Bellhaven Clan #8
His Orc Lady
I’ve missed my one chance to find my fated mate…
The moment I saw the captain, I knew. His scent unlocked a hidden part of me, a promise of a future filled with love and affection.
But the Fates are cruel–they matched me to a human who could never be mine, for his duty binds him to the southern lands while I must remain here, at Bellhaven Hill.
As winter closes in, a human delegation arrives at my home, and with it, the man who’s been haunting my dreams and waking thoughts. He’s everything I remember from that first brief glimpse of him–honorable, kind, and unbearably handsome.
Yet the captain–Owen–is still bound by his service to the duke whose intentions toward our clan may be less than good. He’s a soldier first and will return to his post in the human kingdom once spring arrives and the snow melts in the mountains.
And I will be left here, broken-hearted and alone.
So I’ll keep my distance, no matter how difficult it may be. It’s better for us both. If only he didn’t have the knack for popping up wherever I am…
His Orc Lady is a cozy orc fantasy romance set in the world of the Bellhaven Clan. It features an orc heroine we all know and love, and her very human mate, a pairing that results in interesting discoveries and challenges the couple must overcome. While this book is a standalone–this couple gets their HEA–it’s also the eighth book in the series, so you’ll likely enjoy it more if you have read the prior stories already.

3½ stars.
➕ What I liked :
A refreshing role reversal romance.
(Orc heroine and human hero…. There really are not enough of these kind of couples and dynamics in the fantasy romance/paranormal romance and monster romance genres and these kind of couples and dynamics are very uncommon which is strange for especially these romance genres where authors have completely free hands and the ultimate freedom to imagine and write more or less whatever they want.)
The main characters are almost equal in height.
(The heroine is only 3 inches shorter than the hero and she is a tall heroine… this is also uncommon in this genre/genres.)
The hero is a rather sweet and gentle hero/cinnamon roll hero.
Experienced heroine and experienced hero.
The world-building and many of the side characters/background characters/minor characters are rather interesting.
I liked that the heroines low confidence had nothing at all to do with and around her body and also how these orcs of this clan had a very laid back attitude around nakedness and their bodies.
Some parts of the romance.
➖ What I disliked:
The heroine second guessed herself a little too much about too many things… and she had rather low confidence in herself and her worth….. some parts of it is understandable with what happened when she was a child and teenager and what kind of parents she had and did not have… But she had the support of her friends and her cousin and was respected in her role as a steward… Could her friends and cousin etc. been a little more observant in what was going on with her yes… but she knew she had them (her friends and cousin) at her back and their support etc. and she knew she was a good and capable steward so most other stuff with her low confidence and second guessing herself made little sense.
And it also seemed like she did not want to see what damage her parents did to her and how that affected her and her life and she just downplayed what they did and did not do… and that her parents loved each other more than they loved her… the heroine kind of mentions it quickly about her mother but then nothing else about it.
It is great that the heroine is tall and is the one that is a non-human and a orc while the hero is the human and also great that there is a rather small height difference between the couple👍👍…..
But it was a missed opportunity to have a heroine that was taller and as strong or stronger than the hero… which would would make sense in that/this world/universe since orcs (both the males and females) are much bigger and taller than humans… it was also a missed opportunity to not make the heroine a warrior or guard or something like that … that could make her more on equals terms and strength etc. with the hero and it would also just be more interesting.
Another missed opportunity and even a big missed opportunity is that this book is the last in this series (from what information there is about this series and these books etc.) Even with how the book ended in the epilogues and that there is such potential to add at least a few more books to the series… Especially with the big opportunity to flip things around again and/or flipping things around and having the single/unattached/ female orcs find mates... orcs mates or human mates or other kinds of mates… I have not read the other books in this series but from what is in this book there is other female orcs in the background that could have had their own books and there could also have been other female orcs added from other lands and clans etc. there is such missed opportunity with this.
The author has shown that they can write outside the box and write role reversal romance and so called flip the script… but instead of continuing the series... it just ends there and with that ending….
It makes it so it seems like a curtain was pulled back to reveal another character and their story and also to expand the lore/world/universe and the potential for other characters (background or otherwise) only for it to end like it does and the curtain being closed or the curtain being abruptly dropped forever.
It feels like even if the character at the end of the second epilogue and the end of the book gets his story/book… it still feels like this series (Bellhaven Clan) is dropped and not finished or concluded… and just jumps onto a spin-off instead…. With the same formula as in the all the books about the Bellhaven Clan except the book His Orc Lady… there is the huge and big male orc hero and the tiny or small human female/heroine.
So…. No more female orcs and their search for a mate or opportunity to find a mate whether they are male orcs or human males or other kind of males and also female orcs finding another female orc as a mate etc. At least not yet because there is only 1 book in that series so far… but it starts with the same formula so….
The book/story is almost only from the heroines POV and just a few pages at the end is from the heroes POV… I prefer dual POV and think dual POV is better and the reader gets more depth with both characters that way as well.
Even if this is fantasy romance/monster romance etc. the story and setting more or less takes place or seems to take place in a magic and fantasy version of the middle ages/medieval time and some of the time there is some anachronistic language or/and slips that just don’t sound right in that setting and feels too contemporary or just off.
There is too much focus on looks in the book especially the heroes and how handsome the heroine thinks he is and how often she thinks about that.
Both the heroine and hero were a little too awkward for having had other lovers… and also a little too awkward in general for being capable adults.
The voice actor/narrator is a little too flat/wooden in how he reads and performs the roles of the characters… not bad but a little too flat.
The heroine is only 27 …. it would have been nice to read about a slightly “older” heroine than another heroine in her 20’s.
The sex scenes are rather lackluster and the dirty talk (what little there is) is both lackluster and cringey.
A little too many parts of the romance was a little too much insta.
A tiny bit too much focus on other things going on and not enough time on the main characters and their romance.

