Hannah's Warrior

The Cosmos' Gateway Series, Book 2

By: S. E. Smith

Narrated by: Suzanne Elise Freeman

Hannah Bell, the oldest of the three Bell sisters, spends most of her time in the remotest parts of the world photographing endangered animals. She is also gifted with an extraordinary sixth sense, which has saved her life on more than one occasion. When she senses something has happened to her littlest sister, Tink, she will do whatever it takes to protect her. What she doesn't know is her sister's best friend's new science experiment has opened a portal to another world - a world she is about to be taken to whether she wants to go or not.

Borj 'Tag Krell Manok is the calmest of his four brothers, or so he always thought. The second oldest, he has been assigned the task by his father and the council to bring the sister of his brother's bond mate to their world. Borj knows deep down that Hannah is destined to be his bond mate - something he has hoped for since his first mating-rite ceremony. What he doesn't expect when he meets her is her resistance - or her independence.

When she is kidnapped by a rival clan, Borj will do anything to get her back. Hannah and Borj's escape into the vast forests of Prime draw them together in a fight not only for their lives but for a deeper understanding and trust between two vastly different worlds. Borj discovers Hannah is a fierce and cunning mate while Hannah discovers Borj is the perfect warrior to protect and love her.

3.5 Stars 🌟

This is the second book in this particular series, and I have a feeling that I am going to be breezing my way through every single book in the next day or two. I wonder how many books there are anyway? (I just looked...there are 7) Anyway, on an even better note, Audible was having this crazy sale the other week and they had books on sale for crazy prices...I think that books in this series were like $2.00 or something crazy like that...I mean, seriously? How can you not just go crazy?

A little back history, I found this author a couple of years ago and TOTALLY fell in love with her "Dragon Lords of Valdier" series so for $2.00, I was being pro-active and getting the whole series because....duh! Oh, and on another note, Dragon Lords in space might sound a bit out there, but to this day, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that series....but I digress....

Okay, back to this series. So far, we have been introduced to Cosmos and Tink, who have been best friends as well as family friends forever. He is a brilliant billionaire who is constantly inventing things and Tink is an extremely smart woman with many skills. She is a mechanic, has great self defense skills, can problem solve...(but that was book 1) This book introduces us to her older sister Hannah - so we need to talk about Hannah. In book 1, we discovered the situation that has occurred with Cosmos' latest invention - a portal to a previous unknown galaxy - and the fact that now, there just might be a solution to the problem on that world of a shortage of women.

Let me just be honest and admit that what makes S.E. Smith such a fantastic writer is that no matter what the story arc or plot is with her books, there is always absolutely amazing character development. We always get to meet and end up falling in love with the crazy characters that she introduces us to. In this case, it is the big bad warriors from another galaxy, and then the crazy Bell family...consisting of Tink, Hannah, Tansy and of course...mom and Dad Bell.

So, hold on to your hats and just know that this is going to be a fun ride. The men from this new planet aren't going to know what hit them when they meet the independent and shocking women from Earth. Oh, and the plots from these books are also full of action, drama and a couple of interesting twists.

Gotta go - 2 down, 5 more to go.....

OMG!

OMG! I love to read/listen to S.E. Smith stories. This is the second book in the Cosmos' Gateway series. This Hannah and Borj's story. It's filled with fast-paced action, good vs bad element, lots of sex scenes & hot Alien Warriors. Hannah is Tink's oldest sister, who is a wildlife photographer. Borj is everything that Hannah needs right now from fierce and protective and patient. Filled with suspense, drama, action, sexy hot yummy scenes and tons of laughter. Hannah and Borj are two strong, passionate characters that mesh well from the beginning. Love this series never can put them down until the end. Hope that it never never ends. I feel that you WILL need to read/listen to them in order. Can't wait to read the next book in this series. I felt like Suzanne Elise Freeman did an amazing job with bringing the each characters in to life. Keep up the amazing job!

Another ride in the unknown and more adventure

S.E. Smith has done it again for me. I love the work of Cosom's Gateway. The Gateway opened by pure accident has lead to many a new adventures for a family of women and their friends. This time around was Hannah's turn. She finds that she had a dream that could only be brought to life by a man out of this world. Dreams do come true. She strong, determined and have been through much. Borj would do anything to meet the lady from the picture. He just never imagined that she would knock him out on multiple occasions. The whole bonding thing without consent was not the fave of mine but it was a part of the culture and customs of the world that has in-directly become involved with Earth. Join the ups, downs, and adventures of Borj and Hannah. Her parents are just wonderful. The take down of these strong men are fun and entertaining. Just because Earth women are small they are powerful.

Narrator Suzanne Elise Freeman has grown on me with her distinctive voices for the various characters that we meed in this installment. The consistency of tone, pitch, and voices for each person.

Strong Female Lead (just like in book 1)

Book two was just as amazing as the first. Once again, a woman that takes no prisoners when it comes to her safety! We also revisit Tink and her progress. Its pretty cool to see the progression without it being repetitive. I’ve read series where I felt like they were retelling the first book again – that’s not the case here.
