Entertaining and short. The world building was definitely there, but the length of the book was short because it touched but didn't delve into some topics that would make the book a lot darker - like Georgie's worry about the family and friends she left behind, or thoughts of returning home. 

CW/TW: the rape scene is in the beginning, was easy to skip over, and then was only mentioned a few times. This topic was not written about in depth after it occurred on page.

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.

gisellefonseca's review against another edition

fast-paced

3.0

review is based on the digital version + the honeymoon short story bc i was not about to buy the actual book

not only was this just the author projecting her monsterfucker fantasy onto these characters, but it contained a very stereotypical kidnapping by green aliens, quite a bit of sexual assault and borderline cnc, falling for each other in less than three days, unintentionally baby trapping(?), a really cheap cop out of a language barrier, entirely too many star wars references, a variety of phrases i did not want to read, and mediocre smut. also his skin feels like suede ?? i have not been able to move past that. 

also, the epilogue felt weirdly out of character. miss maam barely cared about the girls when they initially died and suddenly she has survivors guilt ?? would’ve been a better plot point had it been in the actual book. 

unfortunately, i will be reading the rest of them.

4.0

A friend of mine has been a fan of this series for years and I finally decided to give it a try. I was surprised how much fun this book was to read! The mixture of fluff, smut, adventure, and humor is a slam dunk. After spending the past month in the trenches of reading dark romances, it’s so refreshing that the lead couple actually likes each other.

I’m not normally a fan of science fiction (particularly because the intense world building can be so overwhelming when starting a new series), but the gradual build up of the story makes this novel’s setting an easy one to explore and get lost in.

TL;DR: Loved it and downloading book 2 as I type
