Summary

Lady Iolanthe of Rockmourn Keep expects to be a spinster all her days. She is very tall. She is very poor. And she is thirty. What lord could possibly want her?

But then her father returns with news that he has found a bridegroom for her—one that is impressively tall. One that is strong, and bold, and wealthy. And best of all? He wants Iolanthe. It seems too good to be true.

And when Iolanthe gets her first look at her husband-to-be, she realizes why.

No one mentioned the 'orc' part of things . . .

Contains mature themes.

Love it!

Ruby Dixon writes clever and steamy plots, and her characters are always fun and interesting. This story is my new favourite, I really hope she will write more!

Fun and light

Easy listen, occasionally a little lengthy, but fun and it doesn't detract from the story. Good strong heroine. A little bit of instalove.

Fluffy fairytale meets Orcs

Very sweet and a nice book to have running in the background. Nice to have a happy ending and the characters though a tad one dimensional are funny. Don’t take it too seriously and it’s the perfect book for a long gaming session or while cleaning. I gasped a few times at things said and laughed every chapter. You get used to the male voice actor in time and having a female lead older than a teen is a massive find!

Love it

Ruby Dixon is a hit and miss for me, but this one was definitely a hit. Both MCs were society's outcast because of either their appearance and/or breed. So, I loved that they gave each other the love and attention they deserved. As with other RD books the monster is a huge (in all ways) marshmallow, and they have a lot of smex fun times.
Great narration too.

A light read

A fun short story. As it wasn't a serious read, the fact that the narrators couldn't agree on the Hero's accent was only a minor irritant.

I was surprised by how sensual this book was, given the hero is an orc

Excellent narration by both narrators helped the story along. Rather a lot of steamy sex which somewhat intrudes on the narrative but I liked this much more than I thought I would but not sure this kind of fantasy is really my thing.
