About this listen
Desperate to find answers to the whereabouts of her niece, Ellyn does the unthinkable and releases a criminal brought in from the Perished Woods. Believing him to be nothing more than a man caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, she enlists his aid as a tracker. But the dark night can only shield his true form from her view for so long and when Ellyn finally looks into Ash's ghostly eyes, she knows exactly what type of monster she's released. An orc . . . the same fearsome beast responsible for the burning of her niece’s village. Forced into the cursed woods with a traveling companion he never meant to keep, Ash wants nothing more than to lose the girl, but the longer he walks with Ellyn at his side, he realizes he's more apt to lose himself.

On a ruined world, I fell in love with a monster. And now he's back. Not that it matters. He is an orc warrior. I am a human woman. Amid a blasted Earth ruined by invasion, Yggy was always kind to me. His handsome face caused me to fall in love. Until one night, when I realized his love for me would lead to my death. Against all protests from my heart, I had to leave Yggy. But my orc never stopped searching for me. He never gave up. He always loved me. But when he found me, he found someone else that shocked him to his core. Our child.

A year ago, one of the males in my village hurt me. When he tried to do it a second time, I took care of that problem—permanently. Then I'm selected for the annual Monster Mate Hunt where two village women must enter the forest to be claimed as an orc's bride. If an orc tries to take me, I'll handle him just as I did the man in my village. To my dismay, I'm captured by a band of treacherous thieves. I'm planning my escape when an enormous, snarly orc attacks the camp. He slays the thieves and announces I'm his fated mate.

Instead, I'm rescued from a fierce predator by a towering purple alien with a tail and color-changing tattoos who ignites strange feelings inside me.

Scoring a job at the exclusive and secretive Hotel Castle Verna is exactly what I need to pay off my debt and avoid a punishment I might not survive. The guests are a little eccentric, but they are great tippers. All I have to do is ignore the strange sights, smells, and sounds coming from the guest rooms, and I can remain gainfully employed. Simple, right? Except there's one guest at the hotel who's always watching me with his mismatched black and white eyes.

For my kind, to be without a mate is to be doomed. I know it is too late–all that awaits me is retirement and death, and I’ve embraced it. But when a suicide mission lands on my old boss’s desk, I’m the one he calls. Who better to tackle the mission in the deep, oppressive mines of my own ancestral homeland, if not an Arachnae already slated to die? And it’s not a rescue mission–he wants me to retrieve the corpse of a billionaire’s daughter kidnapped by a terrorist organization. Except our intel was wrong. She’s alive. Tortured and injured–but alive.

Unlike the other women here, I don't want to marry one of the . . . okay, fine—gorgeous—Mitran males. After I'm called to testify at my ex's trial, I'm getting back my life on Earth. But Ruzak, the aloof warlord who holds himself apart from the throng of males hoping for a bride, needs my help identifying a spy who may not be as human as she appears. One wrinkle: Ruzak is much more interesting than he appears.

But when Anita’s quest for revenge takes her across the borders of an enigmatic neighboring empire, she uncovers a dangerous secret that could upend the fragile balance of the galaxy. Meanwhile, Ceirran’s heir apparent Otávio Julhan grows more and more powerful in the capital that Anita has left behind.

The Perished Woods book 2 is about a half orc/half human who has no place in the world and just wants to fit in. He is currently living in the perished woods as a tracker. One day he see’s our FMC running from attackers through the woods and rescues her. She doesn’t quiet trust him as most people have a hard time trusting the orcs with the army running rampant from village to village decimating them.
This is a GREAT series for adults with adult characters.
This is not an instalove type of story, these characters really had to work for it and I find that extremely refreshing. I loved the writing, story flow, slow burn and the HEA. There are some dark elements in this book, please check the TW’s. I also enjoyed the narration, I feel it fit the characters very well.

