This was a pretty standard alien trope romance where a group of humans emergency crash land on an alien planet. The human girls all were “bottom tier” as it seems earth has become this dystopia tiered system where low level’s are trained in one task (like cooking, trash, warehousing, etc.) and not allowed relationships or to learn because earth is too populated and so they don’t want low level folks procreating or getting ideas about rebelling. These human girls have won the lottery to immigrate to “Alpha Colony” where they’ve been told they can have a little holding and a family — something that the MC, Liv, sister won 10 years prior but Liv was told passed away in a very disbelieving story. She’s now planned to come to Alpha Colony to figure out what actually happened to her sister — a storyline that pretty quickly falls to the wayside as you’d might expect since they crash land on an alien planet; but I still thought it felt a bit weak and ended predictably.

The aliens are in need of females as an illness came through and killed all their women in addition to lots of children and elderly. They find their fated mates in the ‘dreamspace’ when they’re nearby and immediately Liv starts having vivid and risqué dreams with a tall alien, Gregar, who is the chief of his tribe. He comes to the rescue of Liv and the other girls when he finds in the dreams that they’re in danger from starvation, wild animals in the environment, and potentially other not as generous/kind tribes. Liv seems to pretty quickly come onboard with the idea of being an aliens mate, and likely that’s more believable as she’s had a pretty shitty life on earth and wasn’t expecting better on Alpha Colony.

This was a really quick, easy and entertaining alien smut read. Not super original as it felt very similar to Ice Planet Barbarians (not sure which one came first, I’ll just say it’s the repopulating an alien community trope where the alien men worship their human women). Still, I didn’t put this down and finished it in a few hours; will pick up the following girls stories next. 3 ½ stars from me ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
