Silent Empire #3
Stolen by the Alien Gladiator
I thought I’d left the arena behind forever. But now I’m back, and it’s not just my life on the line.
Snatched from Earth by aliens. Taken to the stars, and sold at auction. Nothing prepared Emma for days like this. Only one of the aliens seems to have her interests at heart, but how can she trust him? Athazar may be the hottest man, human or alien, that she’s ever seen — but does that mean that he’s on her side?
Ex-gladiator Athazar didn’t intend to rescue anyone from the market. But that was before he saw Emma: a human female who sets his soul on fire. He can’t abandon her to her fate, even if that means joining her in chains.
Ending up on the sands of the arena together, Athazar is forced to fight to protect his new-found mate. But when enemies from his past return, will his skill and bravery be enough to save Emma? Or will the past he tried to leave behind doom both him and the woman he loves?
No cheating, no cliffhanger - Stolen by the Alien Gladiator is a steamy science fiction romance with a happy ever after!

I've got to give this author credit, she's got a great imagination. She did a good job building this world and the story was great.
Unfortunately, the romance was...well...almost nonexistent. That's not to say that there weren't parts that were good romance wise (steam wise) but the actual developing of a relationship...it wasn't there.
I really liked Athazar and Emma. I liked that she was the type of woman that while she needed help and someone to save her from an impossible situation, she also went about saving herself (even if it did blow up on her). She didn't sit passively by.
I loved that Athazar was a protective alpha. The thing I had an issue with was that while he was immediately protective of her (and he didn't know why, and that was awesome!), I didn't feel like there was any buildup of feelings. Nothing to even make him wonder if she was his mate until he said to himself, MATE. And I was left wondering if I accidentally flipped multiple pages or missed something. And Emma just went with it and was immediately into him. And while insta-love is fine, there was just nothing from either of them to make me feel their connection.
Overall, the story was really good. I just wish the romance had been there.

Emma drove the dark highway, holding back her tears as she drove away from her cheating boyfriend. All that she owned was packed in the car that had now started rattling and suddenly came to a stop as the engine failed! She supposed that lucky star she had just wished on wasn’t so lucky for her after all. And, of course, there was no cell phone service out here either. She looked up at the stars again, but one she thought was a shooting star was moving oddly – probably a plane, or with her current luck, maybe a UFO? As the object got closer, her car actually lifted up off the ground. When she finally looked around, she saw strange shapes in the shadows and passed out.
Athazar, a former slave now working with the Patrol to stop the slave raiders, tracked them to an icy comet. As soon as he could verify that was their base, he would call in a Patrol cruiser. His ship’s AI computer tried vainly to convince him to stay back, they were not equipped for battle. But it knew he wouldn’t listen. He was driven to get his revenge on the slave owners who ruined his life and primarily revenge against the cruel Princess Tlaxanna. In a bold move, when another ship suddenly appeared right in front of them from hyperspace, Athazar attached his ship to theirs in the brief moments before their sensors came back online. With Athazar’s ship attached to the hull, the other ship moved into the comet base.
Emma woke up in inky blackness with everything hurting. She was in a small 6-foot metal box. When she started to shout, someone else told her to be quiet or their captors would be alerted. She had to get free, so she kicked repeatedly at the hinged door at the end and amazingly forced it open. She climbed the cages to get out of sight of the two creatures that came looking for her. When they didn’t find her, they sent a drone which used something like a Taser on her. She was locked by chains to the others and marched out of the ship to be sold.
Athazar made his way to the auction area, looking to make contacts and locate the wealthy or Imperial patrons he was hoping to take his vengeance upon. As he watched, the human he had seen from behind earlier was led out. He was stunned with her beauty and fought his strange urge to cover her with his cloak to warm her. She would be sought after as a slave, many wanting her to suffer -- and she was aware of that as well as she observed their cold, predatory, and angry eyes staring at her -- planning to use her as their way of getting back at the cruel Empire who hurt them since this human was not an Imperial citizen and had no protection. When a spider-like alien tried to touch her inappropriately, her anger caused her to punch it in the throat. That action caused started a bidding war – if the spider thing bought her, it would torture her severely in retaliation. Before it struck her with a blistering hot whip, as was its right due to the insult, the huge red alien that had been staring at her grabbed the whip, explaining the verkesh could hurt her IF he won the bid without damaging the merchandise if another won.
Athazar had his AI calculate all his ready cash and missiles he could offer to win the auction, but the verkesh’s hatred of both of them made it offer an outrageous bid to win the human. Using a controller to cause her pain and force her compliance, it demanded she follow behind. Athazar stood no chance in a fight with being so outnumbered. Would he come up with a plan to save her? Would she be able to escape what was about to happen to her?
I thoroughly enjoyed the humor in this book, especially between Athazar and his ship’s AI. I was also impressed with Emma and the way she recognized her situation and dealt with it rather than just giving up all hope. The story line was solid and well-paced, the tension keeping the reader avidly reading on. Don’t miss this one – it was very well written and pulls the reader right into the action!

