Flor's Fiasco

Icehome, Book 17

De: Ruby Dixon

Narrado por: Sean Crisden, Felicity Munroe

I'm not supposed to resonate to him.

It's been a few years since I've landed here on Icehome Beach, and as resonance after resonance dwindled the list of bachelors, I knew who I'd end up with. As soon as we got past our differences, I'd end up as R'jaal's mate.

On an everyday excursion, however, my khui decides otherwise. It sings all right...but not to R'jaal. Instead, I resonate to I'rec—the forceful, brash, overly-alpha leader of Shadow Cat. Did I mention he's got a long-distance girlfriend already?

It's a big mess, and it's about to get messier.

But as things get chaotic on the beach and our way of life is threatened with upheaval, it's the small things that end up mattering. Small things like the way I'rec kisses. Or the way we seem to have a lot more in common than we thought. Or the way I'rec can be gentle, but only with me....

Contains mature themes.

WTF (Why Thwarting F*ursomes!)

Listen, I will never say a bad work against my gurl Ruby, but there was a real good opportunity for some hot group stuff and I would like to gently scold her for not taking advantage of it! Flor + Daisy could’ve absolutely made this happen those women are unstoppable, and everyone can still be straight for a lot of k*nky things sorry you know what this is better as a Reddit post than a review imma go….. 😂🥵😍

Cute Story

I loved their story. There personalities were so cute together and they were funny to me.

What? No man-bun on the cover art?

These growly, lovable aliens are my comfort food. I’rec is gruff and grumpy, but really just a teddy bear. And really, how could anyone be scared of an alien sporting a man-bun and calling gladiators ’tators’?

The first half was pretty standard for this series, with the conflict being that both Flor and I’rec thought they’d resonate with others. Flor’s insecurity about him leaving her once she’s knocked up goes on a bit longer than I’d like. Despite the growly nooky, the naughty parts weren’t anything that we haven’t heard over the last sixteen books. There’s a certain sameness to the sex and the stories … maybe that’s why these are like comfort food; mac-N-cheese may not be gourmet, but it makes me happy.

Luckily, the second half of the story tees up the next spin-off series, giving fresh humans, aliens, and a mystery plot about missing folks. The original series was Ice Planet Barbarians (first six books remain my favorites). This series spun directly off of that one and has some character crossover. The Corsairs and Risdaverse series leave the Not Hoth planet, but are still set in the same universe. The new series teed up here begins with R’Jaal’s Resonance. I liked that book even better than this one, in part because the earlier books in each series tend to have the best plots and couples.

Yes queen!

I love Ruby and I can’t wait for more books, I’ve read all of her Ice Home novels! 💗

One of my new favorites.

How many is too many favorites in a series. This one is one of the fun ones of the series. Which is surprising considering Irek is a very serious character. He needed a lighthearted mate. I also loved that we have more characters to get more books for the future. I just finished Tia’s story and that one is also good, which also surprised me as she had a lot of growing up to do. But not to worry Ruby usually makes my least favorite characters and turns them into a good story.

Another wonderful book by Ruby Dixon. Lots of twist and turns in this episode of ice planet barbarians.

Solid ending

Solid ending to this section of the ice planet. I wish I understood more of Flor’s culture but I’m not sure if it just isn’t started where her superstitions come from or if I just missed it

one of my favorites

I was so looking forward to this story and I wasn't disappointed. Great storyline and the narrators were amazing!! Flor's character is one of my favorite female characters

Another great one

This was a great story. I gotta admit I was worried about the drama level when I heard the preview. But it was great. They leveled everything out. Made a great story out of a triangle drama love. Kind of a triangle or more of a misunderstanding of one.

The main female was a strong one who dealt with situations greatly. I would have done what she did. Handled the mating and walked away without letting them see my pain. The main male was not bad but awful at communicating. So many misunderstandings. But maybe that’s all males. They do make a good couple.

If I had to pick a favorite character out of the series and a worst. Liz would be my fav and Tina would be my worst. Liz is a bad ass and funny as hell. Tina is a nightmare and I know she’s young but she’s not that young. Going on 19 or 20 years old. She’s a child throwing tantrums throughout the series. Probably the main reason she’s never found her mate. Good thing is, she had very little part in this book. Not looking forward to her book.

Author has again done a wonderful job and I have binge listened to her books. I also plan on buying the paperback.
Narrators were again amazing. I’m happy they were chosen to read these stories.
