This was a cute little barbarian read that focused on Georgie and her pregnancy as well as the Days of Claire's Love Life.
We met Claire in the first book and, after not resonating with anyone, she shacked up with Bek.
But now, she hath realized something about dear Bek.

But have no fear, Claire's PrinceCharming Barbarian comes to save her and, ya'll know what that means...
Meanwhile, in other parts of the cave, all the human chicks get to talking about how they miss Earth holidays.
And chocolate. Because DEEP.
Some feel-good holiday shenanigans ensue and Gerogie's bubble finally bursts.
And that's about the extent of my commentary on this one...
Really.
Sorry folks.
Other than that, I am kinda of bummed that I am reaching the end of this series.
But never fear.
And chocolate...

5 Claire, Ereven, and No Poison Day Stars
May have spoilers
Ice Planet Holiday was a very cute little novella. I loved that all of the tribe got together to celebrate the earth holidays in one big mash-up. The aliens never did holidays. They misunderstood some of the traditions, like mistletoe, which turned into the aliens calling the holiday no poison day. This book was like two smalls stories in one. You had No Poison Day and Claire and Ereven resonating. In the start of the series Claire started hooking up with Bek. Over a year into their relationship Bek was a jerk and Claire was a bit of a doormat. With Claire being super timid, never speaking up and Bek bullying her, their relationship was super toxic. The holiday get together gave Claire a chance to break up with Bek. Bek the pushy, hardheaded jerk didn't take the news of the break up well. So in Stepped Ereven to help Bek get the message.
I loved Ereven. He was super sweet and protective. I felt a little annoyed with both Claire and Bek in this book. Claire because she was so cowardly letting the relationship go on for over a year when she wanted to end it. However with the bad way Bek acted even after she broke up with him maybe she had a point. I felt like Bek needed a kick in the ass. Claire and Ereven together worked better for me. With Claire being so shy and timid, Ereven was just want she needed. I loved all the cute holiday things they did. I loved the soccer, the present making, the little pink tree, and the kids. It was all very sweet. I was glad Liz remember Josie. I am loving this series so much.

Enough already! I get it! They're all pregnant and horny.
How the f*ck are they still horny with the barfing and the swollen ankles?
I need a break from this.

Thank you, alien-smut book for being funny again!!
This was a short story about the humans deciding to have a holiday celebration at the cave. Georgie tries to explain Christmas to Vektal and tells him about mistletoe to try and sweeten the deal with allowing them to have a holiday party. Only, her explanation gets a bit muddled and she ends up telling him that they can't eat the mistletoe because it's poison. This starts the fun of this book.
"I wish to make this happen for you," he tells me. "Can any plant be used? Or must it be poison?"
She tries to explain further, and tells him about all of the different holidays on Earth. She and the human women are thinking of combining them all into one holiday.
"A new one we can all celebrate together....have a feast, exchange presents, and just, you know, be happy we're all alive and healthy."
"And no poison?"
"No poison," I agree firmly.
"Then we shall do a no-poison day for you, my Georgie."
And, now our holiday has a name:festivus No Poison Day! It's brilliant. It's catchy!
Aehako claps him on the shoulder, smiling. "We are going to have a No Poison Day!"
"Holiday," Josie corrects. "Every day is no-poison day."
......
I crack an eye open and stare at the sad, wilted plant touching my cheek. "What the fuck is that?"
Vektal grins. "It's not poison! For the celebration. Now you will shower me with kisses, yes?"
..............
A few of the hunters come outside, curious. "I brought these for you," Hassen says to Tiffany, and holds out a handful of fresh-plucked plants. "They are not poison."
The whole thing cracked me up, of course. Now, my family will have to accept the fact that I am going to start a No Poison Day holiday in our house, because it's that awesome.
Aside from our holiday story, we have babies being born, and the story of Clair and Ereven. Clair had been shacking up with a guy who her Cootie didn't like, and it turned out that her Cootie was right. The guy was a jerk. She breaks up with him and gets together with an awesome guy, Ereven. The only problem with the whole thing? They only get a few chapters of a novella instead of a whole book. It doesn't seem very fair when all of the other humans are getting their own books. I'm just sayin... Erevin's awesome. He's totally book-worthy.

