The Silver Fury #1
The Orc's Bride
Orcs killed my family. They order us around and take from us what they want. And I am determined to end their rule. So when the ferocious silver-eyed orc says he’ll carry me away from my backwater village right to the orc capital, I take this chance. Being among orcs and having access to their Imperator, I can save humankind.
There is only one complication. This orc wants me to become his mate. He promises, or rather threatens, to court me over the journey. And orc courtship isn’t about flowers and holding hands. It’s about showing me his desire. I must pretend to be attracted to him so he doesn’t discover my secret.
The problem is… I don’t really have to pretend. I'm falling in love with my deadliest enemy.
This steamy monster romance is a 37,000 word novella and ends with a HFN. It’s book one in The Silver Fury series.

I did not enjoy this novel as much as I was hoping to enjoy it. I love monster romances as a general rule, but the writing skill here was disappointing. The heroine had somewhat clumsy characterization, with her thoughts and emotional reactions feeling way off. The actions and internal monologues of the characters seemed unrealistic, without much nuance. The world building was more interesting, but a lot of elements of this society and the fantasy landscape went unexplained or occasionally contradicted itself, which was disappointing. I do not recommend this fantasy romance, since there are some other excellent orc romances out there by S.J. Sanders, Tracy Lauren, and Finley Fenn that have far superior characterization, world building, and romantic relationship development.

Oh. My. Goodness! That was amazing! Cliffhanger ending but sounds like the rest of the series is out.
This was soooooooo good!
Orc smut with excellent consent.
Thoughtfully done with lovely character and relationship growth in such a short book. I’m guessing the other two books and this make one solid story. Not sure why the author would want three books rather than one longer one.
One of the only things that brings this down a little is the absolutely absurd size difference between the main characters.

Cliff ~
I hate not being informed that a book is a cliff hanger. I hate being forced to get another book just to finish the story. IF there had been a disclaimer of a non-ending, I would have been the choice to continue or not. I would have given this story the full five. I enjoyed reading it very much.

This is the romance between Una and Urgan💚
This book takes place in a world different than our own, where the orc race is superior. Una, a human woman, holds a disdain for orc kind. They killed her whole family, and she is now required to serve them. After a huge battle the general of the orcs, Urgan, takes notice of Una and wants her as his bride. Though terrified, Una agreed to him courting her. She has plans of her own, which may include trying to assassinate the leader of all orc kind.
This was so much fun! I could not put this down!!
I just thought this was an entertaining read, and my enjoyment of the story equals five stars.
I loved the tension and angst!! I was just waiting for these two to get together the whole time!
Cannot wait to read the next book in the series :)
BEWARE: this book ends on a cliffhanger!!

4 stars…
I liked it but I really don’t want to read this as a whole series so I’m probs not going to continue. I read the blurbs for the other two and they sound fine and it’s my fault for not realizing this trio was all about the same couple it that’s just not my cup of tea. Also I kind of hate Una so…
2/5 on spice. 3/5 on kink. 1/5 on tears. Una seems like an idiot

Not your every day romance
I have to say, I’ve only recently joined the Orc bandwagon. So all of this is new to me and I don’t have a lot to compare it too.
That being said, it was still an enjoyable read. I like that the stereotypical character features were not here. The FMC was short, brown haired, brown/hazel eyes, and not lusted after by all. Which gave it a very realistic and relatable feel.
I like the twists, the agonist, the world building, and the depth and growth of the characters as they book starts all the way to how it ended. I have to say, I was very angry and hoping for a cure when one of my favorite animal sidekicks is killed off. It wasn’t fair and that’s the only negative I can say about the story line.
I do have to say the book switched from 3rd person to 1st person, smoothly, but it reveals the feeling of newness by the authors writing skills.
All in all, still a really good book, with great characters, and HEA.

I found the writing style for this story interesting - it is dual POV but the male orc lead’s perspective is third person and the female human lead’s perspective is first person.
Urgan is a successful orc general celebrating his most recent victory when a trusted friend advises that he is likely to be offered the orc princess’ hand in marriage to stop him attacking the orc leader. Not being interested in the spoiled, rude princess, Urgan looks at the next viable alternative - already being married - and, since courting an orc female will take too long, he decides to marry a convenient human female who shows some backbone, Una.
Una is angry at the orc invaders and seizes opportunity to get to the capital hoping to start a rebellion. But along the way, she comes to know Urgan as an individual and to think about the impacts of her choices.
This novella is a dystopian monster romance and ends with a happy for now ending, with the couple paired but with overarching plot issues unresolved. Whilst the writing style is unusual, it was interesting and I deeply enjoyed the premise of the story.

