Welcome to Monsters Hollow, where love knows no bounds—even in a town full of monsters!
Targan Wildethorne
A confirmed bachelor and a historian by training, I haven't the faintest clue how to care for twin orclings when I unexpectedly become their guardian. I'd love to retreat into the comforting sanctuary of my study, surrounded by my books and papers, but first, I need to hire someone to help me with the children. Someone who can teach me the ropes of this new role.
Thank the Light for the All-Species Specialized Employment Services! In my most dire hour of need, they find the perfect nanny—ahem, manny—to help me look after my young wards. Now, I can finally get back to writing my history of orc folklore for a few hours a day.
Or so I thought.
Instead, I find the captivating new man in my home far too distracting. Max is so much more than I had expected. I've never fallen for a human before, but I can't get him out of my mind. Could he ever feel the same about an orc? Humans are usually too intimidated by our large size and outer appearance. Can Max look past my green skin and tusks to see a man with a heart that yearns for him? And if he does, when he learns the truth about the children, will the danger on the horizon send him running?
Max MacLeod
Working with kids is totally my jam, and I'm damn good at what I do. Just call me Maxy Frickin' Poppins! When a new job prospect comes my way, I'm intrigued. A chance to move to Mystic Hollow (aka Monsters Hollow) to be a well-paid manny for two adorable orclings? Talk about a dream position. Sold! But when I lock eyes with the seriously sexy orc who's their guardian—and my new de facto boss—for the first time, I'm a goner. Big, muscular, and green all over–he's giving me full-on Hulk meets stern professor vibes—and I like it.
As I get to know him over meals with the kids during the day and soft-spoken conversations about history at night, I soon realize there's so much more to Targan than the gorgeous orc who keeps starring in all my naughtiest dreams. He's quite possibly the kindest, gentlest man I've ever met. And he accepts and appreciates every part of me and my flamboyant, full-figured fabulousness. I just want to feed and take care of him—and find out if he's so deliciously big everywhere. Before I know it, I'm dreaming of being part of a forever family with him and his adorable twins. But an unexpected threat looms in the shadows that could threaten the safety of us all…
The Orc and the Manny is a cozy small town M/M monster romance featuring a Hulkalicious silver fox orc professor who's better with books than kids, a flamboyant human manny with all the skills (think Nathan Lane in The Birdcage meets Mary Poppins), an age gap, a size difference, a three-headed hellhound and a feisty rescue Chihuahua, two adorable orcling twins, and copious amounts of orc… joy!

The human MC in this book took me a while to like as his fem ness was quite over the top and jarring to being with. I normally love a good fem but I guess this one just rubber me wrong.
Narration was great as usual but the voice of the fem didn’t help me like him any quicker.
I am looking forward to the next book though.
What a great world.

Targon and Max take us on their journey in Tʜᴇ Oʀᴄ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ Mᴀɴɴʏ by Chloe Archer, the first book in the Monsters Hollow series.
Targan is used to being completely on his own, so when he takes over custody of his best friend's children, he is completely out of his league and hires Max as his new manny. Max ends up being so much more than Targan expected.
Max, looking for a new experience, takes a job as a manny for an orc family and is not prepared when he arrives at the house to find Targan, the sexy orc professor and his wild bunch.
Targan and Max's journey is definitely entertaining and humorous. I love everything about this story and the entire cast of characters. Max is fantastic with the orclings and his sexy professor, Targan. I love how Princess Peach continually puts Waffles in his place. The little family this group has created is beautiful.
Greg Beaudroux is a fantastic narrator and I love how he brought Mystic Hollow and it residence to life.
