The Governess and the Orc by Finley Fenn
5.0
This is my new favourite book, and couple, in the Orc Sworn Series by [a:Finley Fenn|18920464|Finley Fenn|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1557924458p2/18920464.jpg] - Finley took the relationship dynamic found in [b:The Maid and the Orcs|59231162|The Maid and the Orcs (Orc Sworn, #6)|Finley Fenn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1633562000l/59231162._SY75_.jpg|93379286] and may (until now) favourite Orc, John Ka and somehow made them better!
Geva is the proud, curvy, bipoc, governess who is suddenly in need of a new position and offered not only a new job, but also the opportunity to return to her parent's place of birth and people who look like her.
Rathgarr is the dadbod hottie, arrogant, controlling, manipulative, non-trusting, but also surprisingly sweet, caring, considerate, family-focused orc that not only offers the new opportunities but inadvertently shows Geva a new way of life and family.
I absolutely loved the power dynamics and give-and-take of their growing partnership, Geva's realisation that she can find a new way, the way Rath's and Kesst's family reunion and rebuildling of their relationship is portrayed in all its messy glory and the orclings!
Kesst's story can be found in [b:The Sins of the Orc|60864277|The Sins of the Orc (Orc Forged #1)|Finley Fenn|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1650676834l/60864277._SY75_.jpg|95991551], which is book one of Orc Forged
Rath's disassociation when placed in difficult conversations and situations as well as how Geva comes to identify the small tell-tale signs was so sensitively written, as was Sune's preferred way of communication. The addition of the school, the orclings and their parents, as well as the glimpses we see of our other favourite Orc relationships made this an absolute joy to read. The orclings stole my heart from the very first time they are introduced.
Highly recommended reading.
5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
