Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon
Okay, I read the blue alien peen book. Are you happy now?
Shades of Beauty and the Beast, with a dash of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. This was not terrible. But also, the on-page extreme sexual assault was completely unnecessary, for me, to contrast the new hot set of aliens. And there's dubious consent at best at the start of Georgie and Vektal's "relationship" that made me extremely uncomfortable. No shade to people who like this series, and I guess I understand what Dixon is going for - Mara at Bookslikewho has a long video talking more about the themes present in the series as a whole - but this series is just not going to be for me, I think.
