Three love stories build upon each other in this story of an alien world who finds its salvation on Earth, a culture it considers barbarous. Genetic defects have forced a complex interspecies breeding plan upon a distant planet.

Unknown to even the children themselves, crossbreed human alien hybrids have lived on Earth for generations, until the time arrives for them to be recalled to their true homeworld. Not all of the hybrids are thrilled when their lives are upended so that they can bear children for men they've never met, immediately or sooner.

Susan certainly isn't, but faced with either marrying Joel or submitting to his monstrous brother she believes that Joel is definitely the lesser evil, and one she can love easily. Back on Earth, her cousin is being forced into a similiar circumstance by the government who has learned of aliens and captured a "breeding pair" for study. Susan willingly risks her life and the life of her child to rescue him from a fate far worse than death.

The worlds created in this book are intriguing and conceived with a logic that has few flaws. For the most part, it was not overly graphic, though at times did go overboard in certain areas. The main drawback for readers might be the fact that there is not a clear sense of how much time passes during the various segments of the story, though if this can be ignored, readers are in for something different to treat themselves to.

 
 

Synopsis
LAST CHANCE FOR LOVE- Book two in the Kegin Series

Susan Braedan has no idea when she goes to bed one spring night that she will never see her home on Earth again.  Susan is not a normal woman.  She is not quite Human, not Human enough to reproduce with Human men.  Susan is the last desperate attempt to save a dying world, and she has been chosen as Cross-Mate to Prince Jole.  Raised by his Cross-Mate mother, Jole knows better than any man on Kegin how an Earth woman should be treated to win her love and respect, but can he accomplish that before his younger brother, Mik, can claim her for his own?
