She doesn't do anything spontaneous or wild... until a hot orc dares her to try something new.
Bailey
As head librarian in my small town, I take my job seriously. So when I hear a sound in the library's attic while I'm working late and alone, and then a big, green, muscular orc creeps up behind me, I smack him in the head with a stapler. After the theft of an ancient orc book on loan to the library, is it any wonder I'm skittish?
Katar explains he heard me scream and only wanted to help. He's... upset, and I guess I can't blame him.
He offers to help me discover who stole the book, and we track down one clue after another. But when he dares me to give in to my wild side, I start falling in love.
Katar
Being hit in the head with a stapler is an interesting way to meet my fated mate. That's who this prim and proper, incredibly gorgeous librarian is. I only came to town to discover who stole the ancient orc manuscript. Then I'll return to the orc kingdom forever. But the thought of leaving this curvy, delectable woman makes me want to snarl.
So I'm going to crack this case. I'm going to show Bailey how to let loose. And then I'm claiming her as my bride.
Undercover Orc is part of the Sweet Monster Treats shared world and is adjacent to Ava's Monsters, PI Series. It's a sweet and steamy standalone romance featuring a light mystery, plus a cinnamon roll orc with a creative... (cough), size difference, a prim librarian who sometimes does let loose, and plenty of humor and heat.

The heroine: Bailey - she basically grew up in the library, she had a bad home life and spent all her free time at the library in her small town when she was young. The Librarian, Helga was like a mother to her and a mentor as well. Bailey got her master's in library science in college and before Helga died a few years ago, she recommended Bailey to be her replacement. Six months ago, a very important and ancient Orc tome that was on loan from the Orc royal family was stolen from her library.
The Heroes: Katar - he is in the small town on an undercover assignment from the Orc Royal family to investigate the theft and bring the thief to justice. He plans on returning to the Orc kingdom after he finds the culprit and gets the book back. Katar hasn’t thought much about finding his fated mate, especially one like the small human librarian he finds when he gets to town.
The Story: One night when Bailey is alone in the library and it has been locked up for the evening, she hears someone moving around in the library attic and upper floors. She leaves the library and meets Katar in the parking lot. He investigates and finds that someone has broken in, messed up some things in the attic and in her office and has stolen her laptop. Katar knows immediately that Bailey is his mate.
This setup is fantastic—Bailey’s deep connection to the library gives her a strong emotional anchor, and the stolen tome adds an element of mystery that ties her fate to Katar's mission. I love how her past is interwoven with the story’s inciting incident; it immediately makes the stakes feel personal. Katar's arrival as an investigator, only to be thrown off balance by the revelation of his fated mate, creates great tension, both external and internal.
The break-in scene is a great catalyst for their first real interaction. Bailey’s vulnerability—having her laptop stolen, the one tool she likely relies on for organizing her work—adds to the pressure she’s feeling. Katar stepping into the role of protector while being shaken by the unexpected bond between them. That’s a delicious mix of conflict and chemistry.
Though there is one thing I just don’t get in paranormal and alien romance, when the characters have horns. The authors always have it that when the female touches the horns it turns the males on like it is an erogenous zone. But horns are made of keratin, like fingernails so in reality, they can’t feel a thing. It just bothers me for some reason.
This audiobook was narrated from multiple perspectives, done in dual narration by Aiden Snow and Heather Firth. Aiden is one of my favorite narrators. He has a deep, rich voice and sounds so sexy I could listen to him for days. He always does a fantastic job, and this time is no different. Heather also has a nice voice, and I like how expressive she is. The only thing that could have made this better was if it was done in duet narration.
Mystery, danger and a hot green giant!
