I Married A Lizardman by Regine Abel
5.0

The agent burst out laughing. “You know our success rates, Susan. I take great pride in my work and in the happiness of my clients. This may look unappealing to you, and right now you may be feeling rather discouraged, but don’t be. Olix is your perfect husband. Trust me, by the time the trial period is over, you will thank me for pairing you with your soulmate.”

Listen I downloaded this book on a whim... I didn't expect to 1. Love this book as much as I did 2. Fall for Olix. 3. Did not expect to buy all 5 books as soon as I finished reading this because I had to own it.

We start the story of meeting Susan, who is a third daughter and has decided to sign up for intergalactic arranged marriages as there is not much for her one her homeland. We meet Olix, who is the clan leader who is desperate to ensure his peoples survival.

oh... my... literally from the start we get awkwardness and confusion and acceptance and Susan willing to learn about her new home and people. We get a grave error made during the mating ceremony and an awkward first night, but it does get better, BOY does it so much better. I love how adorable Olix is when figuring out human females and how different they are to his own. He is such a huge teddy bear in a reptilian predator and his attention and adoration of Susan is so heartwarming. This books even gives you such a background on the Andturians and their reluctancy and background when dealing with farming.

This book is everything and I will recommend it to everyone. This is such a cute book and love story and please, PLEASE, Olix is EVERYTHING
