I mean.... I was entertained.  It's not for me. Maybe check it out if you're looking for a *fast-paced* romance between big strong possessive dumb (alien) man and strong-willed feeble (human) girl.   I was actually into the world-building the very very few times the flora, fauna, or lore was described. That was a surprising plus. 
  I would have been a little bit more generous on the star rating if not for the violence in the first chapter.   It was a lazy and  borderline offensive way to raise the stakes in an otherwise unserious story.

In the special addition, the author removes description of the rape in the first chapter but it is still made clear what it happening and it is still very disturbing.

Really exceeded my expectations. I borrowed it from the library out of curiosity and I thought it was going to be really bad / goofy / cringe-y.

There's an actual plot in addition to all the sex scenes and I thought it was really well written for this type of book. It was funny and felt grounded in the world building. The SciFi elements were well done. The tension and stakes were good as well. Also the audiobook acting was really good!

Fyi when I rate books I only take points away when something bothered me about the book/ I think it should've done something differently/ there was something about it I didn't enjoy. So in my opinion this is a 5/5 because I didn't have any notes for doing any of it differently and I enjoyed reading it. 

Trigger warning

there's one short disturbing, rape scene at the beginning  rape  by "bad aliens" not the titular ice planet barbarians.

I knew I would love the pairing in this story, but I did not anticipate how much it would grip me! A perfect, comfy read to pass the time. The characters were easy to get along with, and fun to follow through their unexpected journey. The walking alien sex toy was surprisingly heartwarming, and I will certainly be returning to the series.
