How Corsair Brothers Began
Ruby Dixon, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, crafted the Corsair Brothers series as a spin-off from her wildly popular Ice Planet Barbarians universe. Launched in 2020 with Corsairs: Adiron, the series sprang from Dixon’s love for cinnamon roll heroes—charming, loyal men with a soft side—and her desire to explore the gritty, romantic lives of space pirates. Drawing inspiration from her interconnected ‘Rubyverse,’ Dixon wove the va'Sithai brothers into a narrative rich with action, romance, and alien allure, building on the foundation of earlier works like Prison Planet Barbarian.
The Heart of Corsair Brothers
The series kicks off with Corsairs: Adiron (2020), where the lovable, slightly dim-witted Adiron stumbles upon a derelict ship carrying human slaves, including Jade, a fierce survivor who steals his heart. Next, Corsairs: Kaspar (2021) follows the daring Kaspar and his fiery human match, Alice, as they unravel a dangerous conspiracy. Corsairs: Straik (2021) dives into the redemption arc of the aristocratic Straik, who grapples with his family’s dark legacy while falling for Ruth. Finally, Corsairs: Mathiras (2022) wraps up the core series with Mathiras and Helen, a kick-ass clone, tackling a cloning scandal with wit and passion.
At its core, Corsair Brothers blends themes of love, trauma, and found family against a backdrop of space stations, illegal cloning, and pirate heists. Dixon’s signature style—steamy romance, cheeky humor, and heartwarming connections—shines through, with each book focusing on a unique couple navigating trust and intimacy. The series tackles darker elements, like the physical and emotional scars of human trafficking, but balances them with hopeful, healing romances. The vibrant setting, filled with alien cultures and criminal underworlds, immerses readers in a universe where love conquers all.
Why Corsair Brothers Resonates
Corsair Brothers has carved a niche in sci-fi romance, captivating fans with its addictive mix of action and affection. Readers on platforms like Goodreads praise the series for its relatable characters and interconnected storytelling, which ties into Dixon’s broader universe.
