Daisy’s Decision by Ruby Dixon

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I fear I’ve made a mistake.

I left a pampered life and a loveless relationship to live on an icy primeval world, all for the promise of a soulmate and children. But three years have passed, and my hopes and dreams have become dashed. I haven’t resonated. Without resonance, there will be no children for me, and no loving mate.

So I keep waiting, and waiting . . .

But then I come up with a brilliant plan to get me everything I want. And my plan needs a volunteer, one that would be happy to be my mate in all ways. Luckily, I know just who to approach . . .

Daisy’s Decision

Another good one from Ruby Dixon!

The heroine: Daisy – she thinks she looks hideous after the accident (where she fell into a fire to knock a child out of the way). She was burned on the side of her face and head. She cut all her hair off when it happened, and it is growing back now. The healer has been working on her ever since and her scars are getting much better. Daisy is from the planet Praxi and and gave up her life there for a chance at meeting a true mate and having a family.

The Hero: O’jek – he is from the shadow cat clan. He has been in love with Daisy since the moment she arrived on this world. Though he thinks she is meant for a leader or someone special within the clan. He thinks he is not worthy of a mate. Though he loves to dream that one day she will be his.

The Story: O’jek takes care of Daisy. Her entire world has changed since she was taken and since the accident. She had been a beard and a trophy wife on Praxi, only valued for her beauty. Her husband had a male mate that he loved, and she was relegated to third position while her husband and his mate showed their love for each other. All she wants is for someone to love her, but she feels she is ugly. She doesn’t realize how much O’jek loves her, but she does rely on him, and she does see that he has a crush on her. Though she is afraid if she gives in, he might resonate to Flor, the only other single woman and then she would be worse off.

I do really like this series and the Ice Planet Barbarian’s, though I think that Ruby Dixon writes too many heroines as whiners that feel sorry for themselves, and Daisy is no different. They do always turn around and become strong women as the stories go, but I just wish she would write more heroine’s that make the best of their situation from the beginning.

The audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Felicty Munroe and Sean Crisden, who have done most of this series. They do a terrific job every time and this audiobook was no different.
