About this audiobook
As a newcomer to the alien tribe, I've struggled to find my place. It might be because I'm a tad headstrong at times. And yes, I might have thrown a few things at people's heads. But I had a good reason to pitch a fit-my shy sister was stolen away right under my nose. Of course, now she's back and mated. Everyone's happy . . . except me.
I need . . . affection. Attention. Okay, I'm lonely. Really lonely.
Strangely enough, the only person that I think understands what I'm going through is the same blue-skinned brute that stole my sister. It's wrong to hook up with him, even as a mindless fling.
Except . . . I'm not so good with the whole "rules" thing.
And he's not so great with the "fling" thing.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5At the beginning Maddy was really annoying, selfish and opinionated and it was enough for me to stop listening. I like how the story was being told, toward the end her character mellowed a lot. I think feeling alone and not the center of her sister's was cause. Thank goodness she got laid a lot and found someone who was just like her (Hassan).

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good story - really delightful. Two different types from the norm in their community find one another, adventure, and build a life together - with hot sex of course!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5OMG, I literally teared up during this one! At first I didn't like Maddy - I don't really like bossy, pushy people - but I loved the story line! I cannot wait to read the next one...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this series. It's sweet, with stakes, but not too high. And there is subtle world building happening. I love this. I can't wait to see what is next for the tribe.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This one took me by surprise! I was so sure I wouldn't like Maddie but now she's one of my favprite POVs from the series. I wish we had more from her ???. Character development ftw!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5WHOA! WHAT A PLOT TWIST! I was PANICKED! Late night for me because I could NOT wait until tomorrow to finish it!! The game has CHANGED in this book!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5All the books are good so far but this one was better than most.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5By far my favorite so far (though I haven’t listened to the novellas).
Maddie and Georgie are the only two women who’ve haven’t completely ignored resonance. I’m a little sick of all the women pushing it off, saying they aren’t “choosing” and have no free will. It’s old. So it’s nice to see Maddie just be a normal woman. I would’ve liked to hear more about her not wanting to be a mother, but it’s a baby making trope... so I guess I can’t expect too much.
*spoilers*
Im far into the series now. They’re finally exploring the island more. There’s no one left to resonate. I’m curious to see where this book series goes! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent storyline, i didnt expect the twist at the beginning. The only criticism i have of this Barbarian series is that the males all seem copycat of oneanother when it comes to sex. They lick (never suck or tug or graze their teeth on the skin etc) I feel like the descriptions could be so different feom oneanother, every man/woman has different things he likes. I just feel like if youre gonna be graphic about it, then be creative too. But the stories are enjoyable
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I like the book but it skips a lot one minute she’s saying by to her sister 2 seconds later she had sex and she’s already prego there was a lot that skipped
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What I came here for: alien porn. What I got: a devastating natural disaster and underground Skara Brae with plumbing. Seriously Ms Dixon, excellent writing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Yes for the book with the Big Girl!
Cause big girls need love too! Think I related to this one the most because I am sooooooooo out of shape, I HATE the cold and I can't imagine life without toilets! ??? Maddie is basically me . . . except I'm older and black ??♀️
4.5 stars - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This one was the best so far. I have thought this already before but honestly, this was different from the others. I really love these two.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was one of my favorite books in the series!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5One of the worst in the series so far. The main female is obnoxious. She's rude to everyone. She can't be happy that her sister is happy and her only character motivation is being bored. She's awful!
And he's desperate. Happy to be taken advantage of. not mentally or emotionally mature. Ick
Im glad they put the two worst characters together. They deserve each other.
I think this one may have broken my interest in continuing to read these books, but the major discovery at the end has me curious.
