Alien Healer

Zerconian Warriors #13

by Sadie Carter

Racar is determined to find a way to ensure that human females live as long as their Zerconian mates. Solving this problem has become the focus of his life. To the point that he hasn’t even noticed his own mate is right under his nose…
Trying her best to be noticed.
Ellie has tried everything she can to get the clueless, hunky healer to actually see her. Short of running around naked screaming his name she wasn’t sure what else she could do.
And frankly, she wasn’t even sure that would work.
When Racar discovers she is his mate, she doesn’t know whether to trust in him. To believe him.
To let herself hope.

Didn't find the magic in this addition to the series as had been present in some of the previous ones. Warning! Spoilerish content to justify rating!

This story features the healer / researcher Racar. He is oblivious to his mate and all she is doing around his office for him while he is researching a cure to the aging issue. One day he finally speaks to her and is drawn to her. But he hurts her feelings by treating her like a random female and he isn't realizing why he's drawn to her. Once he finally touches Ellie, he realizes she is his mate after she gets sick. Que him becoming protective finally. But at this point Ellie is hurt and doesn't believe him that he's her mate. I'm confused how any of these human females could not believe it when it's physically obvious and all the other human women con confirm it does indeed happen. So why any of them would try to fight it, or even want to fight the bond, I have NO IDEA. So of course Racar is still all wrapped up in his work. Because due to her sickness, their mate bond doesn't form. Ellie gets all hurt because gosh forbid she actually have a conversation with him. Of course, I had hoped he wouldn't be oblivious to her either. But it takes two ya know? She could have pointed it out.
Anyhow Ellie was poisoned. This hurt her but also prevented to mate bond until it wore out of her system. The entire book until at the end I was screaming at the book, "HOW IS NO ONE PUTTING TWO AND TWO TOGETHER?!" How did Ellie not think to mention Gerlica giving her that weird drink after she got sick? Why did no one ask her if she had ate or drank anything different lately?
But I think my biggest, most annoying factor of this story and series IMO, is the constant barging in and involvement of the other human females. Anytime one female has an issue, be it physical and/or emotional, they all come barging in and making them talk and touching/hugging. And trying to push the mates out of the way. This is so frustrating to me because while friends are nice, HE is her MATE and will be the one she loves and forms a family with so BACK OFF personal bubble invader human females. I don't get why none of these heroines are ever like can y'all please get out? Respect my privacy! How do none of them ever get mad and tell the others to back off? Why do none of these heroines ever cling and go to their mates instead of this annoying hen house gaggle of females? I don't know or see that many humans here on earth barging in and taking over demanding other females talk / share / hug constantly. Normally those who barge in and if the other female tells them to back off, they do. These females have apparently never hear of privacy.
I'll definitely get the others that come out in this series because SFR is my favorite. But I'm really hoping we get more couples they actually both want one another from the start and the magic comes back into the series.

She says “yes, yes!” a lot.

Fairly consistent with the series, which is formulaic. But I like it.

This one moves the arc along with the lifespan difference between the species. And also, a wedding!

Amazing story about aliens that needs a mate

Ellie is human living on an alien world trying to find where she's fit in. She likes to bake and take care of people. The one person she that she loves it's an alien doctor named Racar. Unfortunately, Racar doesn't realize that she is his mate.

Ellie it started by another alien who poisons her. Will she survive and love her mate despite all of his faults?

The characters are relatable, funny, and unique in their own way. The plot is fast-paced drama and many twist and turn.

I really like this book because it reads like a comedy of errors and uncertainty of the characters of making a misstep. This book and others by the author in this series is so funny because of aliens failure to understand slang. I would be buying more books in the series. I would highly recommend this book and series.

Ellie and Racar

Racar spends all of his time in his lab. Ellie stop to visit him, bring him food, clean up and does his laundry. H has no idea! They get into a scuffle. He cannot figure out why he keeps thinking about her. He almost looses her when he finally figured out she is his mate. But again he needs up almost loosing her again. Her family is great. I love big protective Tane, sweet Keely, fierce Blue genius Marc, and protective brother of Blue. Racar has to get past her family to win his mate.

