Single Orc Dad

A Sweet Monster Treats Standalone

De: Ava Ross

Narrado por: Heather Firth, Aiden Snow

Will my roller coaster romance with my hunky orc neighbor fly off the rails or ignite our hearts forever?

After inheriting my estranged dad's defunct kiddie amusement park, I turn in my corporate badge and return to my old hometown. Despite the issues I had with my dad, I rediscover the fun I missed out on while I lived ten years in the city. I'm determined to turn Quirky Kingdom into the showpiece it used to be. Problem is—more than just the rides need fixing. It's way more than I can handle on my own.

I tap my new neighbor to help—Rexin, a hunky orc handyman who's also a single dad extraordinaire. Since it's summer, he brings his twelve-year-old son to the job with him.

As we grease wheels on the purple turtle ride and get the elephant carriages running again, sparks ignite between us. I begin to believe moving home was the right idea. But my past makes me gun-shy, and I'm not sure if what we've started will make me want to live in this town forever. His son playing matchmaker is cute, but it sure isn't helping.

Only time can tell if our rollercoaster relationship will clickety-click its way to something special or veer off track forever.

Single Orc Dad is part of the Sweet Monster Treats collection of standalones, each with its own Happily Ever After. Single Orc Dad is also a companion story in Ava's Love at First Orc Series.

Expect size difference, plenty of spice, falling for a neighbor, a single dad (ha, right?!), his sweet matchmaking son who desperately wants a mom, laugh-out-loud moments, moving home and finding the "one," a handyorc who's handy in many ways (wink), and a happy ever after.

I give up!

It seems to me that Ava Ross greatly dislikes writing monster romance, and she therefore just phones it in. I love Ava's alien romance books, but this will definitely be the last monster romance I purchase from her. I truly suspect she's writing in this genre simply because it's popular, not because she feels any passion for it.

I was unimpressed by Candy For My Orc Boss, but I wanted to give her another chance. I was disappointed. These books simply lack any real substance. There's no character development. The plots are sketchy at best. And the lack of chemistry is mind-boggling. Her alien romance books are so well written that it seems like an entirely different author has written these monster romances.

I did finish the audiobook, although my attention wandered during much of it. It's cute and sweet. The orc's 10-year-old son saves the book, as he is the most interesting & engaging character.

The excellent narration by both voice performers was the most redeeming aspect of the book. If not for their talented and enjoyable performance, the book would have definitely been a DNF.

I recommend you skip this book, and try Vork. It's sweet, heartfelt, absorbing, entertaining, funny, and well written. The characters are well developed. The world building is vivid and detailed, and the plot is interesting.

Fantastic

I love the story, the storyline, the narrations the humor, obviously the romantic parts, but it really was a good story onto my next book

Great story!

This was a VERY unusual but really great romance of two very unlikely people meeting and falling in love. I can’t wait to start another of Ava Ross’ books!

4 Stars

Single Orc Dad is book 5 in the Sweet Monster Treats series, but it can be read as a stand alone book. I've not read anything else from this series. It is a paranormal, small town, romance with a single father Orc and a human woman. I've never read a book with an Orc before, but I had seen the cover a lot on social media and it seemed to have good reviews so I thought I would give it a try. It was a cute book. I liked it. It was enjoyable. The narration was really good. I would recommend this book if it is your kind of thing. Solid 4 stars.

Sweet with no depth

This story is just okay. It’s a niche genre with overly fast matches, sticky sweet story lines and abruptly quick resolutions, this is great for quick consumption with a steamy zing and a happy ending. It is a sweet, stereotypical story with little to no depth. It’s not for everyone and it did not make me want to pick up the rest of the series, but it’s okay in a pinch to fill a couple of hours.

Book 1

I liked the cameo reference you made with the title Candy for my Orc Boss. Very Stephen King.

Pleasantly surprised...

I purchased this book on a whim duringthe 2 for 1 and was pleasantly surprised; however, it was super condensed and I wish that it was longer so that the author could've created more world and relationship building.

Funny and sexy

I laughed out loud, got hot under the collar. Overall, I reallly enjoyed this title, and the narration.

Enjoyed 😉 very much!

I will continue to the next one in series. The story and characters was very well done. the narrators helped bring both to life!!

Another winner!

I really enjoyed the storyline with this book. It was so good to follow both their stories as it transformed. I am sure you will enjoy it too!
