An absolute delight! Because it’s so short, my expectations were not too high, but this book knocked it out of the park! It’s short, but packed with action, adventure, extra steamy spice, and an adorable love story. Not to mention, the most badass heroine I have read thus far! Basically, our FMC is a rough and tough guard for her small group of humans that are residing in orc territory. We get fighting scenes right away, and a chance meeting with our sexy orc MMC. The good kind of chaos ensues! Also, the FMC is the domme and it’s super HOT. He’s a big, strong chief orc, but when they’re alone, he can’t say no to her 🥵
Much like the characters, the world building is also fantastic. It’s a historical fantasy; however, the characters talk in a more modern dialogue. The orcs and humans speak the same language, which helps the pacing move a bit faster.
Here are some tropes for ya if I haven’t convinced you yet:
💚 Forbidden love monster & human romance
⚔️ Sassy badass warrior FMC
🫖 Protective teddy bear MMC
💚 He falls first, and hard
⚔️ touch her/him and die tag team
💚 HEA

Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Cursing and Violence
Minor: Kidnapping, Death of parent, War, and Injury/Injury detail
This is a short one, but please check trigger warnings if you’re not use to monster smut. Some of the content includes: brief mention of death of parents (off page, historical), very brief threat of being a sex slave/rape, the FMC is technically kidnapped but she’s a fighter, orc vs orc wars with humans caught in the crossfires, sexual content, violent fighting scenes (not too graphic imo), etc.
