Not as bad as I was expecting. I mostly read this as a random palate cleanser from reading a really intense series, and I needed something I wouldn't have to get too invested in. This was a good 3 star read, just average at best but not mindblowingly the best thing I've ever read. I enjoyed it for what it was.

In the beginning with the abduction of the girls and then the rape of one of them, I very nearly stopped reading because I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with that type of story. Thankfully it didn't continue, and by the time everyone crash landed on the ice planet, it turned more into a survival story with a bit of smut included. I think I mostly stayed bc the aliens in this story weren't horrible.

There were some points of convenience, but it got the story through what it was meant to be. So yknow, good enough. I knew what I was signing up for.

Solid 3/5, just average and a good thoughtless time

Hmmmm. I was hoping to like this but I didn't have the best time. Setting the stakes so high in the beginning makes the unfortunately genre typical lapses in consent way less bearable. I did like the comedic elements and the spice but overall there were too many tropes that were very much not for me.

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!!!

Not a fan of the very beginning personally. A lot of “rape, rape, rape.” Other than that, it’s not terrible. I actually enjoyed the writing, and the plot is better than other erotic stories I’ve read! Honestly, the sex scenes weren’t even that overwhelming. Of course it’s fan service-y, but it didn’t overwhelm me (who was seeking a good erotic story with steam and plot).

I can definitely see what all the rage was about. Dixon has managed to create the perfect setting for barbarian romances with a fun sci-fi twist. I’m curious to see where it leads.
