The Orc and the Innkeeper by Cora Crane
lighthearted
medium-paced
4.0
A cozy orc/ human romance set in the enchanting town of Elderberry falls.
A fake engagement with the fmc's high-school bully keeps the pair guessing whether their blooming feelings could be real.
Enter grovelling orc and a human struggling to trust the man who once tormented her.
The story looks at racial discrimination and prejudice several times within the plot, the world being a mixture of different magical races, all with backstories to their historical suffering and reason behind their feelings. This genrally light-hearted read also tugs at themes of bullying and the expections of children from their parents.
The setting for this tale is full of potential for further books in the series, i hope we get to see more of Thorak and Mariah.
For a monster romance, this was a sweet romance with some open door scenes and a 2/ 5 chilli rating.
I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy from netgalley of the Duel narrated Audiobook.
Both audio narrators were fantastic and brought the characters to life, their narration keeping with the style of the book.
Fav bit- Thorak's relationship with his sister and how he distanced himself from his parents to start his own business. We are proud of a self-made orc.
