Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

He’ll do anything for his wounded warrior… even wooing him a widow. In a world of orcs and men, Lady Scall is a widow besieged — by her debts, her demons, and her dangerous lord neighbour. But time is running out, and she’s about to lose everything… Until the night an orc shows up in her chambers. Killik is a cold, cruel, condescending spy, and he wants nothing to do with Lady Scall… for himself. But he’s decided she’s the perfect woman for his clanmate. For Ulfarr, the Wolf of Clan Skai. And Ulfarr isn’t just any orc. He’s a huge, broken, brutal monster with a dark, deadly past… And Killik wants Lady Scall to help Ulfarr. To heal Ulfarr. To handle Ulfarr however she pleases… In return, Killik will solve all her problems — and he’ll teach her how to tend and tame an orc. And maybe, if she behaves, he’ll fulfill all her own deepest longings, too… But even a desperate, lonely widow shouldn’t risk such a scandalous affair, right? Especially when Ulfarr’s secrets are darker than she ever imagined, and Killik far more jealous than she knew… And a deal with two devils might draw more doom to her door… and her heart. _____________________ An angsty, full-length, enemies to lovers fantasy romance. Comes after The Beauty and the Orcs, but also reads as a standalone. Happily ever after guaranteed.

    The Widow and the Orcs is my favorite installment in the Orc Sworn series so far. What truly stands out in this book is the author’s brilliant portrayal of guilt, depression, and the long, painful journey of healing. The main character’s emotional depth is captured so well that her struggles feel incredibly raw and real. It’s rare to see mental health handled with such care in fantasy, and this aspect adds a powerful layer to the story.

    As always, Finley Fenn nails the relationship dynamics, crafting captivating banter and genuine emotional connections between the characters. The chemistry between the widow and her orc is perfect—intense, full of tension, yet tender where it counts. And let’s not forget the spice. The steamy moments are flawlessly written, adding to the connection rather than overshadowing it.

    If you’re looking for a romantasy with heart, emotional depth, and a healthy dose of spice, The Widow and the Orcs is a must-read!
