Xacier was once king of the proud Kell Empire, but after his cousin’s betrayal he is enslaved in the fighting arena. The only way to survive? Kill everyone and be the champion. With his strength and skill, only a few battles now stand between Xacier and his freedom, and he will stop at nothing to get out and get his revenge. But when a human woman is thrown into the arena, Xacier will find … himself fighting to defend her, at the risk of losing his freedom – and his life.
Samantha is crossing the galaxy to visit her ailing mother, when she is sold to the Frirens and tossed into the middle of an arena battle. Completely out of her element, her only hope of making it out of here alive lies with the strong and ruthless alien who claims her as his prize. Winning their freedom won’t be easy, though, and even if they do make it out together, Samantha isn’t sure she’ll be able to part ways with this warrior who captured her body and her heart.
Happily ever after guaranteed! Can be read as part of the series or as a standalone romance.

Absolutely Awesome Read, well written, great characters, Awesome story line, easy read to hold you on their journey, this genre might not be for everyone but its a really wonderful story cannot wait for more from this Author.
Edited to update the author did a rewrite on some parts.
Loved the general story line, Samatha needs to go see her mother and Xacier needs to get his throne “company” back. When he takes Samantha to get passage to go to her mother, she sees the captain that tried to force her to have sex and then sold her when she refused. Loved that Xacier had a personal in depth arena champion style “discussion” with said captain – one for the good guys 🙂
Over all Xacier was a much better character and better developed, I liked him better but after the rewrite Samantha’s character was not to bad and I can now say I enjoyed the book at the end.

This is the 1st book from Lily Thomas that I have read but it certainly won’t be the last. I can’t wait to read more in this series. Ms. Thomas knows who to write a story line that grabs you at the beginning and doesn’t let you go till the end. Her characters are so delightfully flawed that you can’t help cheering for their happily ever after. It’s so pleasant to enjoy a good book that leaves you feeling so good with the craziness of this world sometimes. Xacier and Samantha’s story is one of survival and of somehow finding your soul mate while you are going through all the trials of your life. This story has everything that you could want in a book; comedy, action, drama, conflict and of course hot romance. You really don’t want to miss this one!

This very well-written book 1 in the Series of Galactic Courtship and the series builds great worlds and begins the series of stories: Galactic Courtship Series.

The first book in the Galactic Courtship series a story that held my interest until the end. This is human Samantha and Xacier’s story, what a clueless woman! This is a new Author to me. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Samantha seemed to be a dingbat. After almost getting raped she offer all her money to the captors to just let her go. She should have helped Xacier who is overthrown by his greedy cousin and get thrown into the arena. Now he has a human to protect and try to keep winning his fight so that he can gain his freedom. You’d think that somehow Samantha would be able to help in someway to earn her freedom. Don’t even know if Samantha goes back to krel to be it’s new queen. I might read the next book just to see if it gets better. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
