I was abducted, sold, then crash-landed on a strange planet... only to be abducted again. And you know the funny thing?
I barely even care.
I’m numb.
You see, I’ve already lost everything.
When you’re doing something you love, you never think that it could be the last time. That someone might take your life from you and leave you stranded on a planet where most of the locals are out to get you.
Now I’m lying here, far from home, bleeding out in a trap built for a huge beast that could show up at any second and eat me.
Which isn’t quite how I pictured my death...
But an alien warrior has found me instead. He says he can help me. Unfortunately, on this planet, I’ve heard that before. And it's never boded well for me.
He’s huge, arrogant, and he’s got muscles in all the right places. Even a dying woman can appreciate the view when he takes off his shirt to keep me warm.
I don’t know if I even have it in me to save myself at this point, but two women are counting on me to get back to them with help.
Can I trust the alien warrior to save us? And while he’s saving my life, can he make me feel something… anything other than hopelessness?
Saved by the Alien Warrior is book three of the Warriors of Agron series, and it's a full-length romance with no cliffhanger and a guaranteed HEA. While this is a standalone, you'll enjoy it much more if you start with Taken by the Alien Warrior.
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.
Hope Hart has always told stories, and eventually, the characters in her head wouldn't leave her alone until she wrote them down.
She loves strong, kickass heroines and hot, brooding alpha males. Hope believes that everyone deserves a happy ending, although the best happy endings are fought for.
Another solid entry in this series. The story is engaging, I want to know more about the other women kidnapped from Earth and I enjoyed the chemistry between Zarix and Beth. Considering the start of this series, it has quickly made up for that bit of a stumble. The only thing I can see as being an issue is the casual comments about how thin the heroine is, but considering she is a ballerina, I feel it tracks with the character. Weight is always a sensitive issue, though so your mileage may vary with this. All I know is I can’t wait for the next book to come out.
Omg! This was so, so good! I enjoyed it even more than the last one, which says a lot!
Zarix is the perfect grumpy hero, and Beth is sweet and loving without being a pushover. Actually, I found her kickass, and I loved her how her ballerina skills made her tough. And holy shit, the battle scene at the end had me chewing all my nails off. Did not expect that!
If you are looking for an exciting & smutty read with some hot barbarian aliens, look no further. This series is rocking my socks so far, and I'm about to dive into the next one.
Fyi, I found the first book a little less exciting than the next two, but the stories all overlap and it's totally worth starting at the beginning.
I absolutely loved the first two stories. But, this one touched me.
I felt the intensity when the battle was about to start. I was shocked at how gripped I was by the battle. When Razik’s Warriors arrived and the Female Warrior slid down the Mishua I heard the Lone Ranger’s theme song playing in my head… Awesome!
And, the way Zarix begged Beth to stay with him melted my heart. It was so very human (a.k.a. Non Alien).
I did have one complaint about this story. The book was only a couple of hundred pages long, so I wish the author had given the story just a bit more flirty and sexual innuendos to increase the attraction before the couple hit the furs. To me it just felt rushed.
And, now we have a Dancing Warrior… You just can’t keep an Earth Girl Down, not when she knows a Grand Battement… Onto book 4.
Oh, my heart!! Read it in a day. This book was just as riveting and well-written as the others of Hope’s I’ve read! And I’ve read so many!! Highly recommend! Please read the first two in this series as well..it will mean so much more! Ellie and then Nevada’s stories were just as good, and this one likewise had just enough drama and danger to make all the sweetness and juiciness real and not *too* sweet, but not frustrating either. Wonderful balance. Love the real dialogue and bits of humor peppered in. Real reactions to tough situations. I guess if I were to write a novel, this is the way I’d want write it! Gah! So good!
I was so so on the romance in this one, Beth and Zarix were a bit meh.... I found I was more interesting in Beth finding the other women and talking to them, along with the larger story arc of the bad aliens banding together going after the good aliens. I found it interesting just who was allying with the bad aliens.
