His Carnal Need

His Carnal Need is Book Two in the Xylon Warriors Series. Book One of the series is entitled Initiation. For maximum effect, these books should be read in order.

Josella is on a strange planet and she’s running from the Egesa Slave Masters. As she scurries to hide yet again, she cries out for her sister Halah to come and find her, to help her. Halah occupies a unique position among the Egesa, but has secrets of her own...

Leila Abdera is a Xylon Healer. She’s being stalked by high-ranking warrior Erik Rhodes, the one who has chosen her for his mate. She doesn’t participate in the ritualistic sex parties of her people by her own choice, but he thinks she’s sneaking off to have sex with Kam. When the truth about her repression and lack of ability to self-heal comes to light, she is offered the chance to be re-initiated and gain self-healing powers. But there are bigger problems afoot as they are all set to embark upon a mission to infiltrate the Egesa. The Egesa have knowledge that threatens the very existence of the Xylons.

His Carnal Need is a complex tale of otherworldly civilizations, strange sexual initiation rites, and the wounds that only time and love can truly heal. Leila is wounded deep in her spirit, and Erik believes that he is just the man to join with her. Ruth D. Kerce isn’t stingy with the erotic scenes here, either, with one particular passage detailing a multi-partner session between Leila and four men (yes, four!). There’s a lot of back-story here, but readers will soon catch the gist of this warrior race which prizes its females so highly. His Carnal Need is a sexy feast for the senses, all wrapped up in a love story that crosses galaxies.
