Padilla’s barbarian series (No-So-Savage Barbarians and Savagely Sweet Barbadians) are a guilty pleasure of mine. They are short, sweet stories about a clan of barbarians finding their bond mates.

Braum is just a shy, gentle giant that’s resigned to being alone. But who better to show him he can find happiness than his friend that he happens to have to share a tent with?

“I understand your concern. It is a little… odd, to think about sticking a cock there.”

“Sticking a cock… where?”

This is a friends to lovers romance with very little angst. Just sweet and simple.
