Aliens amping up the heat…

Jazmine Brooks, Earth Ambassador to the Kadothians never expected her Masters in Couple’s Therapy to be used in quite the way it was.  Since she married her two Kadothian husbands she has spent her time helping other Earth women acclimate to another culture and navigate the complexities of a polyamorous marriage, something she doesn’t have the most experience with herself.   Nothing in her background as a preacher’s daughter from Harlem prepared her for the very openly sexual nature of the Kadothian culture.  

On the other hand, her experience as an African American woman has given her a double dose of exposure when it comes to prejudice, something the other women from Earth may not have as much experience with when they come up against species prejudice in their new lives.  Her very background and experience makes her perfect in her position as Ambassador.  Something that has drawn the enmity of one of the Kadothian elders.  The fact that the guy is an absolute jerk and seems to have married a very vain and vapid woman with a major self-indulged personality pushes Jaz just a tad too far one time too many and puts her in the crosshairs of scrutiny.  Not something she needs on the day she is to meet her potential third husband.

The Kadothian culture is built around blood brother relations where the brothers are sexually involved and  typically marry one woman who becomes the matriarch of their family.  The matriarch is the central binding factor and key to saving the men from sinking into a beastial state of craziness resulting from the psychic natures. Millenium ago, the women of the Kadothian species were corrupted and became the embodiment of evil.  To combat the issue, the men’s reproductive capabilities were altered so that they can only produce male children.  Now, they can only mate with women of other species.  Earth women are their potential salvation.  Jaz’s mates, Mavet and Xentix are totally devoted to Jaz.  They are also very protective and at times withhold crucial information in their attempt to coddle and protect.  Little do they know how much potential damage flying blind can cause.  Xentix also has another blood brother and at the beginning of Jaz’s Warriors the three are awaiting his arrival on the space station.  Where Xentix and Mavet are both healers, Tandar is all warrior.  While Xentix and Mavet play their part in this story (and may I say their parts are very hot) it is more a tale of how Tandar and Jaz meet and bond while dealing with the complexities of Kadothian culture and prejudice.

As the physical heat increases between Tandar and Jaz, her mates bring every ounce of their considerable psychic heat into play.  Let’s just say things become rather hot and steamy between the two, let alone the four when their relationship is cemented.  Jaz’s Warriors is a fairly quick read that I really enjoyed.  If you are looking for a bit of steamy sci-fi romance then Jaz’s Warriors definitely qualifies.
