Was okI wasn't as enthusiastic about this second book as I was of the first book. I liked the characters well enough along with the storyline, but something about this book just didn't click with me. Maybe I feel it is the same recipe over again - human slave rescued by barbarian gladiator and they fall in love. The action is there,but I think it is !missing that emotional component. I think I'll take a break from. Reading the next in the series.
This series is full of action and the romance I crave! Love knowing that there are so many books in this series, I feel like when I get to binge watch shows on Netflix! Going to gorge myself on the rest and then move on to Anna's Hell Squad series (16 in that one). If you loved the movie Gladiator (I sure did) then you should definitely check this series out. Does have Less death and more lovin'!
The Warrior is Thorin and Reagan’s book. Reagan was just rescued from the Thraxians, and Thorin is the big ax wielding gladiator that’s good friends with Raiden. It’s totally nitpicky, but I don’t like it when authors use similar names in books. I read fast and it trips me up, so I wasn’t a fan of Reagan and Raiden being so similar. 😏Reagan and I didn’t get off on the right foot when she snarked “She has a name” after they almost died saving her ass last book. I wish I could say she gets better,...
This was just an "ok" read for me. I found it to be overly predictable and cliche. I doubt I will continue this series.
Cute SF romance, but the heroine was too weak and sometimes TSTL for me.
Having somehow survived a hellish ordeal Regan is now far from home with no way to return. Thrust into a world of violence were might equals right. Yes she's overjoyed to be reunited with her friend Harper but it's the scarily remote gladiator Thorin that catches her eye. Determined to be useful Regan utilises her botanist skills to find a way to be productive. When out in the market though Regan realises her cousin Rory is being held as a slave somewhere on the planet. Regan will do everything
I can’t believe I’m about to say this, because I usually love Anna Hackett’s stories, but I very nearly put this book down unfinished. Several times. I found the first book in the series fun, if a little formulaic with its alpha male fighters, but this one wasn’t even fun. At least not at first. I have a few reasons for this.Let’s start with Regan. Having read the first book, Gladiator, I knew she was in the attack on the space station and turned into a slave, which was a horrible time and got p...
Loved it! Looking forward to the next book in the Gladiator series :-)
Did not finish reading.I stopped because the main character was unrealistic. She had been kidnapped and enslaved and was recently rescued. She knows her environment is rough where might makes right. She knows she is a small female with NO experience with protecting herself. Yet she continuously puts herself in situations where she can get hurt stating she can take care of herself, when it is obvious she can not protect herself in that environment. Now I love strong female leads, but that strengt...
3.5 stars.This is The Geek and the Gladiator - sci-fi style , or as one of the other characters called them "The Beauty and the Beast". (view spoiler)[We're back in the Kor Magna Arena where the Gladiators of the House of Galen fight against other Gladiator Houses in the open and then save slaves and help them gain freedom in secrecy. (hide spoiler)]I'm not sure whether Reagan is brave or stupid for her defiance since she's the smallest and weakest being around but it's cute seeing big, scary T...
The big bad warrior!!Loved this one just as much as the first!! I'm truly hooked to this series!! Lots of kick ass action and steamy scenes! On to the next one!
3.75 stars.❤️
Hot and Short Not a long complex novel, but fiery hot and quick read about three hours. BTW did I saw HOT I meant scorching. Sexy Alien Gladiator plus Earth Girl = explosive explicit bedroom romp. Not much Science Fiction as mostly swords and axes, but fun escapism.
The first in this series was the 3rd book I read this year.Now I'm giving myself a mental shake because why the hell did I not continue!? Seriously, I loved this one almost as much as the first.Almost.There were a few things that bothered me in this one.Although I liked Thorin for the most part, he pushed Reagan away a lot. Like dude, enough is enough. And as if that wasn't bad enough he... (view spoiler)[let other women attach themselves to him and even kissed one AFTER Reagan expressed interes...
Another great one, smart and feisty heroine and a somewhat angsty gladiator.
