My journey through Orc Mountain continues!

I think this is my favorite so far. Joarr is an absolute delight. He’s so funny and earnest, and I love all the silly good times he and Gwynn have together. I also loved Gwynn immensely. She is smart and stubborn and so supportive of her fellow women. She also struggles with anxiety and self-doubt, and Joarr is there to hold a mirror up to her so that she can see how resilient and kind and fun she truly is. 

I giggled and kicked my feet through this book, but I also really appreciated the themes around r3productiv3 r!ghts and women’s health. Themes like that are not what one would typically expect from a monster romance, but I felt it was very well done and very relevant to today’s environment.

I would also like to mention that the CW/TW in this book include: on-page $elf-h@rm, @bortion, and misc@rriage among other things, so give them a once over before picking this one up 💚
