Her perfect man is a big, scarred alien war hero. Pity he only see’s her as a warrior, not a woman…Kenna Reynolds loves life in the Imperial Court. The latharian culture fascinates her, and she values the friendships she’s made amongst the sentinel women, most bonded to Latharian males, and a few with babies on the way. She wants that, but the male she wants—Xaandril, the emperor’s … the emperor’s champion—barely seems to notice her as a woman. As a warrior yes, but she’s begun to lose all hope that he’ll ever see her as a woman…
She was his the moment he saw her. But how can he claim her when he’s less than half a warrior?
After losing his family years ago Xaandril, the emperor’s champion, never thought he’d find love again. When the first humans are discovered to be compatible, Xaan decides to leave finding a mate among them to younger males. But one of the humans, Kenna, won’t give up on him, not even when he’s grievously inured in battle.
It takes seeing her dancing with another warrior to get his ass into gear, but before he can claim her unusual readings in a far flung terran system have them heading on on a mission for the Emperor himself.
What they find is a disturbing debris field, a colony with more secrets than members and a hidden enemy. Can Xaan beat them all to save the woman he loves, or will he lose everything, including his heart, once again?

Hitched to the Alien General is book eight in the Warriors of the Lathar by Mina Carter.
This is one story I’ve been waiting for since book one. Xaandril and Kenna have been featured as minor roles and this is their time to shine.
Xaandril is the Emperor’s personal bodyguard and Champion. Kenna is a Terran Marine and has been training the Lathar in Tarran hand to hand fighting.
The Emperor requests that Xaandril and Kenna take a look at some unusual things out in Taran space. What they discover is another alien race bent on eating its victims alive and human pirates luring in unsuspecting travelers plus a few more surprises.
Xaandril and Kenna have been dancing around each other and now they must work together and confront their attraction. I liked how this one played out. I also liked that it took most of the book for these two to become a couple. The romance and dance was well worth the wait.
Hitched to the Alien General was another solid read full of mystery, suspense, action and romance. If you’re a SciFi Alien Romance fan then you might enjoy the Warriors of the Lathar series.
Rated: 4 Stars
Wow, this romance has been smouldering throughout several of the other books in the series, and boy does it deliver when the main characters finally get alone. Great storyline.
Each book pulls you in deeper to this world with new story lines.
The two main characters in this are Xaan – Xaandril general of the Latherian forces and Kenna Reynold a marine from earth.
Daaynal K’Sann Warrior Emperor of the Lather just happens to be Xaan’s best friend. He has seen how the two look at look at each other when the other isn’t looking or they think no one else is to but nothing gets by him. So he after an odd reading comes in he think it’s a great plan to sent both Xaan and Kenna out together to see about the odd reading. Small mission, small ships, Close Quarters in might spark something. It’s the best thing to speed this courtship along. Only this small missing turns into something much much more !
OMG! What action, drama, mystery, betrayal, spice, and twist. I couldn’t put it down and didn’t want it to be over! This was awesome. A science fiction romance not to be missed. Voluntarily review a copy and I honestly loved it
I enjoyed visiting the authors world. When she writes another in the series i will purchase it.
I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down. You will be on the edge of your seat with the action and wonder what will happen next. I cannot wait to see if there will be more set in this world with some of the characters.
An addictive and compelling story, I loved this piece of the series. Kenna and Kaarn(? I am awful at remembering alien names) Finally get their own. Story! And it is all things sweet, exciting and action packed! Personally, I have loved almost everything Mina Carter has written, and this book did not let me down. Kenna is impressive on her own, but when she finally gets the general’s attention, things start to heat up, but they are in a constant state of crisis. The suspense at the colony was just thick enough to keep the story fun without killing the whole romance vibe. The part with Dax and the Kirn though? Too funny, gross still, but funny anyway.
Oh Xaan Makes It Better
You just know when reading a book from an author that you greatly enjoy sometimes storyline is it what you always expect in this book.
I’ve been reading about the latharians and I’ve not gotten bored.
Xaan has finally gotten his story and it was worth it. The author has been able to write the characters so richly that you can picture them in your mind clearly and the background as well.
If you enjoy reading about tall, sexy aliens and dangerous situations, killer aliens then you might enjoy this book.
