REJAR is the second book in the Matrix of Destiny series and begins where KNIGHT OF A TRILLION STARS left off, with Rejar thrown through vortexes. The sexy Familiar (a species that can take 2 shapes - human or cat) lands in Ree Gen Cee Ing Land (Regency England), straight into the lap of Lilac (he's in cat form of course). Left slightly disorientated following his dimensional journey it takes several days for Rejar to realise that Lilac is his destined mate. With this revelation, the love hunt begins.
Lilac's world has been turned upside down. Along with the abrupt arrival of her new black cat with different coloured eyes, she suddenly has two men in her life. One is a wonderfully handsome dream lover with dual coloured eyes and the other is Nikolai, the new society sensation and strangely enough another man with dual coloured eyes, a mysterious prince intent on pursuing her. It is here that the story loses some of its impact. The hints that Nikolai, the cat and the dream lover are all one and the same person are pretty obvious and when Lilac fails to make this connection the reader is left feeling that she's not too bright (despite her reputation as a bluestocking). Further fault can be found with her attitude towards Rejar once she learns the truth of his otherwordly existence. What a wimp!!! These flaws however can be overlooked as we also have absolutely fantastic secondary characters; Traed (my hero), Lorgin, sly old Yaniff and Aunt Agatha (Lilac's guardian and possible future love interest for the wily old wizard perhaps).
Rejar is a man/cat to die for. In both forms he is playful yet predatory and very lusty but unbelieveably romantic. REJAR is yet another book by JOY which proves difficult to get hold of and it's obvious why. This book is a definite keeper and fans of lighthearted and wonderful romance rightly refuse to reinquish their copies.
