Title: Hero
Author: Anna Hackett
Series: Galactic Gladiator #3
Pages: 184

Raised on a military world to be a soldier, Kace Tameron is a disciplined and trained warrior. He has a two year contract with Kor Magna to train and hone his skills in the ring. He lives to protect his planet and fight, until he meets the beautiful engineer Rory Fraser.
Rory was rescued by House of Galen at the end of the previous book, Warrior. She is a tough, spunky, and smart woman. She has been fixing things since she was a child and can fight her own battles. I really enjoyed this smart and dangerous woman. I loved how determined she was to break through Kace’s rigid exterior and find the real man underneath.
Kace has basically been brainwashed since he was born to be a supersoldier. He knows nothing about love or relationships. He repeatedly tries to push Rory away but that feisty redhead refuses to let him. Their relationship was a lot of fun, especially since they were total opposites. I just love seeing these big brawny men fall for their human women.
If you are looking for an action packed, romantic, and alien filled read, pick up this series. Hackett does such an amazing job at mixing action and romance I will always recommend her series to people.
