Description
Dr. Whitney Washington is a Xeno-zoologist living on the Kindred Mother Ship and she has a big problem--she has a crush on her bodyguard. Unfortunately, the big Beast Kindred who comes with her to dangerous planets to protect her clearly doesn't return her interest...or does he?
Rafe is a warrior with a past--a bad one. He has been hurt before when dealing with females and he doesn't intend to repeat the experience. But it's hard to ignore Whitney's beauty and bubbly personality. Still, he's determined to try until an unexpected turn in their latest trip to a new planet for research changes everything.
Forced to land on an unknown world, Whitney and Rafe find themselves among a group of feral humanoids who seem to be about as smart as house cats. Soon they are mistaken for pets by the huge aliens who live on the planet and taken into captivity as a "mating pair." But what will happen when Rafe and Whitney actually have to mate in order to escape?

Pairing With The Protector
4By R. ManorPairing With The Protector: A Kindred Tales Novel (Brides of The Kindred). - Evangeline Anderson This new addition to the Kindred Tales Series has some of the most original and imaginative scenarios and world building yet. Whitney is a scientist that collects specimens from other worlds and has a strong attraction to her “protector” Rafe. Of course he can’t return the crazy draw he has to the female his job is to protect as he has a secret past . The guilt he bears as he finds his attraction and love for Whitney gets a bit overdone but the entertaining story keeps everything moving along. As with all missions things can go wrong and an unreliable wormhole finds the couple on a strange world of giants that resemble elephants as the dominant specials and the beast Kindred and Whitney are small and doll size, even clllected as “Tweedles”. They are discovered, captured and kept as “pets”. Of course they are expected to “breed” as well as behave somewhat like pet hamsters. Despite their situation Whitney and Rafe have to escape, somehow fix the spaceship, get thru a wild wormhole and somewhere in all that they fall in love and get an HEA. The story is not a part of the main Kindred series but part of the Kindred novels, although happily, many of the character from the series do make appearances. It’s an enjoyable rollercoaster story with all the adventure, excitement , sizzling hot scenes and crazy “surprises”, the author is so well know for.Not her best
3By KatieB714Oh I absolutely hate to do this because I LOVE this author and have many of her books. But I just was not feeling this one at all. Just felt like there was no connection between the H and h, their issue was suddenly resolved in one or two pages at the most at the very end, and it just wasn’t as good as her usual works. Kind of bummed about this but will definitely keep reading her books in the future. So sorry for the 3 star rating!Love the Kindred stories
5By Cyber tamHave loved all the Kindred stories! Ms. Anderson brings the Kindred tales to life in a way that you almost feel like you are part of the story! Love them all!To protect her and his heart
5By TcbuckAnother amazing and oh so different kindred story. This time we visit a world where the humans are the pets. Thing dog show but with humans. Whitney is a smart and very curious woman. But that makes her the perfect scientist and one who seems to find trouble. Thankfully she has a protector. Too bad he doesn’t look at her the way she wishes he would. Plenty of tension and hotness in this space adventure. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.Fe Fi Fo Fum
4By veteran RisingThis author continues to amaze me with the lengths she can take her imagination. In this book she takes us on an adventure with an unexpected detour, to a land of giants. These giants make her previous ones look like babies. When her current couple end up as mating pets to them, they not only find their true feelings toward each other, but that they work well together. I really enjoyed this book and the HEA this couple are able to find. I can’t wait to read the author’s next book and see where her imagination will take us next.Living among giants
4By Racy CarrAnother book from this wonderful author. I really do love the Kindred Bride series I gave this a 4 star because even though I loved it, it was my least favorite out of all of them. But it is still worth reading and if she ever brings out the paperback to this book it will end up on my shelf. I just loved Dr Whitney Washington’s personality. This woman had such an upbeat personality. There is not way you could not like her when you met her. She was so positive and tried to find the good in things. I just loved that about her. Rafe was a beast kindred and let me tell you my heart truly broke for him. I understand the walls he had built up around his heart. I also understood the hurt and bitterness he carried around. What I saw in him was such strength and a good heart. This was an interesting spin that the author took on the story. I think it gives you an outlook of how your pets would feel. I can not imagine being treated as a pet, though it might be nice to be fully taken cared of. I can not imagine the fear and helplessness they must of felt, especially Rafe. But the author did show everything happens for a reason. As you are reading this story you will see what that reason is. There are a few hot and steamy parts, danger, sad times, and some touching moments as well. I would highly recommend this book. Was a great story.
