Story
I’m not looking for a hero, and definitely not a fake relationship with my new boss, nightclub owner Dante Fury—over six feet of dark, hot, and dangerous. But he isn’t taking no for an answer. The plan was to run, live under the radar, survive. My life’s been destroyed by some very bad people and everything I know is gone—career, friends, family. I thought I could hide as a bartender at New Orleans’ hottest new club, Ember.

When an experimental starship test goes horribly wrong, a test pilot from Earth is flung across the galaxy and crash lands on the planet of a powerful alien king. Pilot Mallory West is having a really bad day. She’s crashed on an alien planet, her ship is in pieces, and her best friend Poppy, the scientist monitoring the experiment, is missing. Dazed and injured, she collapses into the arms of a big, silver-eyed warrior king. But when her rescuer cuffs her to a bed and accuses her of being a spy, Mal knows she has to escape her darkly tempting captor and find her friend.

Publisher's summary
Roth Masters is a protector to the bone. Driven by the losses of his past, he fights side-by-side with Hell Squad to protect the human survivors of the alien invasion. As leader of Squad Nine, he and his team are known for their perfect timing in a firefight. But Roth knows they need more intel on the raptor invaders - something to turn the tide of the battle. And he knows the woman he rescued from an alien facility is hiding secrets he desperately wants to uncover.
Former Coalition Central Intelligence Agent Avery Stillman is still adjusting to her new life. Left with terrible gaps in her memory, she has vague recollections of failed negotiations with the aliens, the invasion, and after that...nothing. Until a hard-bodied soldier pulled her from a tank in an alien lab. Now she's trying desperately to remember, to help fight back, and also battling the crazy attraction to the man who keeps pushing her for things she can't remember.
Soon Roth finds himself torn between his duty and keeping the strong woman he's falling for safe. As the pair head into alien territory to investigate, they are attacked and crash land alone, far from base. They have to work together to survive the aliens, but when Avery finally remembers everything...her secrets could annihilate all they hold dear.

Hell Squad, Volume 5 doen't disappiont
Love this series! With each book, the story becomes more complex and involved, building the back story of the invasion a bit at a time. Hell Squad makes more of a guest appearance here and the story revolves around Roth, head of squad 9 (LOVE the idea of an all female squad with a couple of token men) and Avery, a new character, briefly mentioned in a previous book.
Written with Ms. Hackett's wonderful style and talent, ROTH is a definite hit and must read in this genre. Great narration by Jeffrey Kafer & Samantha Cook who bring the action and the characters to life

Still holding strong in the alien invasion. We meet new people in this book and new alien monstrosities, can’t wait for the next book. Loving the world building. Wish the books were a bit longer. I get these with my Kindle unlimited then purchase the audio using the Whispersync sales. Recommend reading them in order, as it follows a timeline. Narrators are great.

Another winner
Series is still building on similar theme with some differences. Enjoying all of the action and the love and sex is great; not too over the top. There thoughts out loud are funny; nothing like a cocky Alpha male (no pun intended) with a spicy female. Narrators continue to do a great job with characters. On to the next book. This should be a TV series.

Fascinating
Avery and Roth initially had a frenemies vibe with one another due to her inability to remember vital information. However, things change when she has a minor fall that causes memories to resurface and brings Roth’s protective instincts to the surface!! They’re mutual respect, determination to defeat the enemy, and defense of those less fortunate cement an unshakable bond between them! Their relationship has plenty of sexual chemistry, humorous dialogue and adventurous activities that make their story fascinating to listen to 🎧. The narrators were wonderful too! Can’t wait to listen to more of the series!!

great series, I love these characters
I love this series- full of action, strong women and a fantastic romance. These books have a specific formula- men and women who are fighting against the aliens who wiped away most of the earth, find love in this tragic situation. Roth and Avery have to go through, erm, hell, to achieve their HEA and it's a great ride. I also listened to the audiobook through audible escape and it's great- same narrators as the prior books and they do a great job bringing the story bringing it to life.

I liked this one - it was a bit like the others, didn't stand out that much but wasn't bad either. Just another couple in the series. Love that some of the backstory is uncovered though. You find out what happened, who betrayed humanity and opened the possibility for some different story lines in the future.

The narrators did a good job. I'm enjoying this series and I like the each book is about a different couple. Each book also has a specific mission within this action packed series with a continuation story arc. I really enjoyed this story between Roth and Avery as things heat up with the aliens.

Secrets and Lies
Squad Nine's leader Roth Masters is a protector to the bone and he would die for his team, for the band of survivors he fights for. But he knows fighting won't win the war, they need intel to drive the aliens away and he knows someone who may have the key, if only she can remember it.
Former Coalition Central Intelligence Agent Avery Stillman is now free from the aliens, but she knows that in her fragmented memory she holds important information. Information that is crucial to everyone's survival. She fights to remember whilst battling her growing attraction for the man who keeps pushing her for answers that she doesn't have. The gorgeous arrogant man who drives her crazy. The man who doesn't believe her!
On a mission, they are attacked and crash land alone. Roth will need to put everything on the line to protect the woman he is cares. A woman whose secrets could annihilate all they hold dear. A woman he would die for.
OMG the heat between Roth and Avery was enough to set my kindle on fire. This is another amazing Hell Squad book which provides a lot more information about the original alien invasion and pushes the story along nicely. More characters are introduced and that I can't wait to get to know better. Well done Anna.

