The Governess and the Orc

An Orc Sworn Standalone

By: Finley Fenn

Narrated by: Shane East

He'll make all her dreams come true… but only if she can pretend to love him.

In a realm of orcs and powerful men, Geva Okoro is a proud, impoverished governess trapped in a dismal, dead-end post—until the day the orc breaks in.

He's a huge, insolent, arrogant brute, swaggering with smooth, shameless wickedness. But unlike the orcs from the terrifying tales, he only wants one thing from Geva… her employer's gold.

There's no escaping his devious clutches, and soon a furious Geva is reduced to raiding her employer's house with an orc. Compromising her career and destroying all her dreams… until the orc proposes another shocking scheme.

He'll split the day's plunder with her—if she'll pretend to be his mate. For one month. At Orc Mountain.

Sharing his rooms. Smiling sweetly at his side. Smelling all over of his deep, decadent scent…

He's offering more wealth than Geva's ever dreamt of, but there's no way she can trust this treacherous thief… can she? Let alone convince all of Orc Mountain that she loves him?!

And, surely even her best play-acting would never start to feel real… or win over an orc's cold, broken heart?

The Governess and the Orc is an angsty, full-length, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance.

It comes after The Maid and the Orcs, but may be listened to as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.

Another wonderful book

Finley Fenn continues to write complex and well rounded characters. The Orc Sworn series just keeps getting better and better. Shane East was great as always delivering on the emotion and humor. I loved everything about this audiobook.

My favorite so far!!!

Loved this next installment! I also found myself not being THAT upset with the Orc ML this time! Bc honestly the lies and schemes have been WILD in the previous books. So this was so refreshing and I just really loved it!

I can't stop listening!!! 💚

as always a fantastic performance from Shane! I can't express enough how much this series means to me, I'm so invested in all the characters and their challenges 💚 everyone is so individual with their own stories, likes/dislikes and their families. I absolutely love them all, though this particular book is a personal favorite. I love Geva, her love for her students and her own individuality. Rathgar has his own challenges he has to face and overcome, trust to give and take. I love that we got another more in-depth look at Kest and his story too, since he's one of my favorite characters and he's in every book giving a little more about himself and his role in the mountain with Eft in the clinic. if you like orcs, drama, fantastic characters, and medieval fantasy with a little darkness mixed with lots of spice 😉 🔥 🔥 🔥 added in for flavor this is the series for you!

Always a good time!

This one is LONGGGG… but, it’s a fun, extremely spicy read as always.
Shane East is amazing on narration.
Spice 4/5🌶️
Story 4/5 (on the Orc scale 😉)

5 stars and 5 chiles Aaaaaaghhhh!

5 stars and 5 chiles

5 spice rating and 5 stars
Add Finley Finn, Salacious Orcs, brown grrl magic and the vocal god Shane East…and poof! One of Finley’s best. This is fabulously smart as the female character is a born leader akin to Rosa and Jewel.