(2.75 stars rounded down to 2.)
Ice Planet Holiday was like Sweet Valley High meets 16 and Pregnant, the alien version. I wasn't bothered by the pregnancies, but I was stressed out by a couple of things:
1. Georgie should shut the fuck up. I mean, really, get your pregnant ass out of the novella and do something remotely interesting with your life, woman.
It actually got to the point where I would just skip Georgie's parts altogether. I mean seriously, would you talk to your sister when she's PMS-ing?
Yeah. I didn't think so. That's exactly how Georgie was like.
2. The novella should have just focused on Claire and Ereven's relationship. I mean, really, a novella's already too short to give a proper buildup to the romance without havingGeorgie rant about random shit unnecessary parts taking up the space. I honestly didn't really feel invested on the two, and when they finally went at it, I felt... nothing.
3. Ereven should've had his POV. WHY OH WHY DIDN'T HE HAVE A POV????? WTF so Georgie gets to bitch around and we can't even read about Ereven's side of things?!
4. Where the fuck was Raahosh?!? (Sorry, Jess.)
5. Other things: Too much teen drama. The whole football thing was ridiculous. Bek needed a good kick to his blue alien balls. And Claire was a boody chicken right until the last moment.
Look, I love this series, but this was just meh. It was funny, yes, butGeorgie it was also annoying at some parts. You know what? I don't really recommend this. You're not really missing anything significant if you skip this one, in my opinion.

In this novella we get a little more holiday flare and some new traditions with the tribes. They got babies and more mating. This book is sweet and sexy We get more of Claire in this and her story takes quite a turn, as do Vektal and Georgie.
Cannot wait for to read Tiffany's story! Also Josie and Haeden.

Christmas tree

holiday spirit.
Happy resonating Claire and Ereven!

I wish we had Ereven's POV, more Claire and Ereven and less Georgie but still it was a nice short novel.

This was cute.
I have to say I was all "who the eff is Claire?" at the start, but Ereven makes up for all of my reservations. WHAT A BABE.
Georgie was a massive whinger and my love, Raahosh, was nowhere to be seen in this. :(
I thought I would be bored by all the baby talk, but I actually found it quite fun.
I can't wait for Josie and Haeden to get together. And I look forward to Tiffany's book next year.
Fun, but not my favourite.

Esta es una pequeña novela extra en la que vemos a todos estos personajes y sus parejas mientras disfrutan de las festividades.
Ice Planet Holiday me gusto mucho, es cortita ( mas aun que las anteriores ), divertida y agradable de leer, ademas la forma en la que se desarrolla la relacion de Claire y Ereven me parecio muy tierna.
En conclusion, una lectura muuuy rapida y dulce que disfrutaras si eres fan de esta saga.
2.75 Estrellas!

Das … waren mir leider viel zu viele Babys und Schwangerschaften. 😂💀 Hätte mir für Claire zudem ein richtiges Buch gewünscht. Die Situation mit Bek hätte SO spannend und konfliktreich werden können. Naja.

First quarter of the book.
WHAT THE HELL?!
Yes. What. The. Hell.
It was absolutely frustrating that the introduction of this book showcased Georgie. Georgie who had her turn on the first install so to keep reading her??
Halfway in.
I WAS IN LOVE.
Yes. I was. Because Ereven was introduced.
Fark! This blue alien was such a babe! I want him (and Aehako) for myself.
Three quarters in.
OH FOR F*CK SAKE!
Yes. Frustration kicked in yet again. Georgie and her pregnant arse was ruining Claire's and Ereven's story.
Towards the end of the story.
I WAS ALL-SMILES.
Yes. Because. Because....

---Yes yes YES! his RIDGES were mentioned!! --- made me smile and swoon and twirl!
“My moans grow louder as the ridges of his tongue stroke deep into my core, over and over again.”
“Like all sa-khui men, his cock is ribbed (for my pleasure!) and ridged.”
“When he rocks into me again, it’s like I feel every ridge dragging through me, and my eyes nearly roll back in my head from the pleasure of it.”
*rushes to grab water and douses self*
It's a shame that this is just a novella. I would've wanted more pages to turn to get to know more of Ereven and Claire. In fact, I'm upset and disappointed as we didn't get to know what Ereven's specialty is. Now, a verb for this blue spunk is unknown and THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.
I couldn't, however, blame Georgie and her pathetic whinings for taking up almost half of the book. My heart goes out to her going through that awful birthing experience.
It was indeed
OUCHIE! OUCHIE!
I just wished Ms Dixon didn't insert her appearanceS in here as this is only a novella.
Overall this is a decent read.

