Compared to End of Story, this was a very welcome change! This series has been on my TBR for a while but I wasn't motivated enough to start the series.

Monster/Alien Romances are not new to me so there were only a few elements in this book that were new to me. Would I have preferred a bit more of a fight from the human characters being stuck on this planet and meeting new aliens after being abducted? Heck, yeah. But good overall.

TLDR: Silly and sexy and dumb in all the right ways. Like cotton candy in book form.

Other than the rape in the first chapter, which seems to be a misguided attempt to establish stakes, this is a goofy, fluffy, funny little novel that is exactly what you would expect from the cover and title. Human women get stranded on ice planet, one of them gets picked up by a 7-foot-tall blue alien who sees her as his mate, hilarity and sexual escapades ensue.

The locals have very few women, so they're thrilled, which could have gone in a terrible direction, but they're all very respectful and consenty and concerned that their ladies are probably going to die because they're so soft and weak. It's a species of Wife Guys, but like, in a good way.

I'm not super into the pregnancy angle at the end or the fact that the main pair are scientifically fated to be mated, but again, the book is generally so silly and such an obvious fantasy that it's hard to be mad.
