All The Love We've Ever Shared

The Gladiators of Outer Space #2

by Carlotta Page

“I’m a killer, infamous across the universe. So too is my rival, destined to die in the gladiatorial Arena. But maybe our human Mate can save us…”

Nina’s entire world has been thrown into turmoil. First, she was abducted by the Hov. Then, she was tossed into the Arena, bait for her two alien lovers to fight over for the entertainment of the cheering audience. Now, she has been presented with two surrender or die.

Except, Nina has no intention of accepting either fate.

The Hov wanted a fight, so that’s exactly what she’ll give them. Bigger and better than any they could have staged themselves. Because Nina’s got something worth fighting for. Her life. Her freedom. And her two alien Mates.

All the Love We’ve Ever Shared is the thrilling conclusion to The Gladiators of Outer Space duet, where a happily-ever-after ending is guaranteed.

"Is it possible to fall even more deeply in love with someone you're already head-over-heels in love with?"

Yes. Absolutely. Because I was so in love with Reke and Vennkor and fell even more in love with them after this book. This was a perfect ending to this duet even though I was on the edge of my seat wondering how we were going to get to that HEA. These characters really had to work for their happiness! It was non-stop action the entire book and I'm so happy it ended the way it did. I hope we get another epilogue in the future to see what they are up to in their new lives.

And congrats to Carlotta for finding a much more fun way to incorporate math terminology in our lives without any actual math being involved.

And I'm definitely going to have to go back and read the series about the other human women!

I enjoyed Reke and Venn being their ridiculous selves in this book. Reke was a fascinating combination of confident and sheltered. Venn opened up a bit, although not as much as I’d hope we’d see. I also really wanted to see the relationship between them grow more. I’m all for trauma bringing people together, but understanding your partner’s background is still important. The resolution of the story seemed a bit half baked too.

Spice: 3/5

✨ARC Review! I received an early copy of this book and this is my honest review.✨
…
Is it possible to fall even more deeply in love with someone you’re already head-over-heels in love with?
…
All The Love We’ve Ever Shared is the highly anticipated part two in Carlotta’s duet, The Gladiators of Outer Space. The ending of book one had me SOBBING and I’m so happy there’s a HEA under all this chaos. This gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me!

This book was nonstop action and you never knew if anyone was going to be ok. At the end of book one we were left with Reke beating Venn in the arena and his survival unknown. The pain in Nina’s POV had me in shambles. I could truly feel her emotions and her shutting down. 😩😭😖

I was scared for the MC’s throughout the book. No one was ever truly healed nor are they in any condition to be fighting for their lives. Everyone was running on pure adrenaline until the very end. With all the twists and turns I truly thought they wouldn’t survive. There’s also a huge mind game between Nina and the Hov that had me staring at my screen like 😱😳🤯.

While there’s a HEA, they really have to fight for it. The end of the book gives you the biggest sigh of relief. There’s a bit more spice in this book than the first one. It’s steamy with MF and MFM! We even get a bi-awakening with a tiny dash of MM! 😮‍💨🥵🫠

** Spoilers ** I know the series is done and it stops in a good place… but I really hope there’s an epilogue one day that bridges the series together. ** Spoilers **

3.5/5 rounding up because I really liked the first one

Dang, this was too short! While it did wrap the story up, I wish it was longer! The plot did move quite quickly, but I didn't really mind that much till the ending (where things were definitely rushed a bit too fast but w/e)

Reke had so much character development, I really liked how his feelings progressed. He was definitely my favorite character. I wish Venn had had as much development or at least more page time. His character definitely took a back seat. Nina was okay, kinda the same as the previous book but consistency isn't necessarily a bad thing. Would have loved to see more of their freedom and HEA together. Like all three of them were justttt getting together! Why didn't we get more of this?? Reke was so cute. I bet Venn would have been sexy and generous too, I wish he had gotten more scenes. We really don't get to see the three of them together and happy at all before the book just ends. Even the time on the ship was summed up. We only get like a brief, rushed conclusion. An epilogue would have been nice? Maybe they pop up in the other series? Idk. The ending was pretty rushed they didn't even say I Love you, just made a joke about living together? Didn't really feel like an ending to me. They just escaped the bad guys but things weren't really figured out. I think the first book was a lot stronger but since it ends on such a cliff hanger you kinda have to read this too 🤷‍♀️

No ending

This book was a let down from book 1. There wasn't any real coinclusion, and there were still a few errors that cause a reread of bits.

