Synopsis (Goodreads):

He’s a beast only she can tame

When a dark portal spewing shadow beasts opens into a research facility, Kaida’s unit is dispatched to destroy them. The last thing she expects is for the massive dragon amidst the creatures to claim her. To avoid an intergalactic conflict, and to perform an important mission, she consents to a temporary marriage of convenience with the Shadow Lord Cedros. But with each passing day, she finds herself drawn to the sweet and socially awkward male who lurks within this strong and fearsome protector of his realm.

She’s his peace and his salvation

For decades, Cedros searched in vain for the one female who would silence his growing madness, take away the pain torturing his body, and end the loneliness and isolation that is the curse of a Shadow Lord. Who would have thought she would be an off-worlder? And yet, here she is, his little Kaida, a human so fragile, so delicate, and yet so strong. Her mere presence brings him divine peace. Her simple embrace awakens feelings and emotions he never thought possible.

How can he convince her to stay with him in this world so ill-adapted to her species, and when she didn’t come to him by choice, but out of duty?

Thoughts on I Married a Dragon: Yes! We're back with the PMA and they're negotiating a rather important marriage. (To be fair, they're all important, but this one has potential intergalactic ramifications if things don't go right.) This time around, we have a powerful Shadow Lord and the human lady who soothes him in ways she can't imagine.

Cedros had pretty much given up on finding his other half. In fact, even when he does find her, he never expects that she'll reciprocate his need for her. He knows she's only there because his people demanded it and he's grateful for whatever comfort she can give. Catching feelings for a human? Probably not going to happen. And even if he did, they're so different he doesn't expect her to feel the same.

Kaida is there to keep Cedros from falling into madness and to take away the pain his duty causes him. She's on a world that's very different from her own and that's an adjustment in itself. Throw in a shapeshifting dragon, void beasts, and a dangerous mystery that needs to be unraveled and things get complicated. That said, she's open-minded enough to try new things (like naked cuddling!) and she adapts fairly easily. Which is fortunate because those feelings Cedros caught for her are soon hitting her hard and fast.

A little danger, a beautiful new world, a bit if a socially awkward dragon, and a lady who takes the best sort of chances when she finds them. Good stuff.
