Barbarian Lover by Ruby Dixon

4.0

I have mixed feelings on this installment. On one hand, I was enjoying the lack of mate bond between them because it felt more natural of a romance. On the other, I’m all for the bonding! The thing I struggled most with is Kira. She turned away from Aehako, who’s nothing but a sweetheart to her because she fears trapping him because she can’t have children, and is scared his bond will awaken with another woman, leaving her alone. Reasonable fears and I’m quite for it. But I found she accepted his words so quickly it was a bit of whiplash. She went from not wanting to trap him, to believing him and loving him in the next. Also, she’s a huge downer character and was a bit eh to read about. Georgie was interesting, exploratory, etc. Liz was hilarious and fiery, making Kira a bit ef after reading about those two.

Still obsessing over this series though and I look forward to Harlow’s book
