Protective non-human heroes, human heroines and long connected series define much of Ruby Dixon’s science-fiction and fantasy romance. Ice Planet Barbarians begins when abducted women are stranded on an icy planet inhabited by large blue aliens and must form new partnerships to survive. Icehome and the Corsairs books expand the same broad universe with new couples, alien cultures and spacefaring settings. The Risdaverse shifts towards alien-human romance in a more settled interstellar world, while the Aspect and Anchor books, including Bound to the Battle God, move into portal fantasy and gods. Dixon’s stories are relationship-led, humorous and highly episodic, with one central couple per book. The most useful shelf connections are alien romance, sci-fi romance, fated mates and fantasy romance for adult readers. Read more Less
