Let's be honest, this is a great introduction to a fun series about blue skinned aliens mating with humans who were "lucky" enough to get stranded on a frozen ice planet in the middle of nowhere, after they were initially being kidnapped and abused by different sets of aliens. But as romance between Georgie, one of the abducted women and de facto leader of the group, and Vektal, an actual leader of the blue skinned aliens, it was somewhat boring relying too much on sex scenes between characters for my taste.

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 stars

Why did I enjoy this book? 😅

✨ Spoilers ✨
I mean there were things I didn’t enjoy. I’d recommend skipping THAT scene right at the start (it destroys the tone of the book - checks TWs). There’s insta love, a pregnancy trope and it’s all around a bit weird. 🤔

But, I couldn’t help but speed read this in a day. It was quite refreshing after some pretty heavy chunky reads. I’ve never read anything like it. Turns out alien smut isn’t a total no - who knew? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also shout out to the illustrator of these covers - absolutely stunning 🏔️

This book made me realize that I am living my best cliche middle aged white lady life with my glass of wine and spicy book and I couldn’t be happier. I loved it :)

This was a fun, weird, easy read. I got through it in one day. Not sure I’ll ever read it again, haha, but it kept me entertained while I’m laid up with an injury. The romance was quite a bit heavier on the sexy side than the romantic side, which isn’t necessarily my preference, so take that as you will. Be forewarned that there are some elements of non-consensual intimacy in this book, and even a (non-descriptive) r*pe (not between any main characters). The main character’s first interaction with her love interest is him giving her or*l as she wakes up from being unconscious. However, it is framed as a very sexy interaction, and the heroine enjoys it. Again, take that as you will. The story is so ridiculous in every way, that I decided not to take it too seriously, and I had a generally good time with it. Overall, based on my usual rating criteria, I gave this book 2.75 ⭐️. However, because I enjoyed the book, I bumped it up to 3 ⭐️, because I never give books I enjoy under 3⭐️. 
Tldr: Liked it, didn’t love it. It’s fun and silly—but check TWs!!!
