Defs my fave couple so far. I’m obsessed with them 🤪

Lol this one didn't even try to pretend to be a honeymoon so besides the misleading title I respect that cause honeymoons on this planet aren't really possible (until maybe when they discover that fruit cave whenever that happens in the series lol). This is just the very beginning of Rukh and Harlow's life at the sea which was skipped in their book so more like a few bonus chapters than a honeymoon/epilogue🤷🏼‍♀️ but it was fine. This was sooo anti-honeymoon though because it's just about how incredibly hard their life is starting over here and not being able to communicate😅

Love these blue aliens and their spicy mates

This series continues to bring me so much joy!! I was in a pretty deep book rut and it has taken me right out of it!

They are so cute I do love them. I needed this part of their story for sure 💖💖💖

Rukh and Harlow are just Tarzan and Jane but make it Rated R with Aliens

"Rukh," she says, and taps my chest.
Then she taps hers. "Har-loh." She gestures at the two of us. "Together." Her meaning is clear. We are a pair, meant to be one. "To-geddur," I agree, and am rewarded with a happy smile.
Har-loh is mine, and I am Har-loh's.
We are togeddur. In this moment, and in everything.”

I love them so much! I absolutely love reading these slices of life! 💖

This cute extended epilogue takes place during the one-year jumps that happens during Barbarian Mine.

It is not surprising that I gave this one 4 stars as Rukh and Harlow have never been my favorite couple. They never have made sense to me together - despite their chemistry in the cave. *wink-wink*

4 stars!

Como no podia ser de otra manera, este epilogo me enamoro totalmente. Esta pareja me parece de las mas bonitas y sinceras que ha creado la autora, y aunque me hubiera gustado que tuviese mas paginas, entiendo que es un epilogo extendido y que no podia ser eterno.

En resumen, me gusto mucho mucho, ya llevo mas de la mitad de el ultimo libro de la saga Ice Planet Barbarian, y estoy un poco triste de ya no volver a saber nada mas de estos lindos extraterrestres azules.

3.5 Estrellas!

Los amo, son mi pareja favorita de toda esta puta saga de mierda

Es re chistoso como ellos tratan de comunicarse, pero no por problemas de comunicación, sino porque literal no saben comunicarse 😔

Harlow and Rukh’s “honeymoon” on the ice planet. Well more like when they went to the beach and stayed there until found again. They are such an adorable couple and I love how patient they are with one another (since Rukh didn’t remember how to speak or know much about anything) and adjusting to being mates and being a couple was definitely new to him.

[Mara · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a fun interstitial with one of my favorite couples in the series. I honestly could read more short stories of Harlow teaching Rukh how to speak

[Zero (semi-hiatus) · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this novella. Harlow and Rukh are both so sweet to each other. This isn't an epilogue, though. It is set between chapters 3 and 4 of Barbarian Mine, and shows Harlow and Rukh learning to live together on the beach right after they resonate.

I think about all the years he grew up in the wild without anyone to talk to, much less anyone to kiss, and I'm happy that resonance paired us together. It doesn't matter that he scared me in the beginning. I saw the lonely, aching man beneath all the dirt and fell in love.

A small continuation of Harlow and Rukh. These are so perfect. It’s just a little bit more alone time for the couples. It’s the perfect read and it’s just a small glimpse into their love.

[lobelyys · Rating 3 out of 5]

bro i’m done with this series lol (until i wanna continue it again obv). i read the first four books, the main characters, and their novellas since the end of february and i’m actually tired lol. anyway this was a good insight of how the relationship between the couple grew, i can’t even remember their name i’m so tired. they were cute but kinda boring, and i liked their main book only cause i liked the relationship between brothers, so this was really a “get this out of the way” read

[Set · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is how I imagine Harlow after skinning the animals for their hides and after gutting them for meat. I'm not such a big fan of the neanderthal, I'm more of an intellectual man but I do like Rukh. Ruby Dixon sexualizes man like men sexualize us in real life. Most men care about our beauty and less about our words. haha

3/5⭐

En esta ocasión la Ice Planet Honeymoon no es el futuro, sino que vemos como transcurrió ese año que estuvieron solos en la playa.

