Tiktok totally made me read this book.  Or in my case listen to it.  And overall it was not bad.  I have read worse erotica.  A ship of women stolen from earth crashlands on an ice planet and they must survive. 

Georgie is their unintended leader.  She leaves the broken pile of rubble to search for food and shelter.  But is soon accosted by Vektal.  His Cree hums for her, and she awakens with a neither region tongue bath.  And now they are mates.  At least in Vektal’s eyes.  Communication issues aside, Georgie wants help not just for herself but for her crew mates.  But this world was not meant for her.  It’s cold and in hospital.  But Vektal is just too alluring, horns, blue skin and all.  So it's happy sexy time.  Eventually they head back to the ship to collect the ladies, and they take some of Vektal’s tribe along to help bring supplies.  It is up to Georgie to let the ladies know that if they stay they have to take in a parasite that will allow them to live on the land, as well as “resonate” to find a perfect breeding partner later on.  

Some of these women seem way too eager saying things  like they would go down on a alien if he brings her a hamburger.  But over all its standard erotica.  The story moves along nicely.  The spicy scenes get a bit repetitive, and trigger warning:  there are consent issues (as seen above).  And at the end there is a bit of family planning issues I am not alright with, but is typical for the genre.

Overall it was a fun and quick read.
