Georgie Carruthers wakes up in the hold of a spaceship, disoriented and nauseated. She and the other prisoners quickly learn their captors will keep them in line by any means necessary, and the captives are not sure if they’re going to be sold for sex or food…or both. So Georgie and the others plot to break free, but during their attempt, the aliens dump their cargo pod on the nearest planet. Good news: They’re free. Bad news: They’re all in ratty pajamas on an ice planet. Georgie goes in search of help and ends up captured by the tallest, bluest, horniest male she’s ever seen. Vektal has never seen such a tiny, pinkish female. Where are her horns? Her tail? Her symbiont? His symbiont is purring for his mate, and he has only a limited time to replace hers. So why does the stubborn female keep trying to go back up the mountain? Dixon’s self-published “Ice Planet Barbarians” series exploded across BookTok earlier this year, and the books’ popularity led to a print run of a special expanded edition with bonus materials and an exclusive epilogue. The author edited out a controversial rape scene that took place at the beginning of the ebook and has created a fully realized world, blending science fiction, fantasy, and romance that’s on the steamier side.
VERDICT Highly recommended for larger public libraries and where demand warrants.
