Harlow disappeared, when she was needed the most. Where is Harlow? 
 Harlow has resonated, has been clubbed over the head and dragged away in the snow by someone. Does this remind you something? Who else has kidnapped his girl? Raahosh, anyone? Apparently the kidnapping approach runs in the family. 
 Rukh is a nice blue alien. He is a bit smelly and dirty; he does not know how to speak; he is naked continuously; he does not use fire and blankets and he does not understand resonating. 
 But he is a true virgin, well-equipped and he belongs totally to Harlow. Her own personal Tarzan. 
 Harlow has a second chance in this unfriendly, icy planet. She used to suffer from a terminal illness. She only had a few months to live. Her cootie has solved this. Now she is well and happy. She wants to celebrate life and to help everyone in the tribe. That is until Ruhn stole her and as a result he becomes her personal project. 
 Before they become lovers and mates, Harlow will be his mommy. Ruhn is a blank slate. She will teach him to talk, to light fires and to take a bath after years of accumulated dirt - actually he is a very dirty alien, literally. I was counting the days until he finally takes a bath. Finally she will teach him what resonating means and how babies (kits, for the alien speaking readers) are made. 
 "Rukh mate. This purr-purr-purr? This means 'mate'. No purr-purr, no mate." 
 Isolated and far away from the tribe, Harlow sees the ocean for first time and she decides to thank cootie and to become a mother. She is healthy and alive. She feels only gratitude and love for Ruhn. 
 Unfortunately, their personal paradise will be violated when the blue barbarian tribe will appear one day on their doorstep. Moreover, there is something wrong with Harlow's pregnancy that she refuses to acknowledge. 
 It is time : 
 -For changing of scenery 
 -For the lost members of a family to come together 
 -For some ugly truths to come out 
 -For Ruhn and Harlow to set their priorities in life 
 -For some new babies to be around at last 
 This was the most emotional book so far in the series. 
 I absolutely loved Harlow, the survivor and Ruhn, the abandoned blue barbarian who grew up alone. 
 They will have each other and they will be family together. Amazing feelings for these two lost souls.
