A Lost Kitten is a science fiction romance with paranormal elements.
Seacat John McCall labels the attack on the Sea-anan Empire as a nightmare. He escapes the enemy’s invasion, only to find himself stranded on a distant planet called Surreal. Tormented by thoughts of his family being massacred or captured by the enemy, he focuses on returning to aid them until he experiences a mind-boggling kiss that can only come from the one he is meant to share his life with. To ease the terror he feels for his family, John seeks the identity of his secret admirer. He quickly learns the true meaning of nightmare when he discovers his soul mate is of “the mist.”
Jasira Eversole is drawn to the powerfully built outlander sitting at the king’s table. Unable to resist the need to see him again, she enters the warrior’s room while he sleeps. John’s rugged good looks and chiseled body compel Jasira to reach out and touch him. Being of the mist, Jasira knows she will not be able to feel John, but she cannot resist his pull. The richness of John’s hair, the firmness of his muscles, and the clean scent of his skin all take Jasira off guard. She swiftly realizes John is her intended mate. Now, Jasira must somehow convince the young warrior that they are two halves of one soul without chasing him off Surreal, leaving her to a lonely existence as mist.
Excerpt
John was drifting off to sleep when he felt soft lips press against his own. His heart leapt in his chest, waking him. He did not wait to respond. He instantly showed his talented Jasira how a McCall kissed.
He had longed for this kiss since the last time. Her kiss was how he remembered. Warm. Hungry. Arousing. John growled. He lured her tongue into his mouth where he could savor it. Her taste made his trip to Surreal worth it.
John felt Jasira's fingers travel down his chest and abdomen, then to his throbbing root. His head fell back, over the tub on a loud groan. "Jasira" He adjusted his hips, giving her better access to his inflamed body.
His racing heart banged harder against his ribs as Jasira gripped him firmly. John felt the world tilt on its axis. Surrendering to Jasira's sensual touch, he clung to the sides of the iron tub and closed his eyes more tightly.
"I want you, Jasira," John huskily admitted. He opened his eyes. Through their glow, he saw the ceiling. He glanced around. The kitchen was empty.
Professional Reviews
This book should be made into a movie!
"My overall impression of A Lost Kitten is that it transported me into a world of fantasy that I could only dream of. Read how Jessica Kong masterfully tests her complex characters' limits by thrusting them in dangerous situations. It was fast paced and action packed. I giver her credit on excellent character development and conflict, which both enhances and drives the plot and forced me to wonder how it will all be resolved. Expect to be awed by her use of powerful literary techniques, which were well placed, as they are subtly interwoven into the book." by Winsome Campbell-Green

A titillating opening to a space-opera
"In her first volume of the Sea-anan romance saga, debut author Kong introduces a war-torn galaxy populated by strange aliens with mystical abilities.
When a traitor allows a growing tyrannical empire to destroy Sea Base Ten, half-human Seacat John McCall and his siblings, the royal family of the Sea-anan Empire, fight against the conquerors, the Dominion, until the civilians can fly to safety. Sending their own ships in opposite directions to lead the enemy astray, the siblings are separated, and John is stranded in an unrecognizable part of space, where’s he unable to contact his people. When a group of Surrealans offer
him a lift on the condition they stop at their planet first, John is suspicious but desperate. He agrees, not realizing that the Surrealans have ulterior motives: In order to revive their own people from a ghostlike state, the Surrealans must find the
soul mates of their people. John is the soul mate of Jasira, a schoolteacher and midwife’s assistant with a fiery temper and a stubborn streak well-suited to challenging the Seacat warrior. But a war against her people left Jasira and many other Surrealans as mist, invisible and silent to non-Surrealans, only able to reform as solid people by borrowing energy
from their soul mates. In a series of erotic encounters, she seduces John, who believes he’s hopelessly in love with a ghost. Their peculiar relationship, formed by communicating only through sex and yes-or-no questions, strengthens as they realize they both want the same thing out of life: a family they can keep safe from tyranny and prejudice. Combining elements of sci-fi and fantasy in a space-opera style, Kong has created a strange new universe peopled with
interesting alien races. The physical romance between John and Jasira is steamy, though their interactions are necessarily confined, and John has a tendency to scold his ghostly love. The prose is occasionally awkward, too, and the expression of alien dialects is often more confusing than atmospheric. Still, the setup is intriguing, and given the number of John’s siblings, the Sea-anan saga has the potential to keep readers entertained for several installments.
