Publisher's Summary

Abducted by alien slavers and taken to a lawless desert world, the last thing starship pilot Mia expects is to find herself in the protective, brawny arms of a wild, blue-skinned alien.

Rescued by gladiators on the alien world of Carthago, Mia is working to find other abducted humans who are still lost. But someone else also needs her help - the untamed alien who's saved her twice. Rescued from vicious fight rings he's fought in since he was a child, Vek is prone to losing control in aggressive fits of rage...and Mia discovers that she is the only who can calm him. As she finds herself drawn to the man beneath the beast, she knows that with his enhanced senses, Vek can help her find her friends.

For years, all Vek'ker has known is death, darkness, and killing. Despite his newfound freedom, he is struggling to control his rages and withdrawal from the drugs his captors used on him. Only one scent soothes him, one voice calms him, and one woman is his light in the dark. Vek will do anything to protect Mia and make her happy...including vowing to find her friends.

With the gladiators from the House of Galen, Vek, and Mia follow mysterious clues into a dangerous part of the desert on the trail of the missing humans. They are drawn closer together but as they enter the deadly Illusion Mountains, they have no idea of the dangers lying in wait for them, or how far they will both be pushed to their limits in order to survive.

***Heart Wrenching***

I love this series but Beast broke me and SWALLOW me whole. It strike deep in my heart, I cried and cried for Beast his lost innocence, his life as a slaved and his lost family. An action packed and a thrilling and exciting that took my breath away. Mia she is perfect for Beast she is his Beauty that soothe him. Vivienne Leheny is brilliant as always thank you.

i think it's my fav so far

Harper and Rayden where my favourites but at last Ms Hackett you've done it. the depth of a tortured soul.....wasn't quite there with Blaine or with Kace and his stoic ancestry but with Vek you wrote him coming out of his tortured world gradually but wonderfully.
loved the new adventure and Neve.....intriguing. gotta love alpha excitement...
narrator Vivienne...awesome as usual.
What a fantastic sci-fi series, fast, action packed, great characters and hot hot hot!!!

Excellent

Beast the seventh Galactic Gladiators is about Mia and Vek'ker. Mia was abducted from the Earth space station along with the rest of the those now stuck on Carthago. Vek was taken from his homeworld as a child has been in the lawlessness of the underground fighting rings ever since, hence the name Beast because that's he is ever seen as and he thinks he will ever be. That's until he sees Mia on the sands of the underground fighting ring and he instantly wants to protect her. Now he is having sensations and feelings he doesn't understand and has never felt before. Mia wants Vek with every fibre of her being and will do whatever it takes to protect him as well. This is a love story to the core although it is surrounded by violence and those who are cruel and viscious and like to own and control others through whatever means nececssary but, through it all the love these two share grows into something that is beautiful giving a story full of action, humour and steamy romance.