[Meghan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this one. And one of the main reasons I loved this one so much is how badly the male protagonist does. Even in this universe of one true mates, if you don't make an effort you can still loose what matters most to you. Sadie Carter never gives her characters a pass, they have to work for their relationships. Additionally, its not over dramatic only happens in stories kind of relationship drama. Its often relationship troubles that anyone alive can run into. Its real, and hits home.

What a great twist

I love this series. So many series get old because it is basically the same story told over and over. This one changes up quite a bit book to book. Case in point Healer" attempted murder, unfulfilled mating bond, and baked goods.

Alien healer

Racar is working on his research to his own detriment and is so unreachable that he does not even notice Ellie providing him meals and also his laundry. Things change when she finally tells him off and stops being a doormat.

great story

Great story although I wish there was more not just waiting for the mate bond and then that’s it. And that goes for all the books cuz the series is awesome, humorous and funny. Love it

Another really fun book in this series! It had the whole alien-doesn't-unerstand-human-idioms thing that was really cute. Although I read that a lot in my alien books, I never stop loving it!

Racar and Ellie was a really good story. Each story in this series is better than the previous one. I can't wait see who is

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Ellie wants her mate to love her, she looks after him. Racar is a Zerconian healer, he is trying to find a method for humans to live as long as the Zerconians. Can these two get together.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

Ellie just couldn’t seem to get the attention of the handsome healer. He was fully immersed in his work, to the point he would forget to eat! She was starting to think Racar was the only Zerconian warrior not interested in finding a mate.

Racar was on a special project authorized by the Emperor. He was trying to slow down the much faster human aging process. Zerconian warriors lived a long time, but if their human mate died, they died too, despite the change in the woman’s DNA that should have given them longer life. Something in the bond was blocking the changing in their aging process that would lengthen their lives. So his research was critical to the warriors and to the Emperor.

But Racar was so wrapped up in his project, that he didn’t take notice of the woman who tried to fill his every need and take care of him. Ellie was so drawn to Racar that she figured he must be hers. Yet he ignored her! When he finally speaks to her, he does feel drawn to her but still doesn’t recognize they are mates. He doesn’t understand her human facial expressions, not understanding her smile as irony rather than happiness. He couldn’t interpret her emotions and her tears which made no sense to him. Despite her bringing him food, he doesn’t even remember if he ever met her before, and he never thanked her for anything. In his awkwardness, he ends up hurting her feelings to the point that she is ready to give up on him and walk away. It isn’t until he actually touches her that he finally realizes her importance to him, and he has to race to save her life from the poison that is killing her. With Ellie no longer believing he can be her mate, will she forgive his cluelessness and let him into her heart? Is it too late for their mate bond to form?

This is the first book in this series that I have read. It didn’t pull me right in and was rather depressing. I think Ellie could have moved things along much faster if she just walked up and kicked him in the knee. Actually, she needed to get his attention and talked to him, making him aware of her presence when he obviously hadn’t been. Communication is a key factor, and we see here it matters even among aliens! I’m interested enough to read a few more from this series. But this one really didn’t grab me and hold my attention like I had hoped.

Zacar🐺🍆⛲ must find the answer and a cure!

ARC Received from Booksprout🌱
I also got this book with KU.

This is an ADULT sci-fi romance. I was a bit disappointed in the setting for the novel, though. It all seemed much too 🌎earth like and commonplace. I Read sci-fi because I want to be taken somewhere exotic and alien by the author. This story definitely did not have that exciting foreign planet feel. Also the constant interference by the other human women was very annoying!

