7 Books Like Ice Planet Barbarians (Alien-Human Romance)
Ice Planet Barbarians has super short books, and they can all blend. It’s a marathon series, so this is an excellent intro to the Alien romance series. The story is about a ship of human women who crash land onto the ice planet. These barbarian aliens have been stranded there long, but they now inhabit that land.

1. Toxic Desire (Planet Of Desire)
The golden-skinned alien has a snake pattern, diamond skin, and venom in his fangs. That creates arousal and a great bond. Planet Fyrian is a big aphrodisiac. Unfortunately, Nemona’s crash-landed on this planet and met the commander, Oten. Oten (Alien) had attacked a human ship because humans destroyed his entire planet and people. So they crashed, and they were enemies 2 seconds ago.
Now they one jump each other’s bones. If Oten keeps on that, she will become his mate, and he doesn’t want to be mates with the human because he hates humans. So it’s an exciting story. Also, the action starts on the very first page with this one. We don’t have a ton of worldbuilding. We get that as the story progresses. So that makes for a quick, fast-paced read like Ice Planet Barbarians.

2. Captive of the Horde King (Horde Kings of Dakkar)
This is similar to a Khal Drogo Khaleesi fanfic type thing, except its aliens, and it is the barbarians from the planet of Dakkar. The humans are refugees and have refugee settlements or villages, but they have many rules around hunting. They’re not allowed to hunt, and they have very little food.
Luna’s brother breaks the rules, and the Horde will take him. So she offers her life and payment for his. She thinks that the Horde King will take her as a concubine, and he wants to make her his queen. Horde King was so awesome, and the series does continue. The atmosphere and worldbuilding are very similar to Ice Planet Barbarians.

3. Guardian (Prison Planet)
Audra Copeland gets thrown in the Prison Planet, and men-women separates it. The women have a deal with the men. They bring eight new prisoners to the men and get those women for a month. The men won’t attack the women’s camp because the men outnumber the women. So they have this deal, and Audra gets picked as one of them.
Audra can either do a free for all and take her chances with the masses or pick a guardian. Then as long as man can fight off anybody who would attack him, Audra only has to have sex with the winner. But she needs to pick wisely because if he’s an abuser, the other men are allowed to interfere. So it can be a bad situation. Audra picks somebody nobody has ever picked before, and it’s them trying to survive. For survival, it makes sense that you would have this deal. If you like Ice Planet Barbarians, you must read it.

4. Alpha Breeds (Alpha Horde)
The entire spinoff series is an omegaverse alien romance. In Omegaverse, you have an Alpha, Beta, and Omega. The alpha has usually ruled the society, the Beta is workers, and the Omegas are prized for breeding but can sometimes have minimal rights outside of that. All of these are human women with the aliens, and the humans have Omega, and we don’t know it.
This human was at a frat party and accidentally stumbled into a portal and ended up in front of the screen alien. Loven’s alpha and omega have belonged to the king. He’s not the king, but he’s the Horde leader. So he’s their war chief, but they ultimately serve the king. Loven wants the college girl, Kingsley, and he’s not letting her go. So it is super fascinating and smutty. The whole thing is dubious consent, but it makes sense within their society. You can relate with Ice Planet Barbarians.

5. Orion (Star Guardians)
Like Ice Planet Barbarians, This book is for those getting into sci-fi romance. A group of human women is kidnapped from Earth by bad aliens. The male protagonist is a human who did not grow upon earth. He grew up somewhere else. There’s a lot of talk about the origins of humans and whether Earth was the origin or came from somewhere else because they’re both very human.
So this is very good for people who have not done a lot of speculative romance yet. Throughout this series, there are so humanoid as not to be different enough for anything to jump out at you.

6. Abducting Abby (Dragon Lords Of Valdier)
It is a bit different in that the aliens that the women end up falling in love with were also the ones that took them from Earth. The reasoning for this is the low-key flimsy to make them not the bad guys, so I ended up giving up the series a while into it. But in this one, the men mostly look humanoid, except for the moments when they shapeshift into giant dragons shapeshifter aliens.
Dragons are known throughout the universe, and many different species of aliens can turn into them. This one is more focused on the macho alpha male thing than I like. I explain it barbarians are to a certain extent, but they’re also thrown off their game constantly. Also, it has a through-line of a big bad foe that runs through every book in which this big evil foe is constantly trying to attack.
You do get to see drag in fun times as Ice Planet Barbarians. However, in this book, it is always the sexy times. It’s always human together, or dragon together. You never see the cross-species thing. So for all of the bard maids who love seducing the dragon. You’re not going to be able to live out that fantasy here.

7. Red (Alien Fairytale Romances)
This is a Red Riding Hood retelling. Only in this case, the wolf is like aliens. They’re werewolves that never shift into humans. Also, it is a poly story because our young protagonist is going through the woods with her bright red hair covered. Red attracts these aliens that have crashed it down to earth in this world. It is technically an alien invasion story dystopia.
So Red ends up meeting with the three Wolf-aliens who will mate with the same woman. Eventually, they will create a polyamorous family with three wolf guys and one female. That’s standard for their culture. So this is a monster romance story that matches Ice Planet Barbarians. There are so many heteronormative tropes in the series. I would love to see a series with these ideas without the heteronormativity.
