Synopsis (Goodreads):

He is the Beast of her dreams.

Belle prayed for the day she would meet her Beast. As a proud monster lover, she signs up with the Prime Mating Agency for a chance to be paired with an exotic alien. The one she’s matched with exceeds her wildest fantasies. With four eyes to better see her, four arms to better hold her, and a rumbling voice that curls her toes, Bayron is the perfect mix of cinnamon roll personality sprinkled with a hefty dose of grumpy to make her melt.

Bayron wasn’t looking for a mate when a PMA agent convinced him to marry, and with a human at that. He’s still baffled about why he agreed. Compared to a Zamorian female, Belle is delicate, disturbingly eager, and nothing like the submissive female he’d always assumed he wanted. And yet, her boldness, straightforwardness, and eternal enthusiasm stir a possessiveness in him that cannot be denied.

But as events of his past clash with their future, will they be able to overcome their cultural differences, or will adversity tear them apart?

Thoughts on I Married a Beast: We're back with the PMA, letting them do their thing as they spread love all across the known (and not always as well known) galaxy. Seeing as how they have a gift for finding unconventional matches that work EXCEEDINGLY well, I'm here for all the sex-ay shenanigans.

This time around, we have Belle and Bayron. She's a human who's VERY excited to be matched with a non-standard alien. He's an alien with a reputation. Not necessarily a good one, either. However, Belle is quick to discover that Bayron has a heart of gold and his reputation was earned more from his people's love of stretching the rules (it's a cultural thing that put a lot into perspective) rather than anything else.

A hunt on the planet that soured a lot of people on her new mate, a fierce battle outside the purview of the hunt, an unexpected protector, Belle's fierce defense of her man, a lot of steam, and a chance at putting the past behind them. Belle and Bayron work well together (as one would expect when the PMA matches them) and they make things happen in the best sort of way. *thumbs up*