So much of the beginning of this book was repetitive, namely the internal dialogue. Owen and Mara were super cute together though. She’s such a sweetie pie.
Spice: 3/5
Triggers: parent death (past), anxiety, grief, mention of war

Mara got her groove back !!
I loved this story and I can’t believe it took me a whole 8 books to get here but it was worth it!!! Mara was a genius and a kind soul and she lived a life before meeting her fated mate. Which makes sense that she would be fated to a decorated war hero.

4.5⭐️
In the much anticipated conclusion to Captain Hawke and our beloved Mara. Taking place at the same time the events of Her Orc Gentlemen, Mara immediately knew who Owen was to her but decides not to say anything to give him the opportunity to choose her instead of feeling like he owed her something. When neither of them can seem to deny their attraction to each other Mara decides to start opening up to Owen in an effort to figure out if they can truly make air relationship work.
I LOVE THESE TWO. Mara has been one of my faves throughout this series and I could not wait for her to get her fated mate happy ending. And Owen? I know I’m an orc girly but that man is a MAN, ok???? I think these two took first place for my favorite of the series!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I cannot wait for the next orc series!! These cozy monster romances are the perfect palette cleansers, rainy day curl up with a book reads or something to take my mind off of the existential doom 🖤

“You showed me your home and accepted me, even though you were clearly unhappy with me… ”.
Llevaba tiempo esperando esta novela desde hace bastantes entregas. Ahora, ¿mereció la pena? En verdad, sí, pero tenía las expectativas bastantes altas y una vez que he terminado la novela me supo a poco. Una pena.
“I wasn’t unhappy. I just didn’t know how to behave to behave around you”.