I’m so glad the streak of “more plot” seems to be continuing. This was fun! Beth was not a pushover and Javir was a cute side character, I’m glad he was a part of the story. And a battle! Wins!
Wow, this one was better than I expected! It's a literary rollercoaster ride that is hard to put down. I stated up all night to read through it, I just couldn't put it down. Beth is a freaking ballerina but she's amped up like 1000%, which was awesome. The only thing that bugged me, and it was intentional, I know, was her alien dude and his 'I'm not worthy" mindset. It got old after a minute. It's a terrific book, intense with a lot of unexpected action, I mean, she's a freaking ballerina survivor, for gosh sakes, lol. I loved it, you should read it, it's absolutely my favorite one in this series right now!
In the beginning, I really didn't feel the romance with this one. Maybe I just loved Nevada's story too much..
Zarix was pretty cold and lacked personality most of the book. Towards the end, he definitely warmed up. The dance studio was a very sweet gesture.... Beth had more of a backbone than Ellie which was good but she was missing some brains...
Beth demanded that Zarix take her on his journeys/battles because she thought it will lead her to her friends. This would have been fine if she was trained in fighting or at least at full strength but she wasn't. She was a ballerina with a critically injured leg who almost passed out from pain several times. She had to walk with a cane or crutches and was in constant agony It was selfish to put Zarix at risk to ease her guilt of escaping. And, Zarix was a dumb ass for taking her!
The last battle scene was awesome! Action packed. At least this time, Beth was somewhat prepared. She trained with a crossbow and just had a bad limp. I did love how Nevada and Rakiz saved the day- showing up with troops and explosives. Yay!!! Nevada always makes me laugh. It was nice to see Beth and Javir fight the Violdi at the end - not be just a liabilities. But.... what happened to Zarix's father?!? No details were given. I assumed he was killed with the other traitors.
I liked Javir alot- that blood thirsty, yet innocent in his own way, kid. He was cute and extremely protective. I would like to see how he is when he grows up.
I did not see Perik's betrayal coming. I wish I could have learned more about why he did it. I also liked Tazo's character a lot. I hope a future book is about him

This book was amazing and these books just get more amazing as the series goes on! I loved Beth and her warriors story. I can’t say enough about how interesting the stories are and how different each woman and each warrior is but it also goes to show you that love can conquer all. That all you need is a little shove and some chemistry and boom! There was one part though that was really glossed over that could have been used to pull more story and tie up loose ends for our warrior but that avenue wasn’t used. It was just swept under the rug and that was kind of disappointing. I don’t want to say without giving away a spoiler but to those that will read the book and to those that have read it you will know the part that I’m referring to. If you don’t, then you’re slow on the uptake lol. But other than that this was a great read! Cant wait to read the others!
I liked how Zavir’s backstory explained his feelings and actions of not feeling good enough/wanting to protect people.
I do think certain things could be more fleshed out in this series as a whole, but this one felt the most complete to me so far, maybe because of the action of the battle at the end.
