Okay yes. I read this. We don't need to judge here. Goodreads is a no judgment zone. unless you're attracted to Edward Cullen, then I'm judging you. And besides, I know for a fact you have read it to. Don't even lie about it. You also have gotten into the blue alien craze.
But I'm not gonna rate this book. Did I love this alien smut book? Did I hate it? That is for and only me to know. It's none of your business.
2.5 No estuvo taan mal, tiene un poco de trama al menos jajajaja y si me tuvo medio intrigada todo el tema del rescate y la nave alien. Lo demás, es un romance spicy promedio, es entretenido, rápido de leer, super cringe, no es mi estilo pero entiendo a quien le gusta.

It kind of got boring after the first sexy time. I just wanted to know more about the planet, its pink trees and scary wildlife.
Also the barefoot and pregnant line and pairing off, meh, not for me.
The author's got talent and it wasn't bad, just not FOR ME.
However, I will not judge you unless you read CH books.
Possible spoilers?
I'm actually shocked with how much I enjoyed this book. I knew I would like it, but I'm used to these books being all about the smut, and while there is plenty of it - I felt totally captured by this story! I fell in love with Georgie and Vektal. He was such a sweetheart and her quick, witty comments made me laugh. I was rooting for them to be together from the get-go, and I only hoped for it even more as I kept reading.
There is a tough part in the beginning, so please be mindful of your triggers, but it does not carry throughout the storyline.
I'm about 4 years late to the party but I finally read it. I rated it 3.5 stars. It's not a masterpiece but I grabbed it for camping and I was thoroughly entertained. All characters were great. This is a definite fluff read and that's totally ok!
DNF'd it at about 50%. Don't get me wrong, I love a good large blue alien romance as much as the next person but this one did not hit the spot for me. Did not feel any connection between the two main characters that made me want to stick around for the whole book.
Ya I'm rating it 4 stars and I have no regrets about it
Well described world building but still easy to follow
I didn't expect to enjoy this alien romance as much I did! I was apprehensive because alien romances aren't my thing. And I've heard booktubers talk about the start of the book being really traumatic But I'm glad that I took the chance and pushed through. Georgie and Vektal's relationship was the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and savory. The writitng was pretty good too, there were funny and sweet moments.
I'll definitely keep reading the series but not all 20+ books.
Estoy extrañamente enganchada con esta saga, leí lo que creo que es un spin off de esta y me decidi a leer la saga completa, encuentro al spin off y este primer libro con similitudes demasiado claras, pero le doy 3 estrellas por como me entretiene leer a un hombre sirviendo a una mujer, nada mas que por eso
honestly i was prepared to give this 1 or 2 stars but i read it all in one sitting so i feel like it deserves 3 for keeping my attention.
3.5 Stars
k. so. i only read this right now because it was short and i wanted to round my year off on a nice even number. and honestly? this somehow isn't the worst thing i've ever read.
this isn't my first rodeo with monster romance however it is my first officially published one. i went in expecting trashy wattpad-style romance and ended up surprised at how not-trashy wattpad-style romance as i thought it was. very happy to say that ruby dixon can write better than most teenage girls on wattpad. (if only it weren't for those atrocious kindle covers lmao.)
tl;dr it wasn't awful and i have no major complaints.
i kinda do want to read more of the series tho. just for funsies. :)

When I first picked up “Ice Planet Barbarians,” I'll admit it was more for a laugh than anything else. The title alone promised a blend of sci-fi and smut that I expected to be more amusing than anything. However, what I found was a story that was surprisingly engaging and well-crafted.
The book takes us on a journey to a distant, icy planet, where the human protagonist finds herself in the company of towering, blue-skinned alien warriors. The initial premise may sound like standard science fiction erotica fare, but there's more depth here than meets the eye.
One of the book's strengths is its character development. The protagonists are well fleshed out, with personalities and backstories that add layers to the narrative. The alien characters, in particular, are intriguingly alien yet relatable, making their interactions with the human characters both exotic and believable.
The romantic and erotic elements of the story are, of course, central to its appeal. These scenes are written with a fiery intensity that captures the primal, passionate nature of the relationships developing amidst a harsh, unforgiving environment. However, what surprised me was the tenderness and care interwoven with the more steamy scenes, adding a level of emotional depth that is often missing in smut.
The plot itself, while straightforward, is engaging. It balances action, romance, and a bit of humor, keeping the pace brisk and the narrative interesting. The world-building is another highlight, with the alien planet rendered in vivid detail that immerses the reader in its icy, dangerous beauty.
Moreover, “Ice Planet Barbarians” touches on themes like survival, belonging, and the power of connection in the face of adversity. It's not just about the erotic encounters; it's also about finding love and companionship in the most unexpected places.
In conclusion, “Ice Planet Barbarians” turned out to be more than just a guilty pleasure read. It was a pleasantly surprising journey that combined steamy, passionate scenes with strong character development and a captivating storyline. For those who enjoy their romance novels with a side of interstellar adventure, this book is a surprisingly compelling read.
Such a fun read. This is my first foray into sci-fi romance and I can tell you know that I'm obsessed with this tribe already.
I liked it, but the beginning was hard to get through, the communication issues got a little bit boring for me, and the episode with the AI and the computer made me roll my eyes. But, it was cute to have a cinnamon roll as the hero and the main characters were a great match and cute together. Also, this book got me seriously interested in more sci-fi inter-species romance hu hu hu.