Tropes: monster romance, fated mates, trauma healing, slow burn and human MMC x orc FMC.
Rating: 5✨
I fell in love with Mara as soon as we met her in the first installment of this series, and I have been rooting for her happy ending ever since.
Owen and Mara's growing relationship was a beautiful sight to witness. He was so patient with her, and I loved seeing him be there for her during her healing journey.
The only negative thing about this book is that it ended too soon! Oh, and that he smells like anise. Sorry, but I’m definitely not a fan of it.
It was refreshing to read a story where the FMC was the monster, while the MMC was the human.
This is the eighth and final installment in the "Black Bear Clan series". It can be read as a standalone, but it will be more enjoyable if you have read the previous books.
I can’t wait to dive right back into this world with the brand new series that will be coming out in 2025!

I’ve always been content to live in the underground palace, in the darkness and torchlight, but now, I wish I could look upon Captain Hawke’s face in the sun to see how his eyes compare to the clear summer sky.

POV: Single 1st
It is finally time for our favourite orc lady to find her happiness and boy, did sweet Mara wreck my emotions.
We have seen Mara since book 1, always helpful and ready to assist the new human mates as the steward of the Hill. When she finally catches scent of her own mate, he is not an orc, but a human male: the Captain of the guards who is bound to return to his duties in Ultrup. The Fates definitely made a mistake this time as she simply cannot and will not leave the safety of the Hill.
Oh, Mara… it was heartbreaking to learn about her trauma and how it has affected her. Owen had a hard time just trying to accost her, but with his patience and thoughtfulness, Mara did not stand a chance. He was sweet and supportive, exactly the kind of mate she needed. Their journey had many detours but it made it even more worthwhile and beautiful.
I love epilogues and even more when there are TWO, with one teasing what’s in store for a certain unmated orc 👀👀

I miss this series sm and reading this felt like coming home.
One of my anticipated releases of 2024 and it didn't disappoint.
Mara's the steward at Black Bear Clan and when she saw the human captain, she instantly knew that she's his mate. She ran to protect herself and the captain went back to the human land. However, a human delegation arrived at her home and the captain's with them.
I instantly love Mara from the first book of this series, and lowkey been rooting for her own happiness and mate. We saw glimpses of her throughout the series and the last book fed us tidbits and snippets of what's happening between Mara and Owen since it's also happening simultaneously so I knew I wanted to read her book.
Oh wow, I usually don't like the push-and-pull situation they were in but I understand Mara's hesitation as to why she's not giving in and why she kept it from Owen. I love that as we go along, we also saw Mara and her own past and trauma.
It was really endearing to see two adults getting clumsy and blushing and just everything was so cute, I was giggling and kicking my feet.
I love how the author managed to set the pace without it being dragging and frustrating on the reader's part. It was neatly tied up in the end, and I really love that we now saw the whole picture of what's happening with them considering the book also had the same timeline as the last book.
I will def miss this series, so it's time for me to reread them.

I absolutely loved this book!!! It was a breath of fresh air💕💕 I enjoyed watching the little banter they had in the beginning, the inability to stay away from one another and watching how mara got to overcome issues from her past. My only critique is that i had to wait 30% of the book for them to finally give into actually get some form of connection. I wasn’t a fan of constant conversation but avoiding the main topic that should have been the first thing said. Knowing that this was something other Orcs in previous books (except for ozark) made clear immediately made me wonder why couldn’t Mara just say it. But this was the read of the year!!! Zoe Ashwood deserves more recognition

2.5 ⭐️ I was excited for Mara’s book since she’s a character throughout the series but was a little let down by her story.
Overall I always feel like this series could be deeper or have more plot and this one was no different.
Mara finds her mate in the human Owen, who’s there as a guard to Willow. The first half just annoyed me because she runs away from him, knowing he’ll have to go back to human lands. But I just felt like she immediately jumped to this unhappy conclusion without thinking of alternatives.
I felt like Owen didn’t have much of a personality, and wanted way more of getting to know him. I did like how he treated her and how he wanted to help her with her issues with agoraphobia, etc.
The plot included events from other books with some of Mara’s history thrown in, so I was hoping for a little more oomph.
Overall, I thought the angst and events that took place could’ve been more compelling. I still enjoy this world and side characters, and will probably read future books in the related series coming out!

