Publisher's summary

Xacier was once king of the proud Kell Empire, but after his cousin's betrayal, he is enslaved in the fighting arena. The only way to survive? Kill everyone and be the champion. With his strength and skill, only a few battles now stand between Xacier and his freedom, and he will stop at nothing to get out and get his revenge.

But when a human woman is thrown into the arena, Xacier will find himself fighting to defend her, at the risk of losing his freedom—and his life.

Samantha is crossing the galaxy to visit her ailing mother when she is sold to the Frirens and tossed into the middle of an arena battle. Completely out of her element, her only hope of making it out of here alive lies with the strong and ruthless alien who claims her as his prize.

Winning their freedom won't be easy, though, and even if they do make it out together, Samantha isn't sure she'll be able to part ways with this warrior who captured her body and her heart.

No cliff-hangers, no cheating, HEA guaranteed!

Be Careful Who You Brush Off

An amazingly interesting story with a human that rejects an advance and finds herself sold into slavery as a gladiator prize. Luckily for her the winner is a
hunk in a mission. I loved it!

Battling their way to freedom

Story: Samantha (h) finds herself sold to aliens who user her as a prize in their alien gladiator fight arena. Xacier (H) is a large terrifying looking alien who is fighting his way through numerous fights to battle his way to freedom and has no interest in a battle prize, much less a mate. When he wins and is awarded Samantha, Xacier finds himself stepping into the role of her protector. Their feelings and sexual tension between the two deepen. Lots of action and adventure with different battles along the way as Xacier and Samantha have to work together to get out of the area to win their freedom and find their HEA.

Audio: Narrator was fine, though as always, I just don't care for a male narrator trying to do a female voice and vice versa. I'd rather a narrator just stick with one voice - I don't switch back and forth with gender voices when I read, and I honestly just find it annoying.

"How had her life gone from creating life..."

"How had her life gone from creating life to killing it?"

Samantha is on a journey to see her ailing mother... straightforward and simple, until it isn't.

Xacier is dealing with the consequences of betrayal, fighting tooth and nail to regain what was once his, and he isn't going to let anything or anyone stand in his way.

This is a well paced, interesting story, full of secondary characters who could have interesting stories all their own.

I don't typically go for male narrators of romance books, since these typically have a lot of female dialogue and perspective, but I really enjoyed the narrator/audio version of this book. This was an engaging reading.

Xacier and Samantha!

My favorite part of scifi romances is when you can tell there is a language barrier. let the hilarious misunderstandings commence! This book is no different!! so cute! must read!.
