Synopsis (Goodreads):
A jaded alien gladiator. A heroine who won’t give in. A battle worth winning.
After a fatal mistake drives Baralt away from his world, he has to rely on his fighting skills to survive. Despite his success in the arena, he grows increasingly tired of violence - until a soft, beautiful human female gives him a reason to fight.

With no one but herself to rely on, Izzie has managed to overcome all of the obstacles life has thrown at her. But being abducted and sold by aliens may be the one challenge she can’t defeat.

When a massive, furred alien comes to her rescue, she has no reason to trust him. And yet this strangely appealing warrior could be her only hope.

Determined to protect Izzie, Baralt is forced to return to the one place he vowed never to go - his home planet - only to find it facing its own threat. Can Baralt and Izzie work together to help his people, make peace with the past, and find the home they both want?
Thoughts on Izzie and the Icebeast: Oh, these sexy, possessive aliens. I REALLY like them. Especially when their possessive protection manages to give those abducted human women a chance at a new life. Given the future Izzie has in front of her if she isn't spirited away from her current owner, things would have ended very badly for her.

As it is, Baralt's alien intuition prods him to give Izzie what protection he can the first time he lays eyes on her. And things progress from there, if you know what I mean. Given that Baralt also ends up in a much better place - one he never thought he'd return to - this works out well for both of them.

On Izzie's end, she doesn't want to hope Baralt will be different from what she's experienced before, but he shows her at every turn that he's both a gentleman and he's someone willing to do what needs to be done to keep her safe.

Pit fighting, aliens with hearts of gold, a homecoming that is long overdue, and some sexy, sexy times between the Icebeast and the human. GOOD STUFF!
