Reviews with content warning for Pregnancy - Barbarian Mine

Ehhh I don't know; I think this has been my least favorite so far for some reason. I still enjoyed it, but I feel like the storylines are getting repetitive & not that there's anything wrong with Harlow or Rukh but I just didn't like them quite as well. Could just be that Kira & Aehako's story was a hard one to follow.

Ice Barbarian Tarzan

This Harlow/Rukh pairing is interesting because in some ways it feels like a back step in terms of human/sakh relations. Ruhk is feral left alone since he was a child so does not have any sense of interpersonal relationship skills or communication. Through this perspective the audience learns more about the planet the humans call "Not-Hoth" and survival. The story is again steamy and compelling with more characters that are interesting and individual. The audience continues to get glimpses of little bits of Harlow's past as well as Rukh's and the narration continues to be great. As mentioned before my only gripe is that Hollie in trying to make voices distinct seems to struggle to match emotional inflection, interestingly she does this well for male voices just not the female voices. Mason is excellent as always. The spicy scenes continue to be very spicy and added to the repertoire of Ruby Dixon's variety of scenes pregnancy sex is added to the list. I also appreciate the glimpses of the rapidly changing community that is occurring since the arrival of the group of humans to the Sakh tribe. I continue to devour these audibles at a rapid pace and went to the author's website to follow the reading order and have been listening to the little short honeymoon stories after volume 1, 2, 3, and now 4. The collection of them are also available on audible called Ice Planet Honeymoon. After this volume the next in the reading order is Ice Planet Holiday before going into Barbarian's Prize.

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!
