You’re looking for more, however, aren’t you? You want to know why Ruby Dixon’s wildly successful series about a group of women who, after being kidnapped from Earth and imprisoned on a spaceship which then crashes, find themselves on an ice planet populated by large blue aliens, mostly male, all of whom are searching for true love, babies, and copious hot sex, have sold bazillions and been analyzed by luminaries such as CNN and countless blogs. Here’s my one sentence review of this book: “ Ice Planet Barbarians is predictable, ridiculous, and a damn good time.” ![]()

This is too light a read to worry about such deep topics (at the moment anyway). Particularly as it struck me that poor parenting might have been at least partly to blame.

One thing that stands out is that the author certainly has a way with words, despite the initial scenario requiring somewhat of a suspension of disbelief, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this boundary pushing, slightly (very?) dub-con, erotic romance. This can easily be read just as an erotic short story but if, like me, you become addicted to Jenny and Mark’s story it continues through 5 more books (8 if you count the Velvet series). I originally read this somewhere between 3 and 4 years ago, so I’d forgotten that it’s pretty short (27 pages), but since it was a freebie I’m not complaining. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity.
