Ice Planet Barbarian by Ruby Dixon | Book Review

Publication Date:  April 3rd 2015

Genre: Adult, Sci-fi, Paranormal Romance

Source: Hoopla

Synopsis:

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…

This is a book based on 20 something females kidnapped by aliens and taken to an unknown Ice Planet to stumble upon a blue alien species called the Sa-khui. This alien/human almost erotica story was one of the strangest books I think I have ever read, but I am not even mad about it. Ruby Dixon has created an entertaining, weird series that has some sexy/hot romance, barbarian aliens and human females that know must learn how to live in a different planet with a whole style of living/way of life. 

“Yesterday? I didn’t believe in aliens. But that was yesterday.”

After being kidnapped and left on a planet after engine failure, the girls must figure out how to find food, warmth and a way home. Georgie goes off to explore this new place when she stumbles upon a large blue alien with horns, who has taken a liking to her. This first book in this odd scifi alien/human romance focuses on the relationship between Georgie and Vektal, while also setting the scene for what happened to the females and the planet they have now landed on. 

We learn about the Sa-Khui and a little bit of their history and also how they survive on this freezing cold, desolate planet. While Vektal is determined to make Georgie his mate, her main mission is to save the other females. But with the persistence of Vektal and the mystery of the blue rigged, horned blue male alien, Georgie is swept into the thralls of Vektals manhood. Dixon stirs up some hot scenes that have you question your own thoughts on this interspecies sexual encounters. They are steamy and just WOW! 

The girls in order to be saved must make a very important decision and towards the end you are cheering them on to make the decision to stay with these hot sexy aliens! 

“I feel like there’s an alien bingo card somewhere that just got checked off. Horns? Check. Tail? Check. Crazy-ass cock? Check check check.”

Overall, this book was a strange and quirky, sometimes cheesy story that had some hot sex scenes and was just downright entertaining. I was giggling and laughing quite a bit throughout this book. It was a short read that I flew through and although I feel like slight trash, I need to devour this whole series. Dixon creates a story that does romance real well, while making it entertaining. She showcases fierce females that stand up for what they believe in and do not let the male force them into something they do not want. That is real refreshing to see in romance novels and very important to show that females can be sexual beings while doing it with consent and under their terms!