Also when he built her a dance studio? Super cute.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I think this was a combo of a lot of reasons why this book just didn’t really connect with me:
-MC I don’t really relate to much: she’s a super thin (they really emphasize this, which isn’t a bad thing I just can’t relate so it kind of took me out. It’s one thing if the circumstances she’s in cause her to lose weight, which is part of it, but she’s just also described as naturally thin so just not my thing) ballet dancer (like black swan obsessed with dancing, also cannot relate at all) who is both very logical but also kinda impulsive -Zarix is the typical giant alien man who is strong and guarded but feels some inexplicable insta-love pull toward MC (there’s literally a line that says ‘I’ve wanted you since I saw you lying in that trap’ where she was literally IMPALED in the leg by a cannibal’s trap!! Like wtf?? How are u thinking of someone in that way when they are in imminent danger and pain!! His personality is pretty bland and he also doesn’t get much description beyond huge and brooding?? Meh -it’s a 3rd installment in a series where I’ve only read book 1, and unlike Evangeline Anderson or some other series where it really doesn’t matter if you read the whole series, this one just felt like I was missing some info and it was hard to dive into it (and that’s on me, not the author necessarily) -soooo much ballet talk but still didn’t feel like I knew the MC at all. I liked the inclusion of her grieving for her parents but I felt like the author really weakly used it to bond Zarix and Beth together with like shared trauma / past sadnesses but it just was really half hearted lol -they have sex like really early on and I just don’t feel like they got to know each other enough!! I wasn’t invested -the description had me thinking this would kind of be more of a unique MC who is more angsty, experiencing extreme depression about her kidnapping and situation, and kind of go deeper into those mental health themes and finding love and overcoming the struggle and transition to this new life? I was hyped for the angst!! But like? That literally wasn’t a part of it at all?? Like the description makes it seem like this girl is feeling so hopeless and lost and ?? She literally isn’t???? She mentioned having “low level depression” like once but all her actions and other thoughts kind of contradict that and I’m just so confused -DNF at 60% in
I really like this series so much more than her first one. It was good but there is something about these Warriors of Agron that is deliciously compelling. The the Alpha male strength and and sense of protection and the fierce these men truly love their women that I've come to enjoy. I also really like the female characters. Each one is so different with their own strengths and weaknesses and they seem to be the perfect compliment to the makes hero's of each of the books. Beth was a prima ballerina was she was abducted by Aliens and sold at auction. After crash landing on a strange planet and then once again being taken by hostile local tribes. She kills one of her captors and males a mad dash for help to save the others. It takes years of training, dicipline and pain to become a world class ballerina and Beth out all her skills, mental strength and ability to deal with pain to good use in this book. Zarix is a Braxian warrior of another tribe. He's on the hunt to kill as many of the evil Voildi as possible when he stumbles on to a captured Beth. When she escaped she got her leg caught in a trap and she as unable to move. Zarix is a war hardened protector and warrior. He's serious, grumpy and drop dead sexy! Beth turned out to be a delicate beautiful woman with a heart of steel and fierce determination and loyalty. As their adventure begins danger is everywhere passion explodes and love heals both of them . This series is well worth the read!
Beth and other human women were kidnapped from Earth by the Grivath, then sold on a slave planet, and finally the ship they are on crashes. After the crash, all of the human women were trapped in a cage on the ship. The Voildi showed up and killed the surviving purple aliens who had bought them before the crash. The new group led by Karok then started a long walk to their camp. The women were in bad shape, some injured, most barefoot. As they stopped to rest a moment, three 7-foot-tall aliens with scales jumped out and fought, grabbing the women and carrying them through the forest. Beth, Zoey, and Ivy are the three they captured. But these Voildi are not in loincloths. They are clothed. They gag the women and continue on their way to their camp.
The women decide that they cannot all escape; but if one of them can get away, they should get help and not stay behind for the other two. Surprisingly, Beth does escape but she ends up bleeding in a trap. Zarix, a Braxian, saves her life. But she promised help for Zoey and Ivy and intends to go back for them, even if she has to do it alone. Will Zarix help her?
The author does a good job describing the landscape and interactions with aliens. It gives the reader a good idea of what the women are going through and what they have to overcome. Grab your copy and see what will happen, especially as the three captives learn that they could be the main course for dinner if the leader hadn’t had other plans for them!
This series keeps improving and wow it really achieves excellence in this book. I read most of her Arcav books and stopped reading because too much angst and little relief from darkness of the plot. This series takes the best aspects of her Arcav series, the characters, and puts them in a plot that is very exciting and satisfying. So here is a bit more detail
Characters: What great characters. Love the heroine. Again the author takes the background of the heroine, a ballet dancer, and makes it a core of what her character does and in a way that is positive not angsty or negative. Really like this. Makes the character interesting and like able. Hero is a bit more stereotypical but still likeable and honorable. Chemistry between the two is good.
Plot: lots of action. Fits into the overall plot of the series a lot of satisfying scenes.
