The Beauty and the Orcs

An Orc Sworn Standalone

De: Finley Fenn

Narrado por: James Joseph

She was ruined by an orc. Now, his enraged ex wants to finish the job…

In a world of orcs and powerful men, Kitty Clarendon is a bubbly, beautiful woman about town—until she's dumped by her benefactor and thrown onto the streets. As she's drowning her sorrows, she meets… an orc.

He's rash, reckless, and on the rebound—but his laugh is contagious, his touch warm and wicked. And for one perfect, forbidden night, he's all Kitty's darkest dreams come true.

But by morning, there's only shame. Regret. The orc quickly makes his escape, abandoning Kitty to a devastating discovery. She's been compromised. With his… orcling.

The orc never returns, and Kitty is left ill, impoverished, and hopeless. Until finally, another orc finds her. Varinn, of Clan Grisk. The first orc's best friend. And… his very recent ex.

Varinn can't hide his jealousy or his bitter, broken rage—but he refuses to leave Kitty behind. Soon, she's under his stern supervision and on her way to Orc Mountain. Back to the orc who so cruelly spurned her. The orc who's been losing his own battles and still longs for Varinn's firm handling… and his heart.

Can Kitty bring two hostile, heartbroken orcs back together for her orcling's sake? Or will they break her own heart, too?

An angsty, full-length, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. Comes after The Governess and the Orc but can be listened to as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.

never a disappointment

I love these stories I Iose my mind with every one. so much spice and the narrator is sooo good as always!

Complex but engaging love triad

This is my first foray into the Orc Sworn series and I was pleasantly surprised. I read a lot of monster romance but this story intrigued me. The dynamics between the characters was compelling and I really liked how their love bloomed for each other. They each brought a necessary component to the relationship. Thrain’s sobriety journey was supported by Kitty and Varrin with care but also realistic feelings. Spicier than expected with lots of toys and fluids- so skip if that’s not your jam. It’s also a long story-it takes a bit for the guys to really see Kitty’s worth but the payoff is excellent. Looking forward to other tales.

So much angst

I’ve been eagerly awaiting this next installment of the Orc Sworn series featuring our favorite Grisk Disaster Boys who were introduced back in Heiress and the Orc. This book did not disappoint for complex character development, angst, and spice.

The effect that substance abuse has on an individual and its effect on relationships is respectfully and realistically represented, as is the recovery process.

It was nice to dive back into Clan Grisk and revisit favorite characters from previous books.

The bonus epilogue from Varinn’s POV at the end is a nice extra. James Joseph’s narration was great.

The inclusion…

I loved this ! No just a threesome truly a triad of love. I really enjoyed how Varinn and Thrain always included Kitty. Cared for her equally. And loved her throughly in more ways than one! 🥵😏 I enjoyed this MMF romance much more than The Maid and the Orcs. I don’t feel Baldr and Drafli cared or loved Alma like Varinn and Thrain did Kitty. Drafli never showed tenderness to Alma he seemed to just tolerate her. Where as in this Varinn although he was hurt in the beginning grew to love Kitty and not just tolerated her for Thrains sake. He truly fell in love with her. So did Thrain. They all shared their love. Where as The Maid an the Orcs didn’t. Last but not least. The new narrator James Joseph was EVERYTHING!!! Loved him.

Love the Orcs!!

I didn’t like that it ended! Lol. I’m always left wanting more! I love how it jumps forward once or twice so we know what’s going on with them several years down the line.
