Sentinel

Galactic Gladiators: House of Rone, Book 1

By: Anna Hackett

Narrated by: Vivienne Leheny

Fighting for love, loyalty, and freedom on the galaxy’s lawless outer rim...

When Quinn Bennett’s exploration ship is attacked, the security chief finds herself abducted by alien slavers. Unable to save her crew, she is taken across the galaxy and sold to a desert scavenger on the lawless planet of Carthago. Driven by her guilt and failure, she’ll do anything to escape and save the other abductees from her ship. Chained and forced into servitude, she’s waiting for her chance to strike when, across a dusty trading post, she comes face-to-face with a big, cyborg gladiator.

Jaxer Rone’s loyalty is to his imperator - the man who saved him from a lethal cyborg military program. Jax works tirelessly for his gladiatorial house and would die for his fellow cyborgs. His emotional dampeners have never functioned well, but while he feels some emotion, he never lets it get in the way of his duty. Right now, his mission is to find the stolen humans from Earth. But when he rescues the fierce, relentless Quinn, he starts feeling a rush of emotion he’s never experienced before.

Quinn and Jax join forces to track down the aliens holding the other Earth women captive. Side by side, they venture into the desert and uncover a desire hotter than the desert suns. But the aliens who captured Quinn want her back. In order to protect Quinn, will Jax embrace his newfound feelings or shut them off to keep her safe?

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.

Loved this!

Can't wait to read book two! You guys need to really hurry with the third!!! The narrator is extremely entrancing pulling you into the story as if you were battling right along side them!! Really need the 3rd book!

The Helios!

Jax is on the hunt for human survivors of a Thraxaian abduction. Turns out that another ship, The Helios, was also attacked along with the Fortuna Station. With only the name Quinn Bennett to go on, Jax searches on.

Finding Quinn and learning all they can about who else might be out there keeps me reading and rereading. ❤️

First in a new series

Sentinel is the first in a new series in the Galactic Gladiators series. After realizing that there are more humans enslaved, Magnus, House of Rone Imperator, sends his right hand man Jaxer to investigate. I love the characters of Jax and Quinn, he not familiar with the concept of love and her knowing exactly what she wants and how to get it. Both are strong and passionate, leaping into the fray and love with both feet and eyes wide open. We are introduced to a new cast of regulars and all the action that Anna Hackett is known for. Enjoy!

A fantastic continuation. romance and action

One tough survivor falling in love with a sexy cyborg survivor. The story falls into a pattern but the banter and action keep it fun and interesting.

Love

I’m a fan of all the gladiator series I’m really glad ms Hackett continued this series with the house of roan I love the narrator she does an amazing job keeping me glued to the audible

Action/Interactions

This book has some pretty good interaction in it; I’m always amazed at how main female characters always seem to rally against the male heroine rather than the captors. Maybe because they know they will not be harmed. They narrator is good; just sounds a bit syrupy in some of her descriptions when narrating female thoughts. This is a good series and Look forward to the next book.

Convenient love for protection? Really

I liked the story, I do not think it is the best the author has written. Overall it is a good story of finding love quickly within the characters small environment. I do wish they all didn’t find love/ lust with their rescuers so fast. Well who wouldn’t lust after attractive beings but come on. Need more complexity with the women and what are they contributing to the House of Rhône besides being a bedmate?

Great story

BOOK REVIEW.........
This is a great start to a her new series. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and seeing how they reacted to their world and each other. I recommend this book and all of Ms. Hacketts books.

NARRATOR REVIEW..........
The narrator did a good job with the voices.
