Candy for My Orc Boss by Ava Ross

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A new life, a new job, a new Orc husband . . . Wait, isn’t he supposed to be my boss?

After my ex announces his wedding to someone other than me, I’m eager to leave town. A new life and a new job are just what I need to restore my mojo. 
On the way to my destination, I overnight at a hotel where edible unmentionables and a tattooed orc construction worker, rock my world. I sneak out the next morning, figuring I’ll never see him again.

Until I walk into my new job . . . And that hot Orc construction worker? He’s my boss!

He’s eager to continue where we left off. And those symbols on his wrists? According to Orc tradition, they mean we’re married!

The heroine: Chastity – when she finds out her ex is marrying someone else, she decides to move away, so she gets a job in another town and hits the road. Along the way, she stops at a hotel for the night and has a glass of wine in the hotel bar. She meets a gorgeous orc construction worker who happens to sit next to her and invited him to lick her edible underwear that she got for a gift from her best friend. A few of the other patrons stepped up for the offer, but she ended up hooking up with the orc and she had the best night of her life.

The Hero: Max – he is an orc and is the owner of his own construction company. He woke up from the best night of his life in a cold bed and had wanted to find out who the woman was, but the desk clerk was no help. He tried everything he could to find her, but couldn’t. He thought the universe would get them together again if they were meant to be.

The Story: Ever since mythical creatures became mainstream, Chastity had wondered what it would be like to be with one, and she was happy with her night with the orc. Though she was prim and proper in her real life so when she woke up the morning after her night with the orc, she snuck out of the hotel room while he slept without ever finding out his name. Two weeks later she arrives at her new job as the owner’s assistant at a construction company only to find out the sexy orc she slept with is her new boss.

I love the one-night stand is my new boss trope. It is a tried-and-true standard for a reason. It is always fun when the two meet up again. Especially when the Hero wanted more from the woman who snuck out on him. This was a short audiobook, at just over 4 hours. It was on audible plus or I wouldn’t have listened to it, since I refuse to pay money for anything less than 6 hours. Hopefully she will make some box-set type compilation with the rest of the books in this series, because I love monster romance and there are 10 audiobooks in this series that look good but range from 3 hours to nearly 5.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via duet narration and was narrated by Mason Lloyd and Felicity Munroe. I am very familiar with these two from the Ice Planet series and I really like them both. Mason has a perfect voice for alien and paranormal romance and Felicity is so expressive that you can’t help but like her. They do a great job on this book.
