I think any book that followed Barbarian Love would be hard for me because I loved that book so much. This one ended up being okay, but it wasn't my favorite. I felt like the first half of it was really repetitive of the second book because we had kind of the same setup. For example, Harlow was kidnapped at the end of the previous book, and the beginning of this book backtracked to see what happened through her point of view, just like the second book did with Liz. The similarities continued, but I did like how it tied back into that book through Rukh and Raahosh. It was just a little annoying that it felt so repetitive. However, we got some of the babies in this book! I've been so curious about them, and it was a lot of fun seeing them appear. Plus, I was curious how long they would be pregnant. It turns out they aren't pregnant as long as the alien women are, but they are pregnant longer than a typical Earth pregnancy. We did a time jump a year when they started having kids, and I really want to see Kira and Aehako's baby!

I don't know why, but I love when there's a language barrier that the two have to overcome. This one was even more interesting than usual because Rukh doesn't even know his native language. 

I liked the growth of the characters, but I didn't find the plot very exciting. It was nice change to see a different habitat on the planet, though.

This is another great read in the Ice Planet Barbarians series.

This may be one of the sweetest couples in the series so far. They really go through everything together. They learn how to adapt together. Rukh adapting to having another person around after being alone for so long and Harlow adapting to her new surroundings and having to make a new home from scratch for her, Rukh, and their unborn child.

I love how protective Rukh is of Harlow going so far as to put his own beliefs about the tribe aside and trusting them as much as possible when Harlow needs him to. And I love how Harlow teaches him hiw to talk to her and everything about mating and resonance. 

The ending was great as well. I love that Rukh and Harlow finally get the family that they've always wanted.
