The Orc Blacksmith's Bride by K.L. Wyatt

4.0

This is the second in a series of standalones. I haven’t read the other but there are some brief moments where old characters show up in this one. I don’t think it’s necessary to read them in order. I do plan on going back to read book 1 eventually.
The story was a super quick read, that I was able to finish in one sitting. The characters fell for each other very quickly. I think there was a really good balance of plot to romance/spice. The plot was very straight forward. I thought they had cute chemistry with each other. The spice was interesting to read once it started in the 2nd half. 
I probably would have liked this more if we had more time with each of the characters. Neither felt super distinct in their characterization. There wasn’t anything wrong with either of them, just nothing that made them stand out in my head. 
Overall this was a fun read, good palate cleanser in between longer books. I’m definitely interested in reading more from this author.
