Perfect for you if...

  • You love monster romance with genuine sweetness and banter, where the orc male is the vulnerable one doing the pursuing.
  • You're drawn to fish-out-of-water stories where a cynical city person finds home in an unexpected, quirky place.
  • You want steamy romance paired with cosy worldbuilding and humorous secondary characters like raven-meowing pets and weird livestock.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer dark, brooding paranormal romance without lighter comedic elements or cutesy animal antics.
  • You need paranormal worldbuilding logic to be internally consistent rather than intentionally absurdist and whimsical.
  • You're looking for plot-driven narrative over emotional pining and relationship development.

About this book

Gracie left her career as a reality TV star seeking a fresh start, but finds herself at Lonesome Creek, a Western-themed orc tourist destination that needs social media assistance. She navigates the quirky town—complete with pink ostrich-chickens and a raven that meows—while working to improve the brand's online presence. She grows close to Tark, an orc cowboy who manages the site's social media and bakes muffins. Tark recognizes Gracie as his fated mate from their first touch, though he struggles with his nervousness around her. As Gracie's job nears completion, both face the possibility that she will leave, forcing them to confront their deepening feelings. Wrangling the Orc Cowboy is the first book in the Brides of the Lonesome Creek Orcs series. It is a cozy monster romance featuring fated mates, pining, steamy content, size difference, and a contemporary orc setting.
