Alien Cyberwarrior’s Matched Mate is the seventeenth book in the Warriors of the Lathar series, but stands well on its own. Isabella has no job and is about to be homeless when she signs up for the Latharian Mate Program. She’s matched to Berrick, and while she runs, she slowly accepts her fate and match. But someone is hunting her. Will Berrick be able to keep his mate safe, or will claiming her put her in more harm? This book had me hooked right from the very beginning! Isabella and Berrick had a connection that sparked right away, and I loved the ups and downs of their relationship. Then when you throw in the dashes of danger, I just couldn’t stop reading. Isa was such a strong character, one to always stand up against the bullies, and one who always wanted to help. She was selfless, but I loved when Berrick gave her every example of how truly special she was. Berrick was all alpha male, wanting to protect and possess his female, and I loved how he pushed himself to gain her trust and heart. I really enjoyed them together, their feisty attitudes at times, and their passionate embraces when they were ready to take that next step. There’s danger that had me excited to find out who and why, and then these was a secret that could have ruined everything before it truly got started. I loved this book! I love that I keep getting sucked into this series and world that Ms. Carter has created! And I love that I constantly want more!

3.5 stars. I was so excited to read another installment of the Lathar series. Berrick is a big teddy bear. Always enjoyed him. Isa was refreshing. I liked her strength. I’ve been trying to figure out what I felt was missing from the story. I realized that we’ve always known that Berrick and Isa were going to be together. We found out when we we’re introduced to the B’Kaar. I realized I kept waiting for an epic reunion between Jay and Isa and it never came. At least not for me. I didn’t like the betrayal aspect of the story and I wanted Isa and Jay to spend more time together. I felt there was too quick of a closure, or glossing over that part of their life. It was an important piece to me. I did love watching Berrick and Isa’s love grow. It was fun. Great twist with the evil guy.

A big bad B’Kaar finds his mate and discovers his softer side. One of my favorite sci-fi series comes to Earth to find mates by matching DNA. I have been following the Lathar since the beginning and if you like falling in love stories and fated mates in a cool futuristic world you will love these books. This tale starts the Karr clan storyline. They are the tech nerds of the Lathar, but they are also hella scary in their semi autonomous armor and glowing processing links under their skin. Of course this is also Isabella’s journey too and even though she has been through some stuff she is still a fighter. Berrick has his work cut out for him to win over Isa and we get to come along on the adventure. Loved this read!
