We're kind of running into the problem of very similar, muscled, personality-free alien main male characters in this series, especially the guys who escaped slavery. I'm still here for the plot and the ice planet. 

TW/CW rape details to help you decide if you want to read this:
there is no rape on page, just the possibility that it happened while the mfc was unconscious because she woke up pregnant. After the baby is born, she finds out she was not raped with a man's body, but a fertilized egg was implanted without her knowledge or consent while she was unconscious.

This was a really sweet story. Vordis and Angie are so sweet together. 

I love how Vordis wants and loves Angie even though she's already pregnant. And I loved how once Angie gives birth he that's Angie's daughter at his own, despite having never been around children, and how he immediately loves and wants to protect her daughter. 

I really enjoyed seeing how they navigate their relationship with Angie being pregnant and Vordis being a clone and having Thrand, his "brother" turn everything Vordis does for Angie into a competition. 

I really enjoyed the fact that this I've was more of a sweet story than a sexually packed story like some of the other books in the series. In fact I probably would've been fine if there were no sexual scenes in this one, even though I enjoyed the small scenes we did get in this.

I did get a little bored near the end of this book but it's not so bad that it would take me out of the story. Overall this was a pretty enjoyable read.
