Newly independent FMC meets reluctant, grumpy love interest.
I really enjoyed this book. Zoe Ashwood has an easy to read writing style, which flows beautifully. This is the second book in a new paranormal monster romance series but each book can be read as a standalone. The story is set in a fantasy world of Orcs and humans. There are descriptive scenes of a sexual nature between consenting adults. The worldbuilding is great and the characters are relatable.I've read several of her other books and I've enjoyed them all.
Poppy is on the run, alone and destitute. After her father died she was left with nothing but a locket left to her by her Mother and a letter her father wrote with instructions for Poppy to deliver to his friend. Her step-mother has reported her to the authorities, accusing her of theft for taking her own belongings. Poppy’s only option is to travel and search for her father’s friend. What her father didn’t tell her was that this friend is an Orc.
Steagor finds Poppy starving and feverish in the woods. He reads the letter that Poppy’s father has written to him, which requests that he take on the role of Poppy’s guardian, protecting her and finding her a suitable husband. A task he feels honour-bound to carry out, despite recognising Poppy as the true mate he has been seeking.
I raced through this book in one evening. It is filled with all the things you want in a romance novel; a little conflict, a little danger along the way, a lot of steam and the story ends with a happy ever after.
If you like Monster Romance with a determined and independent FMC, then this is the book for you.
The reading order for this series so far:
