It has finally happened, the confrontation between the great Tarrant-Arragon and Prince Djetthro-Jason, aka—Commander Jason over Djinni-vera. Sadly Djetthro-Jason comes out on the loosing end of this fight and needs surgery to repair a shatter jaw and messed up leg. But to top it off, before all the male testosterone escalated into a fight, a then Commander Jason had gotten the rut rage and had wild sex with Tarrant-Arragon’s sister, Princess Martia-Djulia. This was all caught on tape and now, Jason who has a scar down his face, will have it surgically removed, as well as repairing his injuries from the fight.
After nearly two months of sucking through a straw and not healing well, Jason is expected to walk down the isle to marry Princess Martia-Djulia (forced would be a more correct term). She fell for the big, virile and dangerously sexy Commander Jason, but now, she is getting married to—unbeknownst to her—Prince Djetthro-Jason. A weak, limping, bald, and pencil thin prince that is totally unappealing to her. She does not recognize him and runs off refusing to marry this unknown and unattractive prince.
Neither of these two will have much choice in the matter as Tarrant-Arragon maroons them on an island, where they will have to depend on each other to live and survive, finding common ground to become hopefully enamored to one another. One pampered princess and a forcefully commanding prince will have their hands full trying to cope and deal without the comforts of their former lives.
Insufficient Mating Material is by author Rowena Cherry. Ms. Cherry takes a different approach in penning this Djinn tale. There is less emphasis on big, aggressive oversexed characters in this novel. Instead, Ms. Cherry uses knowledgeable information, parlaying it into an entertaining tale of two unlikely individuals finding deeper meaning and trust between each other.
This reviewer advises that you read Forced Mate before reading Insufficient Mating Material to enhance your understanding of the visiting characters that pop up here and there in this book and some of the references that are not explained in detail.