Conflict: A good balance between man vs man and man vs himself. A lot of these sci fi romances go way overboard in one or the other and this gets it just right
World building: This is where some people might fault it. The world is not that different then what earth is. Yes there are different plants and animals and yes there is little technology, but the culture is just not that different. However it fits well with the characters, plot and conflict and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
A prima ballerina with her leg caught in a vicious trap. A seven foot alien loner on the hunt. A child with vengeance on his mind, and packs of man-eating aliens plotting to destroy the Braxian race. If you want high drama and high steam then you need to read Saved by the Alien Warrior. Beth was on the cusp of realising her entire life's ambitions when she was abducted from earth by aliens. Now she's stranded on a planet, lost and alone after killing one of her captors. Zarix finds her but doesn't want the responsibility. He's failed to protect a female in the past and so lives his life alone. He hunts for his tribe and works to keep them safe, but doesn't want or need any further emotional entanglements. However he's always looking out for others and won't abandon Beth. He wants to get her to safety but she refuses to abandon her search for the women who are still being held captive by the evil Voildi.
I loved this book. Zarix is all kinds of grumpy in the best possible ways, and Beth's fortitude and determination in the face of horrific injuries is inspirational. Plus once she gets hold of a crossbow, things start to get really interesting. Their journey throughout the book is mythic, and when they finally get to raise the alarm about the Voildi's plans, the battle is Lord of the Rings meets Wonder woman, meets Vasquez from Aliens. This book is action-packed, emotional, steamy and a roller-coaster of a ride you won't want to get off. I absolutely loved it!
I loved Zarix and Beth’s alien-human healing romance. The story had the perfect mix of humor, heartwarming love, real life issues, spice, danger, excitement, mistakes, and redemption. Beth is a ballerina from Earth who after being abducted crash lands on Agron, an alien planet, where she was taken by the Voildi who are “bad” aliens. She manages to escape but ends up with her leg in a metal trap. Zarix is a Braxian from the planet Agron who, as a result of his past trauma, spends most of his time alone. He is on a mission to discover what Braxian tribe the Voildi are planning to attack when he finds Beth. He has to continue his mission with Beth in tow since she’s equally determined to help her friends and take down the Voildi. To get to their HEA, Zarix and Beth must deal with their physiological and cultural differences, unpack Zarix’s baggage and deal with an invading Voildi force. Javir was a wonderful and integral addition to the story rather than a flimsy story prop. The story would not have been as rich and well rounded without the full development and inclusion of his character. This story was well written and included witty dialogue, good world building, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline. I am looking forward to reading more in this series.
This book was relatable for me. I love to run, but was injured a few years ago and was forced to stop. I miss it to this day. Beth's worry about losing her ability to dance and her career as well, is both a valid concern and gut-wrenching. However, she comes to grips with her fears and learns to love something more than she does dancing, Zarix, the Braxian who saved her from dying in a hunter's trap. She's then there for him during the siege on a neighboring Braxian camp, when he runs into someone he never expected to see again and he has to fight those he thought of as brothers. This is not the first book of Hope Hart's that I've read and it won't be the last. If you haven't read any of her books, I suggest starting with The Arcav King's Mate which is the Arcav Alien Invasion series or if you want to start with this series you can just start with Taken by the Alien Warrior which is book one of the Warriors of Agron. You can very easily start with Warriors of Agron books without having to read all of the Arcav books first. I'm actually working through the Agron books first myself, but I'm going to go back to the Arcav books and read those as well.
I wasn't expecting Beth's story to be next. Previously we've had Ellie and Nevada's stories, and given Alexis was rescued with them when the abducted humans were separated, and Nevada helped rescue Zoey in the previous story, I thought one of the characters we had spent more time with would come next... but honestly, in every way, this story worked, and felt perfectly timed, in large part because Beth, and her Alien rescuer, Zarix, introduced us to a lot of what is going on between the tribes and species on this planet.
