Callie's Catastrophe

Icehome Series, Book 9

What's a bigger disaster than being stranded on an ice planet with a bunch of aliens, never to return home? Resonating to the biggest jerk of all those aliens, of course. I hate M'tok, and it seems to be mutual. He thinks I'm ugly and unpleasant, and doesn't understand why I don't just fling myself at him. In his eyes, resonance has decided, and that's that.

Problem is, resonance keeps pushing us together. And when that doesn't make me jump into his furs...he steals me away from the camp. I can't avoid him if there's nowhere to go.

I want to hate him even more for that. But I keep finding out that M'tok isn't who I thought he was. And the man I hate? Doesn't hate me at all...

Contains mature themes.

love this series

I really like how you hear about the others from previous books and you hear how they are all doing.

Love love love!

I absolutely adore the men in these books so innocent and down right sexy! I’m always fanning myself when I read through ruby Dixon’s books. Need a new addiction? Then you need Ruby Dixon’s books!

Callie and M’tok.

I love that Callie is a Harry Potter fan and assigns everyone a house. This is one of the funnier books of the series. Recommend listening in order starting with the Ice Planet Barbarian series. Got the series with my Kindle Unlimited and was able to purchase this for the Whispersync price. Narrators are great, I do tend to use speed 1.25x, just because I have so many books to read and it doesn’t ruin the narration.

Caliente Callie!

“Okay, for that he can live.”
This is an enemies to lovers romance, but in the Icehome world this still means consensual. So, even though there’s trickery and abduction, it’s done in a cute and comedic fashion, such as Callie being a HarryPotter fan and being determined to be the clever Ravenclaw to his deceitful Slitherin.

“It’s almost like fate wants M’Tok’s balls chopped off.”
On the fun side, Callie is a fiesty Cuban, dropping F bombs and Cuban swear words as she resists resonance with M’Tok. Is it weird that I found the F bombs crass but the Latin bombs sexy?

On the less fun side, because this is an abduction plot, the majority of the book is just the two of them. This makes for a duller book. Also, for all their clashing, this is a slow burn to get to the point of accepting resonance. While I prefer the stories that are front loaded with humor, action, and heat, this one was still a pretty good listen.

Callie’s catastrophe

This is one of Ruby Dixon‘s series of Ice Planet Barbarians. Acute, sweet Storey residence.
