About this listen
She was ruined by an orc. Now, his enraged ex wants to finish the job…
In a world of orcs and powerful men, Kitty Clarendon is a bubbly, beautiful woman about town—until she's dumped by her benefactor and thrown onto the streets. As she's drowning her sorrows, she meets… an orc.
He's rash, reckless, and on the rebound—but his laugh is contagious, his touch warm and wicked. And for one perfect, forbidden night, he's all Kitty's darkest dreams come true.
But by morning, there's only shame. Regret. The orc quickly makes his escape, abandoning Kitty to a devastating discovery. She's been compromised. With his… orcling.
The orc never returns, and Kitty is left ill, impoverished, and hopeless. Until finally, another orc finds her. Varinn, of Clan Grisk. The first orc's best friend. And… his very recent ex.
Varinn can't hide his jealousy or his bitter, broken rage—but he refuses to leave Kitty behind. Soon, she's under his stern supervision and on her way to Orc Mountain. Back to the orc who so cruelly spurned her. The orc who's been losing his own battles and still longs for Varinn's firm handling… and his heart.
Can Kitty bring two hostile, heartbroken orcs back together for her orcling's sake? Or will they break her own heart, too?
An angsty, full-length, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. Comes after The Governess and the Orc but can be listened to as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.

My boyfriend cheated on me, so I bought a possibly haunted hot spring in BFE, Colorado. Oops. To make matters worse, the owner of my competition seems determined to crush my fledgling business at every turn. Oh, and the rumors are true… there’s an incubus demon trapped in my hot spring. Just when I think my life might get started, I find out my rival is blocking my contractor requests, making it impossible to get this dump running again. So, in a bid to save my business, I reluctantly negotiate with the demon: his infernal magic for my business's success. The catch?

In a world of warring orcs and men, Kesst of Clan Ash-Kai is a pawn. A pretty, pliant plaything bound to the cruelest orcs in the realm. Until the new healer storms in. He's huge, hostile, and hideous, with a powerful scarred body and terrifying ancient magic. It only takes one disastrous meeting before he and Kesst are bitter enemies, and Kesst vows to see the vile brute destroyed. Then a sudden deadly attack hurls his helpless body straight at the healer's feet. Kesst fully expects to be abandoned to his doom—instead, his new enemy picks him up, soothes his wounds, and carries him home.

Sorcha has spent her life helping raise her many siblings but now finally has the chance to seek her own adventures. At least, she did, before she was snatched from her horse and peddled by slavers. Taken far from home, she's brought to the worst place imaginable—the craggy western mountains infested with brutal, brutish orcs. All humans know to fear them and stay away, and now she's been sold to the cruelest clan chief of them all. But the first orc she meets is nothing like the stories. He's gentle. He frees her.

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 centuries I have suffered. Solidified and silenced, all because I failed to destroy what I was created for. Except now, after so long… There is a female. One who always seems to be by my side. Day after day. Night after night. She talks to me. Touches me. Tells me things. She shares stories of a world I no longer know. She is a reprieve from my punishment. A sweet delight. She liberates me from my solitude. But when I rise, my adversary seizes his opportunity, and she's caught between us. He only wants her to get to me. She isn't his. And I'll do anything to protect what's mine.

He insists he’ll find a way for us to be together, but I’ve fallen for pretty lies before, and I won’t give my heart again easily.

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.

Story
For centuries I have suffered. Solidified and silenced, all because I failed to destroy what I was created for. Except now, after so long… There is a female. One who always seems to be by my side. Day after day. Night after night. She talks to me. Touches me. Tells me things. She shares stories of a world I no longer know. She is a reprieve from my punishment. A sweet delight. She liberates me from my solitude. But when I rise, my adversary seizes his opportunity, and she's caught between us. He only wants her to get to me. She isn't his. And I'll do anything to protect what's mine.

Story
When I came to the subterranean kingdom of Driegon as a mail-order bride, I didn’t expect the dragon king to sweep me off my feet, take flight, and claim me as his mate. He says a mythical mating ritual called the Torrent proves we’re fated. Yeah, sure. Then I find out he’s almost engaged. He insists he’ll find a way for us to be together, but I’ve fallen for pretty lies before, and I won’t give my heart again easily.

Story
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.

Complex but engaging love triad

The effect that substance abuse has on an individual and its effect on relationships is respectfully and realistically represented, as is the recovery process.
It was nice to dive back into Clan Grisk and revisit favorite characters from previous books.
The bonus epilogue from Varinn’s POV at the end is a nice extra. James Joseph’s narration was great.
So much angst

So on to the story.
The story starts with the meeting of Kitty and Thrain. Kitty is a former, ahem escort ahem, who latched onto a wealthy trader in order to escape that life and has been his mistress for several years. To her shock and outrage Charles decides to dump her out of the blue, despite all her hardwork with the trading business, earning him contracts and such. Devastated and lost, Kitty finds herself drinking heavily at a pub where she meets Thrain.
Thrain struggles with alcoholism which is driven by a variety issues stemming from past trauma, stressful duties, and his deep unrequited love. Thrain has been in love with his BFF Varrin since childhood, and while Varrin seems to reciprocate those feelings, he denies Thrain a true relationship. Varrin desperately wants a son and finding a woman willing to mate an orc is impossible enough without expecting to find one willing to mate both of the. So Varrin has attempted to keep Thrain at a distance, despite his longing, because he doesn't want to hurt Thrain whe

Another Excellent Story

this one was slower paced. I did appreciate that this one had less lies and misconceptions. I did feel like I needed a little more drama in it because it felt like the book concluded in the middle of it and the second half of the book was just living about their lives. It is a slower paced story than the other books and it was enjoyable.
couldn't wait to hear about these two.
