She was never wanted and had a ton of insecurities of her own. On earth she was in and out of foster homes.

He made a ton of mistakes, but he learned and changed. He was brave, sweet, and really wanted to please Josie. He cared so much, and had such fear of losing another mate that he came off pissy and cold. She made them both so sick from resonances that she died and Haeden almost died and needed a new khui. She refused him and kept sleeping with her lover while laughing at Haeden like he was lacking. He resonated to an older women who already had a lover. Even though they had a really rough start to their relationship they ended up being one of my favorite couples right after Raahosh and Liz. They both had a ton of baggage that made them act stupidly about the resonance. In this book I loved Haeden so much and wanted to shake some sense into Josie. I loved Josie in the other books and didn't care much for grumpy, rude Haeden.

Here is a Michael Fassbender gif to persuade you: So now, all that's left is for you to read the book. Haeden didn't have feelings for her and vice versa. Thus, they never had sex, and there was no love lost between them. Yes, Haeden was mated before, but before you get your panties in a twist, I'll clear it out now: the ex was an older alien woman who refused Haeden because she was in love with someone else. There is one thing I want to point out, though, and that's the ex. The writing here was really good, though the pacing dragged a bit in the middle, forcing me to go all 'JUST GET IT ON ALREADY, YOU TWO!' I think that Tiffany was more annoying that Josie, but hey, to each his own, I guess. Plus, she realised what a big selfish bitch she was later on anyway, so it never really became a big issue for me. Yeah, she got annoying and selfish at some parts she even wanted them to rip out their cooties so they could stop resonating to each other, but I understood why she was like that. Third, Josie was generally a likeable heroine. FUCKTASTIC.Īnd you know what we do with ridges? We Vektal the crap out of them. Darcy lived in another planet, had horns, blue skin and ridges.Īnd if that doesn't count as reason number 2 then there is something fundamentally wrong with you. So in short, this book was definitely worth the wait, and I'm not even going to lie to you, man-it's definitely my personal favourite out of all the installments in the series so far (sorry, Rukh and Harlow!), and I'll tell you why.įirst, Haeden was Mr. Reading Barbarian's Mate was like being celibate for years only to have your dry spell broken by a sex god with Michael Fassbender's package.
