[Poll Book Tally] Ice Planet Barbariansn by Ruby Dixon 3 stars

[Karin]

Well, this is a fun read, despite the erotica and the fact that this is not that well written. Sure, it's scifi, but mostly it is female fantasy romance, which I find amusing because I bit my teeth on scifi written by men when I was young, and, to be frank, the male fantasy sex stuff really isn't my cup of tea (and there is more of that than some people realize). It's a fun change to read about blue aliens who turn out to be everything a woman has ever dreamed of, apparently, instead of female aliens...well, some of those books I read are long gone and forgotten, and good riddance, but not all of them are.

I accidentally read book 14 first, so knew a few things before starting this, but, in a nutshell, Georgie, 22, who has never believed in aliens, goes to bed at home in Florida one night and wakes up in a space ship where she, along with a bevvy of other 22 year old women (no explanation is given as to how the aliens know they are 22) and they are going to be sold as slaves. One thing leads to another, and after they manage to overwhelm a guard, their part of the ship is dropped off on a planet temporarily to be picked up again later.

If you are looking for thought provoking read, this isn't one of them. It's so easy to poke holes in this world building I won't even start, but, like the movie Space Balls, which is in a movie genre I usually dislike intensely, for me it works as comedy and a quick read.
