Pregnant by the Alien Healer is book three in the Warriors of the Lathar series by Mina Carter. It’s sweet, exciting, emotional, and action-packed.
I read these to enjoy a getaway into a silly fun sci-romance. This was another enjoyable and entertaining read in the Warriors of the Lathar series.
Jess and the Lord Healer Laarn where a great couple. Jess is the chaser while Laarn is the reluctant one, but once he falls he falls. I liked how this story played out with some quirky set of events; which find our Jess accidental implanted with Laarn’s child. The accident is believable, especially since Jess doesn’t understand the Lathar technology and the Lord Healer is gone and, so, things happen. It made me smile! These two dance around each other, but have had the hots for some time. Laarn is the reluctant one, but once he falls he falls.
The story takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride that keeps you engaged, along with some great plot twists, and villains that are exciting and add little suspense and drama.
The one thing overlooked in this story is Jess’s twin sister and that dilemma, but I’ve read the full series that’s out to date and that issue plays out in a few other books; before it’s resolved in Kissed by the Alien Mercenary, Book 12.
Pregnant by the Alien Healer I found to be a delightful read. Its a fun and sweet yet cheesy romance that kept me entertained.
Rated: 4 Stars
I always find myself laughing and have the aw factor when I read Mina’s books. Its always a delightfully hot story with lovable characters both the males and the females.
Warriors of the Lathar is just my kinda series and I really enjoyed this latest addition Book 5.
We all think of healers a particular way, well meet Laarn. He even thinks healers must act a certain way to be the best at his job. When he spots Jessica his mind as a mind of its own, his body thinks its should follow.
Lathar is all about the big bad and sexy males. Jess though is all about the healer, now just if he was all about her. Sassy gorgeous and love her personality.
I just loved the story. the old saying comes to mind. ~You snooze you lose~ A certain healer best get a shake up or just make miss something special.
I Voluntarily read and reviewed this book, enjoyed it and recommend it.
My favourite so far. Loved Jess and Laarn and how they ended up together despite Laarn’s stubbornness.
I could not stop till I had read to the end. And what an ending. Gave me goosebumps and such a wonderful tingle. You will know what I mean when you read it.
Great storyline and well written and paced. Loved the story with Saal too and having some action with the others from previous books.
This is my honest review of this book.
Loving this series
Very entertaining read! Action packed with good characters. This is the first one I’ve read in this series. I followed with ALIEN HEALERS BABY. This was also a good read.
This third installment of the Lathar Warriors Saga is definitely better than #2.
This time, it’s all about Jess and Laarn, the Lathars’ Grand Healer now. We’ve had a few glimpses into these two in the previous two volumes, but this relationship look is probably the best of the three so far.
I think this time Mina finally wrote some better characters to enjoy. Not perfect, though. Still relying on a few old cliches that are getting very passé right now as I’ve read it too many times. (“Oh! I must leave you though I love you!”) Too tired of this, but still, we now get a better look into the Lathar society. As for the emperor, I know what the writer is trying to do, but it’s not working. He isn’t a buffoon, and the parts that are nudge-nudge wink-wink are too forced. A little more subtlety would be appreciated.
The Purists are still out there, causing mayhem. For being such a warrior-style government, you’d think they’d keep the palace cleared of spies, insurrectionists, and palace coup attempts. It’s rather sloppy work. Why not watch Game of Thrones, Mina, and learn what palace intrigue is. That’s what is missing.
I am glad I did get a chance to read this installment. Based on Number 2, I wasn’t betting I would like it, but it is the best of the three so far. Okay… I think I’ll read the next one.
Who is the daddy
I absolutely love this book. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I have read it. I always cheer for those who can’t quite connect with the person they are supposed to be with, and the author made this pairing a long journey full of every emotion available. I enjoyed the way the healer finally came to grips with his need for his mate and the way the emperor always wants what is best for the sons of his heart. Then the author made him almost lose it all over a misunderstanding caused by skulking in the halls. So much pain that she brings to an amazing ending you will not want to miss. I can’t wait to read whatever book she brings my way next.
Much like the other books in the Warriors of Lathar series, this had sci-fi action and hot steamy lovin’ a-plenty, with a few interesting twists to the storyline. The entire series thus far contains the same cast of characters, with each novel focusing on one of the female military women (now guests on Lathar Prime) falling for and being mated to one of the Lathar warriors they encountered in the first book of the series. It’s actually kind of cool, because each book picks up the action exactly where the previous one left off, giving a really nice sense of continuity to whole world created by Mina Carter. While I didn’t like this particular one as much as the first 2 books in the series, who am I kidding? I’ve simply inhaled this entire series and have now read each book several times over. They are, quite frankly, just plain fun.

great read
Enjoyed this installment of this well written series! Good storylines and characters. Although she left the twin sister storyline hanging…??
This is book 3 in the series, and though each are technically standalone, definitely read the first one or you just won’t get as much out of this. The second isn’t absolutely necessary, but it was dang fun. Written in second person perspective from the two main leads’ point of view.
This is Laarn and Jess’s book (we saw this coming from book 1, no surprise). Laarn is Tarrick’s (from book 1) twin brother and the foremost healer of the Lathar race. That pretty much means that he can handle more pain than anyone else, ever, as well as being an amazing doctor. All that said, he doesn’t feel he can or should take a mate. Jessica is making that really REALLY hard. I meant that in all ways. This book is half him fighting the good fight against the mating, even though EVERYBODY is for it but him (I really like Daaynall more and more), and the other half figuring out what that means to them. Laarn is a great guy, really, and much less…persnickety than his twin.
Jessica is not the marine that Jane is, nor the leader that Cat is. She’s a pretty low key, shy individual while still being a soldier. I like that despite all that, she continues to pursue Laarn and doesn’t give up easily. Stubborn, the both of them. She gets righteously angry despite that quiet demeanor when she accidentally gets knocked up without any fun involved. The fact that she’s so quiet and unassuming makes that even more awesome to watch play out.
The book is full of action, a good bit of blood and gore, some interesting healing practices, furthering the whole trying to save the race agenda, a dose of steam, some touching family moments, a new mission, and a crazy bunch of alien zealots. Good times all around, I say.
