Ice Planet Barbarians

The international publishing phenomenon Ice Planet Barbarians, now in a special print edition!

Fall in love with the out-of-this-world romance between Georgie Carruthers, a human woman, and Vektal, an alien from another planet, in this expanded edition with bonus materials and an exclusive epilogue—in print only!


You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you’d be wrong. Because now the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women—including me—on an ice planet.

We’re not equipped for life in this desolate winter wasteland. Since I’m the unofficial leader, I head out into the snow to look for help.

I find help all right. A big blue horned alien introduces himself in a rather . . . startling way. Vektal says that I'm his mate, his chosen female—and that the reason his chest is purring is because of my presence. He’ll help me and my people survive, but this poses a new problem.

If Vektal helps us survive, I’m not sure he’s going to want to let me go.

Trigger Warnings Needed

In the newer physical and ebooks, Ruby Dixon has added trigger warnings for the extra dark scenes that apparently only appear in this first book. However, the audiobook has no such warnings and it was very alarming going into this first book and running across a triggering scene within the first 5 minutes. I finished it because my best friend recommended it but otherwise I would have DNFed at that first scene because of the lack of warnings so just be aware as you go into this if you decide to read it.

I can’t believe I waited this long to dive into a monster romance! No wonder my sister sings Ruby Dixon’s praises—she writes a wildly entertaining story that had me laughing out loud and giggling like a schoolgirl.

I didn’t expect to love it this much, but here we are: completely charmed by blue aliens, oddly tender romances, and a storyline that’s somehow equal parts ridiculous and heartwarming.

I get it now. I’m a Ruby Dixon convert, ready to tackle this 50ish book series with enthusiasm and probably a little blushing.

Georgie and a bunch of other women are abducted and kept in/as cargo on a spacecraft. When the ship encounters technical troubles, the aliens that took them are forced to abandon their cargo on a random planet until they are able to come back for the women. It is up to Georgie to brave the unknown and venture out into this snow-ridden planet to find help before their abductors come back. When Vektal finds her, he immediately recognizes Georgie as his and does what he can to protect his mate and save the other women from a dark fate.

I was entertained by this. Just plain fun!

I finished this one several days ago but life's been super hectic. I am actually sitting in the airport at Pittsburgh International waiting for my flight to Dallas, headed to Book Bonanza!

I have been wanting to read this for years because one of my favorite authors loves this series and author.

It's quirky, outrageous, and completely implausible, but all that lends to its appeal. While it may not have been a home run hit for me, I still found it to be a fun read for what it is.

I listened to the audiobook via Libby and found the narration to be adequate though the female voice just didn't quite fit for me.

If you like spicy, hardcore alien romance, you may want to give it a try.
