This is a short story showing a night with Josie and Haeden's family. Super cute.

[Fanny · Rating 3 out of 5]

Joden es totalmente lindo, me hizo reir mucho con sus preguntas. Estas pequeñas escenas son sumamente bonitas, las estoy disfrutando mucho, ojala la autora siga escribiendo mas.

2.75 Estrellas!

Josie and Haeden’s oldest…

Has a loooooot of questions 🤣 and poor Josie’s just trying to to get him to sleep 🤡 but Joden doesn’t care 🤣, and poor Josie’s pregnant. Again 🤡.

Good thing Haeden steps in to get Joden to shut up 💀. Because once the kids are asleep, mommy and daddy can play 😉.

This was so cute!!! I FEEEELT Josie’s frustration 🤣.

Reminds me of the days I would tell my daughter to ask me tomorrow
Ask me tomorrow
ASK ME TOMORRRRRRROW 🤣🤣🤣

So cute ❤️ I wish it was longer 😭

This is just a short and cute novella about Josie and Haeden putting their kids to bed :)

This was so stinkin cute! I need more of the kits!

[Teresa Ruscito · Rating 4 out of 5]

Joden is hilarious and it’s because he is like Josie AND like Haeden. A continuously interrupted bedtime routine by an intelligent, curious and adorable kid is hard to beat. Then our couple being lovey dovey? This was a sweet little slice of life story ❤️

Oh dear, Joden seems like a handful!

2.5/5
I get where the author was going with this but Joden is just SO annoying! Just this little short story of him was more than enough.

[Lex · Rating 2 out of 5]

I can’t believe I have beef with a child. Joden is too much even for just a chapter

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

❝ What is a diamond? ❞

And just like that… I knew Josie was about to suffer 😂

This was the kind of short, chaotic, domestic sweetness that makes me fall in love with the Ice Planet Barbarians world all over again.

Joden??? Oh my word. This child is not a child—he’s an interrogation tactic😭
The questions. The CONSTANT questions.
Like sir??? Please??? Let your poor mother breathe???

Every answer just led to five more questions and I was sitting there like—
Josie, baby, you’re stronger than me because I would’ve tapped out immediately.

And the way it all spirals from a simple bedtime story into a full-blown explanation of human concepts???
Yeah no… I don’t blame her for losing the plot halfway through.

But that’s what made this so good.

It wasn’t dramatic or intense or plot-heavy.
It was just… real.

A tired, pregnant mom trying to get her chatterbox child to sleep while he questions the entire universe—and honestly? That felt more chaotic than any alien abduction plot.

And Haeden stepping in???
The quiet authority. The way he just handles it when Josie’s at her limit???
Yeah… that man stays one of my favorites for a reason.

And then that soft little moment after everything settles down…
The calm after the chaos, the warmth, the familiarity—
That lived-in love that doesn’t need to be loud to be felt.

It was sweet.
It was funny.
It was exhausting in the most real way possible.

And I loved every second of it 🤍

Grávida de oito meses de seu terceiro filho, Josie lida com o exaustão física da gestação enquanto prepara as crianças para dormir. Sua filha mais nova, Joha, já adormeceu, mas Joden, o primogênito, exige uma história antes de descansar.

O conto explora de forma divertida a personalidade do menino: de quem ele teria herdado o hábito de questionar absolutamente tudo?

Mais um "resgate" de 10 páginas retirado originalmente do Facebook da autora. 😂

[Lourdes Belén · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dios, me ha encantado este cuento, porque Joden es igualito que yo cuando era pequeña. Yo era una niña muy inquieta llena de preguntas y cuestionaba todo, así que he amado ver que Joden es igual. Tan lindo.

Me encanta ver cómo les va como familia, después de ser la pareja más peculiar. (En cuanto a su resonancia).

Another little slice of life at bedtime.
Josie and Haedan’s son wants a bedtime story, but Josie is running out of movie and TV shows to recount so she goes with a nursery rhyme instead. This just brings up more questions, and the kid fully dissects and critiques every line. Obviously it’s cute but not required reading.

[Midniteillusion · Rating 2 out of 5]

This one wasn’t quite as sweet and cute as the previous bedtime store slice of life.
I didn’t find Joden as endearing as the other children. I get that children are inquisitive but he didn’t quite come off that way, he came off as more of a brat (for lack of a better word). He was pretty persnickety with his mom (Josie), and I didn’t find it cute.

Cute bedtime song for Jaden (Josie & Haeden‘s son) 🎶✨💎
💋😈And then some cute & naughty banter for the adults 😈💋

(Is to be between Barbarian's Rescue & Barbarian's Tease)

This is putting kids to bed in a nutshell. It's funny because it's not me. This is just a very cute little story.

[Aleena · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short Novella, just a chapter but adorable. Slowly but surely making my way through the Rubyverse

[Kitty · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was adorable! I love seeing more of the kits and how they take on their parent's personalities.

Short story, part of recommended reading guide

Very short story about Josie trying to tell Joden a bedtime story or song. Lol it is cute and enjoyed seeing her and her mate and how they interact with their children.

[Erin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Josie and Haeden with their cute little son Joden.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

Joden es el niño más curioso que he leído en mucho tiempo, qué adorable.

[Burberi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute

[ellie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Joden si que es exasperante. Pero es hijo de Josie y Haeden entonces no puedo sentir aversion al hijo de una de mis parejas favoritas en IPB. Ojala que hubiera segundos libros sobre ellos.

[Iran Carlos · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love anything Haeden and Josie

[Jessica Cloud · Rating 5 out of 5]
