This book made me go like “OH???” the whole time. I’m not a fan of smut but I did not completely hate it here. I’m not sure why because the concept of human-alien relationships is so weird to me. It must stem from the fact that the storyline got me hooked.

I know which book won't be competing for a place on my list of top blue barbarians.

It all made sense by the end, and was critical to the MMC's growth, but the kidnapping followed by the FMC just giving up on getting back to save the injured pair of blue males, choosing instead they must have died in a matter of hours (when they had at least a day's journey to get back to the healer to begin with) was aggravating. I didn't feel the MMC ever earned her trust and it grated on my view of their relationship.

But, as usual, Dixon does a great job of tying everything neatly together by the end, and the story was cozy and sweet overall. I think this will be a story that will resonate with certain people, but I am not one of the chosen.

This one was really fun and I like how there’s a lot of differences between this one and books books one to three. I like that we got to see another side to these aliens, someone who lives outside of the tribe and learn a little bit of the history. Of course, the romance and the smut was enjoyable, which let’s be honest is the main reason why we all read these books!

Definitely not my favorite in the series so far but I did like the change in pacing and timeline with this one. Harlow was not as much of an intelligent badass like she was portrayed in Kira's story, which made me a little more disappointed. As usual I couldn't wait to turn the page and see what was in store for the next chapter!

One of my favourites from the series. Rukh is sweet, Harlow is strong and consistently optimistic. The drama near the end felt a little fabricated, but I don't mind.
