Warriors of Agron #1
Taken by the Alien Warrior
The aliens who abducted me made a mistake.
The Grivath have sold us on Gule- a planet known for dealing in human flesh.
The women who are being held captive with me are in high demand and they all look like models. Me? I’m 5'2 shy, curvy, and a kindergarten teacher. Maybe they really meant to take my pageant queen sister?
If that's not bad enough, our ship has crashed and half of the women are missing. Did I mention the locals want to eat us? Insert the tall, sexy warrior aliens, who saved us. Things are looking up, except that one of them is eyeing me like a snack, and not in a cannibalistic way-- if you catch my drift.
Terex is rough, fierce, and bossy, and doesn't seem to understand that I can't stay and be his snuggle bunny. I'm not quite sure why he isn't chasing after one of the other women when every man I've ever known has overlooked me.
But not Terex. When he looks at me, he doesn’t seem to see chubby, awkward Ellie. And his gaze burns brighter instead of shifting away.
Now, I've just got to convince him to help me find the other women and get back to Earth.
Should be a piece of cake… Right?
Taken by the Alien Warrior is a full-length romance with no cliffhanger and a guaranteed HEA. While this is a spin-off series from the hugely popular Arcav Alien Invasion series, this is a standalone series.
If you like hot, dominant aliens, kick-ass heroines, and steamy romance, you'll love Warriors of Agron- Hope Hart's new sci-fi romance series.

This is the first book I've read from Hope Hart and the blurb was enticing enough, the h being abducted by aliens, rescued by huge barbarian aliens...right up to my alley.
The first few chapters are ok, there's this group of human women all abducted from their beds and transported to an alien auction where they're sold to different buyers. Some of them stay together with the same owners, a bunch of purple aliens, and while being again transported to who knows where, they are then "freed" by a different race of aliens (yellow this time) who take them from the spaceship to take them to their tribe in the planet Agron. Well, these guys are bad news, but there come the hunky good aliens and save the women from them.
And here is where started to go downhill for me. The leader warrior, Terex (MMC) decides Ellie (MFC) is the one for him and wants her to stay with him in order to court her; Ellie, who's been bullied all her life because she's short and chubby, feels attracted to him but is decided to sabotage a possible relationship.
Frankly, this character and a secondary one, Nevada (another of the human women, a former SEAL) completely ruined the story for me. Both characters are petulant, irrational and self-absorbed. The allegedly SEAL lacks self-control whatsoever, and she even insults the king of the tribe in front of everyone (I can't accept that a person like her could survive a week in the military). These two women wouldn't survive in a different country (they'd be kicked out) let alone a different world. I think authors write this type of women believing they express passion, but they come across as obnoxious imo.
Perhaps this is a personal dislike, or it's cultural, but the romance part was lost on me, I couldn't understand how a guy like Terex (considerate, brave and honorable) could feel so attracted to someone like the h...it was unbelievable to me. I wanted to like her but couldn't.
I hate to give low ratings, but I have to be honest; it doesn't mean that other readers find this amusing and can enjoy it. If you don't mind this type of female character and enjoy abductions and barbarian aliens, this is quite the standard story for that.

Sadly it fell short
This book is a great summary of what had potential to be a good book. If only the author had written a longer book and taken the time to develop the characters/world/situations, this could have been fantastic. But alas, she did not. It is an instalove/lust book, where the hero immediately falls in love for the heroine, but we don’t know why. The h is described as not being very attractive, not confident, kind of a coward, honestly no real redeeming qualities, so why did the H fall for her? She is honestly a bit of a doormat and happy about it, she just wants to be a kept woman, which does not make a very interesting story.
Then some rivals for his affections are introduced for no real reason. When the heroine gets upset that a previous flame was flirting with the H and touching his face and his response was to smile at the rival (even though he knows the h has some serious trauma and confidence problems) the h is made to seem as having trust issues and he gets angry at her that she won’t trust him. How about not letting someone you know is in love with you touch you and flirt with you when you are in a relationship with someone else?
Not a lot of action or intrigue. Just a quick instalove (for no real reason) story. The shame of it all is that it had potential to be something great, if only it was developed further, if the characters were given real depth, if the story was expanded.

