Since the series follows a close-knit community, many couples are prominently featured in later books which may explain why a lower-ranked book’s couple is higher-ranked (see Barbarian’s Alien, for example). Book 7.1) must be read after the book it’s listed under: to read books 7.1 and 7.2 you’re supposed to read Book 7 first.īooks with a 🌟 beside them are one of my favourites in the series! Important to note is that in each book review I note where the book and couple rank in the 20 book series (with 1st being the best).

Series fans will be happy to revisit Not-Hoth for this slightly more serious but just as sensual installment. Along the way, Dixon delivers fantastical set dressing, grand scale adventure, and steamy sex scenes. Soon the inexperienced alien man is learning how to please Tiffany while dodging the resentments of other aliens hoping to court her.
When she asks him to help her work through her trauma by gradually practicing intimacy, he’s delighted. One of these aliens, Salukh, knows from the start that Tiffany is his fated mate, but their bond has yet to be confirmed. So when a group of blue, horned aliens unrelated to the kidnappers rescue the women and offer them refuge, Tiffany struggles to feel safe around them. In addition to other traumas the group suffered during their space voyage, Tiffany survived sexual assault aboard the alien craft. Tiffany is one of many human women kidnapped from Earth by aliens intent on selling them on the planet Not-Hoth. That’s an ambitious order for a series that is often seen as erotic escapism, but Dixon pulls it off. Dixon’s emotional fifth Ice Planet Barbarians romance (after Barbarian Mine) is more than just a love story it’s also a sci-fi drama focused on a heroine working through PTSD.
