Publisher's summary

Abducted by alien slavers and taken to a lawless desert world, the last thing starship pilot Mia expects is to find herself in the protective, brawny arms of a wild, blue-skinned alien.

Rescued by gladiators on the alien world of Carthago, Mia is working to find other abducted humans who are still lost. But someone else also needs her help - the untamed alien who's saved her twice. Rescued from vicious fight rings he's fought in since he was a child, Vek is prone to losing control in aggressive fits of rage...and Mia discovers that she is the only who can calm him. As she finds herself drawn to the man beneath the beast, she knows that with his enhanced senses, Vek can help her find her friends.

For years, all Vek'ker has known is death, darkness, and killing. Despite his newfound freedom, he is struggling to control his rages and withdrawal from the drugs his captors used on him. Only one scent soothes him, one voice calms him, and one woman is his light in the dark. Vek will do anything to protect Mia and make her happy...including vowing to find her friends.

With the gladiators from the House of Galen, Vek, and Mia follow mysterious clues into a dangerous part of the desert on the trail of the missing humans. They are drawn closer together but as they enter the deadly Illusion Mountains, they have no idea of the dangers lying in wait for them, or how far they will both be pushed to their limits in order to survive.

The Best Book in Series

This book had so much action, adventure, and love intwined in story It actually had an interesting storyline and the narrator did a wonderful job with characters. The characters were very likable. This book is favorite’s list worthy. On to the next book!

Blue!

Vek, formerly known as Blue, has vowed to help find the other humans enslaved around Carthago (or beyond). He would do almost anything for the diminutive, Earth-born Mia... including track a dangerous scent as their only lead.

Loved this! Always enjoy returning to the world of Carthago.

Good story

BOOK REVIEW....
Love this series and the characters. Each book gets better and better. I look forward to the next book.

NARRATOR REVIEW....
The narrator did a great job with the story.

Another great book by Anna!

Anna..as usual you have written yet another great book! Cant wait to see if Gayland will find his mate! Everyone has someone except for him... I'm thinking someone fiesty, with dark skin... hmmmm.. Lol. Thanks for another awesome story!

I bow to the si/fi Queen Anna Hackett!!!

I love si/fi romance stories, and I have never come across stories so fantastic, such an art form with your words. The world's you create, I am in awe. I didn't think I was going to love Vek so much, but his character was just what Mia and Vek's love story needed. Again you knocked this one out of the park. And as always Vivienne as narrator was great. I don't know how she keeps up on all the different characters voices. Don't pass on this series. It is worth the audiobook.

Awesome adventure!

Action, romance, solid story line. Excellent author and reader!u thoroughly enjoyed every word. Anna Hackett did well in Beast!

Love all the books

Loved all these books All of them are great this one was pretty intense. Super sexy and good and exciting!!

Acceptance matters!

Mia and Vek’s friendship was misunderstood by those around them until her understanding, compassionate nature helped the skepticism of others recognized his true feelings of wanting to be accepted. Mia also helps Vek to accept that he’s not quite the beast everyone has labeled him! Vivienne Leheny’s performance helps convey the importance and power of what it means to be truly accepted for who you are!

Wonderful addition to the series.

Great story with all the characters interacting with new characters. Can't wait for the following story.
