buffyreads 's review for:
The Governess and the Orc
by Finley Fenn
Highlights:
I haven't read previous books in this series but I'm jumping in because it is one of the books on my diverse monster romance list!From the moment Geva and Rathgarr met I knew I was going to like this book. Their chemistry was insane and it only got better. The tension between them was so high! I love fake-dating trope and their banter.
Lowlights:
I hated how much Geva was basically begging and appeasing Rathgarr constantly. Even when she's standing up for herself she's still coddling him and his hot and cold emotions. Even when she's in the right she feels she's in the wrong somehow. It was so frustrating. There also was not nearly enough groveling for me. I love an "I'm sorry. I was wrong." but paired with an immediate reconciliation even before the apology is crazy. Like, have some pride and self-worth.
Horn Level: 5/5
