Bridget’s Bane

Icehome, Book 13

De: Ruby Dixon

Narrado por: Sean Crisden, Felicity Munroe

A'tam is the worst.

Sure, he's the prettiest man on the beach, but he's a terrible listener. I've told him a dozen times that we're not compatible - in so many ways - and he refuses to take no for an answer. He had his chance with me, and he blew it.

But A'tam thinks we should be mates. He thinks he can just woo me enough to change my mind. He thinks that sultry kisses and soft touches are the way to a girl's heart. He thinks that if he shows me that he can be everything I need, I'll just fall right back into his arms and forget the past.

And...sigh.

He might be right.

Because I want him again and I really, really shouldn't.

Contains mature themes.

Bridget is not as bad as I thought . . .

Cause I definitely have been judging from all the previous books. Well sort of. But finally getting her story has definitely helped. Having a light shined directly on her AND A'tam's issues (because he is no saint and I was incredibly pissed at how selfish he's been) has helped.

3.5 stars

So disappointing

I have loved every book in this & the Ice Planet Barbarians series and would easily give them 5 stars, but OH. MY. GOD. Bridget was beyond annoying!

Great addition to the series

I've been waiting for this book to hit Audible since the last one. I have skipped over a few of the early books (with no impact to following along), but have been hooked on all the new clans stories and this one did not disappoint. It was wonderful of Ruby Dixon to pull in the importance of communication and how couples therapy can help. Really enjoyable story with great narration as usual.

Eh.

Like both need communication 101. Many people are afraid to be vulnerable and others are too stubborn to understsnd. But let’s not be so dismissive about their first sexual experience. In previous books there was plenty of role play and preparation between couples, this was painful and gross . Yes, women do give birth but the body prepare it doesn’t just rip open! We know that forceful PIV causes trauma, otherwise SA victims wouldn’t get a SA kit\investigation for evidence.

good FREE read, but

love the series as a whole... but this one book, not so much. I'll still give the next one a try.

👹 “A’tam!” 👹

You can come back and laugh at this comment later, if you get that far, I had to fast forward through a lot of slowness in the story.

Very real

at the beginning I didn't get the h but with the story you can see snd understand her fears and why the relationship is the way it is.
I like it is teal human emotion. I recommend to read it.

Trigger Warning

This story is FABULOUS as all of Ruby's stories are! i just want to give one warning. ig you are in a relationship and your partner has communication issues... this book is gonna cause some fights! I NEVER thought I'd identify with BRIDGETTE of all people but HOLY SHIT did her and Attam have me FIGHTING WITH MY HUSBAND because he does the SAME SHIT! SO YEAH, if you have communication issues be prepared... otherwise this was another Jewel in the crown that is Icehome! love you Ruby!

Can someone PLEASE help out the narrators with their pronunciations?!

I’ve been trying to hear past the way that these narrators pronounce khui and sakh-khui differently than the narrators of the original IPB series, but come on Felicity! How are you narrating audiobooks and pronouncing a common English word (cliques) wrong?! I was drifting off to sleep listening, and her mispronunciation jerked me awake!

Annoying characters

I found both of these characters annoying beyond belief. I understand trauma can do funny things to people but this just got annoying after awhile
