Cat Scratched! (13 page)

When Dara Joy wrote her breakout book, she not only introduced multiple heroes (magical warrior knights) in a highly evocative, erotic storyline, she also introduced to the romance readers a species known as the Familiar, a beautiful, sensual race of feline shapeshifters. Her reinvention of the romance crossover went on to receive countless awards, and stayed on bestseller lists for over a decade. A classic.
