Secure A Copy Calm (Ice Planet Barbarians, #7.5) Devised By Ruby Dixon Issued In Audio Book
sweet and to the point or more like a great bridge to whats coming, And what is coming, well we don't find out but in this short story from Maylak's point of viewwhich was a nice change up by the way We see that Maylak who is very soon to give birth wakes with a bad feeling.
Not knowing what it is she visits past characters, and some that we haven't had yet and checks on them,
This books has some really cute check ins and ups with past characters, Yes this book is short but it's a nice book to tide anyone who is like me and is always very impatiently waiting for the next book from this series, and it is also a great way to introduce to us and show us that something is coming.
I really, really hope it's that more woman are coming and that we find more Barbarians for the woman who land, wishful thinking maybe but until I know differently I'm planning on living in Wishvilleand I know I"m not the only one.

I love these Slice of Life stories from Ms, Dixon. I really loved this one because it was about Maylak and what goes inside her head, I really cannot wait for the next book and find out what big changes are in store for the Ice Barbarians,Stars All of these novellas focus on couples that were bypassed in the main books, Cute little “after the HEA” tidbits to keep me satisfied while I wait for the next book to come out, Only to read if youre a fan of the entire series because they are not standalones, “Everything is fine. You must be patient. ”
She bounces from foot to foot, “I dont know if youve noticed, but Im not so good with patient, Its so hard, because I want to experience everything! And Liz has the pukes and I dont, ” She looks mournful. “I just cant wait, you know”Her hands go to her mouth, “Oh, Im sorry. Im not bitching, I promise, Im just excited. ”
“I know you are not”
“I mean, it must suck really hard to be pregnant for like, three friggin years, bloated like a watermelon on the vine and” Her eyes widen.
“Im making it worse, arent I”
I do not know if she is, What is a watermaylon”
“Gimme,” Mehgan says, “Just, gimme. ” They laugh, and the cake is passed around, I am given a plate, and I ponder the sloppy, goocovered wedge of “cake, ” As I watch, Mehgan picks up her cake, takes a bite, and then closes her eyes, She sets it back down again and carefully licks her fingers, “That is the best thing I have eaten since we landed, ”
Now I am curious, I take a little nibble of the cakeand freeze, The texture is
coarse and strange, and the awful sweetness of the flavor reminds me of meat that has gone bad, With great difficulty, I finish chewing my small bite and force myself to swallow, Around me, the others are finishing their cake rapidly and exclaiming to Staysee about how wonderful it is, I hold my plate, unsure how I can get rid of it without offending Staysees feelings,
As I head to the far side of the tribal home, the sound of retching makes my healer senses prick.
I turn, heading toward the cave that Leezh shares with Raahosh, “Oh good,” I hear Leezh say, “The healer. Now I know Im dying, ”
I know enough about this human to know that she exaggerates, but her words still send a pang of worry through me.

Blah, . . I've loved this series so far, but I have to say this little novella was pretty disappointing, It was really short, and I never really felt anything while reading it, I'll still continue this series but I could have easily gone without reading this short story, It was defiantly a tease as the author stated, but I'm not a fan of cliffhanger type endings and this one has that.
Nothing of relevance happened during this read, At least it was offered as a kindleunlimited though, “Calm” is a short sciencefiction, romance/erotica novella in the ice planet barbarian series, Each story is about a human heroine and her blue alien mate,
I was really happy to see for the first time Maylaks point of view since usually she sits in the background and she only shows up when someone is in need of healing.
Until now we have only seen the perspective of the heroines and their mates, so its a good chance to experience the way a female sakhui is thinking.
Maylak might not follow the human customs, but she definitely has her own way of caring for the tribe and expressing her love to her mate and kids.
Kashrem smiles at me, and my heart squeezes with affection for my mate, On impulse, I reach out and caress his arm, searching, I send my thoughts through his body, searching for his khui, Each one has a slight song to it, even when not in resonance, and I search for that song now, mixed in the pulse of flowing blood and thumping heart.
Kashrems is there, and it is strong, Normal. I breathe a sigh of relief and pull back into myself, A moment later, I touch Eshas arm and do the same, just because I must reassure myself that my family is well.
Until I read her story I always thought that her part is an easy one, however her perspective made me see the big contribution she has in the tribe and how serious her role as a healer is.
This is why a healer has so many secrets, Because sometimes they should not be spoken until they have turned into something that can be healed away with a touch,
Do I need to talk about how swoon worthy is her mate Im sure by now we all have figure out how awesome the sakhui tribe is, but since Kashrem hasnt showed up much in the other books we can see his protectiveness shine here.
.A short story that includes a mystery and a healthy baby!
The healer of the tribe, i, e. Maylak, has a bad feeling when she wakes up this morning, Since she feels responsible for the wellbeing of the whole tribe, she tries to discover what the problem might be,
She shares her concerns with Rokan who also senses that there is something wrong and with the leader of the tribe and exlover Vektal.
Together they decide that it better not to scare the others,
Hmm Let's see what the future will bring, . . The Ice Planet Barbarians series should be read in order, As for Calm this one should be read after Barbarians Touch, Fans will enjoy the little slice of life in the barbarian tribe we have come to know and love,
Calm is about Maylak and Kashrem, We get a peek into their lives, We get to see how hard the healer works to take care of those in the tribe, her fears, and the upcoming birth of their child.
We also get to visit all the previous couples and their families,
Calm is a nice slice in the lives of the Ice Planet Barbarians, I enjoyed this short story,
