Synopsis (Goodreads):

Nora says she’s happy.

Dagesh isn’t so sure. He loves his pretty human mate and wants nothing more than to bring a smile to her face…so she’ll go running into his arms. When he asks the tribe what she’s missing, someone suggests a wedding.

All right, then. He’ll throw the best barbarian wedding ever.

So how does Nora tell her determined, thoughtful mate that what she wanted wasn’t a wedding…but something a little different in bed?

Thoughts on Barbarian's Bride: (I know I say this every time I read one of these books, but...) MAN, I like these big, blue barbarians. And seeing the last of the originals find their happy place just makes me so happy. (A little sad, too, because what do you mean we've run through the entire group? How is that even possible? But at the same time, the KIDS! The couple are all officially paired up and they have these adorable, rambunctious kiddos and MY HEART EYES ARE STRONG!)

So. Nora and Dagesh. They're one of the first couples to resonate and things honestly go super well for them. Except...well, except for one teeny, tiny thing. Nora likes things a little rough in bed and Dagesh has no idea that's even a thing. Nora's willing to push what she needs aside because she's happy in every other way, but Dagesh knows something is bothering his mate.

Once Nora's wants come out in the open things take a while to get hashed out. Dagesh has a hard time wrapping his head around using dominance and/or pain to bring pleasure. He definitely doesn't want to hurt Nora, but she needs that little something extra to be satisfied. So they have to find a happy medium that doesn't cross Dagesh's hard line, but which still satisfies Nora.

Like I said, I adore these big, blue barbarians and the ladies who they're matched with. Big, blue barbarian love all around!
