About this ebook

The orc warrior says I’m his… soulmate?

A long time ago, my father sold my sister to an orc. I haven’t heard from her since, but I am determined to find her and bring her home. During my first week on the road north, however, I cross paths with a massively tall Orc Guardian who claims I’m his… fated mate.

Magnus the Wolf says I’m coming with him, and he won’t take no for an answer.

Hm. Maybe getting kidnapped by a big, muscular orc who wants to marry me isn’t the worst thing that could happen. After he brings me back to his clanlands, I can find my sister and we can flee the Orc Realm together. No looking back.

But the first time Magnus kisses me, the whole world fades and I find myself yearning for his touch. I also find myself wondering if maybe, just maybe, escape isn’t the answer.

Ratings and reviews

This was a very good book. I liked Magnus and Lorna's story. There was a real sweetness to it and a huge amount of heart. This romance gave me plenty of feels and left me a bit swoony. I thought these two made a great couple and I became deeply invested in them and their HEA. A smart and engaging blend of drama, action, intense emotions, danger and adventure read easily and made a terrific way for me to get my read on. I am electing to post a forthright review.

Can an orc be whimsical? To be honest despite the fact that he can pretty much chop any enemy in two proving that his muscles are not just for show, Magnus is very much a dreamer. He believes that he has dreamt of his fates mate for most of his life and will not accept anyone else. His brother and cousin despair of him but he knows. A chance scream brings her right before him but the circumstances that they first meet under are less than ideal. Still he holds faith that she will recognise who he is to her and who she is to him. Lorna has been hanging on by a thread for a very long time. Her father sold her sister to a huge orc who threw a screaming Hilda over his shoulder and walked off with her. She has nursed her mother as best she could over the next three years until her death a week ago. To the last turning a blind eye to the beathings he gave his daughter. Now Lorna is done. She's leaving now, right now and she is off to save herself and her sister...

Touching! Lorna has been waiting for her mother to pass so she could escape her drunken father. As soon as her mother is buried she sneaks out in the middle of the night to go look for her sister, Hilda. Her father sold Hilda three years before to an Orc for drinking money. She is determined to find her and help her escape so they can be together. After a week on the road she is attacked by five highwaymen. She is sure she is going to die when they finish with her. But suddenly she is rescued by a huge Orc. Magnus has been dreaming of his fated mate since he was a boy. He never dreams he would find her in the middle of the forest being attacked. He quickly dispatches the five men but Lorna has run off into the forest. He has no trouble finding her but convincing her to trust him and that she is his mate is not quite so easy! Lorna is not so sure about being Magnus mate, but when she finds out he is heading home to the Orc Realm she agree’s to go with him so she can find her sister. The journey North is long and hard and fraught with danger, but Magnus does his best to protect her. As the journey lengthens Lorna is drawn closer and closer to Magnus. Can she really leave him when she finds her sister? A great book and Magnus will steal your heart! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
