Synopsis (Goodreads):

The growing barbarian tribe is about to celebrate No-Poison Day – a time of love, laughter, and gifts. But all Elly wants is for her mate to be at her side before the brutal season arrives. All Bek wants is a way to quickly return to his female despite the mountains between them. Thanks to the talents of a newcomer…they're both about to get their wish and celebrate the happiest of holidays together.

This novella features characters from prior Ice Planet Barbarians stories and DOES NOT stand alone.

Thoughts on The Barbarian Before Christmas: Oh my goodness, I ADORE Bek and Elly. She's still trying so hard to break out of her shell and be more a part of the tribe, but she's not quite comfortable interacting with others yet. And he's so adorably protective of her. They're just...*squishes them together like whoa*

But this book isn't all Bek and Elly. We have several other mated pairs who have been missing their other half something fierce. No-Poison Day and Ashtar's abilities give us a sweet, sweet homecoming. (Spoiler: when the sexy aliens get back together with their mates, SPARKS FLY. Metaphorically.)

As always, I love these possessive aliens and their equally possessive mates. Their planet may be cold, but their sexy times are hot.