I will definitely read more by this author. I'm just sad this didn't have anything more to the ending but an immediate escape.

[Poetry Drive · Rating 3 out of 5]

Solid, positive 3 stars. Not bad for any book but not great compared to book 1 which was a solid 5 for me.

I was hoping for something longer as the conclusion to this little series. I do appreciate the HEA with Reke finally accepting and even exploring Venn and embracing their poly relationship.

I was surprised that they picked up someone else in their escape, especially considering that they are a new character… so that was kinda random. Not bad, but perhaps a bit too convenient.

I also think the circumstances that led to their ultimate freedom was too convenient… it makes sense but it really feels like they had some help.

This book was only 189 pages so there was definitely room for an epilogue. The fact that it was missing felt very unsatisfying and was a missed opportunity.

We also never got a group scene with both of them going at it with Nina, although there were plenty of other things going on as the third wheel spectated. That also felt like a missed opportunity.

~ STORY 📝 ~

I loved to finally read about those 3 happy ending! The last book's cliffhanger made me want to scream, I wanted so bad to find out the rest of the story and now I can be at peace again. 😂

A lot of angst and kinda action-packed, this book is about escaping their prison (while the first one was more about surviving it?). I liked it, it was an easy and entertaining read.

My only sorrow is that the romance felt left out, they barely have time with each other when they're not in some sort of life-and-death situation so... 🥲

This is an arc review. Thanks to the author for the advanced ebook copy 🙏💖

⭐⭐⭐.5

Better than the first one in terms of pacing, but could still use some editing as there are sometimes random missing words or confusing sentences.

I liked the action in this one and thought that Nina antagonising the betting patrons was smart. It did end a little abruptly though and there could have been room for an epilogue.

I actually thought the spice levels in this one were great. It didn't take away from the plot and I loved that Reke and Venn started to get closer as well.

I cackled at Reke saying "Come in here and make me, Fuckwit".

[Marian Pattechat · Rating 5 out of 5]

An action-packed, tension-filled, and passion-rich ending to the story of Nina and her two alien gladiators! This book had me in an even stronger chokehold than the first: it was so unpredictable, and dangers were coming from left and right, and there were many plot twists. There was also humor to ease the tension, with Reke stealing the show with his way with words 😁 The spicy scenes were spicing 😏 Another great series by this author!

[Ellen - most.lyromance · Rating 2 out of 5]

All the Love We’ve Ever Shared is book two and starts immediately where book one ends. Still featuring Nina and her alien dudes, this book follows their escape.

The first book was slightly hard to follow, this one was harder still. Nina and her men are attempting to escape and if you look too closely, none of if makes sense. But also, they need to stop and have spicy times under blankets often. Zero decisions make sense, but sure.

Overall, I did need to find out what would happen and didn’t put the book down. Did I understand it? Not really. Did I care? Not at all.

The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it ended too soon. Ms. Page, may we please have another book? Please...

[Chrissy Loves Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Finally, Peace Has Been Restored to My Chaotic Heart

The way the last book ended had me dramatically clutching my Kindle and yelling, “Ma’am, HOW COULD YOU?!” So when I say I sprinted to read this one—I mean it. And now? Now I can breathe again. I’ve been released from emotional cliffhanger purgatory.

This book picks up with chaos, tension, and one very stressful prison break. If book one was “let’s survive this madness,” book two is “run for your lives, try not to die, and maybe kiss if there’s time.” Spoiler: there’s barely time. These poor characters cannot catch a break—and honestly, I was stressed with them.

It’s fast-paced, a little action movie, a little soap opera, and a whole lot of “OH NO WHAT NOW.” I flew through it. Super entertaining, very angsty, and packed with high-stakes drama. It gave.

