The content warnings were not sufficient for the first part of this book. Everyone has their own kinks but this is not how I want my smut to start.

CW for the first 40 pages: drugged, rape, abduction, excrement, violence, murder, blood, injury, trafficking, death, confinement

I absolutely loved everything about this book! I have never in my life. Read a book that was this short, but had this level of world building and character development. Plus, I haven't laughed that hard in such a long time.

Overall the book was meh. I enjoyed the more survival focused bits of the book and the communication barrier between the humans and the aliens.

The sex scenes were...not my cup of tea. They were very...you know when you are making fun of bad heterosexual erotica and how to guy has a 20ft dick and the woman orgasms in 2 seconds? That's what it seemed to be.

Also, I'm assuming this is a fault of the platform I listened to the audiobook (spotify) and not the actual book, but content warnings were not read. Which meant that in the first chunk of the book, I was suddenly thrust into a r*pe scene of a background character by, for lack of a better term, prison guard. I was not prepared AT ALL for that and although it didn't go into much detail--it was still a jarring scene to listen to when doing my dishes!

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!

5.0

Ice Planet Barbarians is an enthralling and unconventional sci-fi romance that will sweep readers away to a captivating world of ice and adventure. Stranded on a harsh and desolate planet, a group of human women find themselves rescued by a tribe of hulking, blue-skinned alien warriors. Dixon masterfully crafts a tale of survival, love, and discovery as the protagonists navigate cultural differences, intense attraction, and the dangerous secrets of their new home.
