Summary: This was one of Dara Joy's BEST!
Review: I Loved this book. The first book I read by Dara was High Energy. I then had to wait up to 7 months to find Knight. Boy was it worth every moment of searching. Does anybody know when Traed's story is coming out? God, I hope it s soon!!!!!

Summary: A Fantasy Come True!
Review: I read Rejar first, then couldn't get "Knight" for 3 agonizing months until the publisher reprinted. Thank God they did! What a treat-this book is pure sizzle and a lot of great humor. Read it, read it, READ IT!! I can't wait until Dara Joy finally writes Traed's story!!

Summary: Nights of Trillion Stars was great! I want more!
Review: Dara Joy was able to capture my attention in the first chapter and I continued to read until the end. I couldn't put it down. Dara Joy has a writing style that is strong, interesting, creative and I have enjoyed all of her books. I hope everyone will enjoy her books as much as I have. I can only hope Dara Joy will come out with another Futuristic Romance

Summary: A journey to another world that is well worth the price
Review: This book came when I was ready for another world -- even the past did not seem far enough away. The book provides a trip to a world that I would want to return to again when this one becomes a bit too stressful; the hero is handsome, overbearing in a tolerable way, and totally devoted to the heroine --- as all good romantic heroes should be. The path to love doesn't run smoothly, but it does run entertainingly. Poor Deana finds herself married without her knowledge or consent, told that she has powers she does not recognize or understand, and still manages to triumph. I have since waited in greatest anticipation for anything else Ms. Joy can manage to write. I have not been disappointed. She takes the tried and true of this world and creates a world of her own in more ways than one. Even my friends who are not into futuristic romance have enjoyed this one

Summary: Sexy
Review: I just loved it! then I had to find "Rejar" and "Mine To Take." This is my fav of all Dara Joy's. I mostly read historicals (paranormals aren't my 'thing').
As an 'old' Johanna Lindsey fan, I liked her 1st furturistic romance. So, I thought I'd try this while the mood was still there. I didn't much enjoy DJ's contemporarys (High Energy etc.), though her writing is certainly juicy.

Summary: My fav of Dara Joy's.
Review: Find "Rejar" and "Mine To Take" - you'll want to read them next. Paranormals aren't my thing, but I thought I'd try this. It's like Star Wars meets a Johanna Lindsey novel. Loved it! I didn't enjoy DJ's contemporarys (High Energy etc.) though her writing is always sexy.

Summary: Amateurish
Review: I am baffled by the positive reviews for this book. I have read other books by this author, and found them to be OK, but I had to put this one down half way through.
The problem is the writing - it's atrocious. And I mean, I've read freshman comp papers that were written better than this book. The prose is amateurish at best, just plain inept at worst. For example, there are way too many adverbs, and many of them don't make sense. Everything seems to happen amazingly, unbelievably, or surprisingly; even things that aren't especially amazing, ubelievable, or surprising.
Moreover, the paragraphs meander, repeating themselves frequently. Just when it seems that a train of thought has been completed and should receive some conclusion, it begins again, almost as though the author lost her place and forgot she already said all that.
The characterization and plotting offer few redeeming features. The author does have a gift for describing gorgeous men, but it's not enough to save this book. I mean, a strange man breaks into the heroine's home and claims to be an alien, and she finds she has no choice but to believe he is telling the truth. After about five minutes. Because he briefly shows her a holographic doohicky of some sort. Worse, she reaches this conclusion with about as much surprise as she might have shown had he claimed to be the UPS man.
I think the author was going for a sort of modern, wry heroine with a self-effacing sense of humor, but it just didn't come off. In fact, she had no distinguishable character at all, and I had to keep guessing what kind of person the author was trying to convey. So it just looked bizarre when she threw in statements like the fact that the heroine didn't know who this Yaniff "dude" was. "Dude?"
Overall, the characters never came to life, and the plot moved haltingly and in a plodding, unnatural manner, as if the author were constantly just pushing through to the next scene or plot turn.
I don't think even mildly discriminating readers will like this book, although I would still recommend the other books in the series, which are much better.

Summary: A waste of time and money
Review: This book was such a waste of my time and money. The problems began within the first pages. Ms. Joy must be a big Star Wars fan. The chacter names, their weapons(a light saber???), the Yoda knock off!!! Give me a break!!! If that wasn't bad enough Deana was an unbelievible chacter. First is her reaction to finding a strange man in her livng room. She doesn't freak out too much and when she finds out that he is from another plant what does she do?? She takes him on vacation with her because according to Lorgin he can't leave her side. Totally unbelievible!!! Lorgin is a jerk and I didn't like him one bit. He was quick to anger and constantly used sex to control Deana. If she step out of line and questioned him he became angry and had sex with her. I dislike weak female chacters who can be controlled by sex. On the rare occassions that Deena did act like she had a brain. All Lorgin had to do was strip her and have sex and that has the end of that. This was my first Dara Joy book and unless I can read another free at the library it will be my last.
Also this magical quest that Lorgin was on was never really explained and the ending was very anticlimatic.
