Laarn was a bit of an alpha-hole and I'm not a fan of the secret baby trope. That said, I loved Jessica and refusal to be pushed around.
Read as part of Warriors of Lathar, Volume 1.

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 enjoyed reading this story. This is the first book in the series I've read and I really didn't have trouble jumping into it. The things that are needed to know are gone over and the other stuff is extra if you have read it. I really liked Jess and Laarn. They were good characters and fun to read. There is action and intrigue as well as watching Laarn and Jess try and figure each other out. They are both trying to spend extra time together without the other realizing that it's because they want the other one. Jess doesn't think he wants her or sees her as a woman and Laarn thinks she can't handle his scars and would never look at him as a man. I enjoyed reading and watching them figure things out and get passed the road blocks that are put in their way. This was a fun new world for me and I would love to come back.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

There aren't many typos/editing errors, but there are a couple.
My problem is that Ms. Carter has drastically changed her writing style.
She's added way to much repetitive inner dialogue and way to much cheese.
Her stories used to be fast paced and so well written they kept your attention.
This one and #2 was so slow paced and filled with so much unnecessary cheesy dialogue and repetition that I couldn't stay with the story. This one even more so than the last one.
So, yes there is a couple of steamy adult sex scenes. But even those don't have the elements needed to keep my attention.
The term 'Cookie Cutter' very much applies.
On that note, I have one more in this bundle. But no way can I make myself read it right now.
I hope, but do not expect, that it will be better than this one.

Jess may be a Marine, but she was more a background girl than a warrior. But she has managed to hold her own on the strange world she has found herself. She has been pursued relentlessly by Saal but he just does not interest her. She seems to have an eye for the tall, stoic healer - who just happens to have the body of a warrior!
Laarn has kept his distance from Jess, thinking she would be put off by his purposely scarred body, after all Humans seem to be all about the smooth bodies! But when his Uncle gives him an ultimatum which could mean losing Jess altogether, Laarn finally throws his hat into the ring and seems genuinely shocked when Jess returns his advances.
But when a battle interrupts his claiming of Jess, Laarn returns to find Jess the target of purists and with a little something to explain to him!
Laarn almost jumped to conclusions he shouldn't have but Jess does some leaping of her own and almost lands herself in deeper water! Highly enjoyable read!
