War Maiden: An Orc Romance

In this excellent fantasy romance, Dura, a fierce orc warrior, finds herself in an impossible situation when her fated mate turns out to be Marvik, the enemy soldier she swore to kill. After making the outrageous decision to save him instead of letting him die, they're forced to go on the run together, hiding from both armies while navigating their complicated feelings for each other.

What I absolutely loved about this book:
A female orc MC who's allowed both powerful and feminine
A complex male love interest with strong principles
Great tropes: Enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, one-bed scenario
Fast-paced plot with interesting political intrigue
Shows off both characters' fighting abilities without being gory
The spice scenes are both great and well-balanced with the plot