There's more than one happy ending in this action
Reviewed by SFF Dragon*
Updated Review for Audible Version
There's more than one happy ending in this action packed sci-fi romance. I absolutely loved it and can't wait for the next one.
I absolutely love Anna Hackett's stories, I've read quite a lot of them over the years, actually, everything she's written and she's one of my all-time favourite authors. Her stories never disappoint, and nor does this fantastic addition to the list of must read books. 'Roth' is the fifth book in the Hell Squad series and I absolutely loved this action packed romance set in and around the post alien invasion ruins of Sydney. When I originally read this book nearly five years ago now, I thought I'd just read a bit before breakfast, but it grabbed me on the first page and I really didn't want to put it down. I was so engrossed in this action packed story that I didn't notice the time passing or anything in the here and now until I got to the end, and I was left with a smile on my face and the distinct impression I'd not only missed breakfast, but lunch as well and it was getting dark. It's a good thing my partner can cook or I'd have missed dinner too. This audio version grabbed my attention in exactly the same way and I listened to it all day, but I did, at least, remember to eat this time with the added bonus that I didn't have to stop listening to do it..... Yay!!!
I re-read my favourite books on a fairly regular basis, but I now suffer from varying problems with my eyes, and I decided to give audio books another chance. I've mostly avoided them in the past because the narrators left a lot to be desired and generally ruined the books. Taking the literary equivalent of a nice, crisp, juicy salad with zing and turning it into something akin to a month-old limp lettuce leaf. I'm overjoyed to say that the two who narrate this series, Jeffrey Kafer and Samantha Cook are incredibly good, truly the exception rather than the rule. They managed to maintain the gritty fight for survival action adventure nature of the book and I highly recommend it to any lover of all-action, alien invasion sci-fi wrapped in a little romance with a few steamy bits for added spice. But, as this is a series with each story following on from the one before and having the start of the next story somewhere in the last chapter or two, I do suggest that you start from the first book, 'Marcus', and then listen to them in order. It'll be worth it and you get the survivors' story from the beginning-ish. The series is set around Sydney, the capital of the United Coalition of former Commonwealth nations and the USA, and actually begins about six months after an alien invasion which decimated the planet and killed billions in the first wave of the attack.
Although this book is part of the Hell Squad series, Roth Masters is actually the leader of Squad Nine, based at the Blue Mountain military facility. They do recon and provide back up on an almost daily basis for Squad Six, known to one and all as Hell Squad. Roth is angry, frustrated and desperately in need of something they can use to fight the Gizzida, the aliens who attacked Earth over a year ago. He thinks he knows who can help, but former United Coalition Central Intelligence Special Agent Avery Stillman has a memory which is more like a Swiss cheese since she spent a year in an alien tank, and has blinding headaches every time she tries to remember what happened. She can't remember anything after the initial negotiations with the aliens started and no amount of interrogation by Roth, the man who rescued her, will change that. But there is more going on between them than frustrating question and answer sessions, and they're both afraid to trust or care because of their past experiences. All will be revealed, as will the part played by The Enclave.
I'm not going to give any spoilers, but this is an absolutely terrific book with everything you could possibly want. It has humour, strong alpha males, as well as equally strong alpha females who are some of the best and toughest soldiers around, action, aliens and other bad guys to fight, survivors to rescue, traitors to be found and a steamy love story with a happy ending. It has another happy ending too, but I'm not going to say what it is. It did leave a smile on my face though. I loved it and can't wait for the next one.
5 more than well earned stars along with places on my 'read/listen again' and 'rescue if the house is burning down' lists.

and here we go
the story opens up nicely by introducing the Enclave. now we have different environment and different characters and lots of different types of action. Roth and Avery are a good couple it was nice to see section 9 come in to their own, especially seeing as it's women dominated.
I like the introduction of a different type of Alien it gives the book a bit more drama and action, what is Anna going to think of next?
Samantha and Jeffrey did an awesome job as usual and I'm looking forward to Anna's next book in the series. these are an awesome read and I'm enjoying them immensely.

Brilliant
Book 5 of Hell Squad called Roth is all about Roth Masters and Avery Stillman. They meet when Roth drags her from and alien tank during a rescue and she fights like a wild cat, his interest is peaked immediately. Later in another mission Roth gains some information that puts Avery firmly in his crosshairs but, as he interrogates her he learns things he never expected and he begins to really like her, then she undergoes a dangerous procedure to regain lost memories and things really take a turn for the worst. When they are stranded together on a mission fighting for their lives their relationship really takes off and they fall hard for each other. This is another story full of aliens, double crossing humans, standard humans, humour, lots of action and some scorching hot romance. All in all a triumphant combination that kept me listening on for more.

Story
It’s a good thing Gabe Bristow lives and breathes the Navy SEAL credo, “the only easy day was yesterday”, because today, his life is unrecognizable. When his prestigious career comes to a crashing halt, he’s left with a bum leg and few prospects for employment that don’t include a desk. That is, until he’s offered the chance to command a private hostage-rescue team and free a wealthy American businessman from Colombian paramilitary rebels.