Now, if I had one tiny emotional wound left open, it’s this: WHERE WAS MY ROMANCE TIME?! I love these characters. I adore their bond. But I wanted more soft moments. More gazing. More smooches without the threat of death looming overhead. Just one breakfast scene, maybe??

Still, despite the lack of casual cuddling, this was a fantastic conclusion to the story. Fast, intense, and full of payoff. I’m happy. I'm whole. And I’m definitely keeping my eye on whatever Charlotta Page writes next—because clearly, she knows how to keep a girl on edge.

[GoldenEyeOfHorus · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 stars.

Not nearly enough spice and got really long-winded and repetitive towards the end.

17/12

Well… what can I say? After that damn cliffhanger? That was straight-up evil. Criminal behavior. Thank every god in every galaxy that I didn’t have to wait to start this one.

I was dying to know what would happen to them. Reke did what he had to do, but I never believed for a second that he would actually kill Venn. Not in a million years. The situation is horrific, yes, but there’s just no universe where Reke turns on him like that. Still… I honestly couldn’t see a way out. Everything looked hopeless.

Thank the gods for Reke, seriously. It’s so hot when he goes full protective alpha over Nina and Venn. He’s so terrifying that even the Hov guards think twice before trying anything. That kind of presence? That kind of dominance? Yeah. Delicious.

And gods, Reke is actually… cute. In his own terrifying way. He’s constantly worrying about keeping Nina and Venn safe, even while trying to convince himself he doesn’t care that much. He’s clearly fighting his feelings for Venn because the situation is impossible. He already struggles to protect Nina — and if he admits Venn is his too? That’s two people he’d die for. Two people to guard like mates. That kind of bond scares him.

What makes it even more interesting is the dynamic between them. Venn is this massive horned blue alien, but he’s gentle, thoughtful, and as Reke himself said early on — he’s not a predator. He smells like prey. Not weak prey, not easy prey, but prey nonetheless. And Reke? Reke is the predator. The violent one. The protector. Their alpha.

And the tension that creates? Insane.

Oh sweet baby Asmodeus… and then we get MM action. YES. THANK YOU. It’s so hot. I love how Reke doesn’t dance around his desires. He wants Nina? He says it. He wants Venn? He says that too. No shame. No hesitation. Just raw honesty. It fits his character perfectly and makes the chemistry explode off the page.

This book took everything that worked in the first one and turned the intensity up to eleven. The danger feels real, the emotional stakes are higher, and the relationship dynamics are far more complex than I expected.

Reke shines as a terrifying yet deeply loyal alpha, Venn brings emotional softness and depth, and Nina remains a grounded, strong center holding them together. The predator/prey contrast, the MM tension, and the shared survival pressure make this relationship feel earned instead of forced

All the Love We’ve Ever Shared by Carlotta Page

When I say I’ve been WAITING for this one!! I am so happy it’s finally out- the first part left us on a bit of a cliffhanger. What I really love about this duet is that they’re a why choose of two different men, and each book is in a way dedicated to each male. Both books include both males’ perspectives, however, each one has one male’s perspective more. This one is more of Reke’s perspective.

To start, Reke’s perspective was so fun to read (not that the events in the book were fun, because they mostly weren’t… a lot of fighting, separation, ☠️, and a really hard escape plan) because until Nina showed up, Reke was mostly just a fighting machine. Nina woke feelings in Reke, as did Venn, that he has never felt before and we, luckily, go along this journey of him figuring them out. His curiosity, jealousy, and just plain stubbornness is so endearing when we’re reading his POV, I fully understand why Nina loves him so much.

Reke’s determination to protect both Nina and Venn really helps with them trying to escape the Hov, and because Reke isn’t the best with words still, is the best way he can express what they both mean to him.

The thought put into this story to bring their journey to a conclusion is amazing. The way the first book ended, I wasn’t sure how we’d come back from that, but Carlotta Page really wrote it well. I loved this one just as much as All the Rage We’ve Ever Lived, and selfishly I hope we can get another bonus chapter or two of these three after the last chapter… especially one where we learn if Reke ever gets over his hatred of mud 😜

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. THANK YOU!

