Romancing the Orc

A How I Met My Monster Standalone

By: Krista Luna

Narrated by: Michelle Price, Tor Thom

Don't judge a book by its cover model, unless he's an orc with abs of steel and a pierced…

After the makeover of the century, I walk onstage in too-high heels…and trip in front of thousands of people! I'm saved from becoming a face-plant meme by Brokk, who catches me in a romantic dip that makes my tummy flutter. Which it so totally shouldn't.

Because Brokk's not just the hunky model on my book covers. He also lives 24/7 in an orc costume with tusks and green skin. I might write monster romance and wish I had an orc of my own, but monsters aren't real! How can I take this guy seriously?

When a creep kidnaps me and demands I solve the mystery of a magical artifact, because of something similar in one of my books, it's Brokk who rescues me once again.

Turns out he's not just a gorgeous face and a lickable set of abs. In the jungle, Brokk transforms into the ultimate warrior, vowing to protect me. As we race to beat the bad guys to the prize, heat sizzles between us. When I discover all of Brokk is green, I wonder…What if it's not a costume? What if the guy I'm falling for can make all my monster-loving dreams come true?

Romancing the Orc is The Lost City meets Romancing the Stone, but make it monster! It's a cozy spicy romance between an orc who can't keep his shirt on and a hot-mess heroine with a thing for monsters. Featuring: fated mates, good girl praise, touch her and regret it, forced proximity, he falls first, opposites attract, he's sweet in the streets, dominant in the sheets. It's part of How I Met My Monster, a series that reimagines your favorite rom-com classics with delicious monster extras!

this was amazing

it was perfect. such an adventure and a wonderful start to the whole Ferndale Falls series.

Love this story!

The blurb that mentions it's a mix-up of Romancing the Stone and The Lost City was spot-on! Imagine The Lost City but Channing Tatum is an orc. The narrators' performance elevated way was an already fantastic story, especially Tor Thom; there were a few places where the narration could have gotten awkward but he was brilliant! The characters are fun and flirty, the story was very well-written, and super-steamy. 🥵 If you're not into steam, you won't want to read this. I will definitely be looking for other stories by this author.
