Synopsis (Goodreads):
One minute Amanda is crying over a Hallmark movie and binging chocolate. The next she is being offered as a prize to the winner of a brutal contest in an alien prison. And the biggest, scariest alien of them all just won her…

A cheating boyfriend is the least of Amanda's worries when an alien appears in her living room. Discovering she has been sold to an alien prison is terrifying. Seeing two males fight to the death for her is horrifying.

But the massive red male who looks at her with such hunger? He could destroy her.

Left to rot with the other Undesirables, Riker’s only focus is on escape. He has no intention of fighting for anyone’s entertainment. Until he sees the soft, beautiful female being offered to the victor.

A female is the last thing he needs, especially one who arouses his mating instincts, but neither can he resist her. Can he protect her from the vicious guards, the evil warden - and from himself?
Thoughts on Alien Most Wanted: Caged Beast: I originally read the shorter version of this in an anthology and I must admit I liiiiike the extended version. Amanda and Riker get a little more play time and there's some good setup for the future. Because Riker has brothers, my friends. BROTHERS!

Anywho. Amanda and Riker. She's the human woman sold to an alien prison warden (as a prize for his fighters, no less). He's the alien who's determined to protect her. By fighting and winning and taking her back to his room. AS ONE DOES.

But really...Riker has the urge to protect the brave, fragile seeming human and it takes a while for him to admit that she's more than just a convenient female. She's his special hunny-bunny and he's going to do what he needs to do to keep her safe.

Which means breaking out of a super-max alien prison on a dangerous planet. And figuring out how to survive on said dangerous planet while waiting for pickup off-world.

Amanda goes with the flow (because what else can you do when you're abducted by aliens and sold as a fight-prize, amirite?!?!) and Riker takes his sweet time admitting how much Amanda means to him. But he eventually does and THINGS HAPPEN. *thumbs up*