Well written, interesting world build, dual POV, good narration , interesting likable characters with depth and growth and flaws. The MMC was particularly entertaining and likable.
It’s a standalone story but ties in to a greater storyline for the series. Was longer than books like this normally are and that was awesome. Plenty of action, unique places and characters and even some humor. While not the steamiest, there are a few respectably entertaining😉 sex scenes. The development of the relationship is really where it’s at rather than the smut. The story is to long with to much violence and drama to call it an lite or easy read. Having said that, it does have that more lite entertaining HEA romantasy feel. No dull moments or super dense Tolkien style world building,details, or backstory. This is a must if you’re a fan of fantasy monster romance with a touch of violence,drama, humor, a bit of steam, a good amount of action, and a very sweet HEA.
All together it’s a wonderful story and more than worth a credit.

Narration Type: Dual Narration
In this captivating fantasy romance, the author takes a familiar concept—beauty meets beast—and filters it through a more emotionally grounded lens. Ellyn and Ash, our unlikely pair, are not just star-crossed; they’re caught in a tangle of trauma, political unrest, and personal redemption.
🌿 The Heroine: Ellyn
Ellyn, a city-dwelling inn manager with a mind for numbers and a heart heavy with familial guilt, finds her orderly world shattered when refugees from the Perished Woods arrive with harrowing stories—one of which hits disturbingly close to home. Her sense of duty, tinged with a longing to atone for past choices, drives her into unknown territory both literally and emotionally.
The narrative paints Ellyn with a balanced mix of competence and vulnerability. While she’s initially sympathetic, her decision-making takes a sharp dive into “too naïve to survive” territory midway through. It’s a frustrating lapse that undercuts her earlier credibility and shifts the tension from “will she survive?” to “will she learn anything?”
🌲 The Hero: Ash
Ash is a half-Orc tracker—a figure of contradiction. Neither accepted by human society nor aligned with the brutal Orc horde, he lives on the fringes, both socially and geographically. His moral compass leans toward protection over violence, yet the world sees his appearance and assumes the worst.
Physically, Ash breaks the mold. Readers expecting a traditional green-skinned brute may be surprised by his gray complexion and fang-bearing, tuskless face. This detail adds plausibility to his early concealment from Ellyn, and hints at a more nuanced take on orcish identity within the genre.
🗺️ Plot and Political Intrigue
What begins as a personal search-and-rescue quickly scales into a broader political drama. The realm of Pontheugh simmers with unrest: a passive king, a manipulative Mage, and an ambitious Witch-Queen allied with the Orc King. These elements heighten the stakes beyond mere romance or survival, giving the narrative an added layer of depth.
Ellyn’s emotional tether to her missing niece—intertwined with her complex relationship with her cruel sister Celia—grounds the narrative in grief and longing. Meanwhile, Ash’s sense of otherness parallels Ellyn’s growing distrust in the institutions she once believed in, making their alliance more layered than your typical fated-pair trope.
That said, one major turning point hinges on Ellyn’s questionable judgment, which creates a jarring tonal shift. Readers invested in strong, competent heroines might find this moment difficult to reconcile.
❤️ Romance and Pacing
The romance simmers before igniting. Ash’s initial reluctance to take Ellyn with him—followed by his fierce protectiveness—feels earned rather than rushed. Their chemistry builds through survival scenarios and mutual vulnerability, culminating in steamy but emotionally resonant scenes. The story doesn’t rely on spice alone to move the plot forward, which is refreshing in a genre sometimes heavy on heat, light on substance.
🎧 Audiobook Performance
The dual narration—Allison River for Ellyn, John Masterson for Ash—adds a welcome texture to the listening experience. River’s delivery is gentle, though it occasionally misses the emotional intensity of high-stakes scenes. Masterson, on the other hand, embodies Ash’s calm strength with gravitas, lending the Orc hero a powerful sense of presence.
---
Final Thoughts
This story delivers a compelling blend of romantic tension, high fantasy world-building, and socio-political intrigue. While Ellyn’s lapse in judgment may leave some readers shaking their heads, the overall arc—especially Ash’s quiet strength and the textured exploration of prejudice and trust—makes this an engrossing read.
For fans of Tamed by the Troll, this installment expands the universe while maintaining the emotional core that made the earlier book resonate. If you’re drawn to morally gray landscapes, misunderstood monsters, and slow-burning redemption, this one’s worth the trek into the Perished Woods.
