Synopsis (Goodreads):
Scaly, grumpy, but oh so cuddly...Thoughts on I Married a Lizardman: I was VERY MUCH in the mood for a little culture clash and sexy times with two individuals who are physically different (but still gloriously compatible), but who give their budding relationship their all. In other words, Susan and Olix hit the literary spot for me.
As a third daughter on the farming colony of Meterion, Susan’s future prospects aren’t too promising. A pretty face, top-notch skills, and hard work mean nothing if your dowry doesn’t include fertile lands. With her twenty-fifth birthday approaching, and no suitors even remotely sniffing in her general direction, Susan will be forced to leave the family lands to work as an indentured servant in the capital city. Her only way out is to settle for an arranged marriage through the PMA – the Prime Mating Agency. She just never expected to be paired to a grumpy, massive lizardman, and above all not to grow so fond of his scales and quirky ways.
With everything going on, the last thing Olix needs is a mate, especially a squishy, scaleless, off-worlder with strange ways, and an obsession with farming. He is a Hunter, not a dirt digger. The Seer must have been mistaken when she insisted that, for the sake of the people, he take a mate from the stars. How can such a tiny thing be their salvation? And yet, his Susan’s softness is disturbingly addictive while hiding a surprising resilience.
With his ancestral lands on the line and the future of the clans threatened, could this wisp of a woman turn their fate around?
With a bleak future in store on her home planet (let's just say that third daughters aren't much of a catch regardless of their skills), Susan accepts a mating arrangement on a distant planet with a man who is...not quite human. As it turns out, his non-humanness might take a little getting used to, but it isn't a deterrent at all when it comes down to it.
On his end, Olix is not thrilled to be taking a human for a mate. Mostly because she looks a wee bit frail and he can't see how she's going to help his people as the Seer foresaw. The good news? Although he might be uncertain, he doesn't let that uncertainty stand as a roadblock. In fact, after the initial awkwardness, he does his best to support his new hunny-bunny (even when he can see how she's trying to obliquely slide her newfangled farming ideas into the village to make farming more palatable) and is a genuinely fantastic mate.
As it turns out, Susan's not just a master farmer. She also has a good head for business and a quick mind that helps his people FAR more than either of them ever expected she'd be able to.
A few social stumbles, more than a few steamy encounters (did I mention the GLORIOUSLY COMPATIBLE part?), and a determined woman who isn't about to let the people in her new home down. AT ALL. In any way. The lady has fire and smarts and I LIKE IT!
