Sadly a common trope. A supposed heartless monster or whatever suddenly tamed and timid before the FL. Despite the fact that if that happened IRL the woman would immediately lose interest and all respect in him.
All of the romance plots of all of these stories are some variation of Beauty and the Beast, so they all are a bit wrong and twisted from the start.
