On the Care and Keeping of Orcs

Shades of Sanctuary, Book 2

By: Kass O'Shire

Narrated by: Zara Hampton-Brown, Frank Ryan

Stealing some horses from a magical fortress should be easy after raising twins and enduring two weeks with the orc that broke her heart.

Catrin's half-orc children are going through a difficult... growing phase. Since their orcish father left while she was pregnant, she doesn't know how to help. When Torsten, the first orc to break her heart, swaggers back into her life, he's got all the answers she needs.

Torsten has always regretted what happened with his best friend's sister when they were kids, but he had no choice. After fifteen years away, he's returned with no direction, no ties, and every reason to explore where they went wrong. A ridiculous horse heist might just be the perfect time to figure out what he wants in life… and it might involve an adorable rabbit-shifter and her orcish children. After all she's suffered, Catrin can't weather another heartbreak, but can she afford to miss out on a second chance at true love?

For fans of plus-sized heroines and golden retriever orcs, On the Care and Keeping of Orcs is the second standalone in the Shades of Sanctuary series, where the vibes are cozy, the heat is high and the mates are monstrous. Grab a cup of tea and snuggle in, because while there might be some angst along the way, the burn is fast, the stakes are low, and the HEA is only a few hours away!

Truly special with lots of sweet & spice!

I love Kass O'Shire's works but this will always be one of my favorites of them. They both struggle to trust their own feelings but the HEA is worth every worry. It's so cozy and cute as well. Also I love that O'Shire writes her books as if they are written by her first FMC and that they have footnotes included is the cutest library nerd thing ever!

Torsten is wonderful! Such a loveable character.

The characters we read very well. Now, I need to go back and listen to book 1!

Beautifully Written

The story is wonderful and very spicy. I enjoyed the story as a whole, but the small notes mixed within the story is a little jarring and kind of takes you out of the story.

Love it!

Torsten is an amazing MMC who is finally figuring out what home is to him, and Catrin is a fierce FMC who will do anything to save her loved ones grief. At a point I was like why must yall cause yourself such grief, but like with most they overcame it. I would give it a listen or a read if yall want.
Ps I love the way she wrote about the children and I believe yall will too!

Absolutely stunning performance of a really fun story!!

These narrators are Fantastic!!!!!! I really fall into a happy place as I listen to them narrate this story (one of my favorites). I would highly recommend these two!!!
