This is one of my favorite Ice Planet Barbarian books. Salukh is so kind and observant and caring. He truly wants to be with Tiffany because she’s Tiffany, and not just because he wants a mate, any mate, or because he wants the “prize” of winning the prettiest girl as his partner. I really felt for Tiffany as the recipient of unwanted male attention that everyone else felt she should find flattering, when in fact it scares her to death, and for good reason. Readers should know going in that Tiffany is struggling with the trauma of sexual assault at the hands of the aliens who kidnapped her. She has nightmares about that event, and while the attack is not depicted in explicit detail it may be triggering for some people.

I always start my reviews with ‘I really enjoyed this!’ But it’s just honest lol. Reading about her past sexual abuse was difficult and the resulting ptsd but I love how gentle her mate was to her and I love how their love story progressed and I loved this HEA so much and also the couple of Josie POVs setting up for the next book 😃
