Return of the Horde #3

All in a Days Orc

Rate this book
Being kidnapped by orcs was not how the day was supposed to start.

It was just a regular morning for Ivy Molina. Fighting with her brother at breakfast about how to save the family business after the most recent attack. Then, it all went south.

Now, she’s sitting in the bottom of a pit looking up at the biggest orc she’s ever seen. He’s her captor, her keeper and she should hate everything about him.

But, she doesn’t.
She pretends to.
Until, she can’t.

The angry, hulking orc has been charged with watching her until her fate is decided. Only, there’s far more going on here. His mating fever flames when the captive he’s supposed to guard is the human female he’s been stalking for months.

They are on opposite sides of a war. Can this rage filled orc unlock his heart for his one true mate? Or will duty and loyalty cost him a life he never thought he could have?

Author’s Note: These should-be enemies end up chained together in more ways than one. It’s opposites attract and zero to five spicy peppers in a Stockholm heartbeat. It’s safe, no cheating, fated mates and all the possessive, protective orc-ness you expect!

This is the third in the Al-pha Horde series of interconnected stand alones about four orc brothers! Ivy and Oran are both hot headed and hard hearted until they combust and burn up the pages!

Since I was a little girl, I’ve made up stories. I would lay in my bed at night and before I knew what a trope was, I would make up these trope filled stories. Boy sees girl, boys falls for girl, boy saves girl….happily ever after. As I got older, the stories turned steamier and more intricate, but the basics never changed.

Now, my books are still full of romance but the naughty bits are naughtier, my hero’s are obsessed alpha types and my heroines are quirky, real women who come in all shapes and sizes.

So, sit back, banish the real world and get lost in some over the top romance with a heaping helping of hot. xoxoxo

I LOVE THIS SERIES! This is how fated mates is done, with double virgins, AND they get their sexual awakening for the first time only when the two fated mates are close to one another or when they first meet, they get no hard on or get horny for anyone else but for their fated mate!
In this story we have Oran a scarred, hurt, sweet cinnamon roll orc. He was brutally tortured and experimented on long ago, and he still has scars he deals with, both on his body and in his mind. He doesn't react to his mate exactly like his brothers, and other orcs, because for him getting a whiff of his mate for the first time, it starts off being painful for him, and the pain in his chest also confuses him.....sweet Oran doesn't realize it is love at first sight. He only knows pain and anguish and he was ready for rejection and hurt. He also hates to be touched.
Ivy, (better call her Drozna though ;) is a no nonsense, sassy, boss bitch that was trained not to feel fear, but to fight. She is determined and goes toe to toe with the Orcs that kidnapped her. Oran guards the pit where she stays prisoner, but he vows to get her out. (He only guards the pit in exchange for money, and as a favor for having the orcs he works for save his life and help him escape the facility where they were tortured, so he feels he owes a debt to these orcs.) She is his mate though which changes everything, and he has loyalty only for her, and will protect her with his life.
She is a prisoner and she does try to escape, the kidnapper orcs beat her when Oran was collecting clothes for her, and when he comes back to take her back to the safety of his clan, he sees her bruised and bloodied, and he sees red, (WARNING: that scene was particularly violent and gory...I relished every bit of the bloodshed because they deserved it!). Ivy was confused and hurt, and she told Oran that she never wants to see him again, he wails in anguish, but goes after her, because even though he thinks she doesn't want him, he swore to protect her, even from afar. Ivy is tired and sad and when Oran calls to her, her body and soul and heart goes to him. She apologizes and they have makeup sex. (There is a lot of sex before that and it is hot orc style sex!) I loved this novel and I love this entire series!
This is fated mates done right! Oh, I will always love Oran the sweet cinnamon roll with a daddy kink, he really pulled at my heartstrings. All the heroes are great in this series.
This is super safe
No cheating
NO OW/OM
DOUBLE VIRGINS, fated mates, one and only love
scarred hero
spirited, but angry heroine
daddy/little girl kink
little stalking by the hero wanting to be close to his woman
all the orc porn you want is back in this one
HEA
Happy reading! I am already planning to reread the three novels back to back and hoping Dani Wyatt gives us more fated mates, double virgin, true love goodness in future, she writes them so well!

I'm really loving this series!!

Oran holds a lot of anger from his time being held captive and tortured before returning to Earth. Doing work for less than honorable orcs never bothered him. When him has a job to monitor a human that is being held captive, at first, he couldn't care less. That is until he recognized her as his mate. Ivy holds a lot of anger inside of her. When they come to try and get her grandfather to sell his marina, Ivy will fight all those who come. When she's kidnapped and thrown in a pit, she's not sure what to do. That is until she sees Oran and feels something stir inside of her. But, how can they be mates when Oran can't stand the pain of someone touching him? And, can they fight together instead of each other to get away from the orcs that kidnapped her? I'm absolutely loving this series! I love how the orcs talk and try to understand human phrases.

e n d i n g :
HEA + baby on the way!

p l o t :
Oran has endured a lot of torture in his past, his body experimented on and tampered with, and it’s affected his ability to feel and process emotions. Because of that he views himself as damaged, which stops him from pursuing his mate, Ivy, when he finds her.

He just stalls her instead lol. He vows to protect her and watch over her from afar, but nothing more than that bc he believes he will hurt her.

But they’re forced together unexpectedly when she’s presented as his new charge in the shady hostage guard gig he’s being doing on the DL. He doesn’t know what to do. If he frees her, they’ll come down on his family. If he does nothing, his mate will suffer.

Of course, all of this is offset by Oran being a cutie alpha male.

“Shhh, little human.”

“Why don’t you ever use my name? Ivy. My name is IVY.”

