It's been too long since I read some alien porn.
This was alright! The drama was a bit much cause the characters were just being idiots, but the sex was hawt. Plenty of raahoshing going on here, too.

For Oten and the world building alone, my rating would have been a solid 3 but Nem and the lack of romance, made this a 2.5 Star read
Nem and her rebel ship are attacked, her crew is scattered and she’s on a desolate planet with the alien warrior that tried to kill her. If things couldn’t get worse, the planet they crash landed on releases toxins that drive you mad with desire. It stimulates the body to such a degree that it causes you excruciated physical pain until you relieve it. And if you ha ...more

Mandatory disclaimer: Robin Lovett is my Twitter friend. That didn't bias my review, however, and I paid money for this book.
TOXIC DESIRE was a purely impulse buy for me. I grew up on Star Wars and Star Trek and used to read fanfic of both back in the day, which has given me a soft spot for trashy space smut, especially when decent world-building and strong female protagonists are involved.

3.5 stars, which is more than I expected.
This was exactly what I wanted from it. I started reading this because the premise is so stupidly hilarious to me. Getting stuck on an aphrodisiac planet... that just sounded like a whole lot of ridiculousness to me. Just as expected they have way too much sex, to the point where it's pretty much not possible, since she's human and I doubt her body could take that. The best part is that the book actually addresses this. I did not expect it to, so kudos to ...more

I read this book over my last few days of work before interpreting went remote and as you can guess, I was super stressed. What's better than a science fiction romance that takes place on a sex planet? (Yes, that's its own sub-sub-genre. Honest.)
This is the kind of enemies to lovers I can hang with - hate for good reasons at the time, followed by deeper understanding and capitulation. There's some gender stuff thrown in and while it feels pat I like that Lovett is reaching for something more tha ...more

Nem (Nemona) crash lands on a planet with Oten. That planet happens to be Fyrian. Oten has a history with humans and hates them. I thought with a good reason (they killed many of his kind/species). Together they have to survive on this planet. Except, this planet has an aphrodisiac atmosphere from the flora and fauna. I thought this sounded interesting.
I was disappointed. There's sex. Lots of it. It felt forced with two people who otherwise wouldn't be together. Or even want to be together. I di ...more

Toxic Desire by Robin Lovett: Toxic Desire by Robin Lovett is the first story in her Planet of Desire series, and part of Entangled Publishing’s steamy Scorched imprint. It’s an erotic science-fiction romance about sworn enemies who find themselves on a planet designed to enhance sexual attraction – to the dismay of them both!

I’m on day two of a sinus headache. When I feel like this I’m grabbing for the most escapist books on my shelf, the ones I think of as “break glass in case of emergency” books, such as this one, set on a sex planet.
Stay with me a minute (or don’t; if you know inter-species alien sex isn’t your thing, feel free to click away now with my blessing, go with God). If you’re looking for escapism, if you’re looking for a retreat from reality, if your brain and heart need a break, then Toxic Desire mig ...more

Three and a half
I do love the pure escapism of a sci fi romance so spotted this and thought why not try a new author ? Hmm first I thought it was a romance but having read it I'd personally say it's more erotica than I'd previously thought. Not necessarily a bad thing I admit but I did think that there was more sex than actual plot . I guess I'd just wanted a lot more substance.

If you loved Ice Planet Barbarians, you'll enjoy this! Nemona’s space exploration ship is attacked by a mythical race of aliens called Ssedez. Their golden skin is impenetrable and rumor has it that they are immortal. When Nem and a Ssedez soldier crash land on the nearby planet, Fyrian, they discover that the atmosphere, plants, and water cause intense sexual desire. The entire planet is an aphrodisiac!

I DNF at 43%.
When I read the blurb I thought it would be like the Ice Planet Barbarians series so I gave it a shot because I loved that series back in the day.
Once I started reading I saw how wrong I was going into it this.
It consisted of nothing but sex, sex, and more sex! That is basically all this is. I made it to about 43% before I had to just quit. We weren’t getting anywhere story wise and I couldn't read about them having sex anymore.

What is it about alien romance that is so addicting? Picking up an alien romance is the equivalent of eating a candy and telling yourself that's the only one you'll eat for the night, but before you know it, you end up eating the entire bag of candy. I kept reading this book and completely lost myself in it. I only came up for air, or rather, food and sleep.
This was a fun and sexy alien romance. There is some angst, but who am I kidding? No one, including myself, is reading this book for the ang ...more

Twilight In Space, with less stalking and more sex pollen
Yep, you read that right. Sex pollen as a trope has made it out of the fanfiction world and into mainstream publishing. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, enter it into the search box at TVTropes.org. You may never emerge again.
This is basically Space Porn with Plot - a human woman crash-lands on a planet with an alien soldier, and literally everything on the planet turns out to be a toxically strong aphrodisiac. They should hate ea ...more

What do you do when you're stranded on an island (that happens to be pumping an aphrodisiac through the air/water/basically everything) with a super hot golden-skinned snake-like alien guy? Well, that should be obvious. This was a pretty quick read (maybe a little too quick? I would've liked to stick around a little longer with Nem and her female crew, but it seems like this book is setting up for an ongoing series so I'm thinking we'll get to know some of her fellow rebels soon) and also pretty

This is the story of two enemies stranded on a planet that seems to emit aphrodisiacs through its flora and fauna.

Her only companion is Oten, a Ssedez warrior who hates humans and yet everything in him yearns to Mate with his enemy Nem . Together they trek towards the wreckage of Nems ship but their burning need to constantly jump each other's bones leaves them facing unimaginable change

Wow, what a hot, sexy, fun read! This is my first alien erotic novel, but after watching a lot of Star Trek I fell right into the premise. General Nem is captain of her ship, which is captured by an alien race presumed dead. In the fight, Nem and one of the aliens, Oten, land on an unexplored world together. There’s something in the air that stirs both species to crave sexual contact or lose their minds. Nem and Oten, sworn enemies, turn to each other to ease the ache. One of the things I loved

TOXIC DESIRE, the first book in Robin Lovett’s new Planet of Desire series from Entangled’s Scorched line, features two enemies trapped together on a planet whose ecosystem just makes them want to get it on. He’s a sexy, god-like alien dude with golden armored skin and she’s a kickass General with a secret mission. This book is super hot and emotional with strong world-building and compelling characters. If you’re of a fan of sci-fi erotic romance, this one’s definitely for you!

Holy smokes this story was hot af! 🔥
Mortal enemies find themselves stranded on an unknown planet that radiates a toxin to make one mindlessly sex crazed.
This book is wild, but definitely top shelf alien erotica. 👌 Currently this one is free on Amazon if you wanna get your weird on.

Ridiculous and over the top and so so sexy, in all the best ways. I desperately needed an escape and this just did it.

Toxic Desire is everything I love about Alien Romances 😍 👽
human General Nem’s spaceship gets attacked by a group of alien Ssedez warriors. They crash land on Fyrian where not much is known about the planet. Now General Nem is stuck with her enemy Commander Oten on a planet where the plants and atmosphere release aphrodisiac toxins.
