Dixon's creative premise and attention to detail in crafting the Ice Planet setting drew me in from the start. The contrast between the human women and the alien barbarian men creates a dynamic that allows for both humor and heart.Georgie is a relatable and resilient heroine, adapting to her new surroundings while maintaining her sense of self. Vektal, though initially intimidating, proves to be a protective and caring partner, learning to understand and appreciate Georgie's human quirks.

I would like to start with that I liked the first book and thats all I've read so far, I would recommend.However, it was horribly frustrating and the main female character was not someone I related to much.I related to her as a reluctant leader with the heavy burden of responsibility, and her gradual feelings for her big blue alien mate...But the way she just left them to suffer in the cold and starving repeatedly pissed me off, she claimed to care but didn't really act like it. The way her and the others "weren't fighters" was hands down the most unrealistic thing ever. I know lots of "passive nonfighter" women and not a single one of them would have stood there and just let the one girl smash the head in of the one basketball head alien after they agreed to all pitch in and fight. And then all of them were just "so terrified" of this new planet!? Heck no, I'd be nervous sure but after the FMC was like these big blue dudes are friendly I'd be like hell yeah! And to get to see a giant alien monster! I'd be scared but more in a adrenaline rush kind of way than a sob myself to sleep way.Anyway I liked it, but just didn't vibe with the way they all reacted to situations

I picked up this book to start testing my English, and it was the best decision I ever made. I loved the book from beginning to end, and I won't add the next ones to the list.

Loves the pacing and the changing POVs, love the big hunky man tooThis is certainly the start of something great

This is really well written and though some may find the repeating of Vektal’s species differences on several occasions too much, I found it just right. I really enjoyed reading both Georgie and Vektal’s points of view and laughing as they tried to understand each other’s language.The world building in this book is brilliant considering how short it felt - I read the whole thing in one night! As soon as I finished I bought the second one because I need to know what happens next.I will say before you read the book, read the TW page if you have triggers, I don’t so I didn’t read them but looking over them afterwards I don’t think it will detract from the story to read them as the main ones happen right at the beginning of the book.SPOILERS:Georgie is minding her own business. She’s a drive through bank teller and leads a quiet life; until she’s abducted from her bed by aliens.Whilst held captive by the grey, and the ‘basket ball’ aliens, she is placed in a cage with others.The human women are all 22, single, not pregnant, and have no one close to them.After a horrific time aboard the spaceship, there’s some turbulence and the women and Georgie use the distraction to their advantage. Unfortunately, their cargo hold is sent on a crash landing towards an unknown planet - though the women hope it’s Earth.With all of them hurt to some degree, they find they’re on a mountain. The Gil is getting cold, there’s a crack in it which is letting in snow, and they have minimal rations. It’s decided Georgie, with her possibly broken ribs and wrist will be the one to trek out in the snow wearing the only clothing suitable enough for this cold environment.Outside the land is harsh and cold. Georgie begins heading down the mountain in the hope of finding civilisation, hopefully someone, some way, to help them get back to earth. What she finds is a strange alien planet with dangerous creatures. As she tries to escape she gets caught in a hunters trap.Hanging upside down, the blood rushing to her head and fear forcing her heart to pound, Georgie sees a big white furred creature heading for her as she blacks out…

I really liked this story. I think the storyline is good, deep enough but with erotic and spicy touches. I will definetly look at other stories from this author and I'll probably re-read this story many times!
