Cold Attraction (Ice Planet Rendu, Book 1) - Zoe Ashwood.

Some like it Hoth! Creating steam on an ice planet.


This is the first book in the Ice Planet Rendu trilogy, an Alien Sci-Fi Romance from Zoe Ashwood. The book is set on the mostly inhospitable frozen planet of Rendu and features both human and sentient alien beings. There are several descriptive scenes of consenting inter-species sexual activity between an alien male and a human female. 


Zoe Ashwood has a fun and easy to read style of writing and the books are the perfect length for an evening on the sofa with a duvet and a cup of your favourite drink. The story has a Happy Ever After and there are no cliffhangers. Alien relationships are fun! Lots of differences to explore and new worlds to discover. 


Humans have recently discovered that they are not alone in the galaxy and their first foray into space is on a fact finding mission to Rendu, supported and protected by the Rendian Armed forces. The journey between planets takes months and the ship arrives back at Rendu to political upheaval; the King has been murdered and in his place is a Regent who is controlling the young princess and he most definitely does not have the interests of his people at heart. How will this impact the human delegation? The visiting humans must be kept safe because the Regent wants trade and contact with Earth but they must be controlled because he has also reinstated unsafe practices which cannot come to light if he is to maintain power.


Adriana is the human anthropologist responsible for learning Rendian culture and history. Her guardian while she is on Rendu is Taron ad Naals, whose mission is to keep her safe and in the city for the six week duration of the human visit. Needless to say, all does not go to plan and the relationship between the two ends up more than just colleagues. 


If you're new to Alien Sci-Fi Romance, this is a good one to start with.