I’m finally discovering alien romances that don’t take a looooong time to set up. This one leaps into a story about human women who are abducted, rescued by evil people, then rescued by good people… although their group is split up in the process.
I didn’t love the pairing of this one. Terex is a hot warrior and Ellie is a shy, short, curvy kindergarten teacher who can’t believe he’s into her. What I didn’t like was that throughout the book they never really talked to one another about their wants or the future… and even at the end when she’s insecure because an ex-lover is flirting with him, he’s like “how dare you dishonor me by thinking I would cheat” and then leaves her alone. Like… after she told you how she was bullied and her pageant queen sister tortured her, you’re not going to give her a pass for being insecure?
The aliens on this planet are again, not really aliens. They’re basically muscular guys with a few strips of scales on their skin because they’re descendants from dragons, but appear to just be oversized humans. The world building seemed a tad underdeveloped, unless I missed how everyone was able to speak the same language immediately.

Alien warrior!?
I did not believe that these guys were alien for a minute. They kissed, knew the terms for alien female anatomy and understood slang too well to be alien. Was so very disappointed with that. If you are going to write an alien abduction book at least let the aliens be ... well... alien!

All hell breaks loose when a small group of Earth Girls hits Agron.
One Warrior just can’t get enough; even with Terex believing he was dying he could only think of Ellie’s kisses.
“Kiss me…one last time…tiny female.” I crack open my eyes to find Ellie scowling at me.
“You’re not dying,” she declares even as tears run down her face.
“You don’t get any kisses until you’re back at camp.”
“Cruel female.”
And this young man wrung his tiny female out in the best way possible. The poor girl could hardly walk… Yes Please!
Sweet story that I couldn’t put down until it was finished. As I was reading I was feeling sorry for this group of girls. They would have been better off taken by the Arcav. But, at least there was no mention of Horns…LOL

I liked this story. I will never agree with the whole protecting women means taking away their choices but stubborn is as stubborn does! Also, a man who allows another woman to touch him when he knows that woman has already lied to the woman he claimed to love about being his "mate" in an attempt to drive the woman he loves away is totally in the wrong. And making the woman he loves feel like the hurt and jealousy is all her fault is sucky! Yes, she needs to recognize her worth and beauty but you do not kick someone when they are already down. You help them up until they can stand by themselves. I'm the end it all works out though.

Loved it. H is strong but sensitive and h needs to stop doubting herself. Good world building.

This was pretty fare for an Alien romance. I wish that there would have been more of when the women were stolen to how they ended up at the first auction. It seemed like after the ship crashed they lucked out, but sadly that wasn't true, it was only later after they were saved again they were told how bad of a situation they were in.
It was interesting to see Ellie, Vivian, Nevada and Alexis settle in at the new place. All of them made some interesting choices about the missing women, Alexis, most of all. I was glad to see how things ended for Ellie and Terex and look forward to reading more in this series.

I really enjoyed reading this book. A group of women have been taken from their beds on earth and wake up in a strange ship in a cage where they are in all forms of being undressed. Ellie is the only one in flannelette pjs. All the other women are gorgeous and tall and fit looking, while she is short with a large bust, wide hips and thick thighs.
The group of women are then taken from the cage and one by one sold at an auction and then taken to another spaceship and into another smaller cage and locked in. Then their ship crashes on a planet so foreign from earth and they are rescued by a race of men they have never seen before. Then they are rescued by three new types of aliens who tell them they are rescuing them from aliens who will eat them. There is a battle and four of the women have been carried off. They embark on the journey to their village with he promise to find those who have been taken.
Terex is the leader of this group of men and he finds Ellie to be a prize among women and decides that she will be his woman. This story develops into a fantastic tale of endurance, adventure and a sweet romance filled with hot steamy moments between Terex and Ellie. Well worth reading, and I have been left wanting to find out more of the journeys of the other women. I’m totally hooked on what promises to be a great series.