Al ser una novela corta, se lee en nada y sigue con la dinámica de ser entretenida y fresca, así que pasas un buen rato descubriendo como fue ese año en el que Harlow le enseña a hablar a Rukh y como funcionaban como pareja.

¿Me ha gustado? Pues mucho, la verdad y quiero seguir leyendo más aliens azules y sobreprotectores.

[Sonia · Rating 4 out of 5]

such a cute read

This is more like a deleted scene than an extended epilogue (compared to the other honeymoon novellas).

It takes place soon after Rukh and Harlow “resonate” or ahem… mate 😅 and before the one year jump in the timeline their book has.

What I loved about this was that we see more of how they’re learning to communicate and cohabitate together ❤️ especially because there is a language barrier 😅.

I love how attentive Rukh is 🥹🫶 he works his butt off, making sure that his meat has enough meat to eat and fur to cover herself because of how cold she gets 😭.

And the 🔥? Uffff. Rukh is always willing to learn 😉 (and I love how realistic this is with his lack of stamina 🤣 he’s never been with a female before, so it makes sense 🤷‍♀️).

Gahhh! I just loved this ❤️.

I do wish that we had more of their life After the baby was born (in book 3), but that book did have a little bit of that already ❤️

3.8 ⭐️

Este fue distinto al resto de los relatos porque no nos hablaba de lo qué pasó después de su libro, sino que nos mostró lo qué pasó en ese año que no nos mostraron en el libro.

Fue muy tierno verlos en sus etapas iniciales como pareja.

De nuevo en este libro Ruby recalca la comunicación en una relación. Es algo muy importante porque Rukh al haber estado solo toda su vida a veces se le olvida que ahora tiene a Harlow, así que hace cosas sin preguntar antes y eso a ella la frustra muchísimo. Se siente como un objeto sin opinión. Claramente lo arreglan y me encantó como lo hicieron.

Otra cosa que recalca es la equidad en una relación. En especial en las relaciones de esta especie porque tienden a ser sobre protectores y algo machistas, así que nuestra chica le hace ver que puede ir con él en vez de estar esperándolo.

¿Lo recomiendo? Siii, me gustó bastante.

[Zimmy W · Rating 3 out of 5]

This honeymoon actually just made me mad that they spent SO LONG away from the others (and that they didn't make the ancestor's ship computer teach Rukh languages) but whatever, it was cute enough I guessss

[ياسمينة · Rating 3 out of 5]

Oh god..
these barbarians must appear and multiply in our world.
Rukh 🫶🏻


"Rukh food Har-loh," he says instead.

"This is another thing I must learn when it comes to my mate. Har-loh is fragile and weak compared to me. I must take care of her. I must handle all the things that are too difficult or that she does not like to do, because I am her mate."

"I never feel uneasy or threatened. I always feel safe and cherished and so damn loved in his arms."

"I love being owned by him."

'We may not have the words, but he's listening.'

Fun, good fill-in for that year time jump, and enjoyed seeing how their communication progress first started.

[Sara Atwood · Rating 5 out of 5]

not gonna lie I liked #4.5 better than 4 LOL. I don't know I really don't have that much to say but of course I enjoyed it very much

[Jess *lovetolovebooks* · Rating 4 out of 5]

This novella takes place right after Ruhk and Harlow make it to the beach in book 4 which I kind of wished this had just been in the book and not made into a separate novella but I enjoyed it nonetheless. They are still having some communication problems which causes some hurt feelings and confusion but they learn quickly what works best for them. Ruhk is such a good provider but he learns in this novella that they work best together.

Overall rating 3.5 but rounded up to 4 stars

[Averie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a fun read!!
Harlow and Rukh are one of my all-time favorite couples in this series, so this was just a delight to read❤️
I am honestly also just a sucker for language barrier romances!

4 1/2 stars

[Kayla Duren · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was cute. I liked seeing how things were for them in the beginning, when they were still learning about one another and how to communicate. I liked that it wasn't all perfect right away and that their relationship actually took a bit of work and understanding. I also just liked how understanding Harlow was with Rakh because I think I would have been super frustrated with it all. Overall, it was an enjoyable little flashback.
