Researcher Kyra Dannick of the Protectorate of Terra was on
her way to the legendary planet of Admar, when her spaceship
was hijacked. Kyra woke from her stasis in captivity and ended
up on Arena Station, where she joined the ranks of
gladiator/slaves who were forced to fight in the Arena for the
bloodthirsty crowds. One day, she was chosen by the slavers
for a special “duty,” that of sexually servicing a male
gladiator of an alien species, who was in the throes of the
mating fever. Without a choice, Kyra was forced to comply, but
Tiergar wasn’t the wild animal she expected--and the outcome
of their encounter was surprising to both of them.
I really enjoyed this book. Author Viola Grace skillfully
combines science fiction and erotica in a short novel that
sizzles. The author’s prose is clean and straightforward,
yet descriptive and emotional as well. The science fiction
plot is well-crafted, and the romance is seamlessly integrated
into the whole. The love scenes are very erotic and
emotionally rewarding. Best of all, this is the first of a
series called Champions of Terra, so we will soon be
treated to more excellent SF stories!

Arena Station
After much research, Kyra Dannick, a human female, has rediscovered the
lost planet of Admar. On her way to the planet to verify her findings,
her stasis chamber is hijacked. She takes exception to being pawed by
three strangers when she awakens, defends herself, and is sold off to
the Arena.
On his way to an important meeting, Tiergar, an Azon male, is captured
and brought to the Arena. The Azons are a rare, cat-like species. He
more than keeps spectators happy. Kyra has shown herself to be a
ferocious combatant and hopes to earn enough money to ensure her escape.
When she is deemed to be a physical match with Tiergar, who has come
into rut, she is prepared for a 'date' with him.
What she perceives in advance will be a most unpleasant experience turns
into something she could never have dreamed when she meets and mates
with Tiergar. The two of them prove to be more than compatible as
emotions and passions rise and flare hot and heavy between them. Kyra
and Tiergar are fighters who come together by design and meld into a
stronger unit. I won't tell you how they are rescued, only that it is
clever and made me smile.
A mix of danger, humor, and interesting places, the story is packed with
action. The writing is smooth and fast-paced, and the characters are
perfection. ARENA STATION is a delightful, completely satisfying read. I
will read it again.
