“Bek, I never had a home before I got here. I was never safe. You are my home. You are my safe. I’m with you forever.” – 80% Barbarian’s Redemption
Barbarian’s Redemption is book twelve in the Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon.
Dixon did well in her redemption of Bek, who has been a jerk in the past. And now we get to see inside his head. See his grumpy jerky self and see that there is more to him.
It’s been eight years since the first humans arrived on the ice planet. Bek is still mateless and he’s desperate. He does the unthinkable and asks the visitors to their planet to bring back five human females, but what he doesn’t know is that the only human females available are the ones you can buy on the slave market. Things don’t go as planned for Bek and he finds himself ostracized from his tribe.
The pure and innocent sa-khui do not understand the concept of slavery. These five women who are brought to this ice planet have been in slavery for many years and are traumatized. When they meet these big blue horned aliens they don’t feel safe. They feel like they will suffer again.
As always we have some issues to resolve. We see Ellie has some major defense mechanisms to cope with her abuse. It’s understandable, but did; become a bit old. We see Bek change his tune and his jerky self; becomes sweet. All around their romance was agreeable.
Barbarian’s Redemption was another entertaining and adorable read in the Ice Planet Barbarians series.
Rated: 4 Stars
Bek what have you done? Oh lord is this alien going to be in deep doodoo! So he is one of the five unmated males. So what did he do? He struck up a deal to have 5 humans brought back to the ice planet. The humans have their freedom bought but they have no idea that they have freedom. They need to get their khui’s and Bek needs to tell Vektal what he did. Does Bek resonate to someone. Yes he does. To Elly and she is a wild one. Not like in wild and out there more like wild as in her appearance and the trauma she has been through. Elly has been enslaved for many years and she does not trust easy. She has a hard time adjusting and it seems as though Bek is very protective of her. He sees something in her. She is fierce but she puts her life in jeopardy because she does not eat or drink. Bek sees this and takes matter in his own hands. Since Bek is dealing with his punishment, he still wants to be there for her. Can he help her overcome her issues? Will she be able to get through to Bek to make him see what he did was wrong even though he had good intentions. This one will punch you in the heart but it is still a great story.
Love all of Ruby’s book
Barbarian’s Redemption (Ice Planet Barbarians) by Ruby Dixon is a sci fi erotica romance story. In this book Bek finally gets his resonate but now he is shunned from the tribe for breaking the rules. So now he is without both his tribe and his mate. Elly is a survivor, but she has been through hell and back being traded from one alien master to another. Her safety net is to keep herself hidden under layers of dirt and filth. Bek who is normally the rough and tumble of the tribe now has to put that all aside and try to win his mate with tenderness and caution.
I love this very entertaining story. The characters are interesting and well developed.
Bek lives on an ice planet in a tribe mostly made up of couples. He wants a mate and a family of his one, but there aren’t any unmated adult females. Bek decides that he will do whatever it takes to have a mate. Even if it means he has to buy females from the intergalactic black market. Bek will do anything to make her his.
This story had me so torn. Part of me wanted to yell at the humans that Bek did a good thing by having them brought to the ice planet (better than what 2 of the women had already had to endure) and it’s not like he had them kidnapped from Earth to be mates. The other part of me was sad but also happy that Ellie was able to teach Bek about how slavery is wrong. I really loved how Ellie started to come out of her shell. Bek needed a great story and a great mate and this was exactly that! I recommend reading this book or listening to it. I own a copy of this book as both an ebook and an audible book.
I finished this book in one sitting!!! I wasn’t sure how I was going to like Bek after everything he has done in this series but I ended up falling in Love with him!!!! Bek and Elly have my heart!!! They are so special and unique in their own ways!!! Bek just wants a mate and even though he goes about it the wrong way when he finally finds her he is the best mate!!! Oh my gosh!! He has so much character growth after meeting Elly it was amazing!! Elly is such an interesting and amazing character!!! I could feel everything she was feeling!! She is scared but she never stops fighting!!!! Getting to watch her become less scared become who she is truly meant to be was EVERYTHING!!! Her back story is awful and I wanted to cry for her but she made it and she is so much stronger for it!! Elly and Bek are truly made for each other. They help each other grow!!! I love these two and their story so freaking much!!! It was Wonderful!!! I will definitely be reading this story again!!!
Excellent, and a-freaking-mazing installment of the Ice Planet Barbarian series! This is one of the best ones yet! I loved Bek and Elly’s story. Awesome, romantic and hot!
I enjoyed Bek and Elly’s story a lot. Elly was kidnapped from her home planet at a young age and degraded both emotionally and physically, so she trusts no one. Bek wants to find his mate and even if he goes about it in the wrong way, he’s done what he thinks is right not only for himself but also for the males in his tribe. Their journey is one that is steamy and also requires a lot of patience but it’s definitely worth reading and I look forward to the next book in this series.
Awwww Bek gets an HEA! He so needed this. I loved being able to see a whole new side to surly, grumpy Bek as he resonates and falls in love. He may have been an ass to Claire, but he is gentle, patient and loving with Elly. And seriously, the way the kids flock to him… my heart! There was just something about this one that really touched me.
