Resisting the Wicked Orc - Book Review by Voodoo Bride

 

Resisting the Wicked Orc (Silvermist Mates #2)

by Chloe Graves

What is it about:

Fighting fate is the fastest way to get scorched.

Rava

While my brothers chase glory as elite mercenaries, I'm chasing freedom on an unsanctioned undercover mission. The stolen relic I'm hunting could break my betrothal—if an infuriatingly sexy orc would stop interfering with my plans and making my fire magic spark out of control.

I tell myself each kiss is just strategy, each touch merely distraction. But with my cover blown and hunters on my trail, the greatest threat to my escape isn't the prince I'm fleeing but the mate who makes me burn to stay.

Zral

I'm bored filling my nights with meaningless conquests while watching everyone around me find their perfect matches.

Then a defiant demon with fire in her eyes and lies on her lips drags me into her dangerous heist, only to betray me at every turn. Her reckless schemes leave me feeling more alive than ever before, and my need to claim her grows stronger each time she vanishes.

But behind her secrets lurks a royal monster who believes titles grant ownership. The cruel princeling will learn orcs don't surrender what belongs to them. Not for thrones or royal decrees.

Crowns shatter as easily as bones when standing between an orc and his mate.

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:

I liked this book better than the first two books in this series. 

Both story and the romance were interesting and enjoyable. I liked both Rava and Zral, and that's what was missing in the first two books: I just didn't really click with the main characters in those books.

Here I was invested in Rava and Zral finding love and getting out on top.

The chemistry between these two was really delicious, and I loved the steamy scenes (especially as nobody kept bringing up their family during them).

I will say that Vexing the Grumpy Orc is still my favorite, but Resisting the Wicked Orc was a very enjoyable read as well!

All in all a fun series, and I might investigate what other books Graves has written.

Why should you read it:

Sexy Wicked Orc!
