I am looking ✨respectfully✨. If you see me continuing with this series - no you didn’t 👀

Ok but actually why was this actually a super fun little book? It is definitely quite spicy 🌶️  but the worldbuilding & the plot were actually so much more developed than I gave them credit for?! It’s funny, it’s fluffy, it’s RESPECTFUL. Ruby Dixon, I am sorry for ever doubting you or your fans. I have learnt my ways.

Definitely not a read to take too seriously, but if you are in a slump, and want a spicy, bizarre tale - IPB could be for you. 

‼️TW ‼️ for assault, dubious consent & kidnapping (trafficking?) for the first scene setting chapter, but the rest of the book has less of a dark tone.

I think the teachers who taught me how to read as a child would be disappointed in the things I choose to read as an adult. Let them be disappointed. 3/5

Not as bad as I was expecting. I mostly read this as a random palate cleanser from reading a really intense series, and I needed something I wouldn't have to get too invested in. This was a good 3 star read, just average at best but not mindblowingly the best thing I've ever read. I enjoyed it for what it was.

In the beginning with the abduction of the girls and then the rape of one of them, I very nearly stopped reading because I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with that type of story. Thankfully it didn't continue, and by the time everyone crash landed on the ice planet, it turned more into a survival story with a bit of smut included. I think I mostly stayed bc the aliens in this story weren't horrible.

There were some points of convenience, but it got the story through what it was meant to be. So yknow, good enough. I knew what I was signing up for.

Solid 3/5, just average and a good thoughtless time
