Review:
A dash of alien abductions, a splash of an unknown futuristic world, a healthy dose of occult and lo and behold before you can say “Shazam” you have a futuristic romance filled with chess analogies. <b>KNIGHT'S FORK</b>, which lives up to it’s name, tells the story of the wooing of a Royal Saurian Djinn, Djarrhett by a reluctant adulteress Electra-Djerroldina, Queen of a lesser alien race but still full-blooded Djinnie.
The plot redolent with occult, mythological, and chess imagery not to mention many puns on the words Djinn and Gene progresses as the hero as heroine are brought together by manipulative relatives and impossible pressure but find wish fulfillment escaping their manipulative Djinn relative’s catch to the wish-fulfillment.
Identifying the puns and laughing over how opposites attracts makes for quite a LoveSpell (pun intended!!!!).

Rowena Cherry is a brilliant writer. Blending humor and romance is much harder then most people believe and she does it effortlessly. Her third Djinn novel is an excellent example. KNIGHT'S FORK had me laughing from the first chapter all the way to the end.
Rhett is a hot and smart leading man that had me thinking of old Carry Grant movies and some of the great one-liners he delivered on the silver screen. Electra is an intelligent, beautiful woman who captures the reader's heart from page one. These two are thrust together through a series of hysterical misadventures that lead to a sizzling romance.
