Synopsis (Goodreads):

She once feared him but now cannot resist him…

After decades of violence, the war pitting the human colony on Cibbos against the Yurus tribe has finally ended. Lara never expected that peace between their species would lead to a romantic entanglement with one of their former enemies. Resembling a cross between an orc and a minotaur, Wonjin looks nothing like how Lara had imagined a potential mate. And yet, she cannot deny the attraction she feels.

When he finally makes his move, how can she refuse this grumpy, cuddly pile of muscles, with the fluffiest fur and cutest ears?

Thoughts on I Married Wonjin: Lara and Wonjin are up and I'm ready for them! As an aside, while they weren't matched by the PMA, they are DEFINITELY a solid couple. They had a few differences to get past (mostly because Lara's village had been raided on more than one occasion by the Yurus and Lara had to learn to look at what they were doing now instead of what came before) and a few social cues that went over Lara's head, but those weren't insurmountable.

That said, one of the things Lara had to wrap her head around first was that Wonjin might enjoy fighting (as most of the Yurus men do), but that's not the be-all and end-all of him as a person. He's smart. Really smart. He's also completely tongue-tied around Lara at first, so it takes a third party intervention before Lara begins to see him as a potential romantic partner.

But once she does...well, all bets are off. Wonjin gets his woo on and soon the two see just how compatible they are. Well, actually, the physical part doesn't happen right away because Wonjin is diabolical like that. He wants Lara to want him the way he wants her and he's willing to wait until they reach that point.

A smitten male, a lady who needs a little nudging, collaboration, courting gifts, a fight or two, and a whole lot of consent. All the things I'm here for.
