Synopsis (Goodreads):
Escape. Locate. Claim.

Condemned Izaean Berserker K’laus didn’t expect to find his fated mate in a medical bay. Or for her to be human. He certainly didn’t expect to have to watch her walk away from him.

Escaping the station is easy. Tracking his mate down on a planet alien to him is a little harder. Claiming her heart might just take all the magic that Christmas has to offer.

Especially when he can’t tell her he’s not the man she thinks he is…

No time for Christmas, she has a job to do. One that doesn’t include falling in love.

Holly was the best gen-modded predator keeper on the planet. Until one of her charges used her as a chew toy. Literally. Now the only job she can find is her personal nightmare; Deer keeper in a Christmas resort.

Whatever. She just has to survive until Christmas. Which doesn’t include falling for the resort’s charming, handsome driver. But he is cute and he seems familiar…

When her annoying ex drops the bombshell that her new crush isn’t who he says he is, can she see past the lie, and accept the truth in her handsome alien's heart?
Thoughts on An Alien Berserker for Christmas: When Holly ends up in an alien hospital after being attacked by one of her gen-modded animal charges, two things happen: She finds out who her friends really are and the berserker warrior in the bed next to her realizes she's his special someone. To be fair, Holly herself doesn't realize these things until after she's healed and been released, but the catalyst is that hospital stay.

First up, her boyfriend-ish is terrible. Good riddance to finding out he's not nearly as invested in the relationship as Holly maybe was. Second, K'laus. The Izaean might be considered unstable by Lathar standards, but he knows a good thing when he sees her. And Holly is VERY MUCH his good thing.

So when she's released, he does what any good warrior would do in his shoes and escapes the hospital to hunt her down. Not in a creepy way, though. Well, mostly not in a creepy way. Let's just say that he might have bent (and downright broken) the truth a little to get close to Holly, but he also found a place for himself in the holiday-themed resort town he ended up in. A few encounters and a night spent in snowed-in bliss and just mayyyybe he can convince Holly he's the one for her.

A resort with a whole lot of Christmas cheer, an ex who is a genuinely terrible person, a herd of reindeer, an alien warrior who will do what eh need to do to keep his special someone safe, and a lady who finds she doesn't hate Christmas nearly as much as she thought she did. *thumbs up*
