Ice Planet Barbarians

Ruby Dixon

★★★★4/5

💕 Georgie & Vektal

The book that started the phenomenon. Georgie Carruthers thought being abducted by aliens was the worst thing that could happen to her. She was wrong. When the ship has engine trouble, her captors abandon her and the other human women on an ice planet. With no resources and no idea where they are, Georgie heads out to find help. There she meets Vektal, a tall, blue, horned alien who introduces himself in a rather... startling way. He says she's his fated mate, and that his chest purrs because of her presence. Vektal will help her survive, but Georgie has a new problem: she needs him to live, and he has no intention of letting her go.

Barbarian Alien

★★★★4/5

💕 Liz & Raahosh

Liz Cramer swears she'll find a way to escape the ice planet she's stranded on. But when she meets Raahosh, a bad-tempered alien who never leaves her alone, she's not so sure she wants to leave anymore. Her khui (the symbiont keeping her alive) thinks Raahosh is her fated mate, and he wholeheartedly agrees. So much so that he kidnaps her from the tribe to claim her as his own. Feisty, loudmouthed and impossible, Liz discovers Raahosh may be the grumpiest man on the planet... and still, the only one her body responds to. One of the fandom's favorite stories.

Barbarian Lover

Ruby Dixon

★★★3/5

💕 Kira & Aehako

Kira has a secret that's eating her alive: the aliens who abducted her implanted a translator in her ear, and now, thanks to that same device, they can find her. She has to distance herself from the tribe to protect them, even if it means dooming herself. Aehako is the most charming, flirtatious sa-khui in the tribe. He's decided Kira is his, and he won't let her wander a single step without him. With him by her side, resonance is impossible to deny. And protecting his mate becomes his only mission. An adorable cinnamon roll hero and a heroine who learns to trust again.

Barbarian Mine

Ruby Dixon

★★★★4.5/5

💕 Harlow & Rukh

Harlow has accepted her new life on the ice planet. No cheeseburgers, but she's healthy and ready to be a productive member of the tribe. What she didn't anticipate: a wild stranger watching her. When he captures her, the impossible happens: she resonates to him. Rukh is a barbarian in the most literal sense: he grew up isolated, doesn't speak, and expresses his devotion through clubbing her over the head and possessive acts. Resonance means mating and children, but Harlow isn't sure who this feral man who just claimed her really is. A dark, devotedly obsessive feral hero. One of the fandom's most intense stories.

Being the most popular girl on the ice planet is exhausting. All the sa-khui fall over themselves trying to impress Tiffany in hopes she'll take them to her furs. But none of them know her secrets, and they don't realize that behind her smile, she just wishes they'd go away. She doesn't want them. She wants someone else: someone with a gorgeous blue body, big horns and the most intense gaze she's ever seen. Salukh is the only one who knows the truth. Maybe with him she can work through her fears from the past... but she's pretty sure he wants more than friendship. He wants forever, and she's not sure she can give it. A deeply loved emotional healing story.

Barbarian's Mate

Ruby Dixon

★★★★★5/5

💕 Josie & Haeden

Josie is the tribe's official sunshine: always smiling, always optimistic, always ready to make friends. Haeden is the complete opposite: grumpy, silent, with an emotional wall the size of the planet. When they resonate, no one is prepared, least of all him. Haeden has reasons to close himself off from love: he lost his first fated mate before ever really knowing her, and he won't risk feeling again. But Josie won't accept rejection, and he'll discover her sunshine is impossible to resist. Grumpy x sunshine in its purest form.
