About this listen
It's hard to make friends with the other women at the Icehome camp when you'd rather be dissecting the local fauna. Which is why I'm surprised when one of the big, brawny islanders asks me to help him make a prosthetic leg. I don't know N'dek, but since I'm a scientist, he wants my help. And while I'm more into dinosaurs than anatomy, I love a challenge.
As we work together, I come to see that N'dek's not just clever and determined, he's also protective and sweet. And he kisses like a fiend.
He's a distraction I don't need...but he might be everything I've ever wanted. Too bad he says he's going to resonate to someone else.
Contains mature themes.

Story
Crulden the Ruiner is the name of a fierce gladiator who's broken the rules...and broken anyone who approaches. It's my name. It's a name that strikes fear into the hearts of all...all except the small human female who comes to clean my cell and glares at me the entire time. My new owners want things from me. They want me to play in their games. They want me to win battles for them. Well, I know what I want in return. I want her. And I don't care who I have to destroy to get her.

The three va Sithai brothers - that's us - cruise the universe looking for abandoned ships, treasure, and other pirate ships to rob. Right now, we're on the hunt for the Buoyant Star, an abandoned cruiser rumored to have a massive treasure inside. The ship's been found at the edge of an ice field at the far reaches of space. That treasure? About to be all ours. But the ship's not all that abandoned. The Star is crewed by a few lonely, attractive human females who are thoroughly grateful at being rescued. Actually, wait. They're not grateful at all.

Being kidnapped by aliens is one thing. Being kidnapped by aliens and sent to a prison planet is something infinitely worse. Here in Haven’s prison system, I’m stranded among strangers, enemies, and the most ruthless criminals in the galaxy. There’s no safety for a human woman here, especially not one branded as a murderer. I’m doomed to a fate worse than death. Then, he decides I should be his. His name’s Jutari. He’s seven feet tall, blue, and horned.

Crulden the Ruiner is the most dangerous gladiator in the galaxy. I'm his clone—equally ugly, equally dangerous, and just as feared. I'm also being held captive, since no one trusts a creature like me to be let loose. A curvy, determined human named Bee doesn't think I'm a creature, though. In fact, she thinks I just need a guide. She's got half the males on this planet eating out of her hand, and she's confident she can do the same with me. The managing little female has no idea what she's in for.

As a third daughter on the farming colony of Meterion, Susan’s future prospects aren’t too promising. A pretty face, top-notch skills, and hard work mean nothing if your dowry doesn’t include fertile lands. With her 25th birthday approaching, and no suitors, her only way out is to settle for an arranged marriage through the PMA - the Prime Mating Agency. She just never expected to be paired with a grumpy, massive lizardman, and above all not to grow so fond of his scales and quirky ways.

We’d heard rumors about the Vandar raiders — everyone in the galaxy had. Terrifying and ruthless, they were a scourge on the Zagrath empire and destroyed everything in their path. Few had actually laid eyes on the Vandar or the notorious warlords who led their fleets of warships — and survived to talk about it. So, when the ruthless aliens boarded our ship intent on destroying it and killing the crew, I did the only thing I could do. I gave myself to the dark and menacing warlord.

As the first humans allowed in Suevan space, there’s a lot riding on my all-woman team. Earth desperately needs their tech, and I’m determined to prove we can negotiate the price. Without their planetary defense systems, Earth is a sitting duck, ripe for invasion. Except the Suevan culture is nothing like ours. When I take part in what I think is a welcoming ceremony, I leave with more than I bargained for: a husband. A mate. Apparently, we’re there to marry them as payment—something the top brass on Earth doesn’t bother denying. Fantastic.

Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations.

