In Barbarian Alien, did you enjoy ...

... the slow-burn, cross-cultural romance between very different beings?

Radiance by Grace Draven

Radiance shines if you love the awkward, heartfelt journey between two characters from entirely different worlds who must overcome their mutual misunderstandings and prejudices. Like Liz and Raahosh, Ildiko and Brishen are thrown together and must learn to communicate and trust each other, gradually building a partnership that’s both romantic and deeply satisfying.

... intense character development through harrowing survival and romance?

The Last Hour of Gann by R. Lee Smith

If you were captivated by the way Liz and Raahosh are forced to grow and adapt in Barbarian Alien, The Last Hour of Gann delivers that same raw, transformative journey. Amber and Meoraq must confront their inner demons and prejudices while navigating an alien world and a complex, slow-building relationship that changes them both profoundly.

... romantic tension interwoven with high stakes and survival?

Song Of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope

If you loved the push-and-pull, high-stakes romance in Barbarian Alien, Song of Blood & Stone offers a powerful love story between outsiders forced together by dangerous circumstances. Jasminda and Jack's chemistry, mistrust, and eventual trust will draw you in, as their relationship is tested by prejudice, peril, and hope.

... fast-paced, action-driven plot with strong romantic elements?

A Promise Of Fire by Amanda Bouchet

If you enjoyed the relentless pacing and constant tension between Liz and Raahosh, A Promise of Fire will keep you turning pages. Cat and Griffin are thrown together by fate and circumstance, and their adventures are packed with action, banter, and a romance that simmers amidst danger and high stakes.

... the immersive, detailed worldbuilding of an unfamiliar civilization?

Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon

If the rich alien culture and survival elements of Barbarian Alien drew you in, you'll love Bound to the Battle God. While it’s set in a fantasy world rather than sci-fi, the depth of worldbuilding—strange customs, languages, and rituals—will give you that same sense of discovery as you explore a new world alongside the protagonist.
