Barbarian Lover (Ice Planet Barbarians)

The third novel in the Ice Planet Barbarians series, an international publishing phenomenon—now in a special print edition with bonus materials and an exclusive epilogue!

Kira plans on remaining single on this alien planet—she doesn’t want a mate anyway. At least, that’s what she tells herself. But when Aehako comes along, everything changes. . . .


As one of the humans stranded on the ice planet, I should be happy that I have a new home. Human women are treasured here, and one alien in particular has made it clear that he’s interested in me. It’s hard to push away the sexy, flirtatious Aehako when I long to grab him by his horns and insist he take me to his furs.

But I’ve got a terrible secret—a few of them, actually. I’m convinced that Aehako can never love me if he knows the full truth. More worryingly, the aliens who abducted me are back, and thanks to the translator in my ear, they can find me. My presence here endangers everyone . . . but can I give up my new life and the man I desire more than anything? And will he even want me if he knows my secrets?

I finished Barbarian Lover last night, and I’m still thoroughly enjoying my quick, playful escapes into NotHoth. This story hit differently, though. I connected deeply with our FMC as she grappled with the fear of sharing her infertility. It’s a terrifying kind of vulnerability—to reveal something so personal, especially to a group whose entire race teeters on extinction.

While my own infertility was a choice, I still understand that fear—the hesitation, the worry about rejection, the feeling of being “other.” Of course, in the land of sexy blue aliens who worship at the weak feet of human females, everything is fixable. Three cheers for heartworms and happily-ever-afters among the stars.

As long as you go into the book knowing what it’s meant to be, it’s great! And fun!

This might be my most favorite that I have read in the series.
I love the dynamic, shy girl and popular/flirtatious alien boy lol
She is keeping a secret which keeps her from resonating with him. He is set on making her, his.
Their love story truly made me swoon the most in all three books.
I also love the nice chunk of history we get in this book
There is sooo much more background history that it alleviated some of my underlying questions. I feel way more confident in the setting of this story after reading Barbarian Lover.

Truly enjoyed this read!
