A review by thindbooks
Barbarian's Taming by Ruby Dixon

4.0

This story follows Hassen who is exiled after stealing Maddie’s sister and Maddie who is doesn’t fit right in with the group. I have to say that I enjoyed this new approach to the story. This is a friends-with-benefits type of story without the mating thing happening in the beginning. I enjoyed the storyline and seeing two people lonely finding a way to each other. There were so many learning moments for both of these characters and I was here for it. There are new conflicts and a plot twist toward the end and I’m excited to see how it goes in the future books. 

 

Maddie is the FMC who is plus-sized and doesn’t fit well in the group. I loved how brave she was and found a way to make her happy no matter how hard it was. Then we have Hassan who’s exiled but learned his lesson. There are many side characters in this book throughout the story and new babies coming into the world. For the romance. I have to say that they aren’t my favorite couple out there. I  hated how long the friends-with-benefits and the cold shoulders throughout the book. 

 

The ending was well done and I love how this world is about to change. I’m excited to see how Dixon takes on this story so I can’t wait for book 9.