Mara (h), a steadfast orc steward devoted to her clan, encounters Owen (H), a human captain who has come to deliver a message to the clan’s king, never expecting her life to change. Bound by clan duties and haunted by fears of the outside world, Mara’s attraction to Owen feels both fated and impossible. For Owen, a loyal soldier used to life in the human lands, his growing bond with Mara is as unexpected as it is intense. Despite their differences, their connection is undeniable, and they find themselves navigating cultural divides, clan obligations, and the daunting reality of a future together. As Mara struggles with her fears and her past, Owen’s support helps her break free from the walls that have kept her from the world beyond. With the support of friends and family, together, Mara and Owen look forward to a future that bridges both of their worlds. Sweet and steamy orc-human romance, exploring love, trust, fears, barriers, and a commitment to build a life together.

This is more of a 4.5 stars for me. Don’t get me wrong! I adored this book! Mara and Owen are so sweet together, I love them so much and was so excited to finally see Mara's story. But this one didn’t hit as hard for me as the other books in the series. I think it's because this book was in the POV of the non-human character and I think monster romance just hits differently when it's in the perspective of the human involved. There was also a little bit of repetitive inner dialogue that I noticed but that wasn't too bad. Like I said, I loved this book and I love this series I think this is probably just not the one that hits the hardest for me so this is more 4.5 than it is 5 but I still loved it!

His Orc Lady is the perfect ending to this wonderful orc romance series!!
If you love monster/orc romances, but want a lighter read, definetly check out the Black Bear Clan by Zoe Ashwood! These books are quick reads that will have you smiling as you learn about each couple and see how everything connects!
So happy to finally get Mara's story! This lady orc has been a favorite since book one, so glad to see her happy ending! Owen is such a gentleman, and so infatuated from the start, he is a great match for Mara!
Really enjoyed this orc romance!
(the female is an orc, and the man is human btw)

It pains me to not finish HIS ORC LADY because I've been looking forward to Mara's story since the very beginning of this series. But I don't know who this Mara is because she's nothing like the strong, independent, and confident orc woman we've seen in every book leading up to this. I was not enjoying her POV and while I understand people can be a lot more vulnerable under the surface it felt like a bait and switch. Also, this follows the same timeline as HER ORC GENTLEMAN and it's repeating a lot of the scenes (at least at the beginning).

Maras book was everything I had hoped it would be and man did I WAIT for this one and then decided to inhale it in a day. 10/10

Mara finds her mate.
I'm glad that Mara found her mate. Owen has proved to be an upstanding alliance protector. This story was a long time coming.

If you’ve read the previous books some of this will be repetitive but I truly didn’t care at all. I eat these up like candy lmao

It was still really cute but a little boring in the end.

I’ve been so excited for Mara’s story and this didn’t disappoint. I absolutely loved it and just couldn’t get enough.
I love the fated mates and the instant knowing. I loved how Owen had similar feelings. He’s so understanding, so loving, so protective.
Got all the feels with Mara and Owen, felt like being home. I just love this clan.

It took me a bit to get into the story, but once I did, I was hooked. I love that Mara gets her love story, and it ties up the Black Bear Clan books nicely.
(Also, who is Arlon? Did I forget his character? I'm looking forward to reading the new series, whoever he is!)

