Barbarian’s Choice by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Choice by Ruby Dixon

4.5 stars — This was exactly what I needed after the emotional overload that was Ashe and Hemalo’s book.  Not saying that there weren’t emotional moments in this one…but there was also a SHITTON of laughter, and I adored that. Farli is just so naïve and innocent and just a ray of sunshine.  I couldn’t […]

Barbarian’s Hope by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Hope by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — This book was more emotional than I was expecting…which, it really shouldn’t have surprised me given Asha and Hemalo’s history, but still…I definitely cried for them. Asha was an interesting character that I wasn’t expecting to like, b/c, well, she’s kind of a bitch.  And I mean that outside of how she […]

Barbarian’s Heart by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Heart by Ruby Dixon

4.5 stars — This one lived up to its title — there was a lot of heart in it. I seriously ACHED for both Stacey and Pashov.  How strange and trying would it be from both their perspectives?  I honestly can’t imagine, but I could connect with *both* sides.  I will admit, I lost patience […]

Slices of Life by Ruby Dixon

Slices of Life by Ruby Dixon

OVERALL: 4 stars — Usually when I read a set of short stories, they are by different authors so they’re inconsistent.  But these were all unique but great! HAVING THE BARBARIAN’S BABY 4 stars — Okay, Cashol was adorable.  Like, start to finish adorable.  I loved the way he would tease Megan and do everything […]

Barbarian’s Taming by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Taming by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Yay!!  I always love it when a book you’re unsure/wary of turns out better than you expect! I was so worried I wasn’t going to connect with Maddie.  And while yes, it was definitely hard at times, I got to see into the heart of her and really feel for some of […]

Barbarian’s Touch by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Touch by Ruby Dixon

4.5 stars — Well damn, this was just perfect for me. Lila is my kind of heroine — starts out timid and awkward, ends up embracing the challenges and adapting.  I loved the way she came into her own when forced out of the protection of her sister.  She learned what she was made of, […]

Barbarian’s Mate by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Mate by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Honestly, I was super worried because Josie frustrated the crap out of me for the first half of this book.  I didn’t understand her blind spots, I genuinely just didn’t.  First half was 3 stars maybe.  But then she finally got a clue, and the plot picked up and the second half […]

Barbarian’s Prize by Ruby Dixon

Barbarian’s Prize by Ruby Dixon

3.5 stars — Don’t get me wrong, I’m still enjoying the series…but I about lost my patience with Tiffany.  Her struggles felt very drawn out and repetitive.  And something about the way things were resolved…like, I have no experience with that kind of trauma, and I know everyone’s experience is different, but it felt…I don’t […]

Unbroken by Various Authors

Unbroken by Various Authors

OVERALL: 3.5 stars — You know, this was a pretty successful anthology!  I find there are always a few gems (in this case it was Britt and the Bike God, Per Aspera Ad Astra, and A Curse, A Kindness), and then a few that just don’t hit.  In this one, the ones that didn’t hit […]
