Lauren's Barbarian (Icehome, #1) QUOTES

1 " Stranded alone with a brutal but delicious alien man that can’t speak English but has great…ahem…body language? Yup, handled. "

― Ruby Dixon , Lauren's Barbarian (Icehome, #1)

2 " I’ve crossed galaxies while I slept, crossed an ocean and back again, but none of that matters. I know where my home is—right here in his arms. It’s where I’ll always want to be. "

― Ruby Dixon , Lauren's Barbarian (Icehome, #1)

3 " W-where am I? Why am I naked?” The blonde bites down on her knuckle. “So. Many. Jokes. I can’t. I just can’t, though. "

― Ruby Dixon , Lauren's Barbarian (Icehome, #1)

4 " There’s not a stitch of clothing on him…and I’m kind of bummed that I can’t see what his junk looks like. I’m only human, after all. If there’s a naked dude, I want to stare, too. "

― Ruby Dixon , Lauren's Barbarian (Icehome, #1)

5 " I can help with Mari. Help with food. I’m strong.” I lift an arm, flex a muscle, and pat my bicep. “Strong.”

R’jaal’s lips twitch as if he’s doing his best not to laugh.

K’thar just looks proudly at me. "

6 " Llo?” he whispers, caressing my cheek with his thumb.

“Hi there,” I whisper back to him, and then because I’ve wanted to say it for so long, “I love you.”

My alien breaks into a massive grin. "

7 " We risked a lot to come here.” I think of the sucker wounds on his chest and the scratches that cover his body, and shudder.

“I will always come back for you, my Llo. I will never leave your side.”

I squeeze against him tighter, holding him closer. “I love you. I love you so much.”

“Thank you, my mate.”

It’s not the answer I expect from a declaration of love, and I look up at him in surprise. “Er, thank you?”

“For giving my tribe new life. Here on this shore, and”—he touches my belly—“here, L’ren.”

Okay, now I’m going to cry again. "
