Earth girls might be popular...but they're definitely not easy.
Kidnapped by sexy aliens, Cat and the women of the Sentinel Five base are looking for a way home. Their captors might be ripped, hot warriors looking for that one special woman, but these girls have this little thing against being slaves. Even if their leader is well on his way to stealing Cat's heart as well as her body...
Then a new player enters the arena. A dangerous rival war-commander has challenged the K'Vass claim on terran held space and all its women. Tarrick K'Vass can't afford to let any of the earth women be captured, especially not his little human, Cat.
When his human is taken, he'll do anything to rescue her... Anything. Up to and including starting an intergalatic war.
Mina Carter is a New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of romance in many genres. She lives in the UK with her husband, daughter, a puppy who pays no attention to her whatsoever, and a bossy cat.
As I was suspecting this story somehow picks up after the first.
There are so many gaps in the story that I want to cry: - how did the women get the weapons, how did they fight the aliens and escaped - how can a cow look like creature help create good looking aliens or Lathariens after a quick tumble in the grass so to speak? Genetically they should have "cow" traits considering that they are conceived in a normal fashion - horizontally not a test tube-
My list of questions is long and I don't want to continue. Too bad it's an interesting story and now I see I have a part 3....now this is a problem for me because, really? a short one? Why not a full book and be done with it?
Mina Carter you can write but...that short? I guess that appeals to other readers. I am keeping my opinion that a short story is not enough and I am steering clear from them for a while
Okay. I'm a sucker for good sci-fi. I like it over the top, full of action, and with hot romance. Mina has managed to totally deliver on this series. I have to say I think her sci-fi is better than her shifter, and I really like her shifters! But something about this story makes me hot, cry, and laugh. I want to know about each woman that's been featured getting her man! But I do love a good hunky alien! High recommend! Drop in and go for it!

Title: Saved by the Alien Lord Series: Warriors of the Lathar Designation: Book Two of Four, Not a Standalone Author: Mina Carter My Rating: FIVE SUPER SEXY STARS***** And the fun continues with Saved by the Alien Lord, the second book in the captivating Warriors of the Lathar Series and what a tantalizing, fun-filled treat it is. Mina has once again done what she does best. And what is that you ask? Well, she's delivered yet another exceptionally well crafted and well written masterpiece of science fiction filled with aliens, danger, adventure, humor, romance, passion and seriously hot sex! Yep, it has it all including a magnificent cast of engaging characters that will steal your heart.Yowza! I loved it! This is a short, action-packed and very sexy read but is part of a completed serial and is absolutely perfect for a quick lunchtime read. Please be advised, this is the second release of a four book series and the books do need to be read in order. This is not a standalone read. If you haven't read the first book, Captured by the Alien Lord, please stop here. War Commander Tarrick K'Vass has searched the Galaxy for the mysterious woman whose voice he heard on an intercepted unidentified radio transmission. Her voice has haunted not only his dreams but also his every waking moment and he's determined to search the entire galaxy to locate her. When he does find her, it's not only the shock of his life, but also what very well may be the hope for which his people have long searched. He not only finds beautiful Sgt. Cat Moore on the remote space station, Sentinel Five, but also a new race called humans and their women, surprisingly, seem to be sexually compatible with the Latharian warrior race! What? Now, all he has to do is capture her, conquer her, win her heart and mate her! Huh? Oh my! Capturing her may have been easy but conquering her and the other human females is much more difficult than Tarrick and his warriors could ever have imagined. Nope, never let it be said that Sgt Cat Moore would ever be easy and she certainly would never go down without a fight. The Latharians may have won a battle by capturing their human remote base and enslaved all its personnel but the war was just starting and she had just begun to fight. Granted, their captors were handsome, muscular and so, so sexy and the reality of being claimed by an alien warrior, correction, an alien warrior lord, was sexy but if she had anything to say about it, it would be short lived at best. And what better way to defeat her enemy than from the comfort of his bed. What? But before Cat can formulate a plan of escape for her and her fellow prisoners, a rival Latharian war clan leader, Commander Varish T'Laat, arrives to throw his hat in the ring and demands that the woman be turned over to him or he will destroy Tarrick's ship, the Velu'vias, and the four other ships in his invasion force. What the heck? But stealing the human women from Tarrick's ship may just be the biggest mistake Varish has ever made because the lovely, dainty females may not be as helpless as they appear. Cat realizes quickly that the enemy she knows is much better than the cruel Commander T'Laat. And Tarrick soon discovers that his little 'Moore Cat' is not only a warrior herself but also quite an intelligent little Hell-Cat! Let the battle begin! Oh my glory! The story is exciting, thrilling, riveting, romantic, arousing, seductive and sensual. The characters are captivating, intriguing, engaging and sexy as sin. Handsome, sexy, alpha alien war commander-check! Beautiful, saucy, courageous human heroine-check! Danger, action, adventure, malevolent alien war commander and one heck of a shocking cliffhanger-check! Heated attraction, fiery passion, seductive romance, an unexpected and surprising set of mating marks and a little old fashioned sex-you bet! Oh my! I can hardly wait to see what happens next! Deliciously cute, seriously sexy and delightfully entertaining! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
I had never been a big fan of reading the sci-fi genre but Mina Carter is definitely changing my mind on that. I am really loving this series. This one was full of action and heat! I love Cat's feistiness and Tarrick's possessiveness. They make for one explosive couple. I also really enjoyed meeting some of the other females. I can't wait to get their stories. I know they'll be just as much fun and make life difficult for the men they end up with!
