The next novel in the international publishing phenomenon the Ice Planet Barbarians series, now in a special print edition with a bonus original novella! 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. . . . It’s hard being the most popular girl on the ice planet. The alien men are falling all over themselves to impress me in the hopes that I’ll take them to my furs. But they don’t know my secrets. 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. I want to be left alone. But on a planet where women are a scarcity, that won’t be happening. If I had to choose a mate . . . it’d be someone with a gorgeous blue body, big horns, and the most intense gaze ever. Someone who knows the truth of what happened to me and why I don’t like attention. Patient, handsome Salukh knows my secrets. He knows why I have nightmares and why I don’t trust anyone. He’s willing to let me “experiment” with him. I can use him. Take what I need from him to work through my trauma. He’s been a good friend and the best shoulder to cry on. There’s one small problem. When it comes to us, he doesn’t just want to be my friend. He wants to be my forever. And day by day, he’s getting harder to resist. . . .

Loved Tiffany's story!
I loved Tiffany and Salukh together! I thought their cave sessions for “gathering herbs” were sweet and steamy. I loved how attentive Salukh was as Tiffany worked to overcome the trauma of the aliens that abducted her. That sounds heavy and it is but the story doesn't dwell on this. Loved the ending and I was thrilled to see my suspicions confirmed about Josie's potential mate.
I was in the mood for some fun, light, sexy reading with aliens

Tiffany and Salukh are one of my favorite couples. Salukh is one of my absolute favorite aliens.
This is definitely a 5 star book but I left it at 4 because I need non BIPOC authors to stop calling curly hair wild. It's not cute. It's origins are rooted in racism. Authors miraculously find a dozen other words to describe straight hair and they are never negative. Dig deep. Dig deeper.
A slightly stale installment of IPB. It still fed me some easy dopamine but was not my fav. & still, I'm not ready to put this series to bed just yet...
