Synopsis (Goodreads):
She had always wanted an adventure in the stars…

After years of working for the Alien Immigration Office on Earth, Alyssa has finally been sent on her first assignment in space. But what’s supposed to be a nice little peace mission soon turns into a nightmare. One where pirates might abduct her at any moment and she's assigned a lethally scary - but oh, so sexy - bodyguard!

It doesn't help that the body he’s supposed to guard always heats up in his presence...

He was an abomination...
A beast...
Tortured and trained to kill since the day he was made...

Xarq has had it with bodyguarding jobs. In fact, he wasn't supposed to have them anymore. But one last job gets between him and his future military career, and he gets a tiny Earth female to protect. To top it all off, she is on her first mission in space, and his bodyguarding assignment turns more into a babysitting duty. Just perfect. But somehow, her oddly pleasant scent lures him in and he can't seem to get enough of her...

And that's dangerous. He needs to focus on his job!

Because that’s exactly when the pirates attack…
Thoughts on Mate of the Beast: A gloriously growly super soldier and a woman who has no idea the danger she's about to the thrust into. YES. For the record, I pretty much love growly alien men who know a good thing when they see (or scent it!) and end up going all Hulk-smash in an effort to keep their new honey-bunny safe.

Admittedly, Xarq didn't know Alyssa was his at first sight. Hey, some times it's not as cut and dried as other times. But once he did figure things out, he took care of business. Both with Alyssa (hubba-hubba) and with anyone trying to harm her.

On the downside, they had to be kidnapped by space pirates (with all the accompanying torture and mayhem that goes with that type of capture) before they acted on their bond. On the plus side, Xarq staked his claim in a BIG way.

A little danger, a few tense moments, and one genetically engineered beast of an alien who's not about to let his special someone get hurt. Yes!