I did enjoy the final installment in the series, it even made me cry once which is highly unusual but welcome. The story was touching and spoke to me.
I also highly enjoyed that in this one, it's not the FMC who is expected to abandon their career, community and habit of life for the sake of the mate bond. Mara had some agency, great!
And Owen ofc is super cinnamon roll and supports her.
Still, some points which could have been a bit better imo:
- I didn't appreciate lying by omission because that's deceiveing. I felt that the aspect of withholding crucial information should have received more gravity than it did during the plot.
- Too much foreshadowing!
1) Some aspects of Mara's confession felt a bit anticlimatic as they could have easily been already guessed by both the reader and Owen beforehand. I understand that she needed to say it all out loud about her past but I'm not totally on board with the choice of making the reader follow every single syllable of the story if these actually didn't hold much news value. For instance, it was extremely obvious that when a person goes out in that state of mind, not dressed properly for the weather, to an unclear destination, then by the time they would have been found by others, it would have been already too late.
2) Beforehand, the reader was led to expect a highly dramatic scene when Mara and Owen had yet another of their 'here's-the-truth' date but the scene wasn't exactly earth-shattering. The reader was to believe that the stakes would have been high during the confessions, and I get that part of it was due to Mara's anxious monologues but as an outcome, the only drama was actually their schedule conflict and interruptions by others. The 2-days-and-nights long confession session could have also been achieved in a shorter time period.
- There was one moment where I personally would have expected a bit heavier and more substantial declaration from the side of the captain apart from 'how do you think I feel, the same' while being quite occupied with other activities while saying it. To me, it felt rather underwhelming compared to the overall intense tone leading to that scene, as it dwarfed next to what Mara was confessing to him. But the scene was balanced later on in the book with the ending and the epilogue 1.
- Speaking about Ep 1, I for one did not feel thrilled about the introduction of those male commands there. And the mechanics of everything started to bore me. I felt that the dom stuff did not suit the kind of dynamics that Mara and Owen had, he wasn't the type. It's especially off when everything about the relationship contrasts these vibes. (Either the author can't resist including what appear to be her own private preferences in various books in the series, which would be, yikes, or is that uncritical repetition of depictions of these gender normative acts really so popular among readers?)
- It was unclear to me why the novel had to be so packed timewise. There seemed to be no real reason to follow the formula of the rest of the series. This novel could easily have distributed its events in a less tight schedule and make it an actual slow burn because it would have suited the plot so well. (Because currently, as I understand it, the events still take place within just one week. That's no slow burn at all.)
Otherwise than that, it was altogether a rather comforting and positive read.

This one was just alright which bums me out since I've been excited to read Mara and Owen's story. This honestly could have been a novella. The angst and drama were low and it was just a very sweet story. Also it takes place in the exact same timeline as Willow and Ozork's story, so it feels like I'm reading the same book just from a different perspective
January 25, 2025
Let me be the first to say that my rating is a bit unfair. If you're on book 8 of this series, you know what you're getting. Unfortunately for this book, I had just finished reading the final book in the Lochlann Fueds series (By Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison) the day before. Going from that book/series to this one is like going from a Thanksgiving feast to a Hot Pocket. It's just...not even stomach filling.
But that's what this series is--super light, super simple.
What I did enjoy about this book: actual story. Sure it was light story but when I read all of my other reviews for this book, what stood out was how lacking of story and romance the others had. This didn't really have much romance, but it did at least have a bit more story. Just suffer through the first 20% where you read over and over how much the FMC is avoiding the MMC.
If you're hoping for the smut level you see in the other books, you'll be disappointed. But I'm content with well-done fade to black (see afore mentioned series) so the three scenes were plenty.

All of the other books are from the humans first person POV and this one is from the orc’s and y’all there’s just nothing special about a regular degular human dude. I wanted to hear about the orc lady from his perspective. And one chapter of her facing her agoraphobia ain’t it.

