Romantasy orc smut at its finest! A very good, solid, adorable, adventurous read. Highly recommend for any monster smut lover. I will admit, the first half of the will-they-won’t-they, withholding of important information rocky start was EXTREMELY frustrating. I understand that it was needed, but it does not make for relaxing reading. This is the first book I have read from this author & I enjoyed it so much that my fingers are itching to order the previous elf one. Some quick tropes included in this one: orc & human romance, he falls first & HARD, possessive fated mate orc general, dirty talking/filthy minded MMC, inexperienced yet hrny FMC, touch-her-and-die moments, etc. It’s dual point of view, and I must say that the two MCs were written very well! I really resonated with the FMC because I too focused diligently on my studies that I forgot to find myself a hot orc boyfriend. Took off points because the ending felt rushed, especially when compared with the slow burn romance in the beginning.
