The King's Spinster Bride
The King's Spinster Bride | Ruby Dixon
2 posts | 2 read
Sixteen years ago, Princess Halla of Yshrem saved the life of an eight-year-old barbarian boy and watched her kingdom fall to ruin, all on the same day. Now, she is a forgotten spinster in a quiet temple, living her days out in solitude. The last of her line, she exists in the hope that she has been forgotten, for to be remembered by the enemy is to be certain death. One person has not forgotten her. Mathior, now twenty-four, is the fierce warrior king of the Cyclopae. Yshrem is in turmoil and his advisors have a suggestion - kill the last remaining member of the royal line, and there will be no rivals for the throne. Mathior has a different idea. He's loved Halla for sixteen long years, and it's time he claimed her as his wife. But a barbarian's wedding customs are unlike any other...

I read 8 books in February. A slow month for me. Pictured is my reading journal where I like to draw in their spines next to a star rating. I write the full title and author name on the left page.

Favorites were my rereads of Moon Called & Blood Bound with A Closed & Common Orbit being a close second.

Finished out the month with a couple of Ruby Dixon books from her Aspect & Anchor series which is one of hers I have not yet finished reading. ⬇️

Soubhiville I love your journaling method! Looks really nice. 21h
MeganAnn 1/2: Tagged book is a sort of prequel novella for the Aspect & Anchor series. It follows a spinster princess who lost her family & kingdom in the war that happened 16 years prior where she saved the life of the enemy‘s son. The new barbarian king has come to claim her as his bride after being in love with her ever since she saved his life. His culture has some unusual marriage customs. It‘s a quick, fun standalone read with some spicy scenes. ⬇️ (edited) 21h
MeganAnn 2/2: Ruby Dixon shines in these short novella type stories. I think the main Aspect & Anchor books are good, but kind of long for her and do suffer a bit because of the longer length. When she keeps it shorter (I think most of the Ice Planet Barbarian books & related spinoffs are under 300 pages) she draws you into the character‘s romance quickly and keeps the momentum going. The longer titles lose that in the middle then pick up again. (edited) 21h
MeganAnn @Soubhiville thank you! 🥰 21h

Short novella set inside a broader series. Easy to finish in an evening. A young princess sees her kingdom conquered and she is exiled for 16 years until the prince of the conquering tribe comes for her...to kill her or not?
