Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
New in the national bestselling Sons of Destiny series, hailed by Jayne Ann Krentz as “wildly entertaining.”
Amara is wary of mages––they chased her out of her homeland. Yet there is something about the mage Trevan of Nightfall that Amara can’t resist. But can he be trusted with her most fiercely guarded secret? Courting such a pretty yet prickly outlander won’t be easy, but Trevan is determined to try. She may be fierce, proud, and from a different culture, but after all, he is the Cat, and none but the most fascinating and challenging of women could satisfy him…

I love these stories. Jean Johnson is an awesome writer. She knows how to pull you in and keep you quessing on what's going to happen next. I look forward to reading the rest of these books in the series.

Trevan Corvis is the fifth born son of Jean Johnson's Sons of Destiny series and he is fascinated with Amara, an outlander new to Nightfall and also a shape-changer. Wooing Amara is proving to be difficult not just for her ability to avoid Trevan but her reasons behind it. Amara distrusts mages and even though there is something about Trevan that draws her to him, she can't get past what he is. Trevan is quite aware it will take more than his charm to get past Amara's defenses, and he pulling out all the stops.
The Cat is a very lively installment to the Sons of Destiny series. Trevan and Amara are a entertaining pair and a perfectly contrasting match for each other. I especially love how Amara is setting up to be the one to finally `de-throne' Kelly and her overbearing attitude. The Cat is humorous and fun, and this series gets better with each installment. Followers of this series will be very pleased with what The Cat has to offer.

Was avidly waiting for the postman to come with this delivery! I couldn't put this book down, but was a little disappointed that Trevan didn't get his oats until the end of the book. That's not to say that, the author's vivid imagination didn't let her down throughout the book and the romance scenes were orgasmic! I didn't intend to be vulgar, but it describes the way I feel aptly!!! Can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series. Would highly recommend these books to anyone I know.

Amara and her sister, Arora, have fled their land and their people due to a secret, a secret that others will kill to possess. Amara is tired and the loss of her role as a future queen of the Shifterai tears at her very soul. She doesn't trust mages and finding herself on an island where all the inhabitants (other than Kelly and Mikor) are mages has her on edge. And she certainly doesn't take the news of her role as a prophesied bride well at all!
Trevan is more than ready for his prophesied bride to arrive. Once known for his charms at seducing women, Trevan finds himself faced with a new dilemma: a woman whose culture is so different that all his seduction methods are useless. Or are they? Will the subsequent one of the Sons of Destiny finally find his match?
THE CAT is the fifth in a series of interconnected books. Jean Johnson does provide a recap of the main events of the prior books but the story is best appreciated if read in the context of the preceding books. Ms. Johnson also points out that THE CAT and the subsequent book, THE STORM, occur concurrently. One can see the glimpses of Arora and Rydan and those tidbits only whet the appetite for THE STORM!
The romance between Amara and Trevan is sweet as both learn the importance of compromise. However, that is not the true highlight of THE CAT. No, the best parts of THE CAT are the clashes between Kelly, the self-appointed Queen of Nightfall, and Amara. Both women are headstrong and temperamental but for Nightfall to succeed, Kelly in particular has to learn a few lessons about diplomacy, tact, and forgiveness. Amara has her own issues with these very same things and the resulting quarrels between these two stubborn women will satisfy every single person (like me!) who was readily sick of Kelly telling everyone what to do. Ironically, Amara and Kelly provide each other with a mirror of themselves so that both can shelve their attitudes and work towards the betterment of the island as a whole.
THE CAT is an excellent entry into the series! Jean Johnson provides some interesting paranormal twists coupled with fantastic world building to produce what may be the best book to date in the Sons of Destiny! Readers will appreciate the way cultural norms and perspectives are viewed through the eyes of others as THE CAT provides the much needed depth the storyline has needed.

if you enjoy fantasy this is a very good book. I recommend you start with the very first in the series that is called The Sword. You won't want to wait for the subsequent one.
