I do want to stress that this is not the kind of series you can jump around in, especially after the first few. Remember that Variety article where the creators of Harley Quinn revealed DC made them cut a scene of Batman going down on Catwoman because “heroes don’t do that”? Let’s just say that if that were the case, the men of Not-Hoth are the most villainous around *wink*Įvery single one of these books - novel and novella alike - is packed with humour, heart, and so many steamy, steamy moments I had to angle my iPad a certain way when reading in public to make sure no one could see over my shoulder. Consent kings whose primary objective in bed is the pleasure of their partner. The two genres that have kept me sane throughout this pandemic have been science fiction and romance, and when they blend so well into such a cohesive, delightful, well thought out world like this? Perfection.Īnd really, what’s not to love about a planet inhabited by seven foot tall, handsome and chiseled men. I’m a fast reader anyway, but not that fast. I read the entire series - that’s 30 novels/novellas - in a month. In case you couldn’t tell by the very nature of this article, I was immediately pulled into the world of the residents of Not-Hoth. But given how compatible each couple is personality-wise, there is probably more to it than that. It not only draws you to the other person you really horny for them. Therefore, each new arrival is given a “khui” - essentially, a parasite - that not only helps them survive the harsh conditions, but also draws them to their most compatible mate, ostensibly for the purposes of procreation in a process known as “resonance”. Because sa-khui culture is technologically primitive, they have no way to return the women home.

Their ship, however, crash-lands on a frozen planet the women dub “Not-Hoth”, and they are found by the tribe of local sentient beings known as the sa-khui. The basic premise is that a group of human women are abducted from Earth by a group of aliens looking to sell them on the intergalactic market. Just in my personal experience, I was seeing people on Twitter whose circles don’t normally intersect talking about this.

It prompted Barnes and Noble to start carrying the books on their shelves (as of writing this, no such luck for us Canadians - come on, Indigo). The series, about a group of human women stranded on a frozen planet in the middle of nowhere, and the very tall, handsome aliens who fall in love with them took the internet by storm. In June 2021, Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians series went viral on Tik Tok. *contains mild spoilers for the Ice Planet Barbarians series - also this article is rated M for Mature, reader discretion is advised*
