Since I am a baby millennial who reads romance novels I knew I needed to read the TikTok sensation Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon eventually. I didn’t want to start here since I had heard it was kind of wild, and let me tell you it absolutly is, but also like, lives up to the hype (am I a monster fucker now? idk man maybe I’m a monster fucker). Basic premise, aliens kidnap aprox 12 human women to sell into alien slavery (implied sexual slavery). *Trigger warnings for SA and Suicide* The first bit is harsh not going to lie with a vague account of assault to a non-main character and there is a later occurrence of (probable) suicide but those are the most questionable aspects of the book and take up very little plot time. The characters quickly find themselves not with their alien kidnappers and stranded on said ice planet where they soon meet said barbarians, who are big and blue absolute himbos with monster dicks made for fucking (seriously, they include an extra nub just for your clit, the main character pictures a rabbit vibrator), and a deep deep love for going down on women, really what more could you possibly want. Seriously himbo vibes off the chart – wildly buff and constantly drinking their respect women juice while still picking you up and carrying you around, hot. The sex was pretty hot, particularly in the way you can use ‘alien’ as an excuse to dramatically improve male anatomy. Very quick easy read, started and finished this afternoon/ evening and was enjoyable with hot bits scattered at strategic points so you never get too lost in the weird alien shit without a good satisfying sex scene.
