This was such a surprise—so different from anything I’ve ever read, and I’ve read a lot! I loved it! I won’t spoil the story, but I think you’ll really feel how different it is.
There was only one adjective used to describe large things in this book: massive. It was over-used as it kept showing up when the size of an object didn't even need to be described at the moment. A large orc won't keep describing his own body parts as "massive", for example. For him, his arm is simply the arm he's always had so there's no need for the constant reminder from him. The sheer number of times "massive" appeared in the book was enough to continuously ruin any efforts to maintain an immersive reading experience.
This is only one of the issues I had with the book. It also has a flat tone throughout. During moments that should contain intense emotions, we don't get descriptions of what the characters are feeling. Instead, we're told how their bodies are reacting to the events. Heads snapping, spines straightening, thigh clenching, grips tightening, etc. We can only assume there are emotions behind these actions, but we'll never know.
As a first-person, present tense perspective, we're experiencing events as the characters are. So we should feel a sense of urgency, or calm, or tension, as the moment calls for it. But we don't because both points of view are constantly describing peripheral details. Even during intense fights, the character doesn't seem focused on the fight itself but on describing the size of things, what someone's wearing, etc. Since the characters aren't themselves immersed in these events, neither is the reader. A fight or physical intimacy is as exciting as a dinner.
It is by no means a well-written book and requires a thorough editing.
This Protheka story was an enjoyable read that's about Catherine a human witch who sees who will die and Vulfric our Orc and Jarl of the Mountain. Catherine is taken from her home by guards of the village during a cold snowy night to be a sacrifice to the Offering Stone. Chained to the stone as Catherine slowly freezes Vulfric arrives. He plans to mercy kill her but then she shouts left and an Ursain beast charges toward him. After killing the beast Vulfric knows she's more and carries her to his home. What occurs as he tells her she is his and renames her Little Cat is an engaging story that I'd received a copy and volunteer to read and review.

Catherine is given as an offering to the Orc as her people believe she is a witch that is causing mayhem in their village.
Vulfric was going to end her suffering but Catherine warns him he was about to be attacked. He then decides that she is going to be his little pet and takes her with him.
Catherine was gifted with the gift of "sight" (being able to see things before they happen. In her village she would have been beaten for this but Vulfric sees this as the greatest gift.
Winter Orc Daddy is a spicy collaboration between S R Meadows and Celeste King. Catherine is left to die at the black stone near the Orc stronghold as a sacrifice to save the human town. Vulfric takes her back to his kingdom as a pet but soon realizes she's a Seer, who thwarts an attack on his position. She again saves him during a duel with a mercenary who tries to poison him. In the end a frail human is crowned queen, the white wolf.
At the beginning her hair was blonde and the colour of “dead winter grass”, but then it says her hair is dark, but she has always been described as having light hair. Also there were missing words that it was clear the author meant to edit it but didn’t finish.
Liker å lese om en helt som vet hva han vil ha og tar henne. Heltinnen er svak i starten men gjennom historien ser vi hennes styrke blir sterk og selvsikker. Sex scenene er erotisk og troverdig. Kos dere med boka.
Catherine is chained to a slab in the snow wearing only a light shift. This is how Vulfric finds her. She will be his pet. But that is far from what her "sight" sees. Enjoy
