Ice Planet Barbarians Part 1 by Ruby Dixon

I particularly like when Salukh misinterprets some of the common sayings on Earth. There are some really comical parts too, which balance the more serious undertones well.

I like that she created characters who all dealt with trauma, grief, and fear differently. Dixon does a great job of showing how different people deal with trauma. In the author’s notes, Dixon explains that Tiffany is the first protagonist who was a victim of sexual assault by the kidnappers, and her closest friend is as well. She needs time, trust, and patience, and Salukh is one of the few who understand that. Tiffany still has nightmares and is traumatized by what happened to her, and the thought of intimacy terrifies her. I like how Tiffany and Salukh begin as friends before their relationship progresses into something more. He is a kind and respectful male, and he doesn’t chase and pressure her like the others do. This is the fifth book in the Ice Planet Barbarians series, and it’s a steamy, emotional, and entertaining sci-fi romance! Tiffany and Salukh are such amazing characters, and their love story is really powerful.Īfter the sexual abuse she endured when she was first taken, Tiffany doesn’t want to resonate with any male, but she does have a nice friendship with Salukh. And day by day, he’s getting harder to resist.ĭisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links, including Amazon, and I may earn a small commission, at no cost to you, if you purchase through my links.

When it comes to us, he doesn’t just want to be my friend. He’s been a good friend and the best shoulder to cry on. Take what I need from him to work through my trauma. He’s willing to let me “experiment” with him. He knows why I have nightmares and why I don’t trust anyone. Patient, handsome Salukh knows my secrets. Someone who knows the truth of what happened to me and why I don’t like attention. it’d be someone with a gorgeous blue body, big horns, and the most intense gaze ever. But on a planet where women are a scarcity, that won’t be happening.

And they don’t realize that behind my smile, I just wish they’d take their courting presents and their competitions for my affection and go away. The alien men are falling all over themselves to impress me in the hopes that I’ll take them to my furs. It’s hard being the most popular girl on the ice planet. Synopsis: Tiffany doesn’t care about all the attention she’s getting from the alien men, but there is one particular hunter she can see herself with–if only she can find a way to move forward from the past.
