Publisher's Summary

For seasons, I have waited for her - my perfect mate.

In a tribe full of happy couples, I am alone. But I am not content to remain this way. There are no eligible unmated females left, so I will do whatever it takes to bring females back to our tribe, even if it means doing something wrong. Even if it means I must purchase my mate on the intergalactic black market. I will do anything to possess her, to claim her as my own.

But will my ruthless move turn my female against me before we ever meet? Can she ever forgive a male that bought her freedom?

Contains mature themes.

Who knew Bek already had a heart?

Again, Dixon is a master of telling an engrossing tale without a lot of major action taking place. She writes believable characters, storylines, and dialogue. Even if it’s with human women and alien males. I know - amazing, isn’t it?
The infamously grouchy Bek gets his story and we find out he’s not that bad, after all. He has no patience with women who cry, but is loved by the kits of his village. Bek’s had to watch in quiet desperation for years as almost all the males of his clan find happiness with their mates. He’s taken matters into his own hands by having the crew of the Tranquil Lady purchase five human women slaves for himself and the remaining bachelors.
Elly has lived in terror for almost 10 years, since she was kidnapped and sold into slavery at 13. She’s done everything she can to avoid being sold again, but is taken with the other human females to this icy new world. But she can breathe freely again; see the sun and stars again, at last. But can she overcome her previous abuse to trust again? To really live again?
And again, gotta say that Lloyd and Jackson are an excellent pairing for narration of this story and the series!

Another awesome Ice Planet romance!

Finally, Beck gets a mate! The only thing is he went about it in a way that really upsets all the human women by buying slaves. The five slaves he bought and had brought to NotHoth by the Captain are not too happy to be on a frozen planet and don’t quite believe they are no longer slaves. One of the women, Ellie, has been a slave for a long time- since she was 13. She doesn’t trust anyone, won’t bathe or eat. When she finally gets her cootie, she is appalled to find herself resonating to Beck, who she’s afraid of. Beck is patient and kind to her and they slowly spend more time together. I like the character of Aryvan the child. I can envision him when he talks! The ending of the book is a happy one for them. Can’t wait for more!
Narration was excellent!

4.5 stars. Slave to love.

This is book 12 in the ICE PLANET BARBARIAN SERIES and while each story stands alone, I recommend they be read in order.

We first read about Bek in the ICE PLANET HOLIDAY novella (only on Kindle at the moment and highly recommended). I was not keen on him as a character, so I did not have high expectations for this novel. But Bek underwent personal growth in BARBARIAN’S REDEMPTION thanks to his interactions with Ellie, and I grew to admire him. He is perfect for Ellie, a former human slave, whose luck changes when she meets surly Bek. Their love story was a surprise, and a joy to listen to.

Audible narrators Hollie Jackson and Mason Lloyd do a wonderful job bringing the characters to life.

This series has been a welcome and unexpected boost to my romance listening enjoyment. Not a dull moment. Where to next?

I recommend this series.

Over an hour in...

and all I can think is when TF is she going to bathe?!?!? I get she covered herself in filth to protect herself from being raped, but she's very clearly not going to be raped by these people and she still keeps herself filthy.

Another hour has passed....She's still fucking filthy. Little kids are telling her she stinks. Her fear and paranoia was completely understandable at first, but now it's just completely irrational. Yes the little cake they're letting their tiny children make and eat is poison. Her paranoia just gets drug out. Just over 3 hours left and I'm hoping it improves. Seriously this chick just needs to bathe! Im just hoping and praying their first sex scene is AFTER she bathes herself.

Not improving just gets worse. Even when circumstances are dire she still doesn't speak. Seriously it's to a point where I don't even feel sorry for her or what she's been through because she's just stupid, paranoid, and irrational.

Next One Please!!!!

I’m loving this series and can’t wait for the next one. This book was a bit different and very good I really liked the characters and the true emotional blend. The narrators make the books come to life they are perfect together. Highly recommend

Love Bek!

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 own, 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.

Powerful

The story was very moving and powerful filled with love in tree a mystery and whether they would or would not I love it can't wait for the next series

The Bek story we’ve been waiting for

Pro: Bek is everything we want him to be and more.

Con: the plot of this particular book was just a little weak for me. Ellie and Bek are adorable together and I love their growth, but there was nothing that kept me super hooked apart from that

say it with me CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

I can remember during kira's story beck didn't understand the doting mature Aehako had with Kira and told him "take her to your furs and SHOW her you are mated." he was always the brash, insensitive, and pushy asshole. But in this you really got to see beck and the way his thoughts and actions change even if he's still grumpy. while the spice is very minimum in this one I really loved it because I'm a sucker for development. once again well done dixon!

Georgie and Vektall suck

Bek has 5 women slaves brought to them. But Bek should have left them all slaves. The tribe forgets that these women where fuckin slaves and going to be sold. He saved them from being slaves any longer. But no one seems to care about that. He took women in a very bad situation and had them brought to a new place free from being slaves The ones who judge are all the happy couples with children, so they think they can judge Bek. But let them themselves be alone. Let's see how they feel then.