A lot of series do their major world building in the first story, and coast on what they've established, but this series continues to grow and expand out understanding of the world, and it's complexities.
Javir is an adorable highlight of the story, and Beth's career as a ballerina is used beautifully for a don't judge a book by its cover thread, as well as a reminder that strength comes in a variety of forms.
This is a delightful, done in one Kindle Unlimited quick read.
Ellie’s story wasn’t romantic, but I could understand it. Nevada’s felt rushed and a little forced but you saw the characters somewhat grow. I was expecting so much more from this book, thinking that each book was better than the last, but Beth didn’t get to fall in love. She woke up saved by a warrior and was like, ok you will do. I would have preferred the relationship was treated like a friends with benefits growing into more. I don’t buy that she’s really falling for him. I can see how the final battle can bring theM together, but the getting them together feels false.
I did enjoy the final battle. I love the set up for Vrex and Ivy though the timeline seems off. I feel that Beth would have gotten to Dexars camp prior than Alexis. But I can ignore that for the sake of the books. From the set up I think the next book would be the best, willing to try it out but don’t think I’ll make it to the end of the series.
Sentí la intensidad cuando la batalla estaba a punto de comenzar. Me impactó lo atrapada que estaba. Cuando llegaron los Guerreros de Razik y la Guerrera se deslizó por el Mishua, escuché la canción del Llanero Solitario sonando en mi cabeza... ¡Genial!
Y la forma en que Zarix le rogó a Beth que se quedara con él me derritió el corazón. Fue tan humano (o sea, no alienígena).
Tengo una queja sobre esta historia. El libro solo tenía un par de cientos de páginas, así que ojalá el autor le hubiera dado un poco más de coqueteo y insinuaciones sexuales para aumentar la atracción antes de que la pareja se acostara con las pieles. Me pareció apresurado.
Y ahora tenemos a una Guerrera Danzante... Es imposible contener a una chica de la Tierra, no cuando conoce a un Gran Battement... Pasemos al libro 4.

My heart was touched by a gritty and tender love story
I loved the graceful and determined heroine and the honorable blunt hero. The love story was very harsh and intense for all the valuable reasons. I love her characters and realism about their struggles. I smiled and was surprised by plot turns and the heroine choosing to be a fighter and overcome. I love love love this series. Anyone who has lived with the military or who has been in the military will appreciate how real she got the struggles and the good people in it. Like life struggles bring out the best and worst of people. It's a gem.
Give this book 5 out 5 stars. It is best read in order, although each couple has its own book, the overall plot is continued from book to book. I loved reading about Beth ballerina and Zarix the grumpy hunter. I’m liking this series better than the Arcav series which this one spins off from. Love the Barbarians and the tough ladies who mate with them. The women are equally as strong as the men, not in the same way, but others that have just as much merit. Read this series, I have to grab the next one now!
Kindle. Characters background was dropped sporadically and didn’t really add the the story just felt thrown in to try and make character more rounded. Definitely tried to make the relationship something that it wasn’t so quick with barely any interaction for depth. It says it can read as a stand-alone but you feel like you are missing information since I skipped over first two books. It wasn’t exactly good but it was entertaining and mindless that I would probably read another book from this series if I was in the mood.
This story is about Beth, the ballerina and Zarix, the Braxian loner. Beth was part of the group of women that were taken by the Voildi after the ship manned by slavers crashed. The Braxian warriors rescued the women from the Voildi only for three of them to be recaptured by the Voildi. Beth manages to escape again but gets caught in a trap that Zarix rescues her from. As Beth and Zarix sort out their feelings the Voildi are planning a war. This was a good story. I need to continue the series to find out how the other women are rescued.
I discovered Hope Hart through her Arcav series. These books are related and just as good. They are standalone but I think will be more enjoyable if read in order, and there are events mentioned in more than one book. I love alien romances where the women are strong, the guys are alpha but not jerks, and there is humor and great dialogue. Ms. Hart continues to write what I love to read. Thank you.
