Ean: Bladebound Orcs

I am new to this author but was intrigued by the cover and book description. I’ll give most orc books a try. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I figured it would be entertaining at the very least because…orcs. Boy did I underestimate this book. It is in a similar vein as FF’s orc series but SO MUCH BETTER! There is gratuitous steamy sex without being demeaning or all encompassing. There is storyline, relationship and world building, character development, affection, respect, adoration…all the good things. I am so excited to read all the books in this series.

This is exactly what I want from an orc book. The spice is spicy and the orcs are exhibitionist. Cant wait for more!

This is a great story of cultural differences, language barriers, and self discovery with incredibly sweet characters. The way it all plays out in an orc underland is fun and quite imaginative.

I can't recommend this book enough! It has both plot and spice in equal parts. It's a longer book than I usually read for the cute little sappy romance that I'm in love with but it is amazing. It is a little heavy on plot but the attention to detail really gets you into the story and gets your imagination going wild! Read the TW's for sure because some things could make you a little uncomfortable. But this is by far my newest favorite Orc book

So very cute story, very good plot a lot of good character development, kinks that are not often found in other stories. It’s a perfect mix between smutty and story driven.

It's a really good read in the beginning of it. I was enjoying the shock, gasps and second embarrassment for Ean. The ending really didn't do it for me around 335 pages it started feeling rushed. Spoiler a little I would have rather she gathered all the orcs with her spitfire energy while she was already there instead of going back-and-forth. Fiona had her good moment and some other really questionable ones. I really did try to finish.

The characters were engaging and the progression of the story as more and more information was revealed was very well done! I started out pretty mad with certain characters and by mid book I was more just frustrated with the circumstances the characters faced. I was totally drawn in!

This had absolutely no right being as adorable as it was. I love that there was such a good story that was just as steamy as it was sweet. My only negative is that it ended. I want more! 😭

Loved this book Ean and thr Orcs were perfect and I'm glad the Highlanders came around. Can't wait to read the next book.

I found this book through a comment of the author on a Facebook page and I'm very glad I did!I enjoyed the well thought out plot and orc culture and can't wait for the next book!

I really liked this book. Great read, loved the plot. Was a easy read and I didn’t struggle through it. Would love if this became a series of books. This is similar to other orc books but still unique that it didn’t feel like I was reading the same story like some orc books.

I loved this book!Orcs are having a hard time surviving winters and raiding the villagers is their only way or surviving.A human highlander sick of the orcs raiding her village and leaving them starved decided to attack the dumbest looking one. By turning his own blade against him and drawing blood she proposes in the old ways and becomes his bladebound mate.She doesn't want to be his mate so he asks her to pretend for the clans and she agrees.I loved the world building and characters.I liked the conundrum of orcs need to raid to be strong to fight but their actions are killing the very ppl that they are meant to protect.I'll also add that orcs produce a very large amount of 💦

What a wonderful world and relationship to explore. I loved this book and can't wait for more.Sometimes the descriptions were a bit heavy handed and a bit too much info dumping. But Ean and Fiona more than made up for it.
