Barbarian is the 6th installment from the Galactic Gladiators. I was really excited for this one, as the previous book teased at these two and all the angst and drama between these two. I absolutely loved this one. It was just so delightful. I also really was endeared in seeing how this one developed. While this was not my favorite book of the series, it was still a lot of fun and this book is pretty important for the aspects of the serial plot development. These two end up being rivals, to be honest, them hating each other was odd. The heroine gets so offended and I am not sure why to be honest. I mean much of what the hero implies is probably just how he views women in general or treats them because I am sorry hun but a big muscled man who has been fighting since he was four is more powerful physically than you. haha She just seemed so naive to the differences between men and women physically and she is a doctor. It just felt like it was used so that there was a conflict but didn't really make sense for their relationship. Maybe the author was looking for some angst between these two, I am not really sure, eventually they get over their issues though. And I really am more wanting the beast's story haha him and Mia I want to be together so badly! I am really interested in seeing them together when I read their book next. Very intrigued to see where the author is taking this series and having such a fun time with these books here.
