The battle of survival against the invading aliens heats up…but Hell Squad never quits.
Tech genius Noah Kim works day and night to keep the survivors at Blue Mountain Base with lights, power and hot water. He’s also working on a top secret project to help keep them safe. He’s tired, stressed and under pressure–and one woman adds to it all. An annoying, infuriating redhead he calls Captain … infuriating redhead he calls Captain Dragon.
Captain Laura Bladon lost everything she cared for in the alien invasion: her loving family, her Navy SEAL fiancé and her military career. Since then, she’s been numb, her feelings encased in ice, and she’s dedicated herself to her job as chief interrogator and running the base’s prison. But one person can get under her skin in an instant–arrogant, brilliant Noah. He’s the one thing that makes her feel–and that makes her very afraid.
But as Laura helps Noah on his project, the two are drawn irresistibly together. As they head into the desert with Hell Squad on a mission to a hidden alien outpost, sparks fly and a passionate desire is uncovered. Both are holding onto past hurts, scared to take the risk of loving again…but when the unthinkable happens, it changes everything…and Laura and Noah must find the power to save themselves, their friends and their love.
Note to readers: This sci fi romance contains a lot of action (think invading aliens and dangerous missions), tough warriors (the sexy, battle-hardened soldiers of Hell Squad) and a steamy romance (lots of sexy times between a tech genius and a feisty, redheaded interrogator). So if you like it fast, and gritty, and sexy, this is for you!
Includes a preview of Among Galactic Ruins, first book in the Phoenix Adventures.
Q & A with the Author
Q – How would you describe the Hell Squad series?
A – Tough, alpha soldiers battling invading aliens. Hell Squad is science fiction romance with a dose of post-apocalyptic grit and a serve of military romance. There is lots of action, adventure and romance. But even in the middle of a fight for survival, the series is focused on hope, friends, family and love. Hell Squad has been one of my bestselling series and I’m thrilled the Hell Squad gang have so many fans.
Q – Why did you want to write the series?
A – I love action, adventure and romance. And I love science fiction romance and all the endless possibilities. I also wanted to write something that was a little darker and grittier than my more adventure-filled series, the Phoenix Adventures. Then I had this image of a former society party girl wearing fatigues squaring off with a scarred, battle-hardened soldier and Hell Squad was born. I’d intended it to be a single story…but the Hell Squad soldiers had other ideas and literally came to life as I wrote the first book!
Q – What order should I read the books in?
A – All the Hell Squad books have stand-alone romances in them but the action arc of the invading aliens grows with each book. Many readers have entered the series with later books and they haven’t been lost, but, characters from the early stories do appear in later books and I really think it adds something to the reading experience to read them in order. Here’s the order I suggest:
– Marcus
– Cruz
– Gabe
– Reed
– Roth
– Noah
– Shaw
About Anna: I’m passionate about all things action romance. I love stories that combine the thrill of falling in love with the excitement of action, danger and adventure. I write about people overcoming unbeatable odds and achieving seemingly impossible goals. I like to believe it’s possible for all of us to do the same.
The Hell Squad Series:
– Science Fiction Romance
– Action Adventure Romance
– Post-apocalyptic Romance
– Alien Invasion Romance

Tech genius Noah Kim works nonstop to keep the Blue Mountain Base operational. He is also working on the secret evacuation plan that he hopes won’t be necessary. He is tired, stressed, and irritated and having Captain Laura Bladon constantly on his case makes everything worse.
Noah and Laura have been butting heads since they were introduced. It was nice to get a story featuring a couple that wasn’t a part of the team. Laura is a relatively new character so we didn’t know much about her. We learn that she lost not only her family, but her Navy SEAL fiance as well during the invasion. She spends her days focusing on her job and nothing else, except when dealing with Noah. He makes her feel things again which scares her because she doesn’t want to lose anyone else. Noah refuses to let her run from her feelings though and eventually breaks her walls down.
“We’ve all lost, Noah. But now, it’s about how we pick ourselves up and move forward. Wallowing in the past doesn’t help. The past will always be remembered, and the people we loved will always be special.” – Elle
Noah is a genus but also has a terrible temper and is very blunt. While he is pushing Laura to admit her feelings it makes him admit his own issues and fears from his past. Noah was surprisingly sweet once he stopped fighting with Laura and admitted his attraction. Their switch from hate to attraction was very abrupt though. One of the things that I really loved about these two was their commitment to their jobs. They both have very intense and consuming jobs but they each accepted that and supported each other.
“This was the man who’d brought her back to life, dug under her skin, and changed her completely.”
The last 20% of this book was intense! The confrontation at the base has happened and they have to start over. I cannot wait to jump into the next one and see how the survivors deal with all of these changes.
Another excellent book in the Hell Squad series. This one features tech geek Noah, and soldier/interrogator Laura. They’re both fighting their attraction to each other. But when their secret base is attacked, will they come to their senses in time?
Great series. I’m enjoying so much. I love Noah and Laura as a couple. The danger, the interesting storyline, and the smexy-times keep me enthralled and wanting more. Highly recommend.

Just wow! I’m always excited to see what’s coming next and I was not disappointed! This series continues to be so riveting that I can’t get enough!
The aliens are encroaching on the Blue Mountain Base and Noah is feeling the pressure to get the survivors to safety. If he could only get the technology he needs to play along! To get to the underground encampment, found by Roth in a previous adventure, he needs to be able to cloak the vehicles but so far…no success. Everything he does blasts the power source!
Laura is the chief interrogator on site. She questions/tortures any captured aliens for intel which the survivors can use. But she is dog tired of her technology failing her and her cells losing power. She lays the blame squarely at the feet of Noah, the frustrating, annoying, intensely attractive Noah. However, she lost everything in the invasion and she’s not ready to love and lose again. This pair bicker at an Olympic level!!!
With his team mates finding love Noah is felling isolated but why oh why does the feisty, finicky captain get his juices flowing? Will he ever find a way to mesh the cloaking device to the vehicles they need to flee the base when the aliens get too close?
Another fab instalment in the Aussie Sci Fi/Fantasy/romantic suspense series. I love the Australian setting and the characters, who are all bad*%& in their own ways but oh so vulnerable in others. Laura is a tough cookie with a well hidden gooey centre! Wonderful witty match which reminds me of David and Maddie from Moonlighting from the 80’s!! Can’t wait for more!
Oh, boy, I didn’t think it could get any better, but Noah: Scifi Alien Invasion Romance (Hell Squad Book 6) exceeded my expectations. What I love most is that Noah isn’t a physically warrior, more of a geek, but he is strong and determined and blows the stereo type geek out of the water! Ms. Hackett’s characters are well developed and sympathetic with a plot line that keeps you turning pages. A warning though, this book contains a major cliffhanger (a first in this series). You should read the series in order due to said cliffhanger and to enhance the experience.
Join Hell Squad, the devil needs his ass kicked!
