Loved by the Lion by Evangeline Anderson

A Monstrum Warrior who has vowed never to claim a bride… An older woman who thinks she’s done with love… Can they come together to save the Earth…and each other? What’s the worst Christmas present imaginable? A cheating husband? An angry mob outside your front door? What about menopause? Minister Emilia Oxley has gotten all three this Yuletide season and she could do without them all, thank you very much. Enter Chief Commander Rarev, the leader of the Monstrum Kindred. He’s had his eye on Emilia from the start. Her courage and determination are incredibly attractive to him, as are her lovely full curves. Also, he can tell by her scent that she’s entering her Second Mating Period—the time of life when a female is most attractive to a Feline Monstrum. Since Rarev is a Lionus Monstrum, he can’t help but notice that Emilia is ripe for the plucking. After he rescues her from an angry mob, the two of them find themselves on a mission to Rigellen Five. There they must compete against three other couples in a series of Trials to earn the right to mine Yillium. The rare mineral is what the Monstrum need in order to defend the Earth from the Darklings, ravenous creatures from another universe which are threatening to overrun the planet. Only if Em and Rarev win the Rigellen Trials can they gain the rights to the Yillium. But since the Rigellen people believe in public displays affection, the Trials are an intimate affair—extremely intimate. Can Em and Rarev come together to save the Earth…and might they find love in the process? Listen to Loved by the Lion to find out! *Author''s note—there is a scene in here that might bother anyone who has ever been attacked before, but I promise it comes out all right in the end. Please listen responsibly!
