Its Thursday! This week's favorite is a crazy sauce Alien Romance Holiday Special. What is amazing is that it includes Hanukah! Yea!

I like the sweetness of this series and this short story captures what most Winter Solstice Holidays are about finding light in the darkness. 

-------

All this snow and no holidays? What's a stranded human to do?

Create a new holiday, of course. Georgie and the other women decide to bring some new traditions and cheer to the sa-khui. More babies are born, presents are exchanged, and a new romance blossoms between a human woman desperate for a change, and the alien determined to protect her.

Review

As a newcomer to the alien tribe, I've struggled to find my place. It might be because I'm a tad headstrong at times. And yes, I might have thrown a few things at people's heads. But I had a good reason to pitch a fit - my shy sister was stolen away right under my nose. Of course, now she's back and mated. Everyone's happy...except me.

I need...affection.
Attention.
Okay, I'm lonely. Really lonely.

Strangely enough, the only person that I think understands what I'm going through is the same blue-skinned brute that stole my sister. It's wrong to hook up with him, even as a mindless fling.

Except...I'm not so good with the whole 'rules' thing.
And he's not so great with the 'fling' thing

Review

I like this series because it is fun.

This addition to the series was less fun because the hero and heroine are pretty unlikeable and it takes a while to get over that fact.

On the hand, the heroine is very human. Her flaws are all very understandable as are her action. But in the end she seems petulant and self serving even with the hero.

The hero is more likable.

The romance is actually sweet and the events that impact the plot line of the series are interesting.

So, I will keep reading but this one isn't a favorite.

When I wake up on the ice planet, I’m scared of everything: this place is cold, silent, and the locals look more like blue devils than aliens. To make matters worse, one of the strangers decides I’m going to be his girlfriend and kidnaps me away from my sister. I’m completely and utterly alone. What’s a girl to do?

Well, this girl escapes. 

Of course, that means I go from frying pan into the fire, and my situation gets even more dangerous. Just when I have no hope left, a new hero appears. Sure, he’s blue, horned, and has a tail. He’s also fierce, protective, makes me purr...and thinks I'm perfect.

But is what we have real or just a mating instinct? 

Review

These are sweet, fun, alien romances. I read this fast and happily. I hope there is more! 

One morning, gentle Maylak wakes up and feels a sense of oncoming dread. As the tribe's healer, it is her job to ensure that everyone is safe, happy, and healthy...and they are.

So what can be threatening her people? 

Review

A must read for fans of the series. We get a check in with all the couples and all the babies.

It is a nice peek at married love as well. Good stuff. 

t's hard being a new mom on a barren, wintry planet. How about a mom...times two? Nora has to find a way to juggle babies, her mate, and friendships while catching the occasional nap. Can she get her groove back?

This is a short story set in the ICE PLANET BARBARIANS series and does not stand alone. It should be read after BARBARIAN'S MATE and is a little bit of sweetness and family life for those waiting for the next release.

Review 

This is a sweet story about love while being new parents. Ir was a pleasure to spend time with all the couples from the series.
