My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m not supposed to resonate to him.
It’s been a few years since I’ve landed here on Icehome Beach, and as resonance after resonance dwindled the list of bachelors, I knew who I’d end up with. As soon as we got past our differences, I’d end up as R’jaal’s mate.
On an everyday excursion, however, my khui decides otherwise. It sings all right . . . but not to R’jaal. Instead, I resonate to I’rec-the forceful, brash, overly-alpha leader of Shadow Cat. Did I mention he’s got a long-distance girlfriend already?
It’s a big mess, and it’s about to get messier.
But as things get chaotic on the beach and our way of life is threatened with upheaval, it’s the small things that end up mattering. Small things like the way I’rec kisses. Or the way we seem to have a lot more in common than we thought. Or the way I’rec can be gentle, but only with me . . .

The heroine: Flor – She has been on the ice planet for quite some time, when all the other women and alien men have resonated to each other. Flor considers herself to be the unofficial cruise director of their tribes, she tries to keep up the spirits of her fellow human females and alien men. She sees it as her superpower since she has been there for years without resonance. Though she does think that R’jaal and her might resonate at some point as he is the only male Flor can see herself being with, though something is broken between them.
The Hero: L’rec – he is the leader of the Shadow Cat tribe living on the Icehome beach. He wants more babies for the Shadow Cat tribe. He has even encouraged the non resonance mating between O’jek and Daisy to try for a child, to make sure Shadow Cat flourishes. He has made it clear that he is waiting for Tia to resonate with. Though he does spend some time with Flor and is currently helping her make some Croquet mallets.
The Story: Flor goes searching for plants with R’jaal, she remembers when they first met, she asked him to be pleasure mates and he turned her down. He apologizes for hurting her feelings and asks her to ask him again. Though she was very hurt by him wanting to wait for resonance and thinks that if he settles for her without it, that she would be second best. When he says he will kiss her, L’rec overhears and steps in and threatens R’jaal.
The storyline about each of the two main characters basically planning to be with others was a different one to any I have read before about the Ice Planet. I liked the differences in this one. I also loved the fact that there was a mystery about what happened to the fruit in the fruit cave (it wasn’t eaten by fruit bats), and our two main characters found another bunch of cryo-pods that were dropped off on the planet, containing a whole slew of clones, both women and men.
This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Felicity Munroe and Sean Crisden. These two are both good narrators that I like quite a bit. Felicity is great at showing emotion through her voice and using different voices and accents for different characters. Sean Crisden has a nice deep voice and is great at narrating for these alien romance books.