He looks like I just fed him a lemon, his mouth opens, then closes again as he shakes his head. “No. You are little one or Drozna.”


lol yeah, *SPOILER* turns out Ivy means shit in their language lollll

More Oran cuteness:

I take Ivy in my arms and ignore her complaints. There’s no way I’m letting her walk when I can just as easily carry her.


h o t  c l i p s:

“Come, my little one. You will feel better if you put Daddy’s cock in your mouth.”

♥︎
“Raw cock in your sweet pussy, my mate.“

♥︎
“I’m in you, my little one. Daddy’s inside you. Such a good girl for me.”

♥︎
“I am close, my little one. Daddy will fill this tight hole with all his seed until your belly and your tits swell.“

♥︎
He thrusts faster, faster, more and more inside me until I think he will come up into my throat.

He fucks me like a doll, using me up and down, up and down, until the world goes hazy and my body is slack in his hands.

“Daddy loves you, little one.”

I’m filled with ten pounds of thick orc semen when he finally finishes raw dogging me like a blow-up doll.

I have been waiting for Oran’s story and Dani didn’t disappoint me at all with it.

Ivy is loud, head strong, protective and stupidly brave. I adore her strength and fight throughout this story.

Oran is quiet and still haunted by his past when him, his family and the rest of orca were held hostage and tortured. I loved how he swallowed his aversion to touch for his mate and did everything in his power to protect her and their families.

Dani packed this with just as much emotion as she did action and threw in just the right amounts of Daddy kink and spice. This may be a read that’s on the quicker side, but this talented author didn’t slack on plot or character build and I loved every single word. I can’t wait to see where she takes this series!

2.5⭐️

Este libro… no fue bueno para mi. En comprar a la historia anterior este fue raro, por decirlo menos, no entendí bien el rol de Oron y tampoco comprendí esa relación que comienza casi como un síndrome de Estocolmo. Si, yo sé que el la quería desde lejos con anterioridad, pero no ella. Y, como no sé entrego suficiente información respecto de qué pasó con él y cómo experimentaron con él no se entendía del todo por qué no se debajo tocar. Además, todo fue muy rápido, muy raro y las escenas de sexo fueron raras para mi. No me importa el sexo fuerte, pero esto fue raro, demasiado intenso y eso fue sin sentido. Espero que el siguiente libro sea como los anteriores, porque este me decepcionó.

I am loving this series so much!!! I think it is some of Dani's best work. Oran and Ivy are mates even though she tries to run from him and he doesn't like to be touched. They both learn to trust one another and begin having deeper feelings. With his magical orc appendage and tongue the steam level is high. Dani's sense of humor shinning through with some lol moments (her name in orc language 💩😆). The action when the saving takes place. All this makes this a well rounded story and I can't wait to read the next installment!

I am leaving my honest review for a complimentary copy of this book via the author.

Dani is back with another great fated mate Orc PNR book that will leave you wanting more. I really enjoyed Oran and Ivy together. Oran is really sweet underneath a very tough skin. Ivy is awesome and is perfect for Oran. These two have some ups and downs with lots of drama and steamy but they do get a much-needed and deserved HEA. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

I received a free e-book copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Such a good broken hero orc book!

Ivy was great too! I looked forward to reading this book for weeks and it did not disappoint! It was a little dark, a little filthy, but absolutely sexy as all get out too! There was some Orc intrigue and bad human ing of course, it reads fast, but held my interest from start to finish. The intimate scenes were deliciously graphic and adorably schticky, but I kind of loved that about them too, lol!

I received an ARC and I'm freely reviewing.

Wowza!!! This was a definite surprise of ORC and daddy/breeding kink. If that type of trope isn't for you, then this is not the one to dive into. In this book, we get Oran, the standoffish brother that holds himself away from his clan. You get his side of it and I love that we see that. Ivy is his mate and she is an angry, spit fire of a female, she's perfect for him. You won't be disappointed.

Great but could’ve been better

I loved their story but I felt like more time could have been spent on Oran’s trauma and healing. I expected more to do with his aversion to touch and also how he viewed himself.
He was so hurt by things she said and I didn’t feel like that was resolved.
Daddy kink 🥵

Forced proximity ⛓️

The coupling of Ivy and Oran

This is book three and a quick read for the young Orc called Oran. He was tortured in a way that he craves violence. Oran fears that he will never have a mate like his clan brothers. However, one night whilst he was out walking in the woods he smelled a divine scent. He followed it a found this beautiful tiny human woman named Ivy. There are triggers and violence. Read On!

Fantastically intense

Romance, action and suspense. When these orcs find their mates, they go crazy. Oran was not doing well having not found his mate as his brothers, but when he finds Ivy, and she falls in danger, all bets are off for whomever touches his mate. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

If you love monsters, instalove, fated mates, and sexy times this is for you. The return of the horde series has all your smutty monster needs. From the creative anatomy of the orcs, with double the fun, to the fact that they literally glow when there lady is fertile. It's a wild ride, but a quick fun smutty read.

Oran watches and obsesses over Ivy but thinks he is too consumed by darkness to be good enough for a mate. However, he does end up coming face to face with Ivy when she is kidnapped by people he works with. I loved Oran and Ivy's story especially because it was so steamy and had daddy elements.

Love this book. Couldn’t wait to read about Oran. Ivy was a fierce little lady but she took that beating like a boss. Their daddy/ little play was the best. Super freaks and I love every single time.

Soooo. Orc porn with a Daddy kink… I probably should have read the reviews before I started reading this. Tevs.

I am giving it two stars because I read “Daddy” and “Milking” way too many times, especially with how short this story was.

It is what it is: A quick dirty kinky monster read.

good

This was a quick and dirty read. He really shouldn’t have left her there, but at least nothing too bad happened. He definitely has a filthy mouth which is entertaining.
