Warrior is the second book in the "Galactic Gladiators" series. This is where we get Thorin and Regan's story. This pairing was hinted at the end of the first book. So I was super thrilled to get to their book and I was so curious to see what Anna Hackett would do with this one and if we would see what happened with the other women being held prisoner as well. I immediately got sucked into this book and just couldn't put it down. I absolutely loved everything about this one. What I really love about Anna Hackett, is her books aren't super long but they feel full length novels even though they are only around 200 pages. Not saying it in the way that they drag, but that they deliver stories that have such depth and full delivery as you would expect from a 400 page novel.

What we get in Warrior is opposites attract and unrequited love or resisting love I guess haha So the gist of the story is that Regan is a scientist and doctor who was kidnapped and then sold and she was then rescued and brought into the fold of the Galen Gladiator troupe. There is one that she has a connectioin with, Thorin. But Thorin is much more than he claims to be and believes he is too rough and brutal for a soft gentle woman like Regan. But Regan is determined to win this stubborn gladiator for her own. I just love a pining heroine who is willing to fight for her man.

Warrior was such a brilliant read and honestly I just couldn't seem to get enough of this one here. I was so easily caught up into this one and their romance was so emotional at times and deeply resonated with this reader. Their story is so easy to fall in love with. At first Regan is recovering from being abused and kidnapped, but as she embraces her role with the team and builds her science lab and is able to help the crew, she also finds her own strength again and embrace her path toward Thorin and finding her cousin. And the true identity of Thorin is revealed, Regan and Thorin find a deep resonating love to fight for....

Overall I found Warrior to be a thrilled, edgy, packed with adventure filled romance that will tantalize and thrill you!
