Title: Her Orc Gentleman
Author: Zoe Ashwood
Series: Bellhaven Clan #7
Pages: 234
When Willow, the Duke of Ultrup’s niece, is sent to the orc kingdom as an ambassador to get her away from court, she doesn’t expect to find herself dealing with an orc claiming she is his mate. But the more she spends time with Ozork, the more she wants a life with him but she is only supposed to be staying for the winter.
We finally have Ozork’s story! I have been eagerly waiting for his story since he was such a sweet orc who just wanted love. Ozork was the perfect partner for Willow because he was patient and never pushed her. He let her set the pace of their relationship and I really loved that about him. Willow was a spunky woman who has done everything she can to not be forced into an unwanted marriage. I liked that she is using this opportunity to try and break away so she can live her own life and that it works out for her, and she gets the family she wants.
This story also featured a hint of a side couple, Captain of the Guard Owen and Mara, the orc steward. I really can’t wait to read the next book to find out what happens with them because I have been eager for a story about a lady orc from the beginning and we are finally getting it.
Overall, this was another enjoyable orc romance. I have really enjoyed this series and how we have seen how the orcs and humans relationship has changed over the series. I am eager to read the next one.
