Orc's Craving

Monster Mate Hunt, Book 1

By: Ava Ross

Narrated by: Stephen Borne, Scarlett Dorian

Can an orc commander protect a lonely woman from the dangers in his world?

Rhoslyn

When my sister is chosen for the Monster Mate Hunt—an annual event where two women must sacrifice themselves to the orcs for the good of us all—I volunteer in her place. The orcs hunt me as I bolt through the forest. I'm captured by the gruff, growly Commander Jaus, who expects me to cook and clean, plus sleep in his quarters with him at night, despite insisting he doesn't want a mate.

Then something changes, and his dark, brooding gaze turns my way . . .

Jaus

Rhoslyn's beautiful, spitting mad, and determined never to be my bride. I take her to my home in the orc city, and in no time, I long for what I don't deserve—a mate and a life full of joy. When the city's attacked, and her life is in danger, I'll destroy everything just to protect her. I'm going to defeat our enemy, and then I'm going to make Rhoslyn mine.

Contains mature themes.

MFC OMg Annoyed me

Her breathy voice irritated me so much.
I had to put her chapters on speed just to get over her breathy catches every damn time. it's so annoying

Female Narrator

I couldn't finish the book. The female narrator was awful. Every other syllable was a huge gasping inhale and it drove me crazy! Plot wasn't bad for the parts I got to but I won't be continuing.

Horrible narration

The story was overall good- worth reading if you're into fantasy romance. The narrators were going different speeds- i had to speed the MC narrator up just to make it listenable. Both narrators were dull in their voice acting

not bad

it was good . could be better. the main female lead was brave and strong, which was a good difference. very good.

It could be just me, but...

....I'm half way into this and I'm over the female narrator. She's doing too much and completely ruined the first love scene for me. She sounded so scared and too breathy and made it seem like an action scene or something. Idk. I'm invested in the story so I'll continue, but I hope she calms down and slow down!!! She's rushing through it.
