I Married A Lizardman by Regine Abel

4.0

This was an adorable read. What I noticed is the way in which the human fmc doesn't try to change the way of living of the lizard people that are indigenous to the planet. Instead, she tried to find ways to incorporate her knowledge of farming in a way that both respected their history and land, and that would primarily benefit the indigenous people. 

A lot of times in these types of romances, the aliens are portrayed as "savages" that just need to get in line, with an fmc or mmc that "successfully" convinces them to do so. I really appreciate that the author showed the blending of cultures and knowledge in a respectful and realistic manner. The chemistry between the main characters was very well done, with a few small setbacks due to cultural setbacks. But neither one of them gets infantalized.

I'd definitely recommend this!
