I’m sorry but you go to an alien planet that apparently prioritizes the happiness and wellbeing of the women and then proceed to have the MC get laser hair removal surgery as well as a fucking boob job for her “saggy” tits, go to fucking hell. Not to mention the weird borderline forced sex that the men have to go through but it’s okay because they can simply choose not to (As if their whole society doesn’t revolve around these women and increasing the birth rate therefore meaning the men would be pressured to have sex with strangers or else be ostracized. Can’t believe I’m defending the men in this book.
Whohoo! This book is really good!

I was in a reading slump, more specifically, alien romance reading slump. I browsed through many, many books and nothing caught my interest other than Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarians but this book just made my day!
I was hooked from the first page because Jade had realistic reactions to everything that happened around her and at the same time, it never felt lackluster.
I also loved the world-building by the author and Clecania sounds absolutely amazing! What really caught me by surprise was the way the planet functioned, and it's not a bad surprise in any sort of way.
Mainly, the plot was unpredictable except for the fact that you'd know that it would lead to a HEA. Loved that too! Most of the novels under this genre would follow the same storyline:-
Heroine gets abducted > Is on a strange planet > Hero rescues her > Face some drama on that planet > Solve the problem > HEA.
But this book broke that chain and now I'm in awe. I could rant on and on for pages but suffice to say, you're missing out if you don't read this. This book was right up my alley and I'd definitely re-read it.
Fabulous FL *check*
Broody hero *check*
Marvelous world-building *check*
Good start to a series *check*
HEA *check*
