Claw Haven Only One for the Orc: A Cozy Fantasy Romance, (Paperback)

<strong>A local bookshop employee falls hard for her polar opposite--who just happens to be an orc--in the second installment of Isabelle Taylor's Claw Haven monster romance series, perfect for fans of <em>Legends &amp; Lattes</em> and Ruby Dixon.</strong><br><br>In Claw Haven, Alaska, monsters are real--but fated mates? Bookseller Vi Harper doesn't believe, and it's up to one smitten orc to prove otherwise in this sweet and spicy romance.<br><br>Vi Harper is good at many things. Fixing problems for everyone in Claw Haven, for one. Keeping Sweethelm Bookstore running smoothly, for another. Above all, Vi is <em>great</em> at pretending she's got her life figured out. The truth is, she's a hot mess inside--especially when cocky, gorgeous orc Nick Wicker goads her in his infuriating way.<br><br>Nick has found his mate. That's the good news. The bad: he's already blown it. Every time Nick speaks to soft-spoken, overworked bookseller Vi, she seems to hate him even more. What's a lovestruck orc to do but stress-bake and look for some way to redeem himself? Even it means joining the book club.<br><br>Then a batch of apology brownies sparks one passionate night together and suddenly, sensible Vi is doing something completely out of character: offering her one-time enemy a friends-with-benefits arrangement. It's more than Nick dreamed. Phenomenal. And it won't be enough. Not until he's found a way to show her that sometimes, fate gets it exactly right...<br><br><strong>Tropes: </strong><br><ul> <li>Fated mates/soul mates</li> <li>Rivals to lovers</li> <li>Bookish</li> <li>Opposites attract</li> <li>One night only</li></ul><br><br><strong>More from the Claw Haven series by Isabelle Taylor: </strong><br><ul> <li><em>Accidentally Wedded to a Werewolf</em> (book 1)</li> <li><em>Christmas with a Chimera </em>(book 2)</li> <li><em>Only One for the Orc</em> (book 3)</li> <li><em>Snowed In with an Incubus</em> (book 4)</li> <li><em>The Dragon's Fake Date</em> (book 5)</li></ul><br>
