Listen. Porn is a crowd-pleaser. I am crowd. But this? No one actually wants a horse’s peen. This was Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo bad. Are y’all okay? I mean…do your thing. But surprise pregnancy is about the furthest from sexy I can imagine. I read the whole thing though so I guess there’s that.

Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon is the first novel in the Ice Planet Barbarians romantic sci-fi series, and it's a book that I'm disappointed in. Trigger warnings in this book include; gang rape, dubious consent, and
Within the first 7% of the this book the author writes in a minor character who's only purpose in this story is to be the victim of alien gang rape (that is an on page scene) and then she dies off page and is found frozen in this snow later.
When Viktal (the sexy barbarian) first meets Georgie, our protagonist, he instantly sticks his face in her privates and begins giving her oral without consent? The Georgie makes a joke about how she should be worried about being raped but instead she can't stop laughing at how ticklish everything is. Wow. Okay.
I really had high hopes for this series, I thought I would like it but I couldn't even get 7% of the way through without wanting to DNF this shit. Well I finished it and it didn't get much better.
It's unfortunate that I didn't like this book that much because Viktal and Georgie were cute together.
I'm giving this 2 stars out of 5, as I had a hard time enjoying this.
⭐️⭐️ 2/5 Stars

I absolutely hate pregnancy tropes so this explains why I didn't care for the ending very much.It's unfortunate that I didn't like this book that much because Viktal and Georgie were cute together.

3.0
review is based on the digital version + the honeymoon short story bc i was not about to buy the actual book
not only was this just the author projecting her monsterfucker fantasy onto these characters, but it contained a very stereotypical kidnapping by green aliens, quite a bit of sexual assault and borderline cnc, falling for each other in less than three days, unintentionally baby trapping(?), a really cheap cop out of a language barrier, entirely too many star wars references, a variety of phrases i did not want to read, and mediocre smut. also his skin feels like suede ?? i have not been able to move past that.
also, the epilogue felt weirdly out of character. miss maam barely cared about the girls when they initially died and suddenly she has survivors guilt ?? would’ve been a better plot point had it been in the actual book.
unfortunately, i will be reading the rest of them.

This book needs to be longer, but this series is 21 books deep so I'll let that go.
Also, this book contains topics that I'm not comfortable reading so that's why it's marked lower.
But Georgie is great and Vektal is a cinnamon roll. Will be continuing the series!
