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.

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).

Who?…What?….WHY?!!! I’ve read some strange things but I can not understand how so many people are in love with this series. 
I feel like if this had started off differently. A better sense of the world it takes place in, that it MIGHT have been better and more appealing. If in the book universe perhaps there was already knowledge of other universes with life. I know that would change the story, but maybe it would have been for the better. The repetitive nature of the language and long periods of lack of communication were tedious. I listened to the audio book and the voiceover work was comical and ridiculous.  The whole thing was so bad it was comical.

This was my first Alien romance, so at first I was like It was a fun read, I did not take this book seriously. so I think I gave it a 2.5 stars. Now I'm kind of down this rabbit hole where I absolutely love these books.