He'd🐺🍆🌋🔪 Die For Her💃💋💘
Alpha Alien🐺 Adult Abduction Sci-fi Romance💕
When Emma💃💋 is abducted from Earth by slavers, she never even imagined there were aliens👾, let alone all the different types on board the ship🚀 and at The clandestine slave auction point. She also never knew how much humans were reviled by most alien👽 species.
Athazar🐺🔪 is a former slave on a mission to go to the auction. His Ship, Shadow Hunter🚀, is state of the art and allows him to get close without being identified. He has a vendetta against the slave owners, particularly Princess Tlaxanna👸, because her men killed his family.
When Athazar🐺🔪 sees Emma💃💋, he knows she is his mate, and he bids all his money plus all the missiles on his ship🚀, but it's not enough, and Emma💃💋 is sold to a four eyed spiderlike🐜 alien.
Athazar🐺🔪 boards the commercial ship that Emma💃💋 is taken to, but even though he frees Emma💃💋 from the spider men, both of them are captured by a royal, Lady Olevena, the owner of the ship🚀, and her guards. She decides to sell them to a gladiator arena owner. Athazar🐺🔪 is a trained fighter and this is not new to him. At least he and Emma💃💋 are together.......
Athazar🐺🔪 vows they will be free again.
ARC Received from Bookfunnel
I also got the book with KU.
This is a wonderfully written sci-fi space opera and romance! The world🌍 building and descriptions are superb and I loved The story. Highly recommend for lovers of this genre.

Wow I love Leslie Chase’s stories and this one is no exception. Emma is driving along a dark highway when her car stops she looks up and see’s a star coming towards her too fast then her car lifts up in the air and she passes out, Emma wakes up in a box she has been abducted by aliens to be sold at a slave auction. Athazar used to be a slave but he does patrols looking for the slave traders to stop them, when he goes to a market where it’s well know that they sell slaves Athazar see’s a beautiful human woman and he has strange feelings towards her. When another alien tries to touch her Emma punches it which starts an all out bidding war. I loved this story and both of the characters especially Emma she fought all of the way and never gave up considering the situation she was in. A fantastic story a 5 plus ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read, I can’t wait to read more from this author.

When I started this book, I could have sworn that I'd read it before. It begins much the same way as most sci-fi alien romances. Woman is in an isolated place on Earth when a bright light lifts her into the sky and off into space. This story skips the usual medical exam and goes straight to incarceration. The remainder of the book goes its own way from that point, bringing slaves to fight for the crowd's pleasure in a coliseum. I feel that this story is one that's been written many times over. The few variations on a theme were not enough to save the book from cheesy dialogue like "If you care for me, please -- live for me. Find joy again." There were no surprises here but there was a HEA with no cliffhanger so I gave it 3 stars.