Urgan and Una's Story . . .
Urgan is a popular Orc General for the Imperator. In a clever move to prevent him from ever becoming powerful enough to overthrow the Imperator, he will force Urgan to marry his daughter Princess Urzulah, a vile female cruel to her servants and prone to temper tantrums, as soon as Urgan returns from battle. Urgan has no desire to marry her, so the best way to avoid this fate is to find a human mate instead.
Una is a human who plans to get to the Imperator and start a rebellion against the Orcs. When Urgan selects her and informs her he wants to court her and take her to the capital, she thinks this is her way of getting where she needs to be for the rebellion. But as they travel, each of them learns more about each other. Respect and trust begin to form so that when danger arises, they can face it together. The book ends on a cliffhanger so we will soon find out if Urgan’s marriage plans work out. Will they find out the real reason that each of them wanted this marriage?

Wow
The Orc’s Bride is a solid romance of Urgan and Una. Like that the heroine is feisty, strong, and willing to change her opinion when presented with evidence to do so. Exciting action and a quick read.

Great Story!
Ok I really enjoyed this story. Both Urgan and Una have scars but they are able to find completion, love, acceptance and happiness in each other. I can’t wait to read the sequel. I would definitely recommend this book.

I'm not going to lie, but I was not too fond of Una for hurting Urgan's feelings. I liked her in the beginning, hated her in the middle but liked her again in the end. I can't wait for the next book.

It was fun to see them start to like each other. It was also good to see that the conflict they had was fir a valid reason, they had been hiding things from eachother.

Very good. I thought the plot was compelling and it moved at a good pace. It’s definitely a slower burn. The one odd thing is that the author used first person for the heroine and third person for the hero. It would have been nice if she had just maintained one perspective.

ooooooh a promising start!!
I’ll never get tired of “vengeful human seeks to destroy her enemy but ends up falling in love instead” - I don’t know if that’s a “trope” or not but it’s addicting.
Human world was invaded by orcs (and other orc realm monsters) over a century ago and now, orcs mostly rule over what’s left. Orc empire is slowly conquering the more “feral” clans, feral clans which have been mistreating the much weaker humans. The General of the army conquering the clans learns that he’s going to be married to an odious orc princess so, instead, he chooses a human to elope with. During a handful of days journeying, Una (the human FMC) learns that are her opinions on orcs must be reshaped and that, wow, does she actually like her silver eyed orc general.
There’s a set up for overthrowing a orc king - which I’m not too sure off, considering this orc king supposedly has laws in place to somewhat protect humans and to unite all orcs so is he truly a bad ruler? BUT main MMC of this book could be a good ruler too, considering his lineage makes him more sympathetic to humans.
The thing that bothered me?? All FMC chapters are first person, all MMC chapters are third. It makes the male feel dumber, somehow, like he’s internally “Bob likes food. Bob wants truth. Bob fights good and doesn’t use the word I.” In reality, he’s not low intelligence at all.
All things considered, it’s a fast read. DEFINITELY a slow burn, considering there’s really only a finale of by-the-lake banging before the mild cliff hanger that the orc king wants him dead. I assume the rest of the trilogy features this inter-species couple figuring their relationship out and the continuing background plot of overthrowing the orc king.
2/5 spice, 2/5 fluff, BUT fairly solid world building.

The Orc’s Bride is a monster romance and book one in The Silver Fury series. Urgan is a powerful Orc who has many victories in battle. When he discovers that he’s expected to marry the spoiled princess to form an alliance with the Imperator, he soon creates a plan to get out of it. He can’t marry a spoiled princess if he’s already married right?? An Orc female would expect a long engagement, but maybe he would be able to marry a human woman quickly…
I really enjoyed this read! Una was a strong character on her own and I appreciated her strength. She was a wonderful match for Urgan, the Orc general. I enjoyed the cultural clash between the two of them and the transition from reluctant allies to friends to mates. The political world building was really interesting, but I felt like I wanted a little more - but perhaps this will expand in the rest of the series
Overall this was a four star read for me. I really enjoyed this world and characters, but found myself wanting more & wishing it was a little longer. This book was a smidge of a slow burn but did have a few spicy scenes, so overall two flames for spice
If you’re a fan of Orc and monster romance dual POV, marriage of convenience, with unique fantasy world building, then absolutely pick this one up!

I enjoyed this Monster Romance story with the two main characters that were Uragan and Una. And also the rest of the characters to.
Una is a human female. She lives in a human village. A bad Orc and his army has took over the village and has been taking what ever they want. But one day another Orc army that has came from the capital to overthrow the bad orc's. When the capital army has won they decided to celebrate. That is when she meets Uragan. After talking to him and deciding to go with him to the capital.
Uragan is an Orc that is also the general from the capital. He has been told to take out the bad orc that has been making trouble within the human village. After defeating them his troops decided to celebrate. While celebrating he decides to find a mate. So that he doesn't have to marry the Imperator daughter.
This was a fun and sweet story. The author had me laughing at lot throughout the story. The only things that made me sad is that the story will be a continue with another part. But they seem to have a happy end.
I received a complimentary copy via Booksprout. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

I wanted to enjoy this, I really did but... wow the FMC is so fucking stupid. I'm just astounded at her stupidity. Her plans are half-baked at best and she acts surprised when they fail miserably or someone points out a major flaw in her plan. She supposedly has a temper but honestly it felt more like poor impulse control.
The MMC isn't much better, he's a massive hypocrite. His entire reason for having a wife is to stop an arranged match and be stopped from overthrowing his Imperator. He doesn't tell her this and yet he gets mad about the FMC lying to him about her motivations and desire to go with him.
Also, he's the conqueror, why is he surprised that she wants to overthrow them? He has a vague thought towards humans being equal to orcs about half-way through the book but his actions don't follow through with this belief. In the beginning of the story he doesn't go out of his way to treat the humans well, he uses them as servants exactly the same way as their previous overlord. He clearly thinks less of humans when he thinks their women will be easier to get married to than orc women.