The Emperor’s champion had his eye on the fierce Kenna Reynolds. But as a wounded and scarred Lathar, he had his doubts. Would he be enough for the Terran woman? Xaan was decided to take advantage of their new mission but, things were not as they expected. Exciting and scary! Enjoyed the suspense, the detailed descriptions and narrations that had me on edge. Good characters, intrigue, lot of suspense, danger, violence, romance, heated passion and a surprise. An interesting book that I liked very much.
Xaandril is the Emperors Cheif Guard and bestie! But something, or should I say, someone, keeps distracting him. Kenna is an Earth female warrior. A Marine, why would she want a broken warrior, one he believes is past his best? She could have any warrior she wanted. So why is he hell-bent on keeping the favour she presented to him months ago?!?!
Kenna only wants Xaan. He sets her blood on fire and ignites a passion she didn’t plan on! But he also blows hot and cold and she’s getting whiplash trying to keep up! So when the emperor sets them up on a joint mission, they’ll have to work together.
Crashlanding into a colony wasn’t part of the plan. But neither was finding a secretive group of colonists and a big, big secret!. Add in some worrying readings and Xann is about to have an up close and personal encounter with the same beast that killed his family!
Poor Xaan gets c’#kblocked several times, it really does add to the sexual tension as you can feel his frustration coming off the page! Kenna isn’t about to let him off easy though and she can give as good she gets.
Love me some Lathar Hotties!!
Could not put this down till it was finished.
It is great to get Xaandril and Kenna’s story at long last. And boy what a story it was. My skin is still crawling from reading about the Krin.
Having read the whole series, I know who these two are in their own respective lives. To new readers, Kenna is a human female Marine now living with the Lathar. She is smart, sensible and has had the hots for Xaandril from first sight.
Xaandril is the Emperor’s Champion, a General and one of the most respected and decorated of warriors, second only to the Emperor himself. He was mated many years previously and widowed but knew Kenna was his from the first time he disarmed her when she was holding a weapon to the head of one of his men. He had planned to make her his but was badly injured and feels less than deserving of this beautiful warrior woman.
Though not a lot of time for romance between these two, we have to remember they have been dancing around each other for a while, so this story really does just push their mating into being.
Once Xaan gets jealous and declares Kenna is HIS, they keep getting blocked from consummating their mating due to lots of factors interrupting. One of which is a mission for the Emperor, which leads to lots of complications.
Loved the whole colonists plotline and what was going on and how this played out very well.
Xaan’s instincts were right and Kenna owed him an apology.
Liked Stephen and Keris being in the story.
A few sad unwanted deaths but too many ones that got what they deserved.
This is my honest review of this book.
I loved the emotional dance that Kenna and Xaan did as part of the courting. Without really admitting it to themselves or anyone else, they tango’d until pushed together. They were both very strong and independent people and yet willing to bend and be soft for each other. I enjoyed the story and how there were threats from different directions and they had to be smart and work with others. I liked that there were new story elements and people introduced. Excited that there might be a few more tales and matches coming.
This is part of the series, but I don’t think you will miss much if you start with this one. It is pretty stand alone for Kenna and covers her background.
This is the 8th book in the series. I’ve Read the others also. They are all good. This one is the story of Xaandril and Kenna. Kenna was a marine on an outpost on a different planet. There, the women on the outpost are captured by warriors of the Lathar from another planet. As it turns out citizens of earth are descended from the Lathar. As such, that means the women are compatible with the Latharian warriors who because of some issues do not have any women. The Lathar are honorable warriors but they desperately need women. This book gives you insight into the lives of some of the others we’ve already met. I think the author needs to go ahead and conclude the series. This needs to end with the emperor finding his own lady. I’ve read the blurb about book 9. It looks like they’re pulling characters out of the blue now in order to keep the series going. While the story is contrived the writing is not bad but, could use some improvements. I have noticed the writing is getting worse with each book.
This is a definite must read! Kenna and Xaandril are strong characters that just match so well. Love their chemistry and their story that was filled with suspense, action and steamy loving. My favorite by far of this series that doesn’t disappoint.
It’s about time!!
Anyone who has read this series(if not, why?) has watched these two characters “spar” with each other since their first meeting. Finally Xaandril has decided to make his move. Yeah, it may have taken a “slight” push from Emperor Daaynal but it’s about time! Kenna is the perfect mate for Xaandril. Hopefully they can survive their mission and get their HEA. I’m eagerly waiting for the next Latharian to meet his mate.
