Brides of Attis #2
Brutal Orc
The world is a scorched wasteland ruled by monsters. A human life is practically worthless on Attis.
My village is one of the few places where humans are safe, and I leave it all behind as I search for adventure.
I don’t find adventure.
I do find a brutally dominant orc chieftain named Xukal who could use an obedient human female.
Xukal saves my life. I’m woefully unprepared for the harsh wilderness, and if it wasn’t for the orc chieftain I would be dead.
His help does come at a price. A hefty one.
He wants me to birth him orc children.
Not one.
Not two.
Eight!
And you don’t simply refuse Xukal the Brutal.
He says I will learn to enjoy serving my chieftain.
I say I’m getting the hell out of here!

Orc chieftain found and captured you and now you're his breeder...
Very straightforward and I've got nothing to report much. It's a smut dump.

One of my biggest complaints would be the bossy arrogant nature of the hero. But ummm yeah he’s an Orc and lives up to the brutish reputation. The story is really fast paced but still packed with some plot and overarching storylines. There’s insta love but the heroine definitely wavers a time or two on her feelings even if her hormones go wonky when Xukal the Brutal is around.

I LOVED this one!! So glad I took a chance on it! I used to read this authors older books, because she had virgin heroines and then I stopped reading her when she inexplicably decided to write heroines who’ve spread their legs and been broken in by other males. So I was a bit leery going in, but I thought I’d give it a chance. It was fun, smutty and fast.
The heroine lives in a ravaged world where different species control the planet and humans aren’t the top dogs in the species hierarchy. She runs away, trying to escape her fathers cruelty and is captured by a fierce orc chieftain who decides she would be perfect to bear him sons. I liked how the hero’s “orcish” features were described, such as his tusks. I’ve read orc romances where you’d never know the hero is a brutish species because the descriptions are totally lacking.
There’s also some adventure and scheming in this story to make it interesting—it’s not ALL smut, although the smut is smokin!
Safe. Hero’s past is briefly mentioned but it’s not explicit and he doesn’t come off as a manwhore. Heroine is a virgin and belongs only to her hero. There’s some very slight OW drama but it’s not invited or accepted by the hero. No sex with others, no cheating or abuse. HEA with epilogue

I didn't really like this one as much as the last book 🤷♀️. I felt like the new 'antagonist' didn't really bring anything to the story, and wished that it was the same one from the last book instead (considering that his arc isn't finished yet).
Overall, it was alright! I'm interested to see how the series finishes in the next book 👀.

This book was brilliant and had me captivated and turning the pages till the very end all the while hoping it wouldn’t end. Nora finally leaves the human settlement and her abusive drunken father and she only stayed till Lenie was well again and could look after herself because that was the promise she made to her best friend Quins because it was her grandmother after she was taken by the Grimdar the savage the Cheiftain of the Arogh-Bul clan who owns the land there settlement is on and they pay in grains to stay. Now Nora is out of water in the desert hoping to find the city of Zorn but what she finds is a huge Green Orc taking her as his own he found her and if he leaves her she will die. Xukal the brutal Orc is well known and is the Cheiftain of Urog clan and rules with an iron fist but when he sees the human on his land while checking the boarder’s he cannot leave her there to die or worse so she will be his new bed mate but first she needs food and water and some fattening up she is to skinny but beautiful at the same time. Now back at camp he gets the sharman to look her over and she is not happy that Xukal has taken a liking to this human because she wants him for herself but he turns her away every time so why does he want this weakling. Xukal people are being killed and when one just nearly makes it back alive with a message for him the Horde is coming and King Delaki wants Xukal to bow down to his new master and leader but Xukal will never surrender to this evil man but plenty have joined with him. With danger coming soon he never thought that it would also come from one of his own trusted people and that the woman he has fallen for would be in danger and he could lose it all. How does it all turn get this must read book to find if there is a HEA or not.

I tried.
I really really tried to like this series, I got through two of the three before I finally had to admit defeat. The world is interesting, the different factions and cultures are interesting.
The sex and relationships are so, so, so, so awful.
The dialogue in the sex scenes is so horrifically bad that I have serious doubts that the author knows firsthand anything that they’re writing about, the dialogue comes straight from amateur porn, it’s so fake and so cheesy. I got secondhand embarrassment for the characters and the author while reading it.
And furthermore, the orc males constantly refer to their bits as their “orc c—k,” even when doing internal monologue that doesn’t have anything to do with the (very bad) dirty talk. Do they have a random interchangeable human one that they can just whip out at will? Or are they so stupid that they have to constantly remind themselves of what species their own genitals belong to?
I’d probably have loved this if the author played to their strengths and stuck with war and worldbuilding. Unfortunately, the writing ruined the story.

Nora + Xukal
This was a entertaining story about Nora & Xukal. Nora Ida human on the run and she runs right into the Orc of her dreams, Xukal. Initially she doesn’t realize this but Xukal recognizes something special about her almost immediately! Soon the are both find happiness in one another BUT a terrible threat called the horde disrupt their existence. Betrayal is uncovered and these 2 learn that they’ve got to fight for their HEA. I would definitely recommend this book.

brutal Orc
2nd book in this series. I had already saved it so I read.
Seriously, like the first, too much SEX. Took up 2/3’s of the book. I skipped a lot!
I as a reader want more storyline, intrigue, battles etc and less sex. Again not a prude, steamy scenes have their place. I read for entertainment and to be taken into new worlds. These two books are porn like. Not interested.

Storyteller!
Brutal Orc is my first Luna Hunter novel. I liked the plot, the story was solid and the heroine feisty. What is totally NOT to my liking is the abuse Nora takes from Xukal under the guise of passion.

Once all the annoying human assumptions are put of the way, xukal and nora make a great couple. Nice to have a cameo of the last book's couple

Great series of books.
I have read the whole series. I couldn't stop I enjoyed them so much. The characters are so well developed and written. They keep you guessing.

More of the same
Kidnapped by a big bad orc, who falls instantly for her makes her queen and knocks her up.
I'd mark this as spoilers but if you didn't guess that the. Idk

This was okay and there is really no other word to describe it. Also, the summary is a bit of a false... he does not mention any amount if children for her to have, she's the one that tells him that she would have 8 of his kids.
