Reviews with content warning for Panic attacks/disorders - Barbarian's Prize

I really enjoyed this installment! I just really appreciated that there was some heavier topics talked about. I thought it was handled well. I really appreciated how patient and caring the male lead was. I enjoyed reading about Tiffany and her trying to overcome her trauma. This is probably in my top three in this series so far, which I’m thankful because I didn’t love the one before this as much. I am interested in the next one about Josie and then figuring out where this series is going.

I've gotta say, I can see why people love this book's couple!

Salukh and Tiffany are so cute together. Salukh being patient and slow with Tiffany, letting her take the lead and meeting her where is most comfortable with at the moment, giving her the space she needs. His understanding of her trauma and willingness to put her pleasure before his.

As with all the IPB books, I did enjoy reading this. It was easy and quick to digest. However, I found myself a bit frustrated with Tiffany. She was callous in her neutrality, and her public dismissal of Salukh after he had been nothing but sweet was just too much.

Plus, Salukh was a little too much of a slob for my liking, but I appreciate that there are at least very distinct personalities.

Best of the 2.5s, but still eh. It's decent, but I just didn't FW the couple, I don't think.

Tiffany spends a lot of time struggling with her trauma from being SA'd on the alien ship, and I honestly kind of like how she still kind of struggles with it even after falling in love with Saluhk, which might sound messed up, but. BUT ALSO I hate how it IS kind of cured after she gets that D. Idk, it makes sense but also it doesn't, but also this is a novella smut book so I shouldnt expect nuanced takes on mental illness/trauma.

I digress. It is pretty decent though, I must reiterate. I like how patient Saluhk is with her. These men being so respectful is the only thing keeping me sane,,
