⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dad Bod Orc is a standalone paranormal / monster romance by Tana Stone and part of the Dad Bod Monster series by multiple authors.

Harlowe is so awesome! She’s a talented actress, who’s recently broken-up with her co-star ex and is now having troubles with the media and fans. Harlowe is strong, confident and so feisty. She’s such a wonderful woman and I loved her so, so much!

Roc is the owner of Orc Inc – a successful security agency that provides protection for the rich and famous. Not only is he absolutely gorgeous, but Roc’s one big, strong, dedicated, honorable, resourceful and fiercely protective male. And he’s so deliciously dominant. I couldn’t help but adore everything about this absolutely irresistible orc!

I absolutely loved everything that happened between Harlowe and Roc! No longer doing security himself, Roc’s been living in isolation, trying to avoid humans, until his best friend calls asking for a favor – for Roc to be the personal bodyguard of his step-daughter – a rising star actress who’s lately been having troubles. And imagine Harlowe’s surprise when her new bodyguard turned out to be none other than her teen crush, who she hasn’t seen for years! I adored Harlowe and Roc together! Their chemistry was fantastic right from the start. And I loved the tension, the antics and the fact that both were trying so hard to resist the undeniable attraction. But the more time they spent together, the more the attraction to each other grew. And did I mention they had to spend a night in a motel… with only one bed? Both have to consider a lot of consequences of being together, but what’s meant to be is meant to be. And when they couldn’t resist the undeniable need for one another, the passionate moments they shared were so hot! Harlowe and Roc were so perfect for each other and I couldn’t get enough of either of them.

Overall, if you’re looking for a quick, fun and naughty age-gap / bodyguard / Dad’s best friend / monster romance, Dad Bod Orc is the story for you! You’re going to absolutely love every page of it! I sure did!

More Quotes

“The reason I’m here is so you won’t have to deal with anyone bothering you.”
“What if having you around bothers me?”
“My presence is non-negotiable. I’m here at your father’s request to keep you safe. It would be helpful if you cooperated, but I will do my job regardless.”

“Why did it have to be him? Of all the bodyguards in the world – all the orcs in the world – why did my dad have to hire the one who’d been the stuff of my teenage fantasies?”

“Thank you.”
“For…?”
“Saving me. You covered my body with yours. You didn’t have to do that.”
“I did.”
“I’ve had bodyguards before, Roc. None of them would take a bullet for me.”
“I am not like them.”
“No, you aren’t.”

“I do not think you’re too young. Your age has nothing to do with this, Harlowe. When I fuck you, I want you to be completely sober. I want to know that you’ll remember every moan and every gasp as I fill you and stretch you until you think you can’t take it.”

“You should know, Harlowe, that when I fuck you, you will belong to me. Only me.”

“You make me feel things I’ve pushed deep inside for a long time. I’d convinced myself that being alone and protecting my heart was playing it safe, but when I’m with you I can’t play it safe. You scare me, Harlowe, because you make it impossible for me to protect my heart. You make it impossible for me not to feel.”

“I should warn you, now that we’ve found each other again, I have no intention of ever letting you go.”
“Good. I’d hate to have to chase you down again.”

Blurb

I needed a break. A break from the paparazzi, a break from my co-star ex, and a break from being the hottest new actress in Hollywood.

I did not need an orc bodyguard.

But my overprotective dad refuses to let me go on a location shoot without a security detail, and he’s picked the toughest, scariest bodyguard in LA to accompany me. Too bad Roc is also my dad’s friend and my teenage crush. This won’t be awkward at all.

There’s no doubt that Roc is huge and gorgeous and monstrously sexy, but he has the overprotective tendencies of a badass and the antisocial tendencies of an orc. Not always a great combo.

When we end up stranded in a crappy roadside motel with only the world’s cheesiest honeymoon suite available, there’s only one bed and too many mirrors. So much for my plan of avoiding the orc I’d thought I’d never see again.
