A weekly in-depth discussion of every character and plot point of Ruby Dixon's "Ice Planet Barbarians" romance series. Because why not?
episode 17: ‘barbarian’s seduction’ w/ sarah maclean
Considering the number of co-hosts who have joined me on this podcast who discovered this series through a bonkers panel hosted by historical romance novelist Sarah MacLean, I had to have her on the podcast. The podcast just wouldn't be complete without it. In this episode, we talk about our very, very French heroine, Marlene, and her shy beau, Zennek. We also discuss the appeal of bonkers books, the future of the Ice Planet tribe and the genius of Ruby Dixon's world-building. This is the last episode for this batch (er, season?) before the podcast goes on hiatus. It's been such a treat to talk about sex, love, romance, trauma, survival and horny blue aliens with all of my co-hosts and listeners. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

episode 16: ‘barbarian’s beloved’ w/ juno sunbear
We're going back in time! In this episode, we flashback to the very beginning to see what went down when the Ice Planet's saddest woman and most emotionally intelligent hunter resonated. Author Juno Sunbear declares Ariana the mascot for 2020 (Sad Bitch 2020) and I fawn over how great a job Zolaya does at helping her cope. We're both creeped out by their eerie kid, though. We also talk about what's happening over at the Icehome Village. Do the new arrivals even know the Croatoan Village has indoor plumbing and heated floors? Did they get a choice before being abandoned on that beach? Justice for the Beach Tribe! Be on the look out for the next episode when I’ll talk Barbarian’s Seduction with author Sarah MacLean!

episode 15: ‘barbarian’s tease’ with katrina jackson
This episode, I'm joined by author Katrina Jackson to discuss Barbarian's Tease, the 15th book in the Ice Planet Barbarians series. And, whew! Brook and Taushen really tested us in this one. They basically that one Katy Perry song. They're also kind of dumb. 😂 Along with their antics, we discuss whether tails should be a requirement in alien romances, life in the new Icehome tribe and how Brook needs to LEAVE TIFFANY ALONE! Be on the look out for the next episode when I'll talk Barbarian’s Beloved with erotica author Juno Sunbear. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

episode 14: ‘barbarian’s rescue’ with jenny of the wicked wallflowers podcast
Heyyyyyy, listeners! I hope you all are thriving and surviving as 2020 continues to 2020. I recorded this episode back in May and have finally kicked my butt in gear to share. Thank you for being so patient, 'cause I'm struggling. 🙃 But at least I'm having great conversations with funny people while doing so. This episode, I'm joined by Jenny Nordbak from the Wicked Wallflowers Club. She and I discussed Barbarian's Rescue, also known as the one where everything gets blown up! Summer and Warrek are straight up action stars in this book ... and we skimmed all that to talk about the kissing. We also try and figure out what is considered second base (over the shirt or under??) as well as what an Ice Planet Talent Show would look like. Be sure to join me for the next book, Barbarian's Tease, when I'll be joined by author Katrina Jackson. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

episode 13: barbarian’s lady w/ not your mom’s romance book club
The series goes back to its roots in this book, with couples hiding from the tribe and making out in caves. But things get messy (literally!) quickly for Kate and Harrec when the big blue barbarian suffers a serious injury. To complicate matters, our boy can't handle the sight of his own blood. Ellen and Ellen's Mom from the Not Your Mom's Romance Book Club join me to discuss Ice Planet exposure therapy, Harrec's lack of game and whether the sa-khui kiss-and-tell. Join me for the next episode when we discuss Warrek and Summer's book, Barbarian's Rescue. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

episode 12: ‘barbarian’s redemption’ w/ jen of fated mates
This book starts with the hero buying human slaves from intergalactic smugglers. Big yikes! Luckily for us, Ms. Dixon doesn't burden the story with descriptions of horrors and trauma. Instead, we follow our newly resonated couple, Bek and Elly, as they work to trust and understand one another. Jen, from the Twitter account JenReadsRomance, joins me as we discuss Bek's surprising redemption (okay, not that surprising ... it's in the title). Next week, I'll be joined by Ellen and Ellen's Mom from the Not Your Mom's Romance Book Club to discuss Barbarian's Lady. What debauchery have I introduced into their lives?! Got a comment? Question?

episode 11: ‘barbarian’s choice’ with melody of heaving bosoms
Things are tough right now. Why not avoid it all by listening to Heaving Bosoms' Melody and I talk about all the alien sex featured in Barbarian's Choice? Our girl, Farli, is all grown up and looking for a resonance mate of her very own. Luckily for her, angsty mechanic Mardok lands on the ice planet. He's big, blue and broody. Even better, he's Farli's resonance mate. Listen in as we answer questions you never had about sa-khui sex, anatomy and birth control. Get ready for next week's episode when Jen of JenReadsRomance and I discuss Bek's big fuck-up in Barbarian's Redemption. Got a comment? Question? Correction? Confession?

episode 10: ‘barbarian’s hope’ w/ andrea of shelf love podcast
This is a heavy one, friends, so get the tissues ready. Andrea, from the Shelf Love Podcast joins me for a discussion of Barbarian's Hope. We were impressed by all the emotional work Asha and Hemalo did to reconnect following their break up. Healthy conversations? Had 'em. Avoidance behavior? Called it out. Grief? Dealt with, but not minimized, in a productive manner. We stan a mentally healthy resonance couple. Heads up, readers: Both the book and this episode deal with the loss of a child. Please be aware and listen with caution, if needed. Things get even more out of this world in next week's episode, when Melody from the Heaving Bosoms podcast joins me to discuss Barbarian's Choice.

episode 9: ‘barbarian’s heart’ w/ erin of heaving bosoms
Erin, of the Heaving Bosoms podcast, and I discuss the tragic romance of Pashov and Stacey from Barbarian's Heart. She loves him, but he can't remember her. It's my kryptonite, y'all. We follow these two as they road-trip across the ice planet to the tribe's new home and try to repair their broken bond. But he keeps saying the wrong and she won't give the guy a break. In one last ditch effort, Pashov "kidnaps" Stacey (with permission from his chief, of course) and whisks her away to a hunter cave to rekindle their romance. Come back next week when Andrea, of the Shelf Love podcast, and I discuss Barbarian's Hope. Heads up for that one: the book contains discussion of the loss of a child. Got a comment? Question?

episode 8: ‘barbarian’s taming’ with ana coqui
In case you didn't know, my all-time favorite gif is the one featuring Marie Kondo gleefully stating that she loves mess. Well, Ms. Kondo, you'd love Barbarian's Taming, because our girl Maddie and her man, Hassen, are MESSY. Ana Coqui, of the Beyond the Sectors and RomBkLove podcasts, joins me as we discuss their questionable decisions. Not only does Maddie pick the tribe's loneliest, most desperate man to have a no-strings-attached fling with (lol good luck enforcing that), she picks the dude who is exiled for stealing her own sister. Somehow, though, these two outsiders make it work. But, will Maddie's sister ever accept them? Will Hassen be able to convince Vektal to put an end to his (admittedly mild) exile? Turns out, none of that matters because a catastrophic earthquake destroys to Tribal Caves and puts the whole community out on the ice streets. It's a plot-heavy read with some big consequences for the tribe. Listen in next week as I discuss Barbarian's Heart, featuring poor Pashov and his poor busted head, with Erin of Heaving Bosoms.