Series: Bellhaven Clan #8
Rating: 3 stars - I liked it
Mara believes she missed her one chance to be with her fated mate. But one day in winter, the human captain arrives again as an escort for Lady Willow. Now she has to decide if she takes this second chance or keeps him at a distance since he will only be staying for the winter.
First, Mara and Owen’s story takes place at the same time as Ozork and Willow’s (Her Orc Gentleman) story so there is overlap on events. But, while there is overlap, the focus is only on these two and we get a completely different perspective of what is happening. It is the same scenes though which was a bit disappointing.
Mara and Owen’s story is one that I have been eager to read since we saw their first meeting. These two clearly are fated mates but we have had to wait months to see if they will actually become a couple or deny their chance at happiness. There was a lot of push and pull between these two because Owen's time with the clan was supposed to be temporary. I completely understand why there was the push and pull because there was no guarantee Owen could stay and Mara didn’t want to get heartbroken, but I did get a bit tired of it after a while.
Mara was a very interesting orc and our first female orc POV we have gotten. I really liked her and her determination to take care of her clan. We do learn some very upsetting things about her past though and how that has affected her, and her feelings about the clan. I wasn’t expecting these reveals and it made me really feel for her. But, I was glad to see that once the truth was revealed everyone took steps to help her deal with her trauma.
I really enjoyed these two and how their relationship played out. It was great seeing another orc find their fated mate and it working out despite everything trying to push them apart. I also really enjoyed that we got a little snipped of a secondary set of fated mates from the humans, and I would love to read that story.
Overall, this was another great orc romance. I have really enjoyed this series and the Bellhaven clan members. I would read more of this series.

This was truly a sweet romantic tale between an orc lady and a human man. It is refreshing to see stories about a monster FMC, especially one not conventionally attractive "by human standards."
For the majority of the series, each book involves a MF pairing with a male orc and a female human. Dedicated readers are familiar with the concept and dynamics of fated mates through the first seven books, along with orc customs, traditions, and anatomy. Now we get to finally see how those traditions and details apply through the female perspective. For example, orcs are very assertive once they identify their mate and go to claim them or insert themselves in their mates' favors right off the bat. Mara is much more tentative and unsure, fighting against those natural instincts because her mate is a human male...with his own traditions, customs, and biological urges.
Mara has been involved from the series from the very beginning helping each human bride acclimate as part of the Black Bear Clan and I am so happy we got to finally see her story unfold. Little glimpses of her meeting and interactions with Owen are hinted throughout the series, starting with Owen's introduction in "Her Orc Gentleman" and reading "His Orc Lady" is like revisiting the series and our favorite couples and making a beautiful summary and conclusion to this series.
I recommend this cozy romance with mutual pining from fated mates where it truly is love at first scent. Guaranteed happily-ever-after, this is a great book for any girl who has never felt conventionally pretty or feminine and goes to make her own beauty in the world and eventually find someone who appreciates her for who she is.

Brilliant finish to this wonderful, escapist romantasy series.
What a fantastic way to wrap up this series. I’ve been waiting for this story since we were first introduced to Mara and I was not disappointed. She’s always been the one to care for others and now she’s finally found the one to care for her.
This is a sweet, funny, intense, spicy romance with an orc FMC and human MMC. I loved getting to know more about these two characters; about Mara’s turbulent history and how she created a role for herself in the orc clan, and how Captain Owen was instantly smitten even though Mara ran from her feelings.
I was sad that this is the end of the series but delighted to see that there will be a new spin-off series coming. I can’t wait.
This is a superb series of orc romance books and it’s my absolute favourite. I love the author’s writing style, its so easy to read. I love the characters and their development throughout the stories. It’s pure escapist fantasy and I cannot get enough of it.
All the books in this series can be read as standalones but I would recommend reading them in series order. Chances are, if you love a good monster romance with a fair bit of heat and a happy ever after, then you will want to read the whole series anyway.
The reading order for this series so far:
Her Orc King (Black Bear Clan, Book 1)
Her Orc Guardian (Black Bear Clan, Book 2)
Her Orc Warrior (Black Bear Clan, Book 3)
Her Orc Protector (Black Bear Clan, Book 4)
Her Orc Husband (Black Bear Clan, Book 5)
Her Orc Gentleman (Black Bear Clan, Book 6)
Her Orc Blacksmiths (Black Bear Clan, Book 7)
His Orc Lady (Black Bear Clan, Book 8)
