M/M (gay) Furry/human romance book? (But not really furry. Read post for more info)

I know, weird, but hear me out. I guess I’m looking for a story where a cute big burly guy stumbles across an anthropomorphic being, could be like a monster, or something like beast from beauty & the beast, but basically, this guy’s whole world gets turned upside down when he comes across this being, and then, secretly maybe, they begin to fall in love. I don’t actually want a full on furry type thing, more like something akin to the beauty and the beast but not necessarily with the kidnapping aspect or the Stockholm syndrome. I’m also not looking for a kids book, like, I know I mentioned the beauty and the beast, but the Disney story for kids vibe is not what I’m going for exclusively. I’m not against it but I’d rather read something more… steamy, even erotica, but it’s not a must.

I would like for the “monster” of the story to be burly and preferably similar to a bear or an alligator/crocodile, but I’m open to other “species” (I don’t mind hybrid species like beast, who had horns, dog like feet, human like hands with claws and a bear like body)

Also, it must have a happy ending where the two guys end up together happily ever after 🙂

So yeah, let me know of your recommendations!

Thanks!
