Synopsis (Goodreads):

Marlene's not like the other humans. They weep while she smiles. They look at us with fear, while she entices me with a come-hither look.

I...have no idea why such a bold female resonated to a male like me. I am the most reticent of all the sa-khui tribe, a hunter that never expected to have a family of my own. But resonance chooses, and it has chosen her for me. And Marlene is quite determined to seduce me…and who can say no to such a woman?

This story explores the long-awaited romance of Marlene and Zennek. Even though it is a ‘flashback’ to the beginning of the Ice Planet Barbarians series, it can be read out of order. Enjoy!

Thoughts on Barbarian's Seduction: Oh my GOODNESS. Zennek was such a total sweetheart. THE BLUSHING. THE AWKWARD SILENCES. THE EVERYTHING. On the surface, Marlene seemed like she'd be too much for the big, shy, blue guy. BUT THESE TWO WORKED. So nicely.

Seriously. I adore them together. Marlene isn't afraid to go after what she wants and Zennek's the one who caught her eye from the beginning. On his part, Zennek is just...overwhelmed by Marlene at first. She sees him and he doesn't quite know what to do about that.

Until, you know, he does. I mean, sure, there are a few awkward bumps along the way and there might be a few minor misunderstandings thanks to their very different backgrounds, but THEY WERE SO STINKING CUTE TOGETHER.

I thought I was a-okay with seeing some of these pairings that happened in the beginning from the periphery, but, MAN, I'm loving going back and experiencing those crazy first days all over again. Getting their cooties! The resonance! The sexy times when the couples just CAN'T KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF ONE ANOTHER.

I continue to have so much love for this series. SO MUCH.
