A Sci-Fi Alien Romance (Ice Planet Barbarians Book 18)

One and a half babies later we finely get Arianna's story. While her mates away, and a million months pregnant Arianna can't stop worrying about anything and everything that could go wrong. So while she can't sleep she tries to concentrate on how her family came to be.

Being someone who deals with anxiety myself, I loved reading Ariana's story. When you don't have any close friends who have anxiety issues sometimes you feel like you are going through it alone and that you just might not survive the next panic attack. Ariana's story made me feel like I was walking right alongside her just putting one foot in front of the other. Thank you!

There's something extra special about this story. What would life be like without daily medication for anxiety and panic attacks? As someone who suffers from daily anxiety, I loved how Ruby wrote about it and the characters reacting to it. What an original and wonderful plot device.

Ariana has been a background figure that seems timid and cries, despite having quickly found a mate. Turns out she suffers from panic attacks, as we learn in her story. Is she timid and weak or brave and strong?

Ruby Dixon has shown how powerful an ordinary heroine can be. With her quite strength, Arianna is someone that anyone can relate to. She is my new superhero. Zolaya is perfect for her. Those cooties sure make great matchmakers.

Because really, don’t we all have issues? Some more visible than others. A heroine with mental issues, yay!

It was a good story and Zo was the right man for her. As her cootie obviously knew.

A nice story.

Ok. Each book becomes my favorite. But as a fellow sufferer of anxiety Ariana is really my favorite. I love her friendship with Marlene. I love Zolaya. There is never a more empathetic mate. And Analay is the best kit.

The rewind on the story helps explain what the dynamic was with these two am create a better understanding of the situation. The love grew by trying to share her fears and the comfort he provided with out pressure.

You might think after 18 books they would start to get old and boring but that's not true with this series. I absolutely love every single bio and the spin off series. Each heroine is different and will win a piece of your heart. Even the ones you don't think you will like. You get a look at who they are and why they are the way they are. This book was no different. It deals with a topic that is very close to my heart and reminded me that I am strong no matter what type of situation I'm in. I can't wait for the next book!!

Lots of blue sexiness but the subject matter is much deeper and interesting. It would be so easy to fall back on formulaic writing but RD keeps it and the character changing and evolving. Wunderbar!

Sadly, I'm an Ariana hater :( Conceptually, I can understand that degree of anxiety but I would struggle to remain supportive with the excessive breakdowns. This wasn't a bad book and as always Dixon writes a great story. The shake factor was high with this heroine. She gets better after a while but the beginning of the book was tough to get through. Note to others considering this book: h is a basket case. The kind of person who could set off panicked herds of people with her mouth vomit. If you can stand irritating, nervy, panickers, this character is for you. The H (pretty much as always with Dixon's leads) is a book saver. He's sweet and compassionate and counter balances the h's frenetic vibe.

This couple is so supportive and loving! It’s always nice to read about a couple that works so well together, and these two gave me a serious case of the warm fuzzies.
Plus, we learn more about life on this interesting alien world and I’m always down for that! Can’t wait to see more!

I just love this series. I was reading another book and when I got my e-mail for this book. I had to start reading it and it did not disappoint. I think I am addicted to your writing. Love it keep up the good work.

I really enjoyed this book and especially liked how the author delved into the feelings of anxiety. I also suffer from anxiety and the explanation of her "mind avalanches" were spot on. Loved how the hero stuck by her side through it all and worked hard at understanding what she was going through. Good book!
