LOVE this book! This is a reverse harem, touch-her-and-die, orc and curvy human romance. The first part of the book, we get to know the MFC: an introverted curvy woman with an extroverted best friend that is just trying to keep her head above water within the clubbing scene. Next thing, she’s in a magical realm. Then we get more magical stuff, torn-between-two-worlds drama, orc mating rules, LOTS of spicy scenes and absolutely no “fade to black” nonsense. This book has it all, folks. Look no further for your romantasy fix. This was my first reverse harem, and I think it did a phenomenal job of balancing the characters. I would highly recommend it for beginners of this type of trope. Would give it 5 stars, but I needed it to be longer, and the writing was a tad bit choppy and blunt. Also, I was super frustrated with the MFC, she had me worried throughout the whole book, but that ending SAVED IT for me!
Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Cursing
Minor: Addiction and Fatphobia
This story is mostly lighthearted, but please keep in mind that there is A LOT of sexual content. There is also very brief fatphobia directed towards the MFC (not from MMCs). Also, very brief mention of drug addiction relating to a side character, not the MCs.
