Short, sweet, sexy and utterly delightful. Everything I look for in a paranormal fantasy romance novella. Plus some really good world-building too!

 It was too short for any development, and as a result, we have time skips where most of their interactions are just narrated to the reader. I would have liked to actually READ those scenes, not just read ABOUT them. While it is strictly a standalone, and you don’t NEED to read the other books in the series, there is zero world building, so if you haven’t read the other books (or at least one of them) then you’ll probably get a little lost. I did.

I adored this cosy dual POV urban fantasy/ monster romance novella. The chemistry, banter, steamy scene, and magical creatures were all perfect, and I loved the heartwarming HEA

GREEN-EYED MONSTER was a fun and cute read and I liked the combination of paranormal creatures and mundane college life. Due to page length the world building is pretty sparse but I didn't mind that. Solandis and Hyrak were both really great characters; Solandis is earthy and compassionate and I appreciated that she enjoys sex and isn't afraid to ask for what she wants. Hyrak was a half-orc getting his business degree and I about died once I realized that he wore glasses. I am here for nerdy orcs! A fluffy paranormal romance that you can read in one sitting.

This is so cute. It’s very short and basically a meet cute, get together and happy ending. It’s very easy and sweet and takes no time to finish

Squee!!! This novella was so! fricking! adorable! 

A modern fantasy romance about an orc and a forest faerie in college. 

They meet, crush on each other HARD, and get together. Super low angst, but also the cutest thing ever. 

World building wise, it’s just a quick preview into the series universe, and I’m looking forward to reading the full length books!
