Synopsis (Goodreads):
She’s pregnant without nookie. Someone slap her ass and call her Mary…

A ‘guest’ of the Lathar, Jess has become used to being at court, especially as it allows her to be close to a certain tall, handsome healer. But Laarn might as well not know she exists, far more interested in his tests and her genetic code than her as a woman… maybe. A hot encounter after a combat trial prove that Laarn HAS noticed her, more than noticed her. But before they can act on the attraction between them, Laarn is called away to the battlefield leaving Jess all alone at court.

Not wanting to bother any of the other healers when she feels unwell, Jess gets treatment from the automated systems in Laarn’s lab, only to get worse days later. She’s pregnant, without a sniff of between the sheets action and worse, there’s a bunch of fanatics loose in the palace trying to kill her and her baby…

He aches to claim her, but saving his people must come first. To do that, he can’t waste time with a female…

Lord Healer for the Lathar, Laarn must find a way to save his people from the plague that claimed all their women a generation ago. Now it is speeding up and if he doesn’t do something, the Lathar will be gone in a generation. Salvation arrives in the form of humanity, descendants of a lost Lathar colony, who might just hold the key to reversing the damage to the Lathar genetic code.

His scars mark his rank, but will they also lose him the woman he loves?

Laarn never thought anything of his scars before. In his culture they mark his rank as the best healer in the empire, but he starts to cover them when Jessica, the delicate little human female who holds his interest, won’t look at them. He wants her, but his duty lies elsewhere until everything changes…

Between a pregnancy, mating marks and a fanatic out to kill the woman he loves, can Laarn remain detached enough to do his duty… or will he give into emotion and save his heart?
Thoughts on Pregnant by the Alien Healer: Alien warriors and human woman (some of whom are warriors in their own right) sometimes have a few roadbumps to get past before they can do that happily ever after thing. I'm not talking about the danger, either. They have cultural and emotional things to get past.

You know, like how Laarn has a thing for Jess, but doesn't think he should/can indulge it because the fate of his people rests on his shoulders. Or how Jess (and the other human women) don't really understand all the subtleties and hidden meanings behind what the Lathar do.

And then there's the issue with the group who aren't into Lathar/human matings and think the Lathar bloodlines should remain pure. LITTLE THINGS, RIGHT?

Anywho. As you might guess, Laarn does his level best to ignore his feelings for Jess. She does her best to pretend like his disregard doesn't hurt. Then everything goes a little crazy when Jess is put in danger and Laarn is faced with the idea he might lose her before he ever really gets to know her.

Oh, and there's the baby thing. Finding out your pregnant by the dude you're into without ever actually doing the deed? NOT THE WAY TO A WOMAN'S HEART.

Bottom line: Good stuff all around.
