About this listen
Fighting for love, honor, and freedom on the galaxy's lawless outer rim.....
Space marine Blaine Strong enjoyed being a composed, controlled member of space station security...until he was abducted by alien slavers. Forced into underground fight rings and pumped full of drugs, he's now seething with anger and out for revenge.
Rescued by gladiators and fellow humans on the desert world of Carthago, Blaine is fighting to be the man he once was. But when the House of Galen is attacked, he must focus on joining the gladiators to fight back. That means teaming up with a tough, competitive female gladiator who not only challenges him at every turn, awakens a fierce desire he's never felt before, but a woman who can sense the churning emotions inside him.
Gladiator Saff Essikani is the best net fighter in the Kor Magna Arena. Raised from young to fight, she bows to no man and uses her empathic abilities to win at whatever cost. With her House targeted and people under their care threatened, she'll stop at nothing to find those responsible. But then she finds herself face to face with a big, tortured man from Earth who affects her like no man before. As Saff and Blaine head into the desert to uncover a conspiracy, their incendiary desire flares hotter than the desert suns. But as Blaine's angry emotions rage out of control, Saff knows that unless he learns to embrace the man he is now, he has no chance of survival.

I signed up for a research mission with five other women. Instead, we crashed on an alien planet with too many dangers to count. Separated from the other women, I’m on my own until a huge alien with color-changing skin and a massive sword gets me out of a bad spot. I don’t understand Savair’s language, but I think he’s under the impression that I’m his. I am NOT his. I’m a 34-year old divorced scientist with no time for such nonsense. But if he can help me find the others in my group then perhaps I can play at being “his” for a while.

A nice romp
I really like this series but I had a harder time getting as invested in this story as some of the others. A lot was the same, desert, fighting, searching, security breaches...but overall a OK continuance of the series. The narrator is excellent and ha does the voice switching effortlessly!

The lone human male on Carthago
Blain is a formerly controlled security officer who has been recently rescued from an abduction that took him across the galaxy and made him fight for his life for months. Due to his captors, he is struggling to overcome the effects of the forced drugs and loss of lives in the fight arena.
Saff is a bad@$$ gladiator for the house of Galen and she isn't sure why Blain intrigues her so, but her species' extra sensory abilities have given her a little insight into his chaotic feelings and can't seem to brush thoughts of him aside as easily as others.
Thoroughly enjoyed this read and love how each standalone story moves the entire world events forward and connects to past and future characters and situations.

What an amazing series
I applaud you Anna Hackett. You have created a world like no other. Your words are an amazing visual art. I normally like reading a book, but I have to say the audiobook with Vivienne as narrator is so much better. Love this book with the H/ H as the main characters, it had action, drama, romance-just the right amount of steam-and all the good feels. Can't get enough of this series. Two more audio books to go.

Slow burn 🔥
Blaine and Saff’s relationship was a slow burn that developed into a raging fire!! Whoo! Blaine, a Space Marine, is captured and forced to fight for his life in a deadly underground fighting ring! Saff, a Gladiator net fighter, has fought all of her life and thrives on challenge and competition! Their initial encounter is strained but instant attraction allows them to explore a deeper connection which leads to a to a romantic relationship!! They inspire and support one another through any obstacles in their path! Overall this is a good story with all the feels!! Vivienne Leheny is fantabulous as a narrator and brings the story to life!

Storyline is getting repetitive
Hoped for more variation in this book but disappointed that the characters and use of language is becoming boring and repetitive in book 5..
