Synopsis

Lady Iolanthe of Rockmourn Keep expects to be a spinster all her days. She is very tall. She is very poor. And she is thirty. What lord could possibly want her?

But then her father returns with news that he has found a bridegroom for her—one that is impressively tall. One that is strong, and bold, and wealthy. And best of all? He wants Iolanthe. It seems too good to be true.

And when Iolanthe gets her first look at her husband-to-be, she realizes why.

No one mentioned the 'orc' part of things . . .

Contains mature themes.

**4/5 stars** Not really what I was expecting but very much something that I loved to read. Iolanthe is a spinster who always dreamed to be graceful and dainty like her mother and younger sisters, but grew up to be tall and strong like her father's people. Even with her sweet personality, her feminin......more