I enjoyed Emma’s and Athazar story about fighting for what right and finding love along the way. Athazar is part of the Anti-slavery patrol because that was his life for a very long time at the hands of the cruel Princess Tlaxanna so now he saves others and on a fact finding mission he finds Emma and wants to help but for his troubles they end up as slaves at the sands of the arena and must fight to survive can Athazar’s skills as an ex-gladiator save his mate and himself from certain death. Read this enjoyable book you won’t be disappointed. I voluntarily read an arc copy of this book for an honest review.

This human/alien romance is full of lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested and needing to continue reading to find out what happens next. It’s not your typical sci-fi romance. It is very well written and there is more action and fighting than there is steamy scenes. Overall a great story-line and a great read.

A fast-paced story that held my interest from the first page. Human Emma gets kidnapped by aliens and sold at auction, Ex-gladiator Athazar tries to buy her but when he cannot he tries to get her to safety and it all goes wrong. There is danger, suspense, drama, evil Aliens and romance. I hope this is going to be a series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I am always looking for a good sci-fi romance and this one is a keeper! The storyline is intriguing with a very alpha hero, an escaped Imperial slave-turned-lone mercenary, and the unexpected mate he sees in a slave auction. Which leads to a failed rescue attempt and eventually, both Athazar and Emma being sold to a gladiator arena and Athazar's former royal nemesis. I really enjoyed this book!

Emma is stolen from Earth by aliens where they sell her at auction. Athazar is an ex-gladiator and when he sees Emma at auction, know that she belongs to him. Will he be able to save her? Fast-paced read the plenty of drama and steamy chemistry. I was hooked from beginning to end on this sci-fi romance.
November 20, 2018
A good book.
An entertaining read.
I enjoyed the characters and their how they were able to come together in the end.
I will be honest and say that I think I missed the point where Athazar and Emma fell in love.
But it was wonderful.
I would recommend this book.
Happy reading!

Wow ! What an action packed, fast moving, erotic love story. It has all the fear, sadness, and hope any slave can wish for as they fight to be free. Love and an HEA are only the frosting on the cake . This story was well written and worth the time it took to read.

Awesome Book
Loved It! I love a book that makes me cry, laugh, and feels like I'm part of the story. Everything you want in an alien romance; this book has. There's plenty of action, drama, friendships, passion, and steamy hot romance with awesome characters? A must buy and keep them coming.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was sweet, and I'm a sucker for sweet. The writing was decent as well. The fight scenes were really good, so props to that. I know writing fight scenes is a pain in the ass. This is the first book I've read by this author and I'm ready to start reading more. Though it is the third in a series, it was a standalone, as far as I could tell at least.

Great read... in this book Emma finds herself whisked away into outter space, and no not willingly either... she is in for the adventure of a life time unfortunately not much of a fun adventure at that.. sold to slavers and into the arena...

What a surprise. Snatched up by an alien and sold. Then to meet a hot alpha alien. Lots of action, excitement, suspense, fun and much more. Loved it. I recommend it. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.

I found this book to be just okay. Nothing was specifically bad about it though. The characters are actually quite likable and the story was pretty interesting. You may very well enjoy it more than I did. Here's hoping.

Stolen by the Alien Gladiator
A flawlessly executed romance novel which manages to reach the expected and desired conclusion, while taking an unexpected and surprisingly heart aching route to get there.

Delightful Read!
Emma thinks she has hit rock bottom in her life, but then she is kidnapped from earth and sold as a slave. She meets Athazar when he tries to save her, only for both of them to end up in the gladiator arenas.
In spite of the setting, this was a pleasure to read!

72% in, I had to stop reading. I don't get any feelings between the characters, why they are in a relationship, or any sense of involvement in the plot. I'm bored and find myself not caring how it ends.

Good read
Emma was abducted and then sold. Athazar then tried to rescue her but that didn't work out. If you don't sit on the edge of your seat, I would be surprised. Enjoy
Ps the ending is great!

Emma is strong and becomes stronger to survive. A lot gets thrown at her. This is different than most books if this genre. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different in alien abduction stories
