Thank you to Cora Crane, RBmedia and NetGalley for giving me access to this book in return for an honest review.

Oh lordy! This one is GREAT!

I hit play and within minutes, Jack Calihan’s voice had me ready to scream! And yes, I listened at 2.0x speed and still wanted to melt. That orc has a mouth on him, and I’d gladly let him ruin my peace and quiet (wink, wink). Because seriously, why settle for a human when you can have a hulking orc with emotional depth and a filthy vocabulary?

These two are adorable together in a way that makes you blush and coo. I wasn’t expecting to like this nearly as much as I did, but gods above, I am now fully invested in this series.

This book left no crumbs. You get the heat, you get the tension, and you get the kind of emotional conflict that makes you feel things. The perfect little fantasy-romance cocktail. More please!
