Champion by Anna Hackett

 

4 Star

Space Marine Blaine Strong has been rescued from the alien slavers but is on a mission to rescue the women the slavers still have.  He’s adjusting to his new life on Cathargo and trying to get back to the man he was before the slavers and the drugs they pumped him full.  Saff Essikani has been trained from a young age to fight using her abilities to anticipate what moves are coming her way.  She will need to help Blaine through all of the changes and try to rescue the women still held captive.

I enjoyed the story with these two.  All of the other books have been the female as the human and this one is the reverse.  It was interesting to see how much all of the humans were in the same boat but with some slight changes.  Saff was incredibly strong on her own and when she and Blaine got together, she was even stronger.  Relationship wise this one wasn’t as strong in the storyline as in the other four books.  The focus of this book was more on the slavers and rescuing the other women.  Overall, a good addition to the series.
