This series has gotten better with each book. This is book 3, Kira and Aehako's story. This was the best yet. 
 The thing with Harlow pisses me off though. They legit wrote her off as bailing without so much as an inkling of doubt otherwise. Not cool. I'm looking forward to reading her book next. I already have predictions as to what happened and who. 
 4.5 stars for Barbarian Lover.
