Synopsis (Goodreads):
Abducted from Earth.
Left for dead in a world full of monsters.
Claimed by the most dangerous one of all…

Xara’s quiet life comes to an abrupt end when she is abducted by aliens. Her situation goes from bad to worse when she crash lands on a mysterious alien planet. She’s injured, alone, and every creature on the planet seems determined to kill her.

Until one of them saves her.

Huge, silent, and scarred, he doesn’t speak, doesn’t smile, and doesn’t let her out of his sight. But he cares for her. Feeds her. Protects the orphaned alien babies who’ve imprinted on her.

The Xenobeast was designed for destruction. Exiled by the creators who once controlled him, he’s lived in isolation for years. Until a pretty little female stumbles into his domain with fire in her eyes and a scent that drives him mad. She’s soft where he’s hard. Light where he’s dark. And every time she looks at him, he forgets the monster they made him to be.

But when Xara is threatened, he’ll show them exactly how lethal he can be - because no one takes what belongs to him.
Thoughts on Xara and the Xenobeast: Xara is in a bit of a situation. She woke up on a crashed spaceship (her last memories were decidedly NOT of being on said spaceship) on a planet that's a little bit deadly. To be fair, any planet where one doesn't know the terrain or the biological hazards would be deadly. But this planet has A LOT that can kill an individual. That said, the planet is livable. Mostly. Plus, Xara's background in biology means she has a few skills that might help keep her alive.

The Xenobeast is intrigued by Xara. He's managed to carve out an existence on this planet after being exiled here. He's survival focused, keeps to himself, and is strangely drawn to the female who shows surprising empathy for creatures weaker than her. While it goes against his training as a weapon designed only for destruction, he can't help but step in when Xara and the pups she rescued needs him. Now the stoic alien is playing house with a determined human woman and three pups and...he's kind of liking it.

A dangerous planet, intelligent natives, a homey cave, predatory aliens who need to be stopped, a bioengineered male who is far more than a weapon, and a lady who finds a way to adapt to a terrible situation and finds exactly the place she's meant to be. *thumbs up*
