Publisher's summary

She’s fallen for an angel…but he’s mated to a monster.

In a realm of orcs and powerful men, housemaid Alma Andersson is drowning—in grief, debt, and drudgery. When her awful employer makes his darkest demand yet, she flees for the forest and tumbles toward her doom… Until she’s snatched to safety by a huge, vicious green beast. An orc.

He’s utterly terrifying, with his towering bulk, sharp teeth, and deadly black claws—but his touch is gentle, and his eyes are kind. And his scent is a deep, decadent sweetness, sparking a furious flame between them.

But it’s only more disaster because Alma’s shy, soft-hearted rescuer is already mated to another orc. A tall, silent, snarling monster named Drafli, who loathes Alma on sight and clearly longs for her death.

Yet Drafli will do anything for his sweet mate, even if it means tolerating a weak, worthless human. So he makes Alma a cold, calculated offer: he’ll share his mate with her…but only on his terms. He wants her silence. Her surrender. Her servitude.

With Alma’s fate firmly in Drafli’s ruthless hands, how can she face her own dark desires—or all the secrets hidden behind Orc Mountain’s walls? Can a lost, lonely housemaid come between two orcs without being crushed?

The Maid and the Orcs is a dark, angsty, full-length, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. It comes after The Midwife and the Orc but can be enjoyed as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.

The best book in this series!!!

Finally!! I almost gave up on this series, It was almost painful to listen bc it was over and over “you lied to me, I lied to you, but you lied to me again! I can’t trust you, but you lied to me and I lied to you. This is the LAST time I trust you…..” It was just a vicious cycle. Some book didn’t worth a star. The only kinda “ok” was a “Librarian and Orc”. But THIS BOOK was a pleasant surprise!!! The story was AMAZING!! I hope the author will continue in this direction 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Two Orcs Are Better Than One

If I could give this book ten stars, I would. Ms. Fenn has done it again with another fantastic book about sexy orcs living in Orc Mountain. The love scenes were breathtaking and so sexy. Do yourself a favor and be sure to get all of the Audible books in this series. Shane East's voice is perfection.

love, love, LOVE this series!

As always Shane East and Finley Fenn have brought the thunder! The world building is fantastic as usual, even without the steamy bits I would still be a loyal reader but most definitely the spice adds to the flavor 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ I've been wanting more focus on Drafli and Baulder for such a LONG time, and love that we've gotten an intimate view into their relationship! And Alma! I love her so much, she definitely is all Grisk sweetness with a little Skai fierceness! If you enjoy some darkness with your romance, you'll love this series too 💚💚💚💚💚

"so sweet, my teeth hurt"

seriously, this one is my new fave in the series. not only do we get to know Baldr and Drafli better, but we see more of my fave characters Kest and Efterar, with my fave quote from Kest (see title of this review).

Love Drafli, Baldr, and Alma

Alma's employed by a creepy Lord as his housekeeper who tries to take advantage of her knowing that she needs the job. When she refuses to be used that way, telling him that she'd rather starve on the streets, he shouts for his guards and tries to claim that she attacked him.

Alma runs into the forest hoping to evade capture and in her desperation finds herself drowning in the river and is rescued by the kindest Orc alive, Baldr. After her initial shock and fear, Alma is soothed by his gentleness and kindness. She is surprised to find herself deeply attracted to Baldr, who in turn is also attracted to Alma despite trying hard to resist. Baldr insists on taking her back home to Orc Mountain in order to help her because she's in bad shape.

Before Alma can give into her attraction for him too much, Baldr tells her that he is in fact already mated and is clearly trying hard to hold himself away from her. However, the trip back to the mountain with Baldr carrying her has an effect on them. Scent is very important to Orcs and especially to Baldr, who has the strongest nose in the mountain, the prolonged contact between them combined with their attraction creates a scent bond between them.

Once at Orc Mountain, Alma is surprised to find that it's rather lovely and finds herself liking the Orcs. That's until she meets Baldr's mate Drafli, who isn't an easygoing Orc to begin with, add the fact that he hates women and she is now bond by scent to his beloved Baldr and his anger is explosive.

Although Baldr tries his best to avoid Alma, the scent bond has a grave effect on him, it causes him to be possessive of her to his detriment. The bond will allow him to smell Alma wherever she might go, and if she returns to her employer who hurts her, Baldrs instincts would be to attack him which would restart the war between Orcs and Humans.

In order to save Baldr, while also granting him the opportunity to have a son, Drafli goes to Alma and offers her an ultimatum that would allow her to join them both, despite his hatred for women. Drafli makes his dislike of her very clear and that he is only doing this for Baldr.

I really enjoyed this story for the development between the threesome, especially with Drafli and Alma.

Baldr+Alma=Instalove
Drafi+Alma=Enemies to lovers

I love Finley Fenn and this Orc Series, it has the perfect blend of story and spice. I like a lot of spice, which this has, but combined with an awesome plot as well.

Drafli and Bauldr's Tale

I think this is my new favorite. Each story just gets better. Alma’s tale just hits viscerally at points. How the heck do these orcs think anyone would understand the implications of what is not said. Orcs [ugh] you just want to smack them, but also orcs, you just want to squeeze them. There is more about Kesst and Eft. (side note: am waiting anxiously for the day Sins of the Orc drops). This one is a slow build in the relationship between Drafli, Bauldr, and Alma as they struggle to find balance. There is lots of spice-e-ness.

Shane East does an excellent job with Drafli’s damaged voice and adds depth to an intriguing story. Shane's narration brings the orcs and humans to life as we are transported to Finley Finn's realm.

Bonus Governess and the Orc chapters at the end.
