Who knew I’d love Warrek so much? I mean, I should have since I ended up loving (almost) all of the MMCs so far. It’s adorable how tongue-tied he gets while in his head he is romantic and strong and smart and witty. Thankfully, these attributes do come out eventually once he loosens up a bit more around Summer. And Summer, who is used to being looked over and is a chatterbox, somehow understands Warrek in a way nobody else ever has.

These two are so good for each other and learn to work together so seamlessly. There are a lot of upsetting things happening in this story. Strangers come to the planet and they aren’t so friendly. Fortunately, they are stuck which gives Warrek and Summer time to rescue their friends. Along the way, they find a deep respect for each other and realize their attraction isn’t one-sided.

This story not only has a fantastic love connection, but it also grows the community once again. This is good since we are, once again, running out of single people to pair up. But it will have its complications since more people means more resources are needed. Somehow, this author always finds a way to expand the Ice Planet world in an engaging and believable way.