[bunnireadsalot · Rating 3 out of 5]

... what happened? :( book one was so captivating, it had me on the edge the entire time and it made my heart ache the way i love. I just do not understand what happened between the release of book one and the release of book two... This one was kind of a let down in my opinion, while the story and world building continued strong, it felt like the relationship between the three felt lacking in a way. I would have enjoyed just a tad more romance between the three, especially after the escape - considering what happened between them in book 1, i was hoping and expecting for more out of the three. There was no epilogue and the ending felt incomplete and a little rushed.

But I will definitely be reading more from the author, as book one remains a 5 star read

Captivating

This series is fabulous I loved it all the twists the turns the brutality but most of all the love. It captivated my attention and held it I'm looking forward to reading the sister series to see what happens to the other women but I could of enjoyed more I'd totally read how these amazing characters build more of their life together but I'm not going to spoil anything a long journey for the characters but one you'll just have to read! Especially if you love close proximity and a slave gladiator life with an under dog tone and spice lots of yummy spice!

[Ching's line · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

I very much was interested in the series. couldn't wait to see how these three were going to conduct themselves and how the author was pulling the cords for the action, drama, suspense, as well as the sexual entanglements of the main characters. I was on edge until I got to the end. Really don't like to bought that far and the happily ever after falls short with unfinished placement of characters. 🤔☕🕵🏽‍♀

[Taylor · Rating 2 out of 5]

I would have loved more development with the characters. I enjoyed book 1, but this book felt rushed, especially towards the end. It's repetitive between both books (not sure how many times she needs to remind you that she was a nurse and took karate for 6 months), and I've also never seen the word "mayhaps" used so many times before. Overall, I think I would give the series 3 stars. I would have enjoyed another book with Reke.

[Claire · Rating 5 out of 5]

Picks up right where the first one left off, with no break or recap - love it! A great conclusion to the duology, though the ending is open enough that I would read a third if the author wrote it. There's a great balance between each character's POV, and we especially spend more time with Reke as he struggles with the idea of freedom and whatever his feelings toward Venn are. I did feel sorry for Ney as the third (fourth?) wheel in their escape!

[Tanya · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really good story!

After the cliffhanger ending of the first book, I couldn't wait to read this one. It did not disappoint! Exciting, endge-of-your-seat action & suspense, and the spice was good, but not over-the-top.

I will note that this could've used an editor. Words were missing, the wrong words were used, and there were misspellings. Made my brain trip up, and I had to reread quite a bit. But if you can ignore all that, it's a good story.

[Milly · Rating 5 out of 5]

This duet will go down as one of my all time favorites! I appreciate the build up of the relationships. It’s not like the Gladiator Alien books I’ve read in the past as it’s not focused on the blood and gore aspect! Love our MMCs and the FMC is honestly one of my favorites on how she handles the whole abduction! Please do yourself a favor and read this duet!

This book had me on the edge of my seat and SWEATING
But without stressing me out TOO much

They did fuck a lot and at some point I was like „omg pls stop you’re literally in a life threatening situation“ but I guess if you could die at any second you’d wanna fuck your boyfriends once more lmao

[TendaiisNarrative · Rating 4 out of 5]

The thing I appreciated about this duology is that I expected it to be very predictable (and don't get me wrong, it had its moments), but for the most part, I was pleasantly surprised by the direction it took at times. Reke completely stole my heart in this story, and I can't wait to read the extra chapter I signed up for the newsletter to read.

[Nim_reads_a_lot · Rating 3 out of 5]

This story ended way too early. I needed a lot more. Nina and her two aliens plus another escape. Somehow they find time to have fun times which was odd to me as I really wanted them to focus. Oh well. The story does have some grammatical issues but it was fine. I just think it’s so incomplete. Somehow I liked the first book the most.

[Aryn · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was so disappointing to read after my five star high from the first book.

I would have much rather read about them finding the other women and learning to live together on a new planet than them escaping for most of the book.

I came for the cliffhanger

And stayed for Reke. He must be protected at all cost. Watching him realize his own feelings for Venn was my favorite part.

Maybe in a few days I’ll have more to say about this story.
