From Booklist
Commander Jason's true identity as Prince Djetthro-Djason has been uncovered, and he's forced to mate with the ruling prince's sister, Martia-Djulia. But this is not the punishment it seems. Though Djetth and Martia's one night of passion was mistakenly triggered by another's scent, Djetth is rather fond of his high-maintenance bride-to-be. Unfortunately, she's pining for his presumed dead alter ego--if only he can convince her she can love him regardless of his name. "Spunky" isn't often used to describe older heroines, but everything good about the word is perfect for Martia-Djulia, who acts as a wonderful foil to Djetth's unconventional courtship in this sequel to Forced Mate (2004). Cherry's decidedly British and sometimes brash sense of humor won't be everyone's cup of tea. Yet there's an allure to her characters and futuristic land, with an ever-evolving story of palace intrigue and secretive pasts, that keeps readers wanting more. Nina Davis

Customer Reviews

A romantic, breathtaking escape from reality, with some hot erotic moments and a fast paced plot.
With a new identity, honour bound Tiger Prince, Jeth, (Djethro-Jason) finds himself at his own mating day with none other than his sweetheart Princess, Martia-Djulia. But what is the problem with that, I hear you ask? Were they not made for each other? Unfortunately, that is the problem as Jeth cannot reveal who he really is as much as he'd love to. When one thing leads to another they both flee their public mating ritual in disgust, only to have their space craft shot down on planet An'Koor. Who would benefit from almost killing them?

Unbeknown to the couple, they are imprisoned on Freighter Island as part of a plan to force them to breed, as they should have done during their mating day. Stranded on this beautiful island with no one else to talk to you'd think it would be easy to woo Martia-Djulia, and believe me, Jeth tries! The pampered princess, however, is having none of what she believes to be an uncouth stranger's advances. She will not take off her designer dress for anyone! Even if it is wet and ruined. And so, their turbulent, but entertaining relationship evolves.

Insufficient Mating Material is a sequel to Forced Mate, and author, Rowena Cherry, cleverly rockets the science fiction and romance sub-genre into the stratosphere, igniting passion, burning desires and explosive family secrets along the way. It's full steam ahead, and quite a bumpy ride for our main characters, where love collides in the most alien of worlds and a plot like this keeps you suspended in time and space. There's absolutely no escape until the final conclusion has been revealed.

A romantic, breathtaking escape from reality, with some hot erotic moments and a fast paced plot. A good example of what can be done with this sub-genre. I loved it!

Terrific, funny futuristic romance
INSUFFICIENT MATING MATERIAL begins where FORCED MATE ends - with the issue of Djinni's jilted fiancée, Djetthro-Jason. He and Martia-Djulia (Tigger's sister) got it on in the first novel, but he does not know if he loves her and wishes to marry her. Marsh thinks her lover died and is not willing to accept a replacement. Tigger, ever practical, shoots their ship down - forcing them to be marooned together on a well-stocked tropical island.

Meanwhile, someone wants to kill the Princess. Of course, Djetth's grandmother and Marsh's mother have something to say about that. They set out to prove just how dangerous little old ladies can be. The characters all come together in a wonderful climatic scene, where the bad, bad man gets what he deserves.

what a nutty delightful book!
Cherry is clearly Brit, and what a delightful find. This book is just so different that catches you off guard. I received it and Forced Mate in a box of books for Christmas (with a note "read it, you will love it"), and thought Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I am not into space/Sci-fi adventures, but after I ran through the books that I wanted, I moved to this. And how wickedly wonderful this book is. I suppose I shall need to rethink my not liking this genre. Cherry has a droll, dead bang humour that had me laughing aloud. Actually, my sides ached from laughing. I think I really needed to go back and read Forced Mate first, but I cannot say how much I enjoyed this very original book. Hoping there shall be more D-books coming?