[Christina Standridge · Rating 5 out of 5]

Elle has done everything she can think of to get Rascar's attention. She has been cooking, doing his laundry and bringing him treats. He doesn't seem to appreciate anything that she has done and others have been observing. His head in his scientific work and doesn't notice anything going on around him. She finally decides to just give up on him. Of course that is when he pays attention. Everyone is upset with the way Rascar has been treating her and doesn't encourage him spending time with Elle, they want him to stay away from her. He follows the Queens "dog" when it gets his attention and he finds Elle unconscious and dying. When he touches her he realizes that she is his mate and regrets how he hurt her and is now determined to win her back if he can save her. Must read to find out what happens. I love this series and look forward to the next book.

This is book 15 to the Zerconian Warriors series sadly I’ve only read a couple of these books they are exciting and entertaining stories and this one Alien Healer is no exception. Racar is a Zerconian Healer / researcher he is trying to find out why the Zerconian’s mate’s are dying they are not having a long lasting life like they should so when the females die their males do as well and Racar is trying to get to the bottom of it all. Ellie has been looking after Racar she does everything for him but he barely even looks at her which has frustrated Ellie to no end, she is very attracted to Racar and Ellie wonders if he even wants a mate she has tried everything to get his attention so maybe she should give up. Racar finds Ellie unconscious on the floor he touches her then finally realises that she is his mate but Ellie is dying so can Racar save her?. Fantastic story and I highly recommend this book.

[Denna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alien Healer is part of a series, but I didn’t really have any problems settling into the story without reading any of the others. Zerconian have a longer life span than humans and Racar, a physician, is trying to find a way to extend the lives of the humans who have taken a Zerconian mate. Ellie is infatuated with the handsome physician but she’s having trouble getting him to notice her. He is too busy with his research to notice her, until she no longer comes around.

This story held my attention from start to finish. The tension is held well throughout and the story is well written. Does it offer anything new to the genre? No, not particularly, but I still enjoyed it, and will probably go back and take a look at some of the others in this series.

I had read the first few books in this series and then kind of forgot about them but reading this reminded me of why I enjoyed them so much. Sadie Carter has built an incredible world to immerse the reader in. Ellie was a foster child but has found a family in other humans that escaped a terrible situation even if she does not feel she always deserves them. Racar a healer who has been tasked with finding a way to keep human mates alive as long a zerconians never has a minute to spare.Ellie tries everything to get Racar to see they are she bakes and takes care of him but he pays little attention. When a zerconian female does the unthinkable to Ellie will Racar be able to repair the damage and show he he loves her? I loved this story it keeps you interested from beginning to end and now that I have read this I will definitely be going back to read the ones I missed in this series.

[Nina Campbell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alien Healer by Sadie Carter is the fifteenth book in the Zerconian Warrior series. In this book, a human woman named Ellie is trying desperately to get the attention of Racar a Zerconian Warrior healer. She has brought him food, has cleaned his clothes, and consistently checks on him while he works long hours trying to find a way to extend the life span of humans to match that of their Zerconian Warrior mates. Racar doesn’t notice that Ellie is his mate until she get sick and almost dies. This story is irreverently funny with lots of sarcasm and irony. The male character of Racar is portrayed as particularly clueless about just about everything which was really fun to read. While Ellie’s character is sweet, funny, and forgiving. This is a wonderful romantic read. Alien Healer is a sweetly humorous romance.

[Alethia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh man, the back and forth, up and down, emotional roller coaster of this book! Ellie has been through a lot and reading her past made me cry. It was so good to read a book where the emotional attachment gets you that much. Racar was such a real person. He wasn't perfect by a long shot, but reading about him and his relationship with Ellie was so touching. I loved all the characters and I cannot wait to read more about them all. Though it is not the first book of the series, it was the first that I read, and I was not lost in the story and the book made more than enough sense on its own. I fell in love with the characters, though, and plan to go devour the other books to find out more.

Although this is book 15 in this series it’s the first time, I’ve ever read anything by this author. I love alien/human romances and so I’m not sure where I’ve been to miss this author until know! I shall most definitely be searching out more of her books after reading this one. It’s not overly long to read but it is fascinating. What caught my interest was the fact that these aliens die when their mates do and so it’s important to figure out a way to make their human mates live as long as the unmated aliens do. Then there is the romance side or in this case lack of it for a good part of the book as Ellie tries to get her mate to recognize that she is there! It’s a really great read, very interesting.

