Resumen del Editor

You'd think a tall woman would fit in on a planet of seven-foot-tall aliens, but even on the ice planet, I'm still a weirdo and an oddity. I'm everything all the other cute, dainty human women aren't.

One guy in particular - the alien Harrec - is determined to embarrass me by pretending he's interested. He's a jokester that flirts like mad and hits on me constantly just to make me feel foolish. He gets under my skin. He makes me so frustrated I want to scream.

When a side-trip to a glacier turns into a nightmare and the two of us are forced to survive alone, I see another side to the enticing blue alien. Even with no one else around, his compliments keep coming and I start wondering if the attraction between us...is real.

Contains mature themes.

This one was adorable!

I was giggling & blushing through this whole audiobook. It's my favorite of the series so far!

This book is what "Tall Girl" thought it was

This book is what Netflix's "Tall Girl" thought it was. Kate is a tall woman who is athletic and strong, with white-blond hair and porcelain skin. She's a badass nordic queen and I live for her. I enjoyed hearing about her insecurity about her height/size. I am five foot two, so I cannot relate, but it's always fun to read a character who is so different from me who had new experiences I can try to empathize with.

Harrec (excuse any misspellings) CRACKED ME UP. The way he describes Kate is so funny to me, because with his lack of knowledge of Kate's insecurity as a tall human woman, his compliments were over the top and so wild that Kate took them as insults, as would literally any other human women. As the reader, we obviously know it's all a big misunderstanding, and knowing his outrageous compliments are actually genuine, is hysterical. This guy has all the confidence in the world with 0 game, and that makes for a very entertaining character. I loved the back and forth between him and Kate, I loved how they could be so harsh and direct with each other but be able to brush it off because of their report with one another. They communicated so comfortably in awkward situations because they were able to bring humor to those moments which I really liked.

One thing that I'm not a huge fan of among most of these books, is the amount of virgins. I love how representative the characters are of different races, personalities, physical body types, career paths, and experiences the books are, but there are a surprising amount of adult women who are virgins, and if they are supposed to look anything like the women on the covers of the books, they aren't hard to look at. The fact that the women are virgins aren't even that big of a deal and I wouldn't mind it at all if Dixon hadn't taken so many liberties writing the sex scenes. I think what takes me out of it is how the reality of losing ones virginity as a human female is not at all in line with what happens in the books. Theres a surprising lack of blood, discomfort, and pain, which is especially surprising given the description of the Sok-Qui "junk". What I love about these books is the way the human experience is seen through new eyes and how the differences between the Sok and the Humans are highlighted. With such a focus on sexuality and sex, I'm surprised by the liberties taken by Dixon when it comes to describing the loss of one's virginity. I'm not sure I understand the purpose of pointing out that these women are virgins, if the loss of the virginity isn't accurately described. If the sex is just like that of the non-virgin women, what was the point in making them virgins? Maybe Dixon just wants to highlight the first time experience the women are having versus the physical toll it takes on their bodies, but idk, with the amount of accurate details that she's taken the time to add in, it seems like this wouldn't be a huge deal to include.

I'm being picky :) The sex scenes are always super hot and fun to listen to and I have not gotten tired of them yet! Perhaps I'm a bit more nit picky and I notice more stuff 13 books in, but that hasn't stopped me from reading books 14+.

If you've made it this far in the series, you will love book 13!

I love this series

I am in love with this whole series but I’m a little afraid that this book will be forgettable among the past and future stories. There wasn’t much to it that made it stand out.

It was still a good story, but now that it’s over I’m sitting here trying to remember it.

funny / ligera

Graciosa y ligera, la historia de dos personas que sienten atracción y desarrollan una relacion.

great read

loved the commentary between the two main characters, made it hard to stop laughing out loud.

OK story

This book was different in that both main characters were virgins. There were plenty of funny moments. I found myself laughing out loud on a plane at some of the things there heroine said or thought. The h really made the H work for it and he was very patient with her. The pace of this book is a little slower than some of Ms Dixon's other books in the series but was still good. As always, Hollie Jackson and Mason Lloyd did an awesome job with the narration.

Another cute addition to the series

This one falls in the middle of the road for me, but not a bad outing.

Honestly, always a guilty pleasure.

Since I am now well past into the series, it's obvious that Ice Planet Barbarians is a favourite guilty pleasure of mine.
It's not original or groundbreaking anymore, but I still find myself listening and loving each and every couple, this one included.

Kate and Harrec.

Somehow all the females feel like they are freaks somehow or another and Kates hang up is how tall she is, but luckily, she finds a big blue hunk taller than her (although that should not matter with love.) Another smexy story and sweet love story. To me the series feels like a big, long book, just from different points of views, so I recommend reading in order, Icehome series will begin I think after Barbarian’s Tease, even if I have read some from that series already. Narrators are excellent.

A favorite in the series

I loved book 4, but this one is great too. I was getting bored, but the last one and this one are getting things back on track!
