Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - Ice Planet Barbarians

Originally read: July ‘21
Spice: 2.5 🌶

This is a reread since I bought the physical book with a new cover and I still love the relationship between Georgie and Vektal. Their original “meeting” was pretty funny and their language barrier made their interactions humorous especially from his pov where he’s trying to understand what she’s saying. I tabbed the hell out of this book and for good reason. Their were a lot of spicey scenes throughout the book along with funny and romantic moments between the duo and the side characters and even some sad sappy moments when they talk about the possibility of her going back to earth if she had the chance.

I liked the world building in the book and the descriptive language used when mentioning the setting as well as what the aliens and other wildlife looked like on this other planet.

an attempt was made LOL

if you like this series more power to you! I tried this book for an "out of your comfort zone" readathon prompt and boy howdy is audiobook erotica is most definitely NOT my thing. I'm also not really on board with the fact that the first encounter between the MC and her love interest was definitely...non-consensual sex played off because she "liked it"? I do appreciate that in the newest revised edition of the book the rape scene at the beginning was removed.

More than a little disappointed in this book because although it's kinky and silly and has characters who genuinely care about each other, it's really tone deaf to context and content. It's a dumpster fire for lack of consent, so as much as individual circumstances are cute or sexy, viewed in context they're... uncomfortable.
