High smut, low plot. Book follows wedding events of an imaginary culture that revolves around different types of sex over a 3 day period. The one plot point that could have actually made this into a story was magically resolved and they all lived happily ever after in sex filled bliss.

Cute and innocent - slow and pretty much just an “ugly” dude and “old” woman choosing love over others. It’s cute but I was bored.

It was aggressively fine and quite deeply boring. Cute at times, extremely low stress. It was basically just vanilla boring sex scene after vanilla boring sex scene with basically no other content. I would have liked more of them actually getting to know each other and some other content outside of just them fucking in the most dull way ever. The writing was pretty damn rough… and there were several lines that were literally word for word repeated. Don’t think I’ll bother with any of this authors other work but I’m not mad I read this just bored. To be fair I wholeheartedly hate the whole innocent virgin that doesn’t know anything is taught by her possessive husband thing and that’s what this entire novella was.

I’ve never read an orc romance before but this was so sweet and spicy
