Barbarian's Mate by Ruby Dixon
2.0
adventurous tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was hoping for a grumpy-sunshine dynamic, especially because book #5 set us up for it and built up so much expectation between these two characters, but this was a really frustrating read. And I found Josie so unlike herself. It seemed that the storyline for these two characters was sacrificed to set us up for books 7-8 to come.
