Guardian

Galactic Gladiators, Book 9

By: Anna Hackett

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

Rescued from alien slavers, former cop Dayna wakes to discover she's host to a powerful alien symbiont, and the only man who can help her is the mysterious and dangerous casino owner, Rillian.

Dayna Caplan has dedicated her life to protecting others...and now that she's no longer a captive at the desert arena of Zaabha, she desperately wants to help find the last of the other human women who were abducted by the Thraxians. But now she has to deal with the intense hunger and powerful new abilities the alien living inside grants her...and the person forcing her to confront her new reality is the cool, enigmatic, and far-too-attractive Rillian.

Rillian has wheeled and dealed his way to the top of the food chain on the lawless desert world of Carthago. He lets no one close and keeps iron-clad control on his life...which is vital to keeping the lethal power within him in check. But one human woman - tough, stubborn, and fascinating Dayna - works her way under his skin, and he finds himself obsessed with protecting her. But as dead bodies start appearing in his casino as a deadly warning, dangers are closing in on them.

With their allies, the gladiators from the House of Galen, Rillian and Dayna find themselves fighting for survival on every front. On the hunt to find Zaabha and the lost humans, they will face murderers, slavers, and the deadliest of all challenges...the aliens living within them.

Sexy Rillian gets his own book- YUMMY!

Galactic Gladiators has a refreshing addition in this book about sexy, mega rich, and lethal Dark Nebula Casino owner Rillian and Dayna- the rescued human who is fighting to regain some semblance of normalcy after being abducted and then captured by a vicious alien witch. The challenges they face are similar yet refreshingly different from the rest of the books in this series. The sparks that fly between these two are explosive - the intimate scenes are over the top (18+ ONLY- no joke!)). A note on the Audible audio version: Vivienne Leheny does an AMAZIMG job on this book- I swear I was transported right to Carthago while listening.

Rillian

I love how Dana has to be with Rillian, in Rillian's space, in order to work out her own symbiote situation. Dana is a strong, independent woman who challenges untouchable Rillian to maybe change some of his views.

I also love Rillian's development. He's already known as hot and incredibly rich and powerful, but with this story we see even more why we can't get enough.

Story is great on its own, but incredible within the continuation of the larger world with all its good and bad.

Redundant

Storylines although have some differences, have the same theme; kinda tired of hear women harping about the women still missing, the not so smart decisions, and the women always saving the day with trained and skilled warriors (doesn’t make common sense) like they have done this all of there lives or developed super human strength. Ready for the addition of a male narrator for true male voice; Vivienne’s narration is okay but male voices sound the same from book to book. Will finish the series. Looking forward to Magnus and the Imperator’s story.

Just right

I love these books. I have read them over and over. They have it all !!!!

Love it!

This is a killer syfy romance series. Alpha aliens? Check. Female who aren't damsels in distress? Check. Great plot? Check! Steamy romance? Check and Check! Guardian takes us out of the arena (for the most part) and shows us the night life of Carthago with a healthy dose of old fashion murder mystery. Paired with Ms. Leheny's talents Guardian is a wonderful audio book. This is a series that is on my 'must read' list because it just gets better with each book.

Another solid action packed romance book!!

This is my FAV book of the series. I've been waiting for these characters since they were introduced and I was so pleased to finally read about their story. I loved it so much. I'm a big fan and follower of Anna Hackett and i think she has the perfect blend of Action packed story with Romance. This seems to be one of the few books in the Series where we also have a bit of Mystery involved. Lots of fun, lots of love for this pairing.

Vivienne Leheny does such an amazing job narrating. She's given each character their own voice. And there are a lot of characters! Such a fun listen!!

Really good

BOOK REVIEW,,,,,,,,,,,

NARRATOR REVIEW......
The narrator did a great job

Fantastic, wonderful, steamy, romantic series

Please keep them coming. It looks like we have at least two more audio books to go. I loved them all. But this one definitely was a BIG favorite of mine. I lo v e all these gladiators and the strong woman who love the them. The. Narrator, Vivienne is fantastic. Strongly recommend.

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.

Guardian

Rillian and Dayna are two strong people who unfortunately identify with one another due to unforeseen circumstances that happened to them at different times. They have sizzling chemistry that Dayna tries to run from because she is scared of emotional connections. However, Rillian is a persistent, strong, intelligent, alpha male who is not easily deterred and gets what he wants!! Vivienne Leheny’s narration is spot on! Her talent with voices is amazing!