This was my first read by Sadie Carter and I was pulled in right from the start. I was right there with Ellie feeling her pain and I even cried with her. The tensions between her and Racar are hilarious due to the language barrier, if you call it that with our English metaphors being lost on an alien, and made me laugh as well. It is a quick read with a medium burn romance, mystery, and a little suspense. All of the side characters were also relatable and not just “filler” like some books I’ve read. This was a great read and I am going to look for more stories by Sadie.

Ellie has been in love with Racar for a long time. All she has ever wanted us someone to live her, a family, and kids. She has her family of friends who love her, but not the man that she wants. Racar didn't even notice all the things that Ellie had done for him until she stopped doing it. He's been so into his research to know that she's his mate and pretty much list his chance with him. When he realizes that she is his mate, it's almost to late. Lots of action, steamy sex and plenty of heart wrenching scenes.

Such a good book. I just had to stay up late to finish it. You have a Zerconian healer, Racar. who's so involved in his research of how to make the human mates live as long as their Zerconian mates that he fails to see the perfect human in front of him. Ellie is everything that he needs but he's blind as a bat where she is concerned. This book will make you smile, bring tears to your eyes and generally want to hit Racar for being so involved with his work. I highly recommend this book. You will want to find out if Ellie kills Racar, or if he will ever make her the most important thing in his life. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I am falling in love with the Zerconian warriors but Racar and his obliviousness to what is right in front of him worked my nerves. I know he was wrapped up in finding a cure for the human mates but how could he have not at least said thank you to Ellie when she basically kept him fed and clothed. Ellie is no pushover so once she has had enough with Racar’s ungratefulness she snaps. When he finally realizes what Ellie is to him will it be too late to secure his mate? Will she believe his turnaround in how he views her? I love these Zerconian Warriors and their lack of understanding Earth/human metaphors and sarcasm. I can’t wait for this series to continue!!

This is the second book by Sadie Carter I've read and I may be hooked. I liked the story and even though I've now read it out of sequence it made sense and I want to go back and fill in the blanks for the other characters. It's not as hot and steamy as I though it would be; there's more story, drama and personal interactions - but it kept me hooked to the very end. I love a happily ever after no matter what!

This story was different than others in this series. It was special. Ellie deserved to find home and mate, I think more than anyone. Her struggles with her past, which change as well her view of present, made me really think of myself at some points. She not feel to deserve anything better, feeling she need to prove to others that she deserve even tiniest things. And Racar... well.. change that we observe within him when he understands that she is his mate is the one I surely was’t think possible. But it’s so adorable.

[Cheryl · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book which had a sweet and a little emotional at times storyline. Racar and Ellie's story was enjoyable and I liked Ellie's relationship with her friends. This book is part of a series, of which I've only read the beginning books with Zoey and Dex, however I felt I was able to read this as a standalone. I enjoyed the brief glimpses or mentioning of characters I had previously met. I might need to go back and read the books I've missed.
I was a little disappointed their was no outcome mentioned regarding the situation with Gerlica.

This was my first book by Sadie Cater and it was awesome! The book hooked me right from the beginning and I couldn't put it down. It's a enjoyable romance alien story about Racar and Ellie. I loved Ellie's sarcasm trying to get Racar to notice her. He finally see's her and realizes she's his mate when she walks away and stops doing things for him. There's action, suspense, hot and steamy romance. It's a must read for any Sadie Cater fan and I will definitely be flowing this series and this author!!!

Seriously Ellie is one of my favorite people ever! She forgives, she’s not afraid to show how she feels and she constantly gives of herself without expecting anything back. It was so hard to see her hurting and too see how she felt about herself. Her friends loved her and didn’t realize some of it. And Racar- really? He had a few wake up calls but eventually came around. At first I wasn’t sure he deserved Ellie but he totally changed my mind. I highly recommend and cannot wait for the next book!
