I liked this latest addition to the Ice Planet Barbarians series well enough. It’s not exactly my favourite but I thought that the author dealt with Tiffany’s healing from past sexual assault well. The premise is that Tiffany is one of two unmated human women left on Not-Hoth and she’s also the beauty of the group. This means she has a lot of suitors except she’s not interested because she’s dealing with the trauma of a brutal assault during her alien kidnapping. Enter in Salukh, her friend, who’s secretly in love with her but patient and caring enough to know that she’s nowhere near ready for him and willing to do whatever it takes to help her heal. I didn’t necessarily enjoy the games with the other suitors but I understood why Tiffany felt she couldn’t speak up.

This was one of my faves out of the series so far! Though at times Tiffany frustrated me, I understand that she came from a place of unmeasurable trauma. That being said, the “contest” was a hard plot point to get through haha. It was pretty agonizing. But as usual with these books, I really enjoyed the male lead! And with this book, I thought Tiffany’s backstory was heartbreaking and root-worthy. It was beautiful to see her come into her own.
And holy hell were the sex scenes HOT.
