In the aftermath of a deadly alien invasion, a spy and a soldier find themselves locked in an alien cage and told…mate or die.A covert mission gone horribly wrong. Cool, composed spy, Devlin Gray is used to bad situations, but locked in the bowels of an alien facility with tough, sexy soldier Taylor and told to mate is bad. Very bad. During his career, he’s had to lie and kill, he’s been … kill, he’s been betrayed, and he knows he works best on his own. Now he is forced to depend on Taylor, and together they have to find a way to escape before it’s too late…
Taylor Cates has already been to hell once before. She lives to fight for others, just like her mother once fought for her, and Taylor vows to do whatever it takes to escape the aliens. As she works with the sexy, suave Devlin, she starts to see glimpses of the man beneath the cool exterior. An exterior she soon finds she wants to melt.
In the worst of circumstances, a passion is born. But on the run for their lives, Devlin and Taylor soon discover far worse things in the alien facility: human prisoners and a weapon that could be the very downfall of the human race. A weapon that will threaten their friends, their home, and everything they hold dear.
Note to readers: This sci fi romance contains a lot of action (think escapes from alien prisons and daring secret missions), tough warriors (the battle-hardened soldiers of Hell Squad, and Squads Nine and Three) and a steamy romance (lots of sexy times between a cool, suave spy and a tough female soldier). 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 (coming soon)
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.

Former M16 agent, Devlin Gray and Squad 9 soldier Taylor Cates are captured by the aliens. They are locked in the bowls of an alien factory and are monitored by the aliens who want them to mate. Together they work to escape the aliens and alert the Enclave of a new alien weapon that controls human minds.
I have liked the mysterious Devlin since he was introduced and I like him even more now that I know his history. He lost his family, was betrayed as an agent, and no longer knows how to trust anyone. Letting Taylor in takes a lot of effort and time but she doesn’t let him hide. Taylor is a kickass heroine that loves the finer things in life. Her past has taught her to appreciate the nice things in life and to fight to survive. I really loved both of these characters and I think they make an amazing, and deadly, couple.
“I love you, too. And I’m thinking it’s only going to get stronger with every day that passes.” – Devlin
This book started with a bang and didn’t stop until the end. I loved every minute of it. The aliens are getting smarter and wiser with each book and seeing the squads fight for the future is very emotional. I cannot wait to see how the survivors combat the mind control orbs in the future.
“No matter what happened or what the aliens threw at them, they’d never give up. That was what the fight against the aliens was all about. Hope. Not to regain what they’d lost, but to build something new and better.”
Also the ending of this book with the Christmas party was perfect and beautiful. I love the scene with Marcus and Elle, who are my favorite couple. It was also great to see the other couples.
Reader Warning:
Heroine kidnapped and abused as a child (referenced only).
Great addition to the series. Devlin and Taylor are perfect for each other. Lots of danger, destroying the enemy, and smexy-times.
Read in KU.
Sci-fi action romance at it’s best.
I love all of these books but I really love it when it is about one of the female soldiers. They are all so baddass and don’t need to have an alpha male because they’re very alpha female in their own right.
Dev is a super spy and collects info on the aliens. To say his job is dangerous is putting it lightly. Taylor is a soldier from one of the squads so she is out there fighting the aliens everyday. Together they are perfect and clearly made for each other.
We pick up where the last book ended. Devlin and Taylor had been captured and were being forced to “mate” by the Gizzida! The action is paced well and there are some edge of the seat, bite your nails moments. There are twists and turns galore and just as we think we’ve found THE weapon , we realise that it is just A weapon! The real bad boy is still out there somewhere.
I loved unravelling the history behind Taylor and Dev and how those experiences carried over into their personalities. I love that the fate of humanity is not saved in one book but stretches within the series and new and more dangerous plans come to light.
I love finding the breadcrumbs leading to the next books in the series. I am hoping Theron and Hemi and co are ready for a roller coaster ride!!
