This is coziest and lowest angst story set in the Orc Sworn world. It’s a fun festive holiday story and I love that that characters are all older (40+). Ezog is the just the absolute sweetest and Tryg is a charming devious Skai.

A quick, fun holiday orc novella featuring MMF romance (2 older male orcs, 1 female human in her 40s). Nice story to read in the cold winter nights around Yule, or anytime you're looking for something to stoke your fire.

This can even be picked up as a first orc romance. Some things are not fully expanded on, but they're not necessary to enjoy the story.

This is high on my list of favourites. Skai shenanigans, and a sweet Bautal whose innocence and heart made mine absolutely melt. Ezog must be protected at all costs and Tryg (true to Skai fashion) takes that role very seriously and pulls off his scheme flawlessly. This is not without its typical angst but the story simply wouldn’t be complete without it. Loved it!!

Yule wishlist 2022:

1. Orc (or 2)
2. Orc books
3. To live in Orc Mountain
4. Did I already say orcs?

Finley is the queen of orcs. I have to resist the urge to binge the entire series because I don’t want to be caught up but damn! Her angst is just ON POINT. Even in this 100ish page novella I was feeling the angst. She’s amazing and I love her and this novella.

Read more orcs!
