Protected by the Orc

Fairhaven Falls, Book 7

De: Honey Phillips

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Heather Firth

Her orc bodyguard is determined to keep her close!

Holdar doesn't do commitment. Even his latest security job as bodyguard to a pretty, spoiled—and annoyingly adorable—heiress won't last, which is just as well. The sooner he gets away from her innocent smiles and tempting curves, the better.

Trish is desperate to escape her father's gilded cage, even though her latest bodyguard is the biggest, most intimidating—and most enticing—male she's ever met. Then, her disastrous attempt at freedom leads her straight into his massive orc arms.

Holdar failed one person in his care, and he's not about to do it again. He's determined to keep Trish safe, even if it means returning to Fairhaven Falls and facing the past he wants to forget.

A tiny southern town and the smallest cabin she's ever seen? A grumpy orc who insists on putting her to work—when he's not kissing the heck out of her? Trish should be miserable. Instead, she's never been happier.

But can their relationship be more than temporary? And is she willing to take a chance on an orc who's afraid to commit?

Protected by the Orc is a sweet and steamy monster romance that is part of the Sweet Monster Treats collection. Each book is a standalone, containing its own Happily Ever After, and they can be enjoyed in any order. Be sure to explore the other titles in this collection.

The antics from these two were great haha

I was so happy to listen to the next story in the Fairhaven Falls story! We get some check ins and surprise cameos in this one too, just like we get on the others. I will say we didnt get a set-up for the next book like we normally do. I felt like the one before mentioned the ghost so that is probably next up so these are not all in the same order/timeline but that's alright!

I was interested how Holdar was going to let his protective and impenetrable walls come down to fall in love. We haven't met his leading lady until this book (again I see this is mentioned as being in two series so I am a little confused) but I enjoy how they let things progress haha. I will say this felt more rushed/shorter than the others so I didnt jump as hard into the stories as I did some of the previous books by this author. I enjoyed how relentless Trish was haha. She knew what she wanted and Holdar finally gave in haha. I thought this one had a ton of funny moments with their antics, with things not going as planned. I thought the ending was one of the more exciting ones, since people were after her and there are some others in the crossfire. Everything turns ok out (this author never leaves us hanging without an HEA!) and we get another happy couple locked into staying in Fairhaven Falls. I loved getting to see Holdar be adorable with his essential niece at this point, how gentle he could be. You get glimpses of his misbehaving and naughty nature with his mate but he is so stoic most of the time. I do think we didnt get resolution for his trauma before and he doesn't really talk about them. He has nightmares and she soothes him but we don't get at the end them talking about it, him getting help, etc.

I enjoyed the narration in this one like I did the others. The comedic timing was great, the voices were just how I would imagine them. I smiled and giggled throughout and was on the edge of my seat at the end. I hope we get more on audio from this world, it's a nice palate cleanser and happiness boost when I need it!

Protected by the Orc

I understand she needed protection from those who wanted to get money from her father. But I wish the storyline talked about her father‘s dealings. Why his enemies would use her as bait.

LOVE THIS SERIES!!!

I VERY much love this series, I hope it continues with the rest of the other characters. Narrators do such a fantastic job bringing the story and characters to life. I will be getting in new ones that come out.
