"Fun paranormal interracial romance with a refreshingly non-alpha -- and pregnant -- hero"

Kendall is just starting a week of vacation when she finds Flame on her doorstep. Flame (who is, quite astonishingly, male and pregnant) has fled from a planet where women rule and men are little more than chattel. Kendall, a nurse, has no thought but helping him. He gives birth to twins, and then they all must hide from the team sent to track Flame down and bring his daughter back.

KEEPER OF THE FLAME is a neat book. Though we don't see the culture he comes from, Flame is a refreshing hero -- he is not a dominating alpha by any means! Kendall is a spirited upbeat heroine who's fun to root for. The romance is soft and their lovemaking is sensual rather than graphic. Flame also has the ability to control the element of fire, which makes for some very interesting scenes. The heroine is black and hero white, so KEEPER OF THE FLAME is an interracial romance, but it's never a problem or issue, just a fact. KEEPER is a fun story that promises at least two equally enjoyable sequels.

Summary

Out of this world...WAY out

Flame will do whatever it takes to protect his unborn children, including flee the only home he's ever known, a matriarchal planet where males have no rights and are kept only as workers because of their huge size and as sexual chattel for the same reason.

Oh baby

It was supposed to be her wedding day. Kendall never expected to spend it helping a man give birth to twins! But this gorgeous alien escapee has captured her heart. Now if she can just keep him alive...
