ROWENA CHERRY ♥♥
♥♥
Rowena Cherry's youth was spent on the
tiny British island of Guernsey: a mystical, idyllic setting with
its prehistoric earth-goddess, historic Martello towers, underground
gun emplacements, and legends of faery men. Having
been a school chess champion and winner of the Duke of Edinburgh's
Gold Award, Rowena went to ancient Cambridge University for her
four-year combined honors degree in English and Education, after
which she taught at exclusive boarding schools, first in Dorset,
then in London.
Eventually Rowena met and married her
auto designer husband, who whirled her off to Germany to live the
glamorous life of an alien abroad. Reassigned to America, she rode
beside her husband in pace cars at the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400
and has flown in corporate jets to exotic locations.
Her
fast-paced life so far has been fantastic inspiration for romance
novel scenarios and alien-world building.
Rowena lives in Michigan with her
husband and daughter.

Knight's Fork
From Dorchester
Publishing, Coming Soon
Rowena Cherry is a brilliant writer. Blending humor and romance
is much harder then most people believe and she does it effortlessly. 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. This novel has it all and I would
recommend it to everyone.
“Carpe Scrotum.
Seize Life by the Testicles.” —Electra-Djerroldina
The Queen Consort of the Volnoth needs
a sperm donor, and only one green-eyed god has the right stuff.
Little does she know she has pinned all her hopes on the crown
jewels of the fabled Royal Saurian Djinn. Not only is he the son
of her greatest enemy, but he has taken a vow of chastity.
“When forced to choose between two evils, pick the one you’ve
never tried before.… SEX.” —’Rhett
The Saurian Knight is caught between a
problem father who has all the moral integrity of a Mafia Don,
and a married Princess who would stop at nothing to have his
seed in her belly. No matter which way he turns, he’s “forked.”
“Why would a male both hope for and fear a lover?
…Ah! Inexperience perhaps?” —Tarrant-Arragon
Taking the wrong lover…in the wrong place, at
the wrong time…is dangerous. And when the High and Mighty
intervene, it can be fatal. Can true love and a pure White
Knight’s virtue triumph, when society loves a right royal
scandal?
4 Stars.
FORCED MATE is a highly unique, funny and
sexy read. This is an author with a
bright future ~ Jill M Smith,
reviewer Romantic Times
“A total hoot…one
of the best and funniest Sci-Fi Romances
I’ve read.” ~Linnea Sinclair, RITA
award-winner
By all the
Lechers of Antiquity, what is a god-Emperor to do
when his chosen mate is caught on tape speculating
that he is a brute and a bore in bed? Renowned for
his sexual prowess all over the galaxy, Prince
Tarrant-Arragon has a reputation for depravity to
keep up, even if the reality of his private life is
a far different story. His personal inclination
would be to woo his intended with charm and wit, but
politics and Tigron tradition call for abduction
followed by swift consummation. Embarking on a
skilled seduction, Tarrant-Arragon feels confident
in his ability to take his queen. But he hasn’t
counted on the unpredictability of his little
Earthling or the startling fact that she would make
a pawn of his own heart.

Reviews and Quotes:
Rowena Cherry is one of the
best sub-genre writers due to her skill at placing the heroic characters
in impossible scenarios.
~ Harriet Klausner, Affaire de
Coeur
I really like Cherry's writing;
it is literate and fast moving, with active imagery, and it challenges
the reader.

Angel Reviews
"A racy, wildly entertaining,
futuristic romance" ~ Writers Write
Shot down for failing to
mate in public and marooned on an island with a princess, Djetth discovers that
when a Tiger prince is honor bound to hide his true identity, when his best
seductive tool bears a damning tattoo and his life is in danger, survival is
about more than making out.
But even in the wicked Tigron Empire, who would dare to attack a royal princess
and her consort? So what if she had rejected his hand and turned her pretty nose
up at his other princely parts? With the aid of two exiled empresses, some
misplaced guitar glue, and a talent for disguises, he will prove his worth as a
mate.

M Brown, Romantic Times
Her lures were intended for a prince,
but a ruthless Emperor netted her…
What is an ambitious young princess to do when she finds herself
irrevocably married to the wrong god? What is her jilted fiancé to do?
Prince Devoron-Vitan, supreme commander of the Tigron Empire's star
forces, wants to go home and find out what the starblazes is going on.
In one short gestate, his twin brother Djohn-Kronos has killed their
father, taken the throne, nullified all existing royal betrothals, and
started a war.
Why a war? If there had ever been a good reason for killing republicans
and democrats, he’d like to hear it. Then, rumors reach Devoron-Vitan
that Djohn-Kronos intends to catch Devoron-Vitan's fiancée—Helispeta—in
his MATING NET
