Ok so I picked the book up because I am in a Ruby Dixon Ice Barbarian Facebook group and someone posted that this book is a copycat book of the blue alien hotness that is the ice barbarians but I mean it really wasn't. The aliens are blue sure but that's it.. There's only so many colors the aliens can be and green is just tacky and red is scary so blue is the perfect median shade. (did I really just ramble about colors?.. YUP)
Anyways so these women were taken from Earth (again I see the similarities but it's also a pretty popular alien trope) They take over the ship and crash on some random planet and the women get separated. Avery gets snatched up by Turic, our friendly blue alien. They don't speak the same language. And they sleep together pretty much immediately. But that's okay. The book is short and it was surprisingly really funny. Avery named one of the other aliens Cookie Monster and the aliens refer to themselves so he's all "Cookie monster will protect you with his life!" and then I'm falling out of my chair laughing.. Idk why that's so funny but it is. Avery is hilarious.
I will defiantly be reading the next one.

I picked this book up thanks to my book friend Jilly's review:
Jilly's Review
It was silly, it was funny, it was explicit! Definitely a book meant for adult audiences. The MC was ridiculous and weird. The love interest was a stupid, but really strong man. Add some weird space dinosaurs to it and it made for a hilarious albeit a quick ride.

So I accidentally managed to start rereading this after downloading on kindle unlimited again and as I gave it a second go through and appreciated this so much more this second time around so I am upping my rating slightly.
With a three-year gap between maybe, I'm just more attuned to embracing all that is weird and wonderful and this certainly has that in absolute spades no contest.
So brief recap Avery and her friend are kidnapped from a movie theatre (or cinema if your British like me) by aliens and not liking their current fate manage to hijack the spacecraft and with the assistance of an onboard robot Tom land it on the planet Zandipor.
Here they get chased by a vicious scary T-Rex fall into a dangerous raging river and get separated from each other.
Avery is then rescued from her dire fate by a massive brawny and blue alien native wannabe smurf called Turic.
So this was a really funny one that doesn't take itself to seriously, it was all very tongue in cheek almost slapstick at times and a whole lot of fun.
The Blue aliens are not the brightest bunch and that includes Turic.
But though he may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer he was extremely sweet even when he was over sharing also very enthusiastic to one and all, especially when discovering Avery's Culip and his heart was definitely in the right place.
This was surprisingly enjoyable but silly and definitely non-serious.

Kind of an anniversary read. Last April my love for mint chocolate chip ice cream ended abruptly. Thanks, Rod Holder! *shakes fist* But it was also the beginning of some treasured friendships. Like most friendships these days, it started with a genitally tentacled alien in need of some water. Or maybe that's just me. Anyways, all of us were already set on this path some time before. And I thought now would be a good time to briefly return to the blue side.
What is this blue side? you might ask. Well, it's pretty straightforward, actually. Just your regular romance plot, but with some especially colorful protagonists.
Okay, so this seems to be the way it usually goes: There's a group of female earthlings that gets abducted by some green aliens (for some reason they are always green). Said female earthlings are not too happy about it, and a bit of a tussle ensues. In all that chaos something goes wrong with the spaceship and the whole party has to land on some coveniently positioned planet, where, however, they face some rather unwelcoming circumstances. In this case here it's dinosaurs (yay!). But that foreign world is also inhabited by very gentle blue aliens (for some reason they are always blue) whose tribes happen to be short on females (of course). One of the earthlings and one of the aliens respectively get separated from the rest of their kind, and slowly (or actually rather quickly) they get pretty close with each other. But, as is often the case when you meet some alien friend for the first time, there's the problem of communication at first.
Yep, French is really pretty hard. Shortly after that point in the story other things get pretty hard as well, and also astonishingly big. An extended period of la copulation follows.
The blue ones might not speak English (or French) very well, but they still are extraordinarily gifted with their tongues. Add to that some quite unearthly sized and/or shaped appendages, and it will surely lead to several climaxes in the story. Now would be the point where mint chocolate chip ice cream might come into play. But here it does not. And anyway, for me that ship has sailed. Thanks, Rod Holder! *shakes fist*
Where was I? Ah, right, because of the female shortage on his planet the blue guy would love nothing more than to impregnate his precious earthling with his precious (and potentially very tasty) seed. This now, this is where the relationship might come to be seriously tested. But then again, they know each other for days already, so usually it is smooth sailing.
Obviously, now the blue guy wants to introduce his mate to his tribe. But remember, no females there. So of course this leads to a bit of a scramble. But, big surprise, here in this particular book it doesn't happen at all for the reasons I thought it would. In fact, Turic's tribe finds Avery not very desirable. And they are also kinda rude in expressing their distaste for her. But Turic, ever the gentleman, vigorously defends her pride.
D'aww! Such a sweetheart. But, yeah, Avery is right. This review also contains a little too much information already. So, nothing more about the story.
This book was funnier than [b: Ice Planet Barbarians|25128811|Ice Planet Barbarians (Ice Planet Barbarians, #1)|Ruby Dixon|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1551411246l/25128811._SX50_.jpg|44825213], but not necessarily better. During my first visit to the blue side I saw two characters that made for a pretty sweet couple. In spite of one of them having fangs, and horns, and a tail. But do some minor anatomical differences like these really matter that much? True love comes on the inside, right?! Turic, by the way, is much more human-like. What he has in common with Vektal is his blue skin, huge cock, and skilled tongue. But I liked Vektal and Georgie better together. They also had more of the nookie, which is pretty important for a book like this. This here of course has dinosaurs and quite some humorous bits. Though if you want to read something funny, that also has some human/alien, er, relations in it, I would still recommend Rod Holder’s [b: Water For Alien Were-Dinos|26220671|Water for Alien Were-Dinos (or E.T., The Extra Tentacle)|Rod Holder|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1441849628l/26220671._SY75_.jpg|46203505]. Unless you love mint chocolate chip ice cream and would really much rather have it stay that way.

He turns and frowns as he looks down at me. "Ratchata hurew?" he says.
"I don’t speak alien," I answer with a frustrated shake of my head. "I speak English and about ten words of French. Bonjour. Avion. Chaises."
He doesn't seem to understand French either. I'm not surprised. French is hard as shit.
Yep, French is really pretty hard. Shortly after that point in the story other things get pretty hard as well, and also astonishingly big. An extended period of la copulation follows.

"Avery may not be a Sandroka," Turic says, defending me. "But she is female. She has a culip. A beautiful culip that drips with sweetness and smells like the divine Cheecho herself. Turic drank her sweet nectar all of last night and this morning."
"Jesus, Turic," I whisper. "TMI."
D'aww! Such a sweetheart. But, yeah, Avery is right. This review also contains a little too much information already. So, nothing more about the story.

This was funny. I got this a long time ago when it was a freebie from amazon (now it is not but you can still borrow it if you have kindle unlimited) however I stopped reading this because of Ruby Dixon. She made a comment that her work has been copied and I thought this was it. However, after reading this, it doesn't seem like the case but I really don't know.
If you like IPB by Dixon, this is also worth a try. It is definitely funnier and things don't make sense but that is fine as well.
Look what amazing artwork I found to include here - Conan the barbarian
