In the middle of an alien invasion, will the bad boy berserker catch the geeky tech genius?Computer genius Marin Mitchell is doing her part to help humanity survive the raptor invasion, working tirelessly to decrypt alien data. She spends her days working and drooling over a certain tattooed, biker berserker from Squad Three. But Marin knows the rules: geeks do not snag sexy bad boys. She spends … bad boys. She spends her nights playing her favorite computer game where she is a kick-butt badass, and a match for her mysterious online fight partner, SuperSoldier3.
A member of the Squad Three berserkers, Ash Connors knows that whenever he reaches for something good, life slaps him back down. He gave up on his dreams a long time ago, and instead, focused on running his motorcycle club with his best friend. But after the alien invasion, he does what he does best, fight and take down the aliens. When cute, smart, and sweet Marin catches his eye, he tries to steer clear, but can’t seem to stay away…online or in real life.
When Marin discovers information about a central alien data hub, her skills are needed to hack into the system. That means a deadly mission deep underground, right into the heart of alien territory. That throws her right into Ash’s tattooed arms. As the sexy berserker fights to keep her safe, he also vows to show Marin that while she might follow the rules, he likes to break them.
Note to readers: This sci fi romance contains a lot of action (dangerous missions and deadly aliens), tough warriors (the badass berserkers of Squad Three) and a steamy romance (lots of sexy times between a sexy former biker and a smart, geeky gamer). So if you like it fast, and gritty, and sexy, this is for you!
Includes a preview of Gladiator, first book in Galactic Gladiators

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
– Holmes
– Niko
– Finn
– Devlin
– Theron
– Hemi
– Ash
– Levi (coming soon)

Another Berserker falls in love! I loved this one. Who knew Ash had a geeky side?
Ash and Marin were amazing characters. Ash is a protective badass who has a sweet side. I love how he slowly works up to a relationship with Marin by playing a video game with her. It was quite adorable. Marin is a tech geek who is determined to decrypt the alien cubes. She pushes Ash away at the beginning because she believes he can’t be attracted to a geek. He kept pushing until she gave them a chance.
“She might not be PrincessBadass with a carbine, but she sure as hell was PrincessBadass with a comp.”
Another thing that I loved about this book was that Marin was terrified about going out in the field but she still does it. I love that she didn’t become this badass soldier but just relied on the Berserkers to get her through. I just loved the romance between these two. It was emotional, powerful, and sweet. It was just everything I love in a relationship.
“God, I’m crazy in love with her. Every bit of her. From the wild curls and sharp mind, to her fucking pretty toes. I love every inch of her.”
Things are really heating up against the aliens and they are getting sneakier. I really can’t wait to see what they will do next. Also the ending of this book was so emotional.
What a fab end to the series. Brilliant characters and explosive action. Hell Squad are the best.
One of my favourite titles from Ms Hackett’s fantastic series.
I think these books are getting shorter and shorter which makes me sad because I want MORE! Another great addition to a already great series. Ash was wonderful and sexy and badass and everything awesome. Marian really fit him and brought out a side oh him no one knew he even had.
I’ve got one more book and I’m officially caught up on the whole series! I’ve read all 14 books in a week because I couldn’t put them down!
Ash Connors is more than a tattooed badboy biker! He harbours a healthy lust for the tech geek dealing with his team, the lovely Marin. Marin, like Elle, is a child of wealthy parents but that didn’t make life any easier for her. More at home in a lab than in a society setting and she rocks as “PrincessBadass” her alter ego on the comp game the conclave use to pass time. Little does she know that her partner in the game is the one and only Ash!
Working on cubes that the beserkers had found, Marin determines that they may be able to crack the Gizzida firewall, but she is going to have to get into the field to do it. That alone is just about enough to make Ash lose control! But what will he do when an incursion into conclave territory leaves Marin in danger of getting up close and personal to the enemy!
Bad boy, smart mouth, sensitive soul and relentless tease, Ash is just superb. I loves learning all his secrets and Marin has a kickbutt side, it’s just well hidden under all her geek! We get to catch up with Hell Squad and the Beserkers and poor Manu is going to have his hands full!
ASH is #14 in the Hell Squad series and moves the saga along at a fast pace with lots of action, both in battle and in the bedroom. I love the relationship between Ash and Marin. As with other characters in this series, Ash is a tough guy who could be easily pigeon-holed as just a biker bad boy but is a character with hidden depths. Marin, our leading lady, is a bit more awkward than previous heroines. She is a genius who tends to get too caught up in her work and is a little out of her comfort zone when outside her tech group. But the as a couple, they work. I think that this is one of my favorites in the series to date and, as with all of Ms. Hackett’s series, it places a couple more pieces of the puzzle on the table.
Love this series and if you haven’t started, book 1 Marcus is free on Amazon. (What are you waiting for?)
