It's available for $3 at http://www.newconceptspublishing.com/ - The second novel, "Insufficient Mating Material" will be out January 31, 2007.

By all the Lechers of Antiquity, what is a god-Emperor to do when his chosen mate is caught on tape speculating that he is a brute and a bore in bed? Renowned for his sexual prowess all over the galaxy, Prince Tarrant-Arragon has a reputation for depravity to keep up, even if the reality of his private life is a far different story. His personal inclination would be to woo his intended with charm and wit, but politics and Tigron tradition call for abduction followed by swift consummation. Embarking on a skilled seduction, Tarrant-Arragon feels confident in his ability to take his queen. But he hasn’t counted on the unpredictability of his little Earthling or the startling fact that she would make a pawn of his own heart.

I had trouble really getting into the hero, he didn't seem to have the lovable quality of most heroes. Did improve towards the end, but not quite as mich as I would have hoped.

I don't generally read science fiction, but had seen good reviews of this book. While it took me awhile to figure out all the alien characters, and I kept having to refer to the chart in front of the book, the story kept me interested. Djinni doesn't realize that the captor she's falling in love with is her sworn enemy Prince Tarrant-Arragon. But, he may not be as ferocious as his enemies claim.

I didn't care for this. I continually forced myself to keep reading just to finish the book. I never made it. Halfway through, I finally gave up. There are just too many books to read.

I enjoyed this scifi romance with Djinns and a feisty female character. The chess reference was funny. The mind reading wasn't as interesting a characteristic like it is in Charlene Harris' books. I'm hoping to find another book by this author, because it was an entertaining read.

This was my 1st Sci-Fi romance. A little different from what I usually read but I found it very interesting. Will look for more.
