What happens when you win the town’s grumpiest orc?

Posy is brand new to Fairhaven Falls, but she’s determined to find her place in the charming small town—even if it means participating in an unusual bachelor auction. But she certainly doesn’t expect to end up bidding on the mysterious orc who everyone seems to avoid.

Varek has lived in the woods outside Fairhaven Falls for years, convinced he’s unwelcome among its residents. But when his meddling godmother ropes him into the bachelor auction, he reluctantly agrees—if only to get her off his back. Winning a blind date with an adorable little female wasn’t in his plans, nor was the undeniable spark between them.

As Posy and Varek navigate awkward dates, unexpected chemistry, and the secrets that keep Varek in the shadows, can Posy convince him that he’s not as unwanted as he believes? And can Varek show Posy that sometimes the biggest… hearts are found in the most unexpected places?

Welcome to Fairhaven Falls, where love isn’t just blind—it’s monstrous, magical, and utterly irresistible.

Each book in the Fairhaven Falls series can be read as a standalone. This sweet and steamy small town romance is intended for mature readers.

Honey Phillips

Honey Phillips is a USA Today bestselling author who’s mastered the art of combining steamy romance with thrilling science fiction. Her books are a thrilling ride through galaxies filled with alien warriors, fierce Earth women, and love that defies the stars. With her stories, readers are swept into universes where danger lurks, but passion always prevails, making her books a must-read for fans of intense romance with a sci-fi twist.

Honey’s passion for storytelling began early. At just five years old, she penned and illustrated her first book—a creation that, while brimming with imagination, lacked a certain polish in the art department. Thankfully, her writing skills have since evolved into a fine-tuned craft, while her drawing remains… well, let's just say, she prefers to leave that to others. Writing is her true calling, and she has spent years honing her craft, blending the excitement of sci-fi with the allure of romance in a way that captivates her readers.

Known for her Alien Abduction, Treasured by the Alien, and Seven Brides for Seven Alien Brothers series, Honey’s books are as much about fierce alien warriors as they are about the strong, relatable women who capture their hearts. Her stories are built on the thrilling premise of abductions and intergalactic invasions, but at their core, they’re about connection, love, and overcoming obstacles—whether they’re from another planet or the human heart.

Outside of her writing, Honey enjoys the simpler pleasures of life: reading, traveling, cooking, and, of course, savoring a glass of champagne—though not necessarily in that order. She’s a homebody at heart, but she dreams of visiting all seven continents. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll pet a squirrel or two along the way.

With each new release, Honey Phillips continues to captivate her growing fanbase. Whether you're a long-time reader or new to her work, her tales of passion, adventure, and the kind of romance that reaches across the stars will keep you turning pages well into the night. You can keep up with her latest books and musings by visiting her website or following her on Instagram.

If you’re looking for a wild ride with a satisfying, steamy ending, dive into Honey Phillips’ galaxy. You won’t be disappointed.

This is another fun addition to the Fairhaven Falls series as well as the Sweet Monsters Treats series. I really enjoyed getting to know Posy and Varek better in this story after their very brief introduction in Wedding for My Werewolf and thought they made a nice couple. It was also nice to see some of the characters from previous books in this series of connected standalone books. The epilogue was really cute and I am looking forward to reading Kiss for My Kraken: A Cozy Monster Romance and getting to know Sam and Nina better.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
