Synopsis (Goodreads):

I might be the orc’s mail-order bride, but I’ll be the one giving the orders around here!

Desperate and on the run from my arranged marriage to Bratva boss, Dmitri, I accept an offer to be a lonely orc’s mail-order bride. Now I’m alone in a foreign country and engaged to a monster, but that is better than the alternative. I just have to pretend long enough to get my green card and make my escape.

Only my new husband, Erik, makes me feel heard and cared for. He might be huge and hulky, but he’s also gentle and considerate even when I push him away. The more I get to know him, the more I realize I’ve underestimated him. After Dmitri, I vowed never to let another man touch me again. But Erik’s not a man. He’s a monster…

I find myself wanting to trust my orc husband, maybe even wanting to love him. How could I not when he’s eager to do everything I tell him and focuses only on my pleasure

But falling for him is dangerous. My brother and the Bratva have even more reach than I knew and staying in one spot would be a mistake. Can I find a way to make a safe new home with my monster husband?

Thoughts on Ordered by the Orc: Oh my goodness! Erik is a big, sweet, cinnamon roll of an orc and he wants nothing more than to find his special someone and just BELONG to them. It's adorable, really. Finding Inessa on the MD app and seeing she was specifically looking to be a mail-order bride doesn't faze him. He knows he likes her and he has very high hopes that they'll make an emotional connection and things will end up like he dreamed.

That said, Inessa is in a tough situation when she first meets Erik. She's on the run, assumed a new identity, and she wonders if she's safe. Being a mail-order bride is a means to an end and she doesn't really think about how Erik contracted with her in good faith and is desperately hoping they'll work. Let's just say that things were a little tense in the household at first. Inessa is on edge, Erik has boundless energy and good intentions, and they're not quite on the same page.

Then Inessa steps out of her comfort zone and soon the two are cozying up. Even more important, Inessa starts to open up. She doesn't tell Erik everything, but he begins to understand that her life wasn't all puppies and roses and takes that into consideration as their relationship progresses.

A little danger, an orc-ish family get-together, some mutual control play, a golden retriever of an orc with plenty of enthusiasm, and a lady who has a chance to remake herself into someone different. You know, once she deals with her past. *thumbs up*
