Rogue: A Scifi Alien Romance (Galactic Gladiators Book 8)

Rogue is book eight in the Galactic Gladiators series by Anna Hackett. This book has two novellas in it which feature Ryan and Zhim and Neve and Corsair. I like that the author put these two novellas into one book.I love this series! The world keeps building and we always get to see something new. The two stories here branch off and feature secondary characters that have been helping out the Gladiators in searching for the human’s that have been captured and imprisoned.Information Rogue: Zihm and Ryan’s StoryBoth are computer/information geeks. They pit their wits against each other which transfers into fun and hilarious banter and competition. Zhim is the information broker on the plant. He’s the one you go to when you need information. Ryan is determined to help find the remaining missing humans.Desert Rogue: Corsair and Neve’s StoryNeve is a bad ass. She has a hidden agenda, but now she’s trapped on Kor Magna and her agenda has changed. Corsair is a caravan leader. He’s the pirate of the desert. These two team up to navigate the deadly landscape that is second nature to Corsair.As always we are treated to action, danger, and romance. The over all ARC progress and we learn that their are more survivors to save. We are also treated to glimpses of the Gladiators. Both novellas progresses quickly and where enjoyable. I just wish they were a bit longer.Rated: 3 Stars

Information Rogue: 4 starsRyan Nagano is working tirelessly to find the location of the missing humans. In between struggling with her PTSD and anxiety she torments the information merchant Zhim by hacking into his files. These two team up to hack files and rescue Neve from a deadly maze.What a steamy couple! These two quickly went from combative competitors to lovers. These two worked extremely well together. They both are very experienced hackers and working together they can get through anything.Ryan was such a spunky and determined woman. I just loved her. Zhim has been hiding his soft side behind his reputation. I love a hero who is secretly sweet. Also I loved how Zhim encouraged Ryan to try things off her list.Desert Rogue: 4 starsNeve Hayes is determined to find her sister. She reluctantly works with the desert caravan leader Corsair to find a map to Zaabah. During the journey she finds more than just a map though, she loses her heart.Corsair was such a great hero. I have been curious about the desert caravans since they were first introduced. The desert way seems to be such a community based one and I loved it. Corsair lets the desert guide him, rescues those in need, and is just a great man. I really loved his personality and character. He is the perfect person for Neve because he pushes her to open up and live for herself, not just for others.Neve was a little annoying in the beginning because of her reluctance to ask for help. She makes a couple bad decisions and is very reckless. Working with Corsair changes her and makes her realize leaning on people for help isn’t a bad thing.We end this book with a glimpse of Rillian! I cannot wait for his book, especially after we see that he might be more than just a simple alien.

As the House of Galen gladiators expand their reach to retrieve more enslaved humans, we’ve been introduced to a number of intriguing characters. Both Zhim and Corsair are males with deep-seated needs, who have been assisting House of Galen. Ryan has outrageous computer skills,and although she has a delightful playful side, she’s dedicated to doing whatever is possible to rescue the rest of the women from the desert arena. She and Zhim make a beautiful match and an awesome team!Corsair, our desert caravaner (a favorite of mine), is attracted to Neve, a woman we met in a previous book. Neve has been fighting for her life for a long time now. She is extremely intense and has wicked fighting skills! It’s awesome watching Corsair and her work together to reach their goals, and then fall in love. These two novellas have plenty of excitement as our folks work to rescue people - and some very surprising outcomes! Excellent reading!

I liked the series up until Beast, which I found to be fairly repetitive and average. Basically, the entire series is just earth woman falls for space alien (with the exception of man falls for female gladiator), and it's OK, same thing keeps happening but it's readable.But these 2 stories, although much shorter, seemed so much longer because they were quite tedious and I felt like I was reading the same books over and over.I won't be reading any more of this series due to the quantity over quality issue that has just now surfaced. I'd rather they took longer to write and had better stories and characterization, than getting the books out there fast.Very disappointing book.

After reading eight of these books, they are becoming predictable. Even though we seem to have run out of gladiators, there are allies. Zhim kind of surprised me. Corsair not so much. But this saving only one girl at a time from even more horrific evil, will the last one survive?

Ohh,!Wow!! I cannot get enough of this installment, the storyline complete with adventure, sass and all sorts of delicious bits will suck you right through the pages of this ebook. Loving it so much that i know the next story will be as wild as the others.❤️🔥👏

I read books 1 thru 7 in just over 3 days with little sleep. I downloaded this book just before bed last night and I fell into an exhausted sleep and slept for 10 hours. So now I'm well rested to keep going. Downloading the next book now. This series has a little bit of everything and keeps you constantly intrigued to see what happens next.

I'm glad for these stories. They were short, but complete and hot. Two more couples finding their happiness. These books are starting to take us outside the arena and introduce us to the desert life. Its so complex and interesting.

Enjoyed this book,I would have liked more from each story but still can't wait to read the next book i have loved all the characters so much and can't get enough of reading about them,I also enjoy the fact that they keep croping up in each other's books i would recommend these books to everyone they're adictive and I know you will enjoy them

By the sands I loved these action packed, sizzling hot space adventures! The plot continues along nicely with 2 shorter novellas. Awesome read! And waiting in anticipation for the next one.

Good story full of excitement its works well if read other books so you know who other people are.

See review for Beast. Another exciting eddition to the series

Great resd