Spoiler maybe:
First I did not know it would not end the story so yea..so on to the next
Una : brave and scared poor girl only grew up with fear and revenge and she battled both together. Parents both murdered and taking revenge now her plans are uprooted with the general who throws her world off course.
Urgan - motives to get a bride as to not wed another ends up taking a human to we'd someone that stirs something into him her defiance has him enthralled. Things change though they are being hunted and by who. He goes from needing her as a means to his future to now wanting her with everything he has.
Ok I read reviews where people were mentioning corrections that could have been edited but are we talking about the human speech to orc? Maybe I missed something again I'm not a professional but I felt it was written very well there was a full story and romance mixed in together. We got to know backgrounds of both characters
BIG Spoiler: how dare you kill the horse off I've never felt more betrayed than never ending story horse passing now I'm unwell..

Characters: Una and Urgan
Spice rating: 🌶🌶🌶 out of 5
Monster romance
This book kind of reminds of the dragon shifter series by Ruby Dixon, because these Orcs have come to be on Earth due to some tear in the universe.
Una is a server for these creators that are Orcs. She absolutely hates them because Orcs destroyed and murdered her family, she wants to get the Capital so she can kill Orcs and the leader.
Urgan is the Captain of his group and he is going to be pushed to marry a woman he doesn’t want, so he asks Una if she would be willing to mate with him and also marry him.
Both characters lied to each other in the beginning, Urgan got more upset about the lying then Una did, but he also has had a bad past of another woman using and lying to him. So I can understand why he was mad
I really liked this story, this story does end on a cliffhanger so be warned there are two other books to this series

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
• ʀᴇᴠᴇɴɢᴇ • ᴅᴇꜱɪʀᴇ • ᴇɴᴇᴍɪᴇꜱ ᴛᴏ ʟᴏᴠᴇʀꜱ •
This book was a mix of spice and action but it actually had a good plot. The spice wasn't thrown in just for the sake of it.
I liked the characters. Una was consumed by her grief and was determined to get her revenge but she was also aware of her growing attraction to Urgan.
Urgan had ulterior motives for courting Una to begin with, but he soon realised that he didn't want to have a fake relationship her, he wanted her to be his mate.
The pacing was good, although I wish they had to fight off different creatures rather than the same kind, over and over again.
I liked the world building and I was curious about the capital and the other places the Orcs had conquered.
The slow burn was done well and glad it actually amounted to something by the end.
I wasn't completely surprised by the twist at the end but I'm still looking forward to reading the next book.

This book was rich with worldbuilding and a slow burn romance that had you rooting for Una and Urgan to get together! I loved how there was a little bit of a push and pull between them. Not everything was perfect in their relationship, but love wins in the end! When the spice finally happens in this book, it is straight up perfection!
While other reviews noted there being a cliffhanger, I wasn't totally bothered by it, which is saying a lot. I typically do not read cliffhangers. That said, this book ends with a happily ever after, for now and I'm pretty sure that the other books are out.😅
Overall, this was such a light, quick read. I loved the intriguing world it was set in, the road trip vibes and the blossoming romance.

This is Book 1 in The Silver Fury Series. It tells of how Urgan and Una end up together. Urgan is an Orc and the general in the Orc Imperator’s army. Una is a human slave that Urban decided he will court and make his wife so that he will not have to marry the Imperator’s daughter. Una has a different reason for agreeing to go with him, but things do not work out as planned for either of them. This is well written, with amazing, strong characters! The world building is very well done also! I am really looking forward to reading the next book!

terrible
Terrible writing stile, irritating main characters, descriptors and thoughts of the chapters were also very unrealistic and not interesting in any way. Instead of letting the reader think and decipher situations and emotions the author would say things like this, “it was a show of dominance” and “she trembled with fear” very elementary writhing style and quite frankly, annoying. The author should build a world with their words to make you feel like you are really there, instead you can only think about how irritating the main chapters are portrayed. The plot and flow of the book also felt forced.

I did enjoy this one, Una had fire in her and couldn't see the bigger picture at first it was all revenge and hatred for Orcs only then did she realise her hatred was misguided not all of them where bad seeds after meeting Urgan, an Orc general travelling with him and his companions she realised her mistake and started falling in love with him. I really did enjoy this one, the only qualm I have is how misleading it was without a warning that it's a cliffhanger and possibly a series, why wasn't it clear from the very beginning. Overall, good book, made me laugh and scared and the two main characters had great chemistry.
