Ice Planet Barbarians #1

You'd think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you'd be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they've left their cargo of human women - including me - on an ice planet.

And the only native inhabitant I've met? He's big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me...

The Plot

Georgie wakes up after being abducted by aliens along with a bunch of other childless women the same age. One of the girls has a implant that allows her to understand their language and they find out they are to be sold. Some sort of emergency on board, causes the aliens to drop their cargo bay on a planet and return for it later. They decide they must escape and not wait around for them to return! Georgie is kind of the leader of the girls so she decides to go venture out to find help. She runs into Vektal who claims they are mates and destined to be together. They become friends….even closer…and when she gets the ability to understand his language they go back rescue the other girls. Georgie ends up falling in love with Vektal and gets a Khui so she can survive on the planet. 

So I am normally not a sci-if girl, but I couldn’t resist after I saw so many rave reviews of this series, so I gave it a shot. It took some getting used to (especially after engrossed in historical romance), but I really loved this book! Georgie’s sarcasm took some getting used to as well, but she grew on me. 

The Heroine

Georgie is tough and brave. Good heavens! She kept her head when she realized she was abducted, but also when she went out in search of food and help. She is feisty when she needs to be but level headed and a leader to all the other girls. 

The Hero

Vektal. Oh sweet Vektal. He was the best part of this whole book. He was basically obsessed with Georgie and in the sweetest way! He has been alone for so long and he was desperate to keep Georgie once he resonated with her. He teased her and she teased right back and it was adorable. He was patient waiting for Georgie to come around to the idea of being ‘mates’ but also with her wanting to stay with him instead of returning home. 

The Steam

Oh my. Yes. Lots and lots and lots of steam!