Another good story!
The following ratings are out of 5:
Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙
Romance: 💚🖤💙💜❤️
Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📘📔
World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌏
Character development: 😌😎🙃😮
The heroine: Devi - she is a paleophysiologist and is very interested in the flora and fauna of her new world. She is a bit of a loner and likes to spend her time on the beach dissecting the animals she finds and the ones that are washed up on the beach.
The Hero(es): N’Dek - he is of the strong arm clan, which means he has 4 arms. He was injured back home and lost part of one leg below the knee. He has been kind of a grouch and a bit lazy, feeling sorry for himself because he was such a strong hunter and he felt that he couldn’t contribute anymore.
The Story: N’Dek sees that Devi is intelligent and asks her if she can make him some sort of prosthetic leg. He doesn’t want anyone else to know in case it doesn’t work out. So after everyone else goes to bed, the two of them work together on their project and get to know each other.
After Bridget makes an offhand remark, N’Dek thinks he will soon resonate and he figures it will be with Bridget. He wants to know more about human females so that when he does resonate he will know how to please her, so he asks Devi about humans. They talk more and more each night and get closer.
These two were very cute together and I liked the romance between them. I liked how N’Dek is surprised that Devi doesn’t look at him like he is less of a man. Devi is such a nerdy girl that she is adorable, especially when she starts talking about the animals she dissects.
Like the rest in the series, this book was told in dual points of view via dual narration. The narrators are Sean Crisden and Felicity Munroe. Felicity’s voice is perfect for Devi and especially cute when she goes on and on about her work on the beach. Sean has a nice deep voice and his pitch and cadence work well for the alien males.

Listen to these narrators!
This Ruby Dixon story, Devi's Distraction, is a chapter in an ongoing series about human women and the blue barbarians who love them passionately.
This author is one of the most talented I've read. The wonderful thing about Ruby's books is that every new story in the series is honestly just as great or better than the ones prior. Devi's Distraction comes from an original perspective on living on Icehome that I recommended to my friends and family in love with Ruby Dixon books.
Devi is a scientist that everyone thinks is weird. She chooses to focus her powerful intellect on excitedly discovering everything she can on this new world.
N'Dek is one of the islanders with four arms from the Strong Arm clan. Recently recovered from losing the lower part of his leg, he is wallowing in self pity until he talks to Devi. Having her treat him like a normal male helps him rediscover his confidence.
This story has been one of my favorites since first published on Kindle and I love, love, these narrators! Sean Chrisden has the low, growly voice for N'Dek that's so sexy and perfect! Felicity Monroe's performance of Devi and her distracted, excited and fast speech was so wonderful! Just an awesome listen, all the way!

Loved this book
This book was a great breakup of the typical stolen away, I hate my mate book. The mfc was super smart and loved her time on the ice planet. The mmc was able to work through some of his worry while having a disability. Overall a great change in the IPB series.

Awwwwwww N'dek finds his purpose!
I liked that N'dek found love . . . And that it was with a brown girl. A scientist at that. Devi is probably my favorite of the Icehome women and I'm glad that she is non-judgmental. She is the perfect female for N'dek.

Why must nerd always go with virgin?
This far into the spinoff series, I’m pickier about which couples speak to me. I liked both Devi and N’Dek.
I loved the story of N’Dek rising above the recent loss of his leg, especially with the help of Devi’s keen mind and ingenuity. I love that Devi is a smart Indian woman who nerds out over science and embraces the strange new world she’s found herself in.
I’m a little exasperated that, yet again being a nerd equates to being socially awkward and worse: untouched. Why can’t a girl be both book smart and sex smart? Thankfully, Devi approaches sex with scientific curiosity, which for her means with gusto.
The other disappointment is Mr. Crisden’s narration. His female voices make me shudder and his male voices are inconsistent. I feel like he tries to imitate the sexy beast voicing of Mason Lloyd, the male narrator for the original IPB series. But, unless he’s voicing the extra beauty males like Gren, Mr. Crisden’s version of the “typical” sexy beasts living in Icehome sounds like Count Chocula. When he narrates N’Dek more like an average guy, the voicing works much better for me. Luckily, the Count accent fades as the book progresses, allowing for better immersion into the darling romance between two great characters.

Love this match up
This is why Ruby Dixon is a great author - I never would have put these two characters together but it was just perfect. I loved the story, the humor, the drama and how each character accepts the other as is with all their quirks. I was not crazy about the narrator and think I'll have to switch to reading these instead of the audible version. The accents are awful and detract from the story in my mind. They make the males sound like caveman/Russian thugs and the women sound like the old valley girl accents. I don't think she's a bad narrator, but the alien genre is not her forte. I think I'd like her more if it was a contemporary romance without all the accents. I miss the narrators from the original series, they were so much better with this genre and made each person an individual without making them seem so flat.
