Im reviewing this after reading this for the second time. I absolutely adore this entire series. This has the fated mates trope with aliens that inspired the myths on earth (dragons, fae, vampires, werewolves). I think it’s such a good concept to blend fantasy with sci-fi!

These books are so easy to read and you can finish them quickly since they are so short. I find myself re reading them whenever I need to comfort.

The writing is a little repetitive, since I’ve noticed that multiple phrases are repeated. But honestly, it’s such a small thing that doesn’t really matter that much to me since I adore the story so much.

I have fallen in love with these protective aliens who would do anything for their mates. And I fall in love with them all over again each time I read these books.

I'm a fan of Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet series. The humans stranded on an ice planet theme is here, but instead of one race of people we get several. They males are also stranded and resemble creatures from human myth; vampires, dragons, werewolves, fae, etc.
A series is already planned out to explore each of the cultures. I have my ticket for this crazy train in hand!

2.5 Stars

New author to me. Solid writing. Decent world building. Intriguing. But because I'm a picky reader it wasn't even a 3 star read for me.

It had all the usual moving parts and like I mentioned above it was intriguing. Tons of potential. I think my biggest issue with the book was the length. Because the book wasn't as long as most paranormal books it suffered from feeling too fast paced. We didn't get much action going on because of this. And I suppose it messed with the MCs relationship progression a bit too.

I wasn't really feeling the mate bond between Markus and Lara. They were cute...well Markus was cute. Lara was simply ok. She pulled the usual role in these tropes and suddenly becomes the stubborn refuses to be left being female and quasi leader for her humans. Expected? Yes. Was it a good look on her? Eh, not really.

Markus as I said was quite cute with his thoughts and preening for her. Truthfully he was just TOO nice for my personal tastes. So polite and respectful. Meh, I expected more edginess with the mate bond playing a part but it wasn't there. And while his backstory had some sad angsty tidbits due to the pacing of the story I didn't FEEL anything when it was revealed. Just learning facts.

OMG!!! I loved Markus and Lara. Lara is a human who was abducted while she was in stasis traveling between Mars and Earth. She has spent a lot of time as a blood slave, and is regularly in fear of her life. When the ship she is on crashes, she is rescued by a different type of alien, one who abhors the slavers.
Markus has been trapped on this ice planet for years after his space ship was sucked into a wormhole. He is originally from Mosaura, and is a mighty warrior, and a shifter able to take on a form similar to a dragon.
I appreciated that while they were very nervous about communicating about their attraction to each other, their communication in other areas was amazing and they worked hard not to have misunderstandings. Looking forward to reading more books in this series.

Not terrible, but very formulaic and nothing original.

Loved it!

Dangerously good

If you pick up this book make sure you have more then 15 minutes to read. This universe is soo good!

Good start to a recuse romance

Lars was like the others in cryptic sleep, then woken up into slavery, sold to vampiric aliens who are the worst species in their planetary system. This book as all of our beloved mythical monsters as aliens! Dragons, werewolves, elves. Vampires, etc. I cannot wait to read about the other alien saviors and the human survivors.
