Synopsis (Goodreads):

Adrian Davis thought getting on a real-life, ‘beam me up, Scotty’, transport pad was adventure enough. Visiting her mother—and the Atlan beast her mom had chosen as a mate—on another planet? Setting foot in an Atlan prison? Completely crazy.

Like totally, bat-shit, what-the-hell-was-she-doing-with-her-life crazy.

She was supposed to spend a few days wandering around with her twin sister, seeing the sights, expanding her horizons. The trip was supposed to be a much needed break from the hectic schedule she was keeping in school. She was only nineteen. She had plans. Finish college. Medical school. Husband. House. Two-point-five perfect kids and a golden retriever named Buddy.

All that changed with one roar of pain. She heard him. A beast. He was out of control, locked behind an impenetrable wall, alone. Suffering the agony of mating fever.

Ready to die. Forsaken.

Adrian can’t let him go. She will have to fight a centuries old system, warlords on another world, and the beast himself to get what she wants.

To save him.

To keep him for herself.

Thoughts on Bargain with a Beast: Adrian (along with her twin sister) might have thought things moved quickly between her mother and Maxus, but she miiiiiight have them beat. I mean, the lady heard her beast roaring, knew he was the one, and managed to finagle her way into his cell to be claimed by him. The teeny, tiny roadblocks they need to get around to have their HEA? Well, Kovo is imprisoned for one. He's scheduled to be executed within hours. And he absolutely has his reasons for trying to stay as far away from Adrian as he can.

Too bad his beast wasn't on board with any of that. Really, his beast does all the work. He gets Adrian's attention with his roar, gives her all the sexy times she can handle (well, considering their limited time, I guess), and gets himself well and truly mated in no time flat.

There's just that pesky matter of his upcoming execution they need to work around.

On Adrian's end, she knows Kovo is hers the moment she hears him. And nothing is going to get between her and her honey. Well, except a guard or two. And that 2 story drop. No, wait. That last one doesn't stop her. Kovo's situation is not pretty and things take a TURN on the two of them, but that's not going to stop her from doing whatever she has to do to be with her male.

A morally gray doctor who definitely has things percolating in the background, a bad situation, a male who has lost all hope, and a lady who doesn't mind breaking a few laws to save the male she loves. *thumbs up*
