Starts off slow, but I stuck with it and am very glad I did. Was kind of bummed when, at about the 90% mark, I realized the RH aspect wasn't going to be fully formed by the end of the book, and that I'd have to wait to read the next one, but the pace is building up the core relationships to a degree that makes the length (and wait) worth it. God I hope it's spicy af.

Every time the orc hero, Grimarr, had a chance NOT to betray/humiliate the human heroine, Jule, he always chose to betray her. Even after a very convincing grovel. I'd give it one star, but the writing is otherwise pretty good, although the narrative sometimes lost its medieval vibe with overly modern-sounding language.

Book ends on a cliffhanger. If there’s an HEA, it’s in book 2. Highly irritated right now. And after what Liam did—twice—I’m not sure I care.
