Review: I initially read Ice Planet Barbarians (the first in the series) and thought it was so entertaining! This is the second book in the series and follows Liz (one of the other abducted girls). Liz was probably one of my favorite characters in the initial book. I love her strength, feistiness, and cleverness.
I didn't love this book as much as the first. It's slightly more towards the Stockholm syndrome side and less instalove. I do appreciate that Liz eventually could see the good in Raahosh and that they stuck by each other, but the initial abduction and pushiness was awkward at times.
You kind of have to take these books for what they are: Comedic and crazy sci fi smut. They are short quick reads, with lots of spice and actually some romance, too.