Taken by one alien race only to be saved by another! This is a continuation of Hope Hart's Arcav series and features the missing women from the first book. I enjoyed this actually a little more than I thought I would. Really hope Nevada's book is next!

One hunky playboy alien warrior met one sweet (ex) human teacher with confidence issues. The book was a good kick start for a group of a human female trying to survive an alien planet. I have to say, I now kinda dig all this stranded-in-new-world-slash-planet with a game of survival as the main backbone. This book, in particular, was quite intriguing. Not only that it took a light on how the h tried to survive in a planet and its habitats, but also dealt with being in a team, body issues, and crash course on survival 101; on top of finding the love of course. I like how the story kept evolving as the characters in the story popping in. I guess that's a must since there're sequels. All the characters were well developed and, I have to be honest, I liked all of them; with their flaws and quirks. The book was also easy to digest and read.

dnf at 72%
I made it that far and trust me it was grueling. This book is very very very very VERY rushed. Time moves ridiculously. There are splits of pov that happen and it’s a struggle. So most of the basis of this book happens in the first 9% and then the rest is all the follow out. But you have a group of women we aren’t really introduced to… not even properly. And it’s just a bit of a mess. We have no structure except self imposed and none of them seem to register the fact that they are at the mercy of these aliens that they are on the planet of.
The only thing I took from this is human women are selfish, cruel, and demanding.

I felt a little lost at first...like I should have probably started with the "Arcav Alien Invasion" series first.
Elllie was a great heroine but she lacked some self-confidence which is to be expected considering all the bullying she's been through.
Terex was definitely my favorite...very sweet and sexy.

Really cute!
This book slowly won me over. Between Ellie’s growth and Terex’s loyalty, I was completely smitten in the end. I’m looking forward to getting each woman’s story!

I was looking for a good alien romance and stumbled upon this little gem. I found it intriguing and couldn't put it down. I will be reading the next one and would recommend.

I enjoyed the setup of this book and the world building is wonderful, i like the characters and slow burn feelings. The conflict worked really well too, as seemed fitting and true to who they're.
Ellie and Terex are rather adorable together, learning about one another as they go and differences between them. Both are rather set in their ways so it was fun to see them push each other, Ellie with trying to protect him and Terex admiration from the start.
Especially admired the woman so much and how they supported each other. Even with their differences, they bond over the situation and fight for each other. Not willing to sit around and wait for the aliens to help, took the situation into their hands.
True it may seem foolish with their lack of knowledge on this world, but I appreciated it so much that they were willing to at least try. I probably liked that more then the romance, that the woman are a challenge and very different perspectives on events. They were not damsels in distress throughout, they tried their best even if they didn't always make the best choices.
Overall I enjoyed this story, it was fun and fast paced with lots of growth while leaving open for the next books. Still gives them a happy ending 💕

This was ok. I couldn't really get into it.
Female humans are kidnapped. The ship goes down. They are kidnapped again, then rescued by another race of aliens. Who promises to keep them safe. Ellie wants to believe that they will keep them safe, but she is so insecure and self-conscience that she doesn't really see what's going on around her. That a mighty warrior Terex is claiming her for himself. She stays in his hut when he is injured she takes care of him.
Honestly, I'm not sure what he see's in her. Terex is a warrior, next in line to be king of his clan and he's interested in Ellie and not Nevada? She'd a least be his equal. I felt no chemistry between Ellie and Terex.

