July 2021 Featured Author: Anna Hackett

Jul. 02, 2021

One of my favorite Sci-Fi Romance authors is Anna Hackett. While I have read most all of her books my favorite series of hers are the Galactic Gladiators and Hell Squad series. They are both just so wonderful. They are books that I have in both audio and ebook format. Although I want to get myself the paperbacks as well, just in case anyone I know is looking for gift ideas for me. My birthday and Christmas are both coming up this year.

To give you a little background on each of the series I enjoy the most:

Hell Squad

In the aftermath of a deadly alien invasion, a band of survivors fights on… Join Marcus Steele and the toughest commando team fighting for humanity’s survival—Hell Squad. Battle-hardened soldiers, men and women who never give up. Heroes will rise…when they have someone to live for.

Galactic Gladiators

Fighting for love, honor, and freedom on the galaxy’s lawless outer rim… Join gladiator Raiden Tiago and the toughest gladiators of the House of Galen as they fight to protect the fierce women they love on the blood-soaked sands of the Kor Magna Arena.

3 Books From Anna Hackett

Fighting for love, honor, and freedom on the galaxy’s lawless outer rim…

When Earth space marine Harper Adams finds herself abducted by alien slavers off a space station, her life turns into a battle for survival. Dumped into an arena on a desert planet on the outer rim, she finds herself face to face with a big, tattooed alien gladiator…the champion of the Kor Magna Arena.

A former prince abandoned to the arena as a teen, Raiden Tiago has long ago earned his freedom. Now he rules the arena, but he doesn’t fight for the glory, but instead for his own dark purpose–revenge against the Thraxian aliens who destroyed his planet. Then his existence is rocked by one small, fierce female fighter from an unknown planet called Earth.

Harper is determined to find a way home, but when she spots her best friend in the arena–a slave of the evil Thraxian aliens–she’ll do anything to save her friend…even join forces with the tough alpha male who sets her body on fire. But as Harper and Raiden step foot onto the blood-soaked sands of the arena, Harper worries that Raiden has his own dangerous agenda…


In the aftermath of a deadly alien invasion, a band of survivors fights on…

In a world gone to hell, Elle Milton—once the darling of the Sydney social scene—has carved a role for herself as the communications officer for the toughest commando team fighting for humanity’s survival—Hell Squad. It’s her chance to make a difference and make up for horrible past mistakes…despite the fact that its battle-hardened commander never wanted her on his team.

When Hell Squad is tasked with destroying a strategic alien facility, Elle knows they need her skills in the field. But first she must go head to head with Marcus Steele and convince him she won’t be a liability.

Marcus Steele is a warrior through and through. He fights to protect the innocent and give the human race a chance to survive. And that includes the beautiful, gutsy Elle who twists him up inside with a single look. The last thing he wants is to take her into a warzone, but soon they are thrown together battling both the alien invaders and their overwhelming attraction. And Marcus will learn just how much he’ll sacrifice to keep her safe.


The only man who can keep her safe is her boss’ gorgeous brother.

Museum curator Haven McKinney has sworn off men. All of them. Totally. She’s recently escaped a bad ex and started a new life for herself in San Francisco. She loves her job at the Hutton Museum, likes her new boss, and has made best friends with his feisty sister. Haven’s also desperately trying not to notice their brother: hotshot investigator Rhys Norcross. And she’s really trying not to notice his muscular body, sexy tattoos, and charming smile.

Nope, Rhys is off limits. But then Haven finds herself in the middle of a deadly situation…

Investigator Rhys Norcross is good at finding his targets. After leaving an elite Ghost Ops military team, the former Delta Force soldier thrives on his job at his brother’s security firm, Norcross Security. He’s had his eye on smart, sexy Haven for a while, but the pretty curator with her eyes full of secrets is proving far harder to chase down than he anticipated.

Luckily, Rhys never, ever gives up.

When thieves target the museum and steal a multi-million-dollar painting in a daring theft, Haven finds herself in trouble, and dangers from her past rising. Rhys vows to do whatever it takes to keep her safe, and Haven finds herself risking the one thing she was trying so hard to protect—her heart.


Those three above are the first books in three series. I enjoyed all of them and they are currently available on Kindle Unlimited. I will be doing reviews of some of my favorite book of Anna Hackett’s throughout the month. Stay tuned for all those as well. Now, be sure that you enter the giveaway below.

And when I discover cracks in his perfect public image, I decide to get close enough to expose him.
Very close.
There's only one problem.
The man I'm getting to know isn't the boy I remember. He's smarter. Lonelier. More complicated than he has any right to be.

Are you ready for Worth the Fight? A retired assassin turned underground fighter puts it all on the line when an innocent woman is offered as the prize in a deadly fight.

Retired assassin hero

Underground fighter

Age gap

Protector hero

Found family

She needs me to fight for her.

