Alien Warrior Unleashed

Galaxy Games, Book 1

De: Ava Ross

Narrado por: Tawnia Murray, Lance Greenfield

Forced to compete in a deadly game, a tortured alien hero will do everything to protect his fated mate.

As a child, I was stolen by the lord of my planet’s invaders. He brought me to the chamber, where he held others he’d also taken. Through the years, me and my new brothers were twisted into hardened beasts, each with a unique ability that shouldn’t exist outside of myth.

We’re monsters. Any female who gazes upon us will run.

Now, we’ve been entered into the Galaxy Games. Each landscape contains a series of deadly pitfalls, shifting goalposts, and an elusive final destination. It’s my chance to break free.

But I’m paired with a delectable Earth female who makes me see color for the very first time, proving she’s my fated mate.

I’ll finish this Game. I’ll free my brothers. And I’ll claim the Earthling female as my prize.

Alien Warrior Unleashed is book one of the Galaxy Games series. Each book features a different, tortured alien hero who’s desperate to find—and protect—his fated mate.

can't wait to hear the others

loved the narrators , the story is a good one keeps you engaged waiting to hear more.

I highly recommend

I had to force myself to pause and go to bed. Only because I had to work next day and my job requires me to fully awake and alert. This book will not disappointment. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

blah

this was a really corny story. it was ok but really nothing to write home about

the drama and Sexy male

l like the fact that the male didn't give up and the female was strong and the romance was very sweet. The story was very engaging and is very memorable.

Different story line

A cross between survivor and hunger games. If we loose we die. Are they betting against is? We will win even though everything is against us. Oh and when we should rest we learn each other. We wont have to live with each other is one does because we both do.

Everything I enjoy the games they played

I like everything about this book except when his mother died and the way the evil race invader took his homeland.

Swimming in the shallow end of the kiddie pool

Even with my love of campy alien romance, this was too cutesy and immature for me. This combines alien abduction with a Hunger Games theme, where alien Tetrix and human Ana are put into a planet-sized arena and need to capture a flag to with their freedom. They can get gifts from sponsors and there’s a drone that records their progress. But, except for the very beginning and end, it’s just the two of them in the wild for the whole story. There are no other contestants and no bad guy (unless you count the faceless Council that run the games). All of this meant the games weren’t very exciting. The danger felt very Scooby-Doo cartoonish.

I get that the game is just the vehicle to get to the romance, but unfortunately the romance was even more juvenile. Tetrix is essentially a giant kid, raised in captivity and has never had a woman. But, he conveniently has sentient hair that functions like sex toys and his lips alone can bestow the “Fiery Kiss of Bliss” (essentially an O from kissing). 🙄 And, he is the bestest lover because one of his fellow captives told him how to please a woman. 🙄🙄 He spends too much time wallowing in “who could love a beast” insecurity or obsessing about how he’s going to honor and cherish his insta-mate. It all felt like a high schooler’s idea of romantic wish fulfillment.

Ana is slightly more adult, although she does a “Na na Na na Na Na” victory dance when they win the game (and I mean she literally says “Na na Na na Na Na” while looking into the camera). 🙄🙄🙄 I just couldn’t get into these kids getting it on in the middle of a life and death struggle. Maybe that’s why the naughty bits (two scenes not counting the occasional Fiery Kiss of Bliss) did absolutely nothing for me.

For reference, for campy, sexy alien gladiator romance, I preferred Anna Hackett’s Galactic Gladiators (first three books available in a collection) or Ruby Dixon’s Bad Guy (happens post-gladiator life).