I don’t usually read novellas, but this one has Claire so I went ahead and picked it up. If you are a fan of the series and you are in the holiday spirit (like I am right now) then this book is perfect.
In this one, Georgie deals with her pregnancy and the girls want to celebrate Christmas. It’s a cute book and I like to read about the other girls. It will help me for the future books.
Claire is in a relationship with one of the aliens and **gasp** he’s not a nice guy. It’s an interesting storyline because you thought all the aliens were awesome and sweet, but they can have flaws too.
I liked it!

A Blue Baby Holiday Review, told in RPG Stat rolls….(I’m just going to do all rolls with 4 die and standard difficulty – 7 – because I can’t be axed to create individual stats for everyone. Deal with it.)
Once upon a random block in time, there were aliens and humans living in relative peace… not exactly peace, but they were basically alive so it counts.
Anyways, we begin our story with ‘Georgie’, the Chief of the aliens’ mate (hugely pregnant and annoying as fuck). She’s sitting around the pool with her fellow humans and they are talking about missing calendars and dates and holidays, so she gets volunteered – read voluntold - to convince her loving mate, who can deny her nothing, that they need a holiday. Some random mix of all the holidays crammed into one is discussed.
That night, Georgie uses seduction to soften Vektal up to the idea: (Appearance/Manipulation – 0,8,7,9) SUCCESS! Vektal is a little leery but as I said can deny her nothing. A celebration will commence.
Explanation of what Mistletoe is: (Intellegence/Lore - 4,6,9,1) BOTCH! He completely misunderstands her and the holiday is dubbed ‘Not-Poison Day’.
In the other cave Claire is busy attempting to do ANYTHING well and failing all of her rolls. Her stitches are awful and her ‘mate’, a right prick of an alien named Bek, (not a resonant match) bitches that she is useless at everything. When a hunter from the main camp shows up she is ordered to stay put but finally, FINALLY, gets success in a Stealth/Investigation roll (8,6,7,5) and sneaks out to see what the fuss is about.
Ereven, a hunter from the other cave, is telling everyone about ‘Not-Poison Day’ and when Bek states with no-nonsense that himself and Claire will NOT be going. It is stated that ALL will be in attendance, by word of the Chief, so Claire finds herself again at the main cave.
Downtime: Claire manages to get away from Bek and stay with the single ladies in their cave. Preparations begin for ‘Not-Poison Day’ and other than a few hiccups things mostly go smoothly. Bek is pissy and Ereven has to step in and intimidate him away from Claire.
Ereven attempts to court Claire: but BOTCHES his roll (1,4,8,2) and she somehow interprets his comment to mean that he will pretend to court her to keep Bek away.
Shit gets weird. Georgie is a whining idiot again. Bouncy Blue Babies are born.
Ereven rerolls his courtship roll and eventually convinces Claire that he wasn’t ‘pretending’ to court her.
Bek somehow convinces everyone (including Claire) – (Manipulation/Subterfuge: 0,9,6,0) that rather than being an emotionally abusive PRICK he’s just a surly asshole who someone will probably resonant for someday – poor thing!
Aliens and humans get their purr on.
THE END.
Thank you for the buddy-read, Heatherdoll!! This book may not be a win but YOU are ♥

I thought this was a fun addition to the Ice Planet series. I love the not-poison holiday! Loved catching up with some of the crew, although I missed a few favorites. This book was really more about the humans anyway. I am not sure how Harlow became a friggin' genius, but they are lucky to have her!
I felt bad for Claire and Bek and was happy for Claire and sad for Bek. Hopefully he will find happiness in the future. Tiffany's book does not excite me but I am sure I will read it.

Not as great as the last two books, but I still love this stuff. Claire is a needy little thing, isn't she.(?) But I'm happy another couple has resonated. On to the next one! Happy reading!!

Personal Overview
This was a short, sweet and funny story (except for Bek, but I'm explaining it below).
Half of the book is Georgie trying to teach Vektal and the rest of the aliens the concept of Holidays, describing their meaning and what is done in each of them. And all the misinterpretation, and eagerness to please is so funny and delightful to read.
From there forward it was created the “Non-Poison Day”.
The parallel story shows us Claire trying to get out of a emotional and abusive relationship with Bek. She even tries to understand him, and points out reasons to why he is like this.
Claire finds courage to break up and show that she wants none of his attentions (with the help of a special blue skinned alien ;)), so in the end she also gets her HEA!
And how could I forget the babies? My God, so many babies. Three more blue cuties come in to the Ice Planet during the book.

