Okay, I was really close to skipping this one because Szaro’s appearance was a little too strange for me; however, I’m glad I didn’t because I liked this one even more than the first.

I like how Regine continued the series in a completely different way. It's still a marriage of convenience, but the circumstances, the world, and the characters are really contrasting. There’s a lot more action. Serena and Szaro were badass hunters but also nature lovers, and their romance developed through these shared experiences; like in I Married a Lizardman, the author made the story believable.

That being said, I’m gonna be 100% honest and admit that I picture Szaro’s upper body way differently from the cover, because his head is too snake-like for me, so I might have done a Pinterest search of “naga” and grabbed the one I liked the most, which is not how he is described.

This book was so strange... but it was actually well thought out. The romance was sweet and it was cute when she switched to calling him "my man". But really, it's so so strange. He's a snake! A snake (but with arms)!!! I really, really liked the part when he had to lay down the law on the folks that broke their laws. I was like, ah ok, so that's why no one messes with them...
