Sworn to the Orc

Hidden Hollow, Book 1

By: Evangeline Anderson

Narrated by: Ada Sinclair

Sarah has been bound all her life—a spell cast on her during childhood keeps her from talking to strangers or having romantic relationships. But when she’s drawn to Hidden Hollow, a gruff and growly Orc helps her unlock the mystery behind her strange dilemma. Can the two of them free Sarah from her enchantment? Or will the family curse hovering over her head get them both killed? Find out in this Spicy Monster Romance!

Hi, I’m Sarah and my life is a mess. I lost my online job and my rent just doubled...
Luckily, just when I was at my lowest point, a strange messenger came to my apartment. He had an envelope that contained my Grandmother’s last will and testament. Only…I had forgotten all about her. How was that possible?

I was about to find out. When a mysterious door appeared in my living room, I walked through it…and found myself in the world of Hidden Hollow—a snug New England town where it’s inexplicably always Autumn. A magic bubble surrounds the town, making sure that no one without magic talent can come in. But where does that leave me? I don’t have any magic…do I?

Surprise—it turns out I’m descended from a long line of witches. At least, that’s what the scary Orc who chased me through the backyard of my new house told me after he calmed down. Also there’s a curse on my family and apparently I’m the one who’s supposed to break it—but how?

Who knows what Hidden Hollow holds for me? And should I be getting so close to the Orc next door? Are humans and Orcs compatible that way? I’d better find out quick because trouble is brewing and I’m going to need a man—or an Orc—to stand by my side when the storm breaks.
Because in Hidden Hollow…anything is possible.

Delightful story

I loved every single thing about this story very detailed really brought you into hidden hollow and you got to know the characters.

Cute, fun little listen!

This is a great listen is you like fun, light-hearted fantasy with some steamy spice! My only real complaint is that all the narration is done by a single person (which isn't my personal preference), but that being said she did a great job!

My favorite Evangeline book by far!

I’m so excited that the author is starting a creative and fun new series! This book made me chuckle at its charm all the way through. Great idea!

my new favorite of EA's series

I am a fan of Evangeline Anderson to begin with, but I think I have found my new favorite series. I absolutely love the world she has created and the characters she has introduced. This was such a fun read! It is a slow burn, too. So many comical points in the story. I cannot wait for more books to be released in this series on audiobook.

The heroin was not a grand beauty, but instead was a large short girl like me.

Liked the curse, the way she finds out with a story within a story, and the imagery of choking out weeds.
