Barbarian's Prize by Ruby Dixon
4.25
adventurous fast-paced

 4.25 ⭐

Oh, Tiffany and Salukh were just delightful! There are a lot of great things going on with their story.

It is a little bit darker as it deals with Tiffany’s past sexual trauma and her fear of resonating with anyone.

Ugh! And Salukh recognizing this fear and helping her through it- Never demanding anything and letting Tiffany lead all of their encounters.

And I ended up bumping this rating up just a smidge solely based on the spice. There were a lot of things I really loved – the interaction where they talked each other through masturbation, her talking him through receiving oral, him being kind of a dirty talker, and the face sitting. Like, DAMN. All good things.

But as I’m sitting here typing this, I realize it all boils down to FANTASTIC COMMUNICATION between them as their physical relationship progressed. So much TALKING and CONFIRMATION and CONSENT!!! Love that.
