Why read it?

2 authors picked I Married A Naga as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What makes I Married a Naga stand out is the hero. He’s a half-humanoid, half-snake alien. The heroine is human.

I had hesitated to read I Married a Naga because it involved snake people. Snakes?  No thanks! But I kept seeing the book and finally decided to give it a try. Thanks to author Regine Abel’s excellent storytelling, I got accustomed to the idea of a snake-man.

He’ll never be my favorite book boyfriend, but I warmed to him and thoroughly enjoyed the unforgettable characters and world-building.

All hail the queen of sci-fi romance. Regine Abel is one of the most prolific and well-respected authors in the genre. She’s dozens of dozens of titles and they’re exceptional. This one in particular features an actual alien-looking lizard alien who is obsessed with the heroine. In addition to a truly alien-looking hero, the heroine is well-rounded with drive and skills as a huntress. 

From Elizabeth's list on alien romances featuring heroines of color.
