Barbarian Alien by Ruby Dixon

4.0

4 Stars

Continuing the saga of several women who find themselves rescued by a benevolent alien tribe who are having their own procreation issues, this 2nd installment follows Liz who’s quite the character.

Liz’s decisions for her life have abruptly been taken away from her. First she was abducted for nefarious means and though technically saved, she’s now told she has to have some worm-like creature placed in her in order to survive the toxic atmosphere of the primitive ice planet she’s stuck on. Liz has had it up to here, and she refuses to accept this symbiont, willing to die on her own terms. However, that choice is taken away from her as alien Raahosh forces the symbiont on her as he feels the pull of her being his mate.

The anger and the struggles Liz goes through are totally valid, and her internal dialogue was apt, sarcastic, and spot on. She is the perfectly outrageous, loud, brash personality that complements Raahosh’s quiet broody grumpy (and virgin) self.

If you like your male MC as the classic scarred hero who’s been beat down in life, who knows he’s not the pretty charming guy like his fellow brethren and his only prospect was being forever alone, then this is the one for you.

Dixon delivers the emotions of insecurity and doubt while showcasing how Liz and Raahosh clash and come together. This was both touching and highly entertaining especially regarding the language barrier, where I lost count how many times I laughed and smiled. Reassuringly, this was still smutty, and dare I say even dirtier than the first.

Highly enjoyable erotic MF alien mate trope! I foresee myself indulging in this series to the very end!