Half of the book is Georgie trying to teach Vektal and the rest of the aliens the concept of Holidays, describing their meaning and what is done in each of them. And all the misinterpretation, and eagerness to please is so funny and delightful to read.
“Mistletoe is a plant. You hang it from the doorway—“ “Because it smells good?” he prompts. “Well, no, it doesn’t smell like anything.” “It… tastes good? And you hang it to remind yourself?” “Actually I think it’s poison.” He frowns. “This sounds foolish to me.” “It’s what it represents,” I tell him, slapping the cloth against his chest with a bit more irritation. “It’s about showing your woman that you care for her.” “By poisoning her?”
From there forward it was created the “Non-Poison Day”.
The parallel story shows us Claire trying to get out of a emotional and abusive relationship with Bek. She even tries to understand him, and points out reasons to why he is like this.
I need to talk to him and get everything out in the open. He’s not a bad man. I know he’s not. He’s just high-strung and overbearing, and I’m such a wuss that I’m the last person he should be with.
(...)
I feel a pang of sadness. It’s clear that he’s lonely and unhappy, but I can’t be what he needs.
Claire finds courage to break up and show that she wants none of his attentions (with the help of a special blue skinned alien ;)), so in the end she also gets her HEA!
And how could I forget the babies? My God, so many babies. Three more blue cuties come in to the Ice Planet during the book.

Short and sweet. I enjoyed the multiple POV's, which I usually hate. It allowed the reader to catch up with all the characters. The novella is all about some of the babies finally arriving and the creation of a holiday. The humans miss holidays, so they make a Christmas-Thanksgiving-Hanukkah sort of celebration.

July 27, 2022Finally read this novella that I skipped forever ago. Beck’s a dick and Georgie’s annoying, but everything else was pretty cute.

4.5 stars- I need this to be a full length book
Not because of all the holiday fun that happens (but yeah. That alone was sooo fuuuun), but because Claire needs her own full length book 😭😭😭😭.
This takes place after book 4, Harlow and Rukh’s book.
Georgie is STILL VEEEEERY pregnant and so DOOOONE 🫠. I feel for her 😭. All these people keep having their babies, and she still hasn’t had hers yet 😭.
Side note- did I miss Liz and Rahoosh having their baby? Cause I swear I must’ve missed it somewhere 😭.
Georgie and the girls talk about what they’re missing from earth and one of the biggest things they miss are the holidays- think Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah, so Vektal decides he wants to please his mate and do the holidays like the girls want ❤️. They bring the caves together and celebrate the holidays (calling it No Poison Day🤣).
And here’s where this book lost points for me- Claire’s story.
Claire has been with Bek for a while. But their relationship has changed, and not in a good way. Neither have resonated for each other yet they’ve still stayed together. But now, Bek has become kind of abusive, and Claire isn’t happy. She wants out. But how can she do that?
Enter Everen 🥹 he’ll help her by “pretending” to be with her so that Bek leaves her alone ❤️
It might seem “fake”, but Claire is feeling some type of way 👀 and Everen is definitely feeling some type of way towards her too 👀.
Can Claire find happiness?

Ereven and Clare can get 3 stars on their own since they saved this book, and Georgie can get 0.5 because I think she's still my favourite of the girls. So 3.5

4 Beautifully, annoying stars!
I mainly loved how this book switches between two female's POV. It was definitely something new and different that I did not see coming.
In this book we are switching between Georgie's POV (who was so fucking annoying with the jealously and being an total asshole to her mate -_-) and Claire's POV. I just wish that Claire's story was longer to give it the proper story telling it deserves.
BUT! It was totally funny that the guys could not grasp the meaning of a mistletoe.

These books are such comfort reads for me, and this one had a bit of everything! Breakups, babies, resonance!! And…soccer?? I loved Claire and Erevan so much! And could not help but giggle over our aliens absolutely not understanding the concept of mistletoe 😂

Okay so it’s kind of getting predictable but this was a fun holiday novella.
February 25, 2022
I enjoyed Claire and Ereven's story line more than Georgie's pregnancy story line. I wish they could have gotten a separate book.
3.5 stars