Cole

I'm no hero. I'm a former mercenary and retired assassin. I'm rough, I live in the darkness, and keep the demons at bay by fighting in the underground Las Vegas fight rings.

Then I see her.

She's offered up as a prize. She's young, pretty, and far too innocent.

She's everything I'm not.

I'll fight for her, then I'll set her free.

And I'll keep my hands to myself...no matter how much I want to touch her.

Lili

I shouldn't have been surprised when my deadbeat dad sells me to a ruthless businessman to pay his debt. Now, I'm the prize for a deadly illegal fight and I'm terrified.

Until I hear the fighter known as the Wolf will fight.

I know Cole Black is quiet, intense, and dangerous, but something tells me I can trust the scarred fighter.

But when he gets me free of the ring, that's when my real troubles begin.

That businessman...he won't let me go.

Now, I'm being hunted and the only person who can keep me safe is Cole.

But I soon learn he has his own secrets, his own burning need for revenge, and I might end up caught in the crossfire.

Sometimes the people carrying the deepest scars ar Sometimes the people carrying the deepest scars are the ones who deserve the happiest endings. 💕

𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐥 is so much more than a romance. It's a story about healing, second chances, found family, and learning to see yourself through someone else's eyes.

And trust me—Lavender and Aunt Pip will absolutely steal your heart (and probably make you laugh out loud). ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐📚

𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐛:
I should’ve worn underwear that day. 

I’d have far less hate mail in my inbox. I’d also still have a job. 
 
But I didn’t wear underwear. And I had a wardrobe malfunction on a livestream. 
 
So now I’m the proud owner of the internet’s most famous… you know. 
 
The good news? I’ve been invited to hide from my sudden infamy at a closed winery with other women who’ve suffered their own five minutes of shame. 
 
The bad news? The winery has a live-in handyman. 
 
A competent, compassionate, patient, sexy, single dad handyman. 
 
Whom I met when I punched him in the face. 
 
Accidentally, of course. But I still get why he’s happy keeping his distance from me. 
 
But when we find out the winery that’s saving my life is in danger of foreclosure, he and I become accidental partners. 
 
No big deal, working with a guy that I’m falling harder for each day. 
 
I’m already the internet’s favorite punching bag. Why not add an unrequited crush to my life? 
 
But what if it’s not unrequited after all? 
 
From USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author Pippa Grant comes a funny, heartwarming, swoony romance perfect for readers who love protective book boyfriends, found sisterhoods, slow burns, epically awkward meet-cutes, and love conquering all. 
 
Content note: This book contains toxic family and references to bullying, suicide, abuse, and the off-page cancer death of the hero’s first wife several years before the story begins.

It all starts when the power goes out, leaving me trapped in a dark elevator with a stranger.
Closed spaces don't work for me. Panic takes over.
The sexy stranger comes to my rescue. His deep voice, yummy British accent, warm shoulder to lean on, and flask of expensive whiskey is just what I need.
Embarrassment aside, what happened shouldn't matter. I'll never see him again. That's good because I'm no longer the adventurous risk-taker I was in college. Now, I'm a rule-following professional—at least that's what I tell myself.

𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭
Her wavy, auburn hair, sparkling emerald eyes, and perfect curves mesmerize me.
When she panics, my instinct is to protect her. That is until she snuggles against me and sparks fly, making me want much, much more.
I regret not getting her mobile number. It shouldn't bother me. I'm not looking for a relationship. And she doesn't seem like the type for a fling.
To my surprise, she turns up unexpectedly. I'm relieved and thrilled. But she pushes me away.
What's up with that?

Her fortune wasn't supposed to be her fate.

Emelia
Drunkenly folding my way into a future with the hottest goalie in the league wasn't how I intended to spend Saturday night, but here we are.

Clearly, my besties should not be in charge of Girl's Night activities.

One cootie catcher later, and Royce Elliot is determined to make this wild prediction a reality.

I'm absolutely not interested. Until I am.

He's supposed to be my client, not the man I can't resist.

But with every touch and every kiss, this feels less like a game…
and more like forever.

Royce
I know hockey, not how to win over a stubborn, fiercely independent publicist.

But the second I meet Emelia Jónsson, I stop caring about shutouts.
I care about her.

She says her fortune teller doesn't mean anything—that it's just a childish game.
I say fate handed me an opening, and I'm not going to miss my shot.

I didn't expect her to ignite the way she does for me.
And I never imagined I’d fall this hard, this fast.

She swears this can't happen.
She's wrong.

I'm not backing down until she admits the truth.
This was never just a game.
It was always destiny.

Riley broke down outside the Redline Kings' garage and immediately put Gauge in his place. I loved her from that moment on.

Gauge knew she was carrying secrets, but he never pushed harder than she could handle. Once he decided she belonged with him, that was it.

The garage crew, the returning characters, the action, and the romance reminded me why this is one of my favorite MC series.
