Barbarian

Galactic Gladiators, Book 6

By: Anna Hackett

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

Abducted by alien slavers, experimented on, and left blind, the last thing doctor Winter Ashworth needs is a big barbarian gladiator in her life, especially an annoying one who thinks she's small and weak.

Rescued by gladiators on the desert world of Carthago, Winter is doggedly working to embrace her new life. But two of her friends are still missing and she'll do anything to help get them back...even if she has to work alongside Nero Krahn: hunter, barbarian, gladiator. The scowly, brooding man is too big, has too many muscles, and pushes all her buttons.

Nero is the House of Galen's best hunter and tracker. Raised on a barbarian world, where strength and might are prized, he was bred to hunt and fight. Now the arena is his home and his loyalty is to his imperator. He knows he can use his skills to find the two lost women, even if that means protecting a small blind woman who takes every chance to misjudge his words and lash him with her sharp tongue.

But as they follow a dangerous trail to save their friends, a new enemy emerges - one who wants Winter. The pair find themselves reluctantly attracted to each other, uncovering a scorching desire that shocks them both. As Nero fights to protect Winter, the barbarian gladiator will discover the true meaning of strength from the small Earth woman he wants to claim as his.

Note to listeners: This sci-fi romance contains a lot of action (think wild gladiatorial fights and daring rescues), tough gladiators (the warriors of the House of Galen) and a steamy romance (between a scowly barbarian gladiator and a determined doctor). So if you like it fast and gritty and sexy, this is for you!

Love it

Love the story and love the narrator. Super fast listen. Vivienne Leheny does an awesome job on each of the characters voices so there was no confusing parts about who was talking.

another fun read by Anna Hackett

I didn't expect this pairing to work but it did. lots of fiesty moments and fun Gladiator action. Another Fun listen and read!!

I need a Nero

Galactic Gladiators continues where it left off, with the Gladiators searching for their abducted friends and the search leads them to a new foe, a new group of dangerous allies, and more clues to a 'not so mythical anymore' place where yet another earth survivor might be found.

As always, Anna has wonderfully developed characters and stories to get me enthralled and waiting anxiously to see how it all turns out. Always a great read/listen.

Unbelievable, but utterly fantastic!!!

It amazes me Ms. Hackett what you can come up with. The world's you create and the alien beings are ,well to put it bluntly, out of this world. I love your stories, combined with Vivienne, your narrator, it brings everything to life. A visual feast. This audiobook was amazing.

Love in the Dark

I loved this book as much as I love this series. The gladiators are constantly brought to their knees by these fierce human women. Nero feel just as hard for his blind little doctor. Action, romance and sexy times Oh my!!!!

Loved it

Injured by the Thraxcians alien slavers that kidnapped her from the Jupiter space station, Winter who was a celebrated surgeon was safe at the House of Galen. Nero, the Barbarian Gladiator thinks she is weak due to her loss of sight. But human woman are a commodity and she has to protect herself, find a way to be a doctor and hope that she can survive after being tortured by the Thraxcians. They are still looking for 2 other Earth woman stolen from the House of Galen.

Love the story by BUT not the narrator

I actually love just about every book in this series and thought I would give the audiobook a try BUT
I would honsetly rather listen to the computer generated voice on kindle's text to speech.
When she was sounding like one of the characters, she sounded better. Especially like Winter. Nero or even Galen not so much.
What really grated on me was lack luster narration for the rest of the story. There just really wasn't any emotion. Now I wonder if the narrator but sound better in one of the other books in this series.

I really want to say thank you for to the author for putting together a great story that I can just listen to over and over.

Barbarian

Once again Anna Hackett stimulates your creative mind with Nero and Winter’s story! It makes you wish for the comforts of the advanced medicine spoken about in their story! Imagine if there were simple, affordable cures for blindness, cancers, and other incurable diseases!! 😳 Shoot! Weight loss would be a thing of the past! 😂 But I digress, Winter’s compassionate nature and inquisitive mind makes her a bit thin skinned but easily able to forgive perceived slights! Nero, on the other hand uses his brawn and protective instincts to shield Winter and Mark his territory! Their chemistry is explosive and Vivienne Leheny narrates the heck out of the storyline!!

I liked it but.....

BOOK REVIEW.......
I liked this book but didn't love the characters. I'm not even really sure what was wrong with the characters except they just didn't feel complete. There was something missing. In fact of all the books I've read from this author this was the first set of characters that didn't leave me wanting to read more about them. That being said I did still like the over all story.

NARRATOR REVIEW.....
The narrator did a great job with the characters voices.

So out there…

This storyline was so off the chain that my eyes rolled throughout the book. This is my least liked book of the series so far. The narrator is so animated that now I remember why I took a break from this series. I hope the next book is better.