Es raro de cojones y lo peor es que engancha

Overall, this was ...eh. The timeline and pacing is off, the point of conflict is relationship angst (which isn't my favorite), world building was lackluster, the story felt rushed while at the same time it felt like nothing much happened the last half of the book, and characters weren't as well developed as they could have been.
When picking out an alien romance, I have to kinda ignore the cover because sometimes the aliens are described as more alien than they appear on the cover and I don't want to overlook a book because it has a photoshop job that doesn't do the aliens justice and the writing inside is great. In this case, the Braxian aliens appear to be exactly like humans, just a little taller, tanner, and some scales on the shoulders. Kinda boring. There was a slightly cool potential tidbit about the scales but it didn't go anywhere in this book and based on the blurbs in the series, not sure when it'd be addressed, if much at all.
I wanted to like the FMC Ellie more. As I looked through my next book options, I choose this one because of the description of her as shy, curvy, chubby, awkward Ellie. I did like that, but she had other traits that started to grate. Was there a singular page in this book where she wasn't crying? Don't get me wrong - their situation is absolutely terrible and traumatic and shock is a hell of a thing - but easily more than half the time her crying was over perceived relationship woes, which was also the source of most of the tension or conflict in the book. Meh. It felt more like high school drama level of weepy relationship problems than a grown adult dealing with an alien species.
Terex and all of the other male characters were okay. What specific personality traits did Terex have? You know, something besides the way he looked or being a warrior? Anything? I think the king Rakiz was given more personality to be honest.
Their insidious cultural misogyny was also frustrating as a reader. They feel as though they have to "protect the females" because there are so few but this protection includes withholding information and bossing the women around. Despite there being a 10:1 ratio of men to women, why were women the ones seemingly doing all the work around the camp? I think Terex's dad is the only one I recall having a job that wasn't warrior.
While Terex is allowed to have female friends and keep the friends he's had before, I found it a little odd that he was so close with Learza despite her intentionally lying and manipulating Ellie in a move very similar to the kind of bullying shit she was constantly describing to Terex. It would have been different if we'd known he had a real conversation with Learza about knocking that shit off or something but as far as the reader or Ellie knows, nothing like that happened. It was clearly meant to be a plot point to drive up the relationship angst but it annoyed me.
I might try out the next book in the series sometime because it involves two characters I was more interested in, Nevada and Rakiz.

It was clearly meant to be a plot point to drive up the relationship angst but it annoyed me.
I might try out the next book in the series sometime because it involves two characters I was more interested in, Nevada and Rakiz.

I liked this book and characters were interesting and made you want to know more. We got quite a bit of back story for Ellie but for Terrex not so much. I want to more than he’s a good fighter and best looking. Ellie talked about her life but it all seemed very one sided she didn’t ever hear about his life growing up.... He’s a warrior and women are treasured that’s great but doesn’t explain about him just where he’s from. I Like how Ellie finally gets over her issues to claim what is hers. But me if I share and care about someone then you ask questions. I did enjoy the book and gave 3 stars but I would just need more...

It was a good story. Ellie has been bullied by her family because of how she looks. So I can see why it was hard for her to accept that Terex was attracted to her. This is what created the conflict between them.
Also, the “aliens” were more humanoid looking except for some scales on their shoulders. Since they were descendants from dragons I expected more dragon like features.
The world building needed a little more work too.

Great job on this first book of this series. Eight women abducted from earth. Ellie a kindergarten teacher. Who is small, curvy and believes to be average looking. But once teresa sees her he is immediate transfix, he wants to know everything about her. but she and the other women want to leave and go back home, what will happen next?

It was okay I guess, h was way too chilled out even after knowing she was abducted by aliens. There was lot of unnecessary name giving to her fellow mates because they didn't like her.
And this book felt so much like Ruby Dixon's books so nothing felt new. H was good too but I liked the other character Nevada, the MC from next book the most, so I'm just gonna read the next one immediately.

Je ne m'attendais à rien et je ne suis pas si déçue que ça ! ^^
C'est court, fluide, facile à lire. Les personnages son assez sympa mais je pense que le couple du tome 2 sera beaucoup intéressant à découvrir. Nevada devrait donner du fil à retordre au roi et on adore les femmes fortes comme elle 💪🏻
Je pense que je pourrais me laisser tenter par la suite du coup.
Bonne lecture 📖

It really is the season for monster fucker smut. Anyway, this was pretty fun, the plot picked up quickly and I enjoyed the set up. I wasn’t really a fan of how incredibly indecisive and insecure our FMC was, not how insanely insta-lovey this was but I am nonetheless still hooked and I’ll probably read the whole series 😂
**2.75 stars**

A great start to a new series. And it looks like each of our new aliens have taken a liking to our human females, and it’s making me giddy. Can’t wait for the next book.
I loved it.
