In Barbarian Prize, we get to focus on Tiffany and Salukh as they try to navigate how to be together. We quickly learn that Tiffany is one of the last two human women who have not resonated. She had an extremely horrific time when she was on the green alien spaceship. All of the males have been hounding her, and it's been really weighing on her. She's scared that they will ultimately treat her as an object since they never try to just talk to her until Salukh. She mentions all the time throughout the book that if she was ever going to resonate, she really hoped it would be him since he is the only one that actually makes her feel cared about. It was fun to see her story play out since we followed the same formula that Kira's story did because she and Aehako didn't resonate right away, either. That is my favorite book in the series. This one is honestly tied for my favorite of the series now because I just really loved Tiffany's story. Both Tiffany and Kira had really strong storylines, and I really want to see if there are any others out there that have something similar. We are out of human women, too, so that means none of the others will have the background with the green aliens. I'm curious to know if they ever come back or if something even more tragic will happen to this tribe now that they are just starting to really rebuild.

I really think that so far in the series, Tiffany has had one of the most compelling stories, and that this stands out. I also think that as a character, Salukh is both an ideal friend and partner to her and holds his love for her quietly and patiently until he know she might feel the same and be ready to see if they might have something.
Overall, this was very cute and dealt with heavier topics than the previous novels but that worked very well in their favor.

SA/Rape happens prior to book, but is very important to the character's journey and progression into a new relationship. Infertility and pregnancy both relate to the lives of side characters discussed throughout the book.courtknee29's review against another edition

I like the story in this one, Tiffany healing and Sash just being patient and loving and kind and just her friend when she needed it. Like wow. What a man. Sometimes I’m like lol they’re books about blue aliens but other times I’m like fuck I wanna be loved like that Sakui love their girls… ya know? Anyways. Very hot stuff. Might mess around and read the other paperbacks I have of it or read the next one on KU? Ou that’s an idea.

Absolutely loved Tiffany and Salukh's story. He was so sweet and patient with her. They were absolutely adorable. Not as much spicy stuff as I would like, but definitely spicy 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 The ending was delightful, can't wait to read Barbarian's Mate!

Slowly continuing my IPB series journey, this one was fine, nothing super mind blowing but an easy relaxing read nonetheless.
Barbarian’s Prize follows Tiffany and Salukh. As one of the last two remaining humans not resonating and living with PTSD from her time on the bad aliens’ ship, Tiffany just wants to be left alone to work on her farming skills. Her days are not easy with all the attention, until Josie suggests the barbarians compete for a chance to escort Tiffany to the other cave. At that point, Tiffany and Salukh have formed a friendship, even though they didn’t resonate, he feels in his heart that she is his mate.
What I liked about this the most is when Salukh is talking to his khui (cootie) asking it to resonate, it was adorable! Even though Tiffany’s trauma is very real I thought Ruby did a good job representing the good and bad days. I also loved the setup for Josie and Haeden, it’s gonna have an enemies to lovers trope just based on their interactions, can’t wait!
Giving this 3 Stars!
