Vogdian Mates #1.5
The Alien Gladiator
Does he want to save me, or take me for his own?
Zelda: My handmaid says that the gladiator kills in my name. He dares to propose marriage. Such audacity! It is unheard of for a slave to seek the hand of an Empress. Yet, he has not lost a single trial by combat. He is a huge specimen… and, I admit, once my secret lover.
Traxan: My Empress is everything to me. My love for her drove me to become an elite warrior and slay enemies in her name. It does not matter that I am a slave; my duty to protect her remains. The rebellion is stronger than anyone knows. When the time comes, I will escape and steal her away to safety.

Again a very good read, the story captivating, the characters interesting but the HEA was a bit to rushed and more a HFN. Sorry but there I lost one star.
The Empress and her Gladiator are loveable and got a delicious history together. Thought in a way it’s a relief and well deserved that they found each other again. But nevertheless I want to know where and how they will find their HEA and what happens with the Empire that they leave behind. „Far away“ is not enough!
Every story in this series is totally different from the other on different planet’s or in space, each approach unique and really intriguing but all in the same universe remotely connected.
I hope at one point in the next few books the author will connect all the points and bring it together and round them off for a brilliant final.

Immersive, and yet...
This is an immersive story that sucked me in to a world far away, but throughout the reading I was trying to figure out why a human woman was in the position she was in, particularly coming from the background mentioned. I feel like I missed some of the backstory that would help the pieces fall together, even as I really enjoyed the bigger picture aspects of what was happening between Zelda and Traxon.

Aunque es un libro corto tiene excelente historia, excelente desarrollo y una escena spicy que wooooow disfrutarán muchísimo.
Una historia de amor que Traxan un vogdian y Zelda una humana dejaron inconclusa muchísimos años atrás y que ahora siendo ella emperatriz de Vogdian y el un gladiador retomarán de la manera más inesperada.
Se lee rapidísimo y se disfruta demasiado.
Lo recomiendo mucho.

Riddled with typos
Riddled with typos and easily fixed mistakes. Contradicts facts established early in the series - no vogdia/human matingss on earth for 100 years, yet the empress mates one male and married another in Arkansas. She also has powerful organisms. Small mistakes but SO many!

Ended to quick
I only find the ending to short. The others had good endings. What happened afterwards would be nice to know.

Disappointed after early promise
This third story is brief, confused, and not up to the standard of the first two books in this series.

It's a great read i wanted it to be longer. I was disappointed it ended so abruptly without a better resolution. Too many loose ends for the book to be finished.

I liked the story but wish there was more. Maybe more flashback to when they first met. I’d also like to know how she came to meet Drasus and how he died.
