Bossed by the Orc by Saam King
Blurb:
Cleaning offices was far from Penelope’s dream job. But dreams don’t pay the bills, and if she wanted to save her family’s home, she needed money fast. Her grumpy, annoyingly sexy orc boss didn’t factor into her plans at all. Or so she kept telling herself…
Dristan was too busy running his empire to waste time on things like romance. Then he saw his pretty new employee and everything changed. He knows Penelope would be a perfect mate. Too bad wooing is not part of his skillset…
When danger finds its way to Penelope’s door, Dristan will do anything to protect her. But when all is said and done, will it be enough to convince her to take a shot at happily ever after? Or will their love story end before it ever truly begins?
Sometimes you finish a brutal,
heart-wrenching fantasy saga and your soul needs a palate cleanser. Not just
any book, the right book. This was exactly that, and I did not know
how desperately I needed it until I was already fifty pages in and smiling like
an idiot.
After everything Keera put me through, the
grief, the betrayal, the relentless emotional devastation, this book was a warm
blanket. Cute, funny, and completely charming from start to finish. I could
physically feel the weight of the last few months of reading just melting off
of me page by page. That is not a small thing. That is a gift.
Here is what I love about monster rom-coms
and I will not apologize for it, they take every element you already adore
about a classic romantic comedy and then hand the lead role to a monster. The
awkward moments, the slow burn, the comedy, the heart, all of it is still
there, just wrapped in something delightfully unexpected. It is a formula that
should not work as well as it does, and yet every single time it absolutely does.
I eat it up without shame and I will continue to do so.
This one moves fast too, the kind of book
that disappears in your hands before you realize what happened. Light and fun
and completely absorbing in the best possible way.
And can we please talk about the audiobook?
Because it is everything. If you have the option, immersive listening
is absolutely the way to experience this one. It takes an already entertaining
story and turns it into something you want to live inside for a little while
longer.
Highly recommend. Your soul will thank you.
