The battle of survival against the invading aliens heats up…but Hell Squad never quits.
General Adam Holmes’ life is dedicated to keeping his small band of survivors alive. On the run, with only Hell Squad and the other soldiers for protection, they are making their last dangerous drive to the secret stronghold of the Enclave. But there are a lot of aliens between them and their destination, … aliens between them and their destination, and the survivors are tired, worn, and at the end of their limits. Adam feels the pressure dragging him down, but as their leader, he can’t be their friend and he can’t dump his burden on anyone else.
Long before the alien invasion, Liberty Lawler survived her own personal hell. Since then, she’s vowed to enjoy everything life has to offer and she’s managed to do that, even in the middle of an apocalypse. She does what she can to help the survivors in her convoy, but one man holds himself apart, working tirelessly for them all. Liberty can see Adam is at his breaking point and she vows to tear through his rigid control and save him from himself.
But the aliens are throwing everything they have at the humans, trying to stop them from reaching the Enclave. Adam will find his resolve tested and the pressure higher than ever. But it will be one beautiful woman–one who won’t take no for an answer and who worms under his skin–who can save them all and give him the strength to go on.
Note to readers: This sci fi romance contains a lot of action (think invading aliens, vicious creatures and dangerous missions), tough warriors (the sexy, battle-hardened soldiers of Hell Squad) and a steamy romance (lots of sexy times between a fearless general and a determined, headstrong blonde). 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
– Holmes
– Niko (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.

General Adam Holmes has dedicated his life to keeping the survivors alive. While on the run to Enclave, everyone is tired, worn, and at the end of their limits, especially him. The pressure of leading is eating away at him and he can’t lean on anyone for help. Liberty Lawler can see that Adam is at his breaking point and she forces him to take a break. She vows to spend each day finding joy in life and she knows it’s time to help Adam find his own reason to go on.
This book was nonstop action, emotion, and romance as the survivors make their way to the Enclave and avoid the aliens. Holmes has been a solid, dependable, and strong figure throughout the series. In the last book we saw that the burden of leadership was resting heavy on his shoulders and it just continues to get worse. He is burdened by the guilt of every person he loses or can’t save. Holmes was a surprisingly sweet man under that starch uniform and he can really kickass when he needs too.
“I need you, Liberty. You’re my light. Your smile, your voice, just watching you sleep. You give me more than a reason to keep fighting, you give me a reason to keep breathing.”
Liberty is a strong independent woman who spends each day living life to the fullest. She is the perfect partner for Holmes because she shows him how to live life to the fullest, even while taking care of everyone. I also think she makes a great partner because she sees the other side of leadership by reminding people to find happiness during the bad times and to keep moral up. She listens and makes a difference, not only to Holmes, but to everyone in the Blue Mountain Base.
Also I just loved how crazy Tane and Hemi were in this one. I cannot wait to get to their books because I know they will be good.

Heroine abused in the past (referenced only)
Interesting and fast-paced eighth book in the Hell Squad series. This book features the leader of their group, General Adam Holmes, and a civilian, Liberty. The General tries to be there for his people, making the tough decisions. Liberty wants to be there for him. Will he let her? It’s been a long, hard road but they’ve finally reached the Enclave. Now it’s time to regroup and figure out a way to destroy the alien invaders.
Love this series so hard. Highly recommend.
Read in KU.
I love most of the books in this series but seeing the leader come out of his shell and all himself to fall for a woman is rewarding. You will love the stoic Holmes and his “life of the party” woman.
I’m so happy Adam got his happily ever after. That poor General deserved some happiness. He leads his people putting them and everything else before himself. He carries the weight of any grief, failure, death, or any other hard choice on his shoulders and needed someone to help him carry the load. Liberty was the perfect person for that. She is always helping others and putting them first, trying to make them feel better and be happy even if they are living in hell. They both balanced out each other perfectly. She helped him see it was ok to be happy and do something for himself every now and then. He helped her see that love in an apocalypse is worth the risk. It was beautiful and sexy as hell.
General Adam Holmes story is finally told!!!! This older man hottie has been simmering in the background and I’m so glad we finally get to see what he’s been hiding under that In-Charge-demeanour!!! He’s been drowning in the responsibility of Blue Mountain Base and keep his ragtag bunch of soldiers, civilians and spies alive. But with the base now compromised they are off to the enclave for safety.
Liberty Lawler us a survivor. she survived abuse at the hands of the man who should have loved her. She survived the alien invasion which killed off the majority of the worlds population. She should be able to survive Adam Holmes – right???? But the good time girl has an inner core of steel and she may be jest what the general needs to divest himself of some of the stress he is under.
This latest instalment of Hell Squad was just awesomeness at its best. Action, adventure, passion, illicit encounters and loss of more survivors all make for a high octane read!!! Characters which tug at your heart and your libido! Scenes which make your skin crawl and your heart race! This series just gets better and I’m loving the little glimpse we get of the next couple in the series – they are gonna be an explosive combination!