I love this series, and cannot wait for the next book!! This series is about hot, alpha alien males who capture human military women, thinking that that just because they are small and need protecting, these women are far from and show these men that they are mot as fragile as they think when in a battle with the bad guys who kidnapped the women! Even though its a short story series, i soo wish it wasnt and that each women will get their HEA!
Still like the characters! Some world-building and logic fails - NO TYPOS!! (woohoo? or are my standards just too low reading all the self-pubs XD) Plot is interesting but everything is just a bit too pat for me, really a function of the length more than anything.
Am loving these short stories. Very hot and fun stories with big hunky males with tough sexy females holding their own. Can't wait for more this series is great!
3.5 stars. This continues on from book 1. Cat and the other women show the K’Vass Lathar what they are made of when the T’Laat Lathar arrive and steal the human women. The women manage to get hold of weapons and give the T’Laat a good hiding. Cat and Tarrick come to a mutually agreeable compromise on their future.
This is the second book in this series. You have to start with Captured. This book continues with Cat's story and it is a wild ride! Lots of action, enemy aliens, and steam!
From the action to the love scenes, you could feel every bump, lump and thrust of the characters on their journey. The story was quick paced and tightly written, the heroine, Cat, was strong, smart and able, the hero, Tarrick, protective, clever and sexy as f@ck! I want my own Latharian lover!
Short, better when the Lathar finally realise how dangerous human woman can be when pissed. It's about time they learnt humans will not summit to slavery
Another great book by Mina Carter. Through her books you could learn about Aliens if they were to come here. Hopefully the Aliens would be like some of these. Highly recommend this book & others by Ms. Carter, great read & author.
I loved this story. It is a continuation from Captured by the Alien Lord. That one was a romantic version of a space opera, this one turns it on its head. OMG, the Lathar are surprised at Earth women. So, the setup -- in the earlier book, a few ships from an alien warrior race capture the military spacestation where our heroine lives and works. Even though the humans put up a good resistance, the alien technology is too much and they capture everyone. They want the woman for sex and breeding, because they don't have female offspring. Dang them for also being really hot, buff and all alpha, too. The leader of the warrior group had her our heroine's voice in communication transmissions, and wanted her sight-unseen. When he sees her, he is immediately attracted. He blackmails her with promises of the other women's safety, and they have sexy times that even she things is wonderful, because he is hot, hot, hot, and really good in bed. She never forgets her first allegiance to her own people, though. Okay, start of this story, some less-nice war ships of his race come and attack to get the women they have captured. They have more ships and robots than the first captors, and manage to take the women to their ship. In his arrogance, the new leader decides to take our heroine--mostly because she belongs (in his mind) to the hero. Our human women really surprise everyone and are a big part of rescuing themselves, but, as you can tell from the title, our heroic alien lord rescues our heroine and the other women. These women are all kick-azz warriors and can strategize, fight, and realize the first group was much better than the second group. Cat renegotiates with the alien lord for the women's happiness, as well as their safety. I loved this story, I loved the twist of how the aliens now see humans, and especially human women, as strong warriors, too. The final twist I won't tell you.
