Snowed In With My Orc Ex-Lover: A Cozy Monster Romance
A jaded human woman returns home, only to end up trapped in a snowstorm with the orc who broke her heart.
Did this orc just slam a door in my face?
I knew returning home to Pigeonbrook would mean facing the past, but I didn’t think I’d ever see my orc ex-lover Torwood again. Unfortunately my grandma’s taken a shine to him, and now there’s seven feet of gorgeous green muscle renting a room in the former inn she calls home. I want nothing to do with him, and that seems like the only thing we have in common.
When a blizzard brings record-breaking cold and a prolonged power outage, I have to find a way to exist under the same roof as the chiseled orc I once loved. He can barely string a sentence together when talking to me, so why can’t I stop imagining his warm body around mine? Snap out of it Vanessa, that’s your high school ex-boyfriend you’re fantasizing about! Oh god, is he taking off his shirt again?
Snowed In With My Orc Ex-Lover is a standalone novella set in the world of Pigeonpond. All books in the Monster Men of Pigeonpond series are cozy and funny, with high spice and a guaranteed HEA!

Sweet Orc Second Chance Novella
Aww this one was so sweet. It’s been 10 years since Vanessa’s been back to her hometown where her heart was broken. She needs to go help her grandma who has recently fallen. But guess who is staying at grandmas former inn. Her brother’s friend, who she thought was going somewhere her senior year and instead ended up with a broken heart. But Torwood never forgot her and never stopped loving her. But Vanessa’s temper and anger over the heartbreak won’t let Torwood too close. But it sure doesn’t stop Vanessa from crushing on his huge orc frame.

Thank you BookSprout, and Cleo Antler for sending me this advanced review copy for free. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
This was a delightful and cozy little monster romance.
I love that Vanessa and Torwood had a second chance to find each other and fall in love again. The Inn is beautiful, Grandma is full of fire and spirit, and it is the sweetest HEA for everyone. This is a fun quick read that will warm your heart, and make you smile the entire time. The spice was really good too!

I had the pleasure of receiving an ARC in exchange for my honest review. This was such a fun, cute, and quick read! It would be perfect as a palate cleanser between books or if you just really like orcs (me 🙋🏼♀️). Sexy, gentle giants have my heart and Torwood 100% fits the bill. One of my favorite aspects of this novella was seeing the very sweet relationship between Torwood and Shirley. My one “critique” would be that I wish it was longer to allow for the relationship to develop more, if you can even call it that. Looking forward to the next in the series!

My favourite genre with those yummy green guys and this is also a new author for me. :D I did also grab the prequel via the author's email subscription and will be keeping an eye out for more from her.
This has Vanessa returning home has to deal with re-surfacing feelings for Torwood, whom she left behind. Then ends up being snowed in with him for company. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Look forward to more. I did also purchase this before I saw the ARC. :D

cozy orc romance
Vanessa and Torwood are the perfect story of a 2nd chance romance. It’s a cozy cute and spicy reconnection between two hearts that never fully moved on from one another. This quick read is full real feel-good emotion and light on angst.

Actually very cute! A bit of spice as well but the story was cute- nice to see a story where someone comes back to where they grew up and faces their issues to grow and find love and happiness.
