TBR, who? ARCS, what? Here's Amy Padilla's latest: "The Barbarian's Claim." It's the fourth official novel in her Not-So-Savage Barbarians series.
["I’ve been alone most of my life. No family, no home. No one would care if I disappeared. I wouldn’t survive another year on my own. In a desperate attempt to survive, I volunteered as tribute to the barbarians after hearing they now accepted males. At least if I died, I would have done something good by sparing someone else. But it wasn’t at all what I was expecting. And when my protector abandons me for being unable to speak, I’m left floundering again until someone else steps up to take his place. He’s dangerous and scarred, and people give him a wide berth, but he offers me something I haven’t had since I was a child. Safety. I’d be a fool to walk away now."]
Another FABULOUS addition to an amazing series. I don't remember Matthew from Simon's book, but I do remember Einar. Matthew reminded me a lot of Patrick (and Finn), all broken and lonely and just wanting a place of his own. Luckily, stubbornness or not, Einar was there to give him protection, a friend, cuddles, and a home. They were adorable as hell, even if they pissed off a few people (they'll get what's coming to them--in the form of Einar's knife or fate giving them their own mate).
Trigger Warnings: dubious consent, threats of and violence against the MC, attempted assault, and more.