2nd book, continues from the first with the same lead pair, but introduces an actual plot (or something of the sort), and some more characters.
here's what i thought of the first one (copy pasted, because, well, the 2nd ain't that different, except for a villain, and 'another' kidnapping! oh, and the drugging issue. i don't think the author put it in the first book, but the happy oh-yes-shag-me was because the h had been drugged. oops.) ______________________________ short, fun story, with a couple of things i really didn't like. but the author fixed them/ignored them in the subsequent novels.
like the young and fit women being reserved for mating, and the older ones for being sold as servants. or the fact that lathar women were high (highly?) strung, hot house flowers.
book 4: the h is 43, and there is reference to AI being developed because of the mathematical works of some aunt of the current ruler. the 4th in the series was the second book i read, so that went a long way assuaging my irritation with this series.
all in all, not a bad come-shag-me-my-alien-mate type of novel/novella.
oh, and the h showed some spunk, and the H showed a little respect, so... yeah, this ranked quite high in the plethora of bad erotica out there.
not sure how i feel about the h being drugged though. (kindda missed that in this one; it's sort of big deal in the next book)
did i put in some spoilers? oops. but she did say to leave a review, even if it was one or two lines :|
This is a very short read so keep that in mind when deciding if this is for you!
Even though Cat bedded an alien that doesn't mean she is going to stick around. Using her military background she is finding information that may help her to escape along with all the other humans. But she doesn't count on being kidnapped a second time.
Tarrick isnt going to let his human go no matter what. So when another steals what he see's as his he get majorly pissed and makes sure to get her back.
So what happens when the greater of two evils takes you and harms you? Will you succumb to the lesser just because you have more freedom there? That's basically what Cat does but it's not in a way of surrendering to remain alive. 'Cause Cat has contemplated ending her life if need be.
So although Tarrick refuses to let the women go he will make sure that they remain as happy as they could possibly be at the request of Cat. He doesn't see the issue with what they're doing but she is most definitely knocking some sense into the man!
This was a sexy hot quick read that I found a lot of fun. I loved the interaction between Cat and Tarrick. Oh and you can just imagine the chemistry just poppin off of both of them. I didn't get a chance to read the first book, but it didn't take anything from it. The story line and characters were awesome and I'm finding that I'm really enjoying Mina's quick sexy reads.
Sci Fi at its awesomest... A group of Alien's male take over a human space station, they are quick to round oup the women and separate them from the men. Why... simple they have no women of their own. Did they stop...and speak to one of the females before enslaving them...no that may just be their down fall. (smiles) When the leader chooses Cat has his own it wont be an easy transition. Cat wont make it easy for him. Ah.. just when you claim a space station for your own, you just may lose it to another brotherly clan.
Ok, when I read the first one I found issues with the story and characters. Now that I read book 2...I just loved it! More character development and more to the story just cinched it for me. I laughed my butt off because seriously Cat isn't taking anything laying down. Her character is freakin awesome. Tarrick lol well he's just funny cause he's gotta be the guy in command but also keep his mate happy. Which at the beginning she still hasn't quite accepted because she is stubborn and wants a choice not only for her but her fellow female inmates. She's not wrong there. She starts to kinda warm to him and then she gets kidnapped along with the other females by another clan and this guy is all kinds of crazy with a capital C. So, as this story unfolds it just gets better. I loved it and looking forward to the next installment. These are not cliffhangers by any means but you know the story continues so dont freak out. LOL.
As usual Ms. Carter's talent shines through in this second installment. We get a bit more Sci-Fi flavoring as well which I was grateful to see. While reading this one, I thought more than once that the Lathar warriors and society reminded me of Klingons. That said, this book/series is definitely Sci-Fi light or Sci-Fi romance.
In book 2 we see that Tarrick and his men aren't complete brutes which was oh-so-barely hinted at in the first book. We actually Tarrick as a caring, loving protector when his kidnap victims are snatched away from him. (Yes, I know how contradictory that sounds. Just go with it. lol) We also see that the Cat and her fellow soldiers aren't whimpering idiots and are very much tough military soldiers.
Again, this installment is short and contains a cliffhanger which I fully expected.
How is the author's writing? Good Is there violence? Yes Is there sexual content? Yes How is the story narrated? Third person
