Synopsis (Goodreads):
Honestly, Madeline needs A LOT of convincing to let down her walls. She blames herself for not being able to protect the people under her on the space station and she's still battling the demons that came part and parcel with her time spent in captivity. She's a bit of a mess, but she's finding her way again. Knowing Blaine is trapped in the underground fight rings she was rescued from gives her something to focus on. Lore gives her something to focus on. The friendship blossoming between her and the other stranded earth women gives her another.
Finding out there are more Humans being held captive only spurs her desire to get them all out.
Have I mentioned how much I like Lore? The guy comes from a matriarchal culture and he's not afraid of all the messy emotions that sometimes send other men into hiding. He's upfront and honest and I like that in an alien gladiator.
Frankly, while these gladiators are undefeated in the arena, they fall hard and fast once they meet their special someone. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THAT?!?!

Synopsis (Goodreads):
Fighting for love, honor, and freedom on the galaxy’s lawless outer rim…Thoughts on Protector: Flashy, illusionist Lore is up this time and the human lady he's interested in is the (seemingly) uptight commander of the space station. Seemingly, because Madeline does figure out how to unwind. Eventually. You know, with Lore's attentive help and all that.
Cool and driven Madeline Cochran made a successful career for herself as civilian commander of a space station orbiting Jupiter…until the day it was attacked and she was abducted by alien slavers.
Her organized existence shattered, Madeline suffered during her captivity, but since her rescue by the tough gladiators of the House of Galen, she’s struggling to assimilate to her new life. As she navigates the desert world of Carthago and the gladiator city of Kor Magna, she desperately misses her teenage son back on Earth and throws herself into finding another human, space marine Blaine, still kept captive by the slavers. She also finds herself working harder than ever to avoid a certain charming showman gladiator who is far too attractive and far too tempting.
Gladiator Lore Uma-Xilene is a protector at heart and a sucker for a damsel in distress…although he’s well aware that the hard-shelled and sad-eyed Madeline wouldn’t appreciate the title. He knows what it feels like to be ripped from the family you love and have your life destroyed, and he wants to help Madeline heal. As the two of them go undercover into the dangerous world of underground gambling, Lore knows he’ll need all his patience, passion, and a whole lot of stubbornness to not only keep Madeline safe but to melt the icy shell around her heart.
Note to readers: This sci fi romance contains a lot of action (think wild gladiatorial fights and daring rescues), tough gladiators (the warriors of the House of Galen) and a steamy romance (between a cool, driven woman and a charming showman gladiator). So if you like it fast, and gritty, and sexy, this is for you!
