When Georgie goes to bed one night, she doesn't expect to wake up on a spaceship having been abducted by evil green men in suits - yep, aliens. When a bid at freedom goes wrong, Georgie and he fellow captives find themselves on a strange planet full of snow and ice. Adventuring out, Georgie then meets a mysterious blue hulk of an alien who seems convinced she's his mate. She uses the attention to her advantage to help the others but can't help noticing the surge of attraction she holds for her strange saviour as well.
This was honestly just an entertaining read that I actually ended up enjoying more than I expected to. There's a lot in this book that is a bit silly and nonsensical but I didn't pick this up expecting an extremely indepth science fiction book - I wanted a bit of fun and that's what I got. While the start of the book doesn't start out great with an upsetting scene involving sexual assault that I'm not 100% sure needed to really be in there, it slowly gets nicer to the point when the communication between Georgie and Vektal is super sweet.
While I enjoyed the romance and the sexy times (very convenient how built for human female pleasure Vektal was, I must say), I actually just really liked the brief description and exploration of the planet we did get, and how Vektal and his people lived inside the caves as well. Learning more about all of this, not necessarily the future romantic set-ups would make me keen to read more of the books.
