Champion (Galactic Gladiators) Paperback – April 25, 2017

The more I read this group of books the more I love them. They have everything they could storyline a lot of hot sex and you can read them in any order and still get the full enjoyment

Space Marine Blaine Strong is struggling to overcome his time as a slave in the underground fighting rings. The drugs they gave him have made him more aggressive and now he struggles to control himself. When the House of Galen is attacked he fights with the gladiators to take down their enemies and rescue the humans. Along the way he admits his feelings for the beautiful and dangerous Saff Essikani.“Sometimes things look bad, impossible even, but you have to believe things will get better and keep moving toward it.”This was an action packed adventure with a very hot couple. I really enjoyed this book. Blaine is struggling to deal with what was done to him in the fighting rights. Saff is the only one who gets through to him and really understands how much he is struggling. She helps him embrace the fact he will never be the same man again. I really liked Blaine and do wonder if we will see more human men in future books since we know more were taken.“He kissed her like he needed her to live. Needed her to breathe. Like he could find all the answers inside her.”Saff was a beautiful and deadly woman. I really liked her. She was sold to the arena and has earned her freedom but the scars from her past still remain. These two had great chemistry and were a kickass couple. I couldn’t get enough of either of them, especially when they were fighting together.I really can’t wait to dive into the next book because things are really ramping up against the slavers. We are getting closer to finding the location of the fight rings and the rest of the humans but it gets more dangerous with every new piece of information. I love the mixture of romance and danger in this series. Hackett really knows how to mix the two and create an amazing world and characters.

I enjoyed this read, with elements of blood, fighting, revenge and sexy times. The MMC Blaine has been forced to fight and kill, injected with drugs has helped him survive somewhat. MFC Saff a born warrior, loyal and like Blaine hates slavery. They both help each other to conquer their inner turmoil piece by piece. I love how the author portrays a secondary character in each book before their own story. The storyline for this series is consistent which I feel keeps it more relatable to the reader, well to me anyway, thus the 5 stars.

I love Saff and her fierceness and confidence. She is attracted to Blaine immediately but Blaine is recovering from everything the alien slavers did to him. They both have a mutual goal - find the three Earth women who are still held by those same alien slavers. During their journey to find those women, they bond in many ways and it gets very steamy then they come to the realization that they are meant for each other. This is a great story, well written and lots of action.

"How about the best of three?" Loved this last line. A perfect ending for Staff and Blaine's story. It so describes their relationship. I am mostly enjoying this series, but it is starting to drag a bit. Just how many times will they have to rescue the same girls?

Once again Anna Hackett with her series Galactic Gladiators hit it out of the ballpark.I love how each book tells, builds each character. How the two main (romantic ones) builds their relationships when trouble is all around them.The only problem with this book it was too short. I am not going to spoil the ending.

Galactic Gladiators book 5. A fanfreakingtastic read. Blaine is a human and also a total Badass alpha space marine. He is captured by some evil alien guys and put in underground fighting. As a slave they also hook him on some drugs. He is a warrior in the ring. Saff is a gladiator from another planet and she is a freaking badass in and outside the arena. She is part of the crew that rescued him and some others. Once free he has some serious anger issues and Saff is there to help. As she trains him for the arena, and plan to rescue some other humans, they fall for each other. Nothing is easy in this situation. Angsty, hella dramatic, gritty and sexy.

I can't believe I downloaded the first in this series only 3 days ago and I'm about to download the next now and start it right away! I've hardly slept at all. I've only stopped reading to get a little sleep in, cook food for the family, load the dishwasher and take care of my fur babies. That's how enthralled I am in this series.

Blaine the only human male gladiator with the dark drug induced rages. Saff the female gladiator is attracted to him.

Loved this book and the relationships between the main characters,I'm so pleased to see that all of my favourites are finding love and can't wait to read the next book in this series ,I would recommend these books to everyone if you love sexy males lots of hot sexy scenes then you really need to read these books

Saff é uma mulher incrível e forte que nasceu filha de uma prostituta do harém do pai que era rei. Era escrava e quando se rebelou foi vendida. Só acho que devia ter falado mais da história dela. Do que ela passou e superou porque deu apenas uma ideia. E o Blaine era um soldado nobre que foi drogado e obrigado a lutar até a morte para sobreviver. Ele quer voltar a ser como antes mas isso é impossível.

I couldn't wait to read Blaine's story and was excited that there was a connection to Saff.Saff who is a confident, strong gladiator at the top of her game.Blaine who was rescued from the underground rings has to deal with the darkness within him, trying to regain control while trying to maintain his sanity.I loved how Anna has woven his pain and how it's turned out on these pages. Especially seeing the strong, intense connection between him and Saff.We get to see new characters introduced and more creatures coming at you.Looking forward to reading about the barbarian Nero.

Not an complex book to read, the characters are well-described and the plot and story reasonably well developed. Have read a few books by this author and don't like the writing style.
