One growly orc. One curvy human woman. And a fated-mates bond neither of them saw coming.
Jasmine
I came to the mountain chasing wildlife and solitude. What I found instead was wild, dangerous… and impossible to resist.
When I’m injured and stranded in the forest, a massive orc rescues me. Drak lives alone, deep in the mountains, far from the human world. He’s gruff, growly, and built like a fantasy brought to life.
He says I don’t belong here. But when he looks at me like I’m already his—and touches me like claiming me is his right—I know I was made for him.
This mountain man monster doesn’t just want me. He needs me.
And I’m not walking away.
Saved by the Mountain Man Orc is a short and steamy monster-lite romance featuring a protective orc hero, a curvy girl human heroine, and a sizzling fated-mates bond. If you love spicy orc romance, size difference, forced proximity, quick reads with heat and heart, and possessive heroes who fall hard and fast, this bite-sized monster romance is for you. No cliffhangers. No cheating. HEA guaranteed.
High in the mist-shrouded peaks, where danger hums beneath the quiet of the forest, live the orc clans, untamed, powerful, and fiercely loyal. In this hidden world, strength is survival, but even the strongest hearts are not immune to love. Each story in The Men of Orc Mountain follows a new pairing between human women and the rugged, battle-worn orcs who never expected to find tenderness amid the wilderness.
What begins as wary encounters, between captor and captive, healer and warrior, stranger and protector, slowly transforms into something deeper. The series blends primal attraction with unexpected vulnerability, creating a world where love is both wild and grounding. These romances do not rely on perfection or fantasy ideals. Instead, they thrive on connection, respect, and the courage it takes to bridge two worlds that were never meant to meet.
The mountain itself feels alive, a constant presence shaping each story with its storms, shadows, and quiet moments of peace. Beneath its towering peaks, passion burns bright against the chill of isolation. Every book explores a different kind of bond, fierce, tender, and utterly human at its core, no matter how monstrous the setting may seem.
Perfect for readers drawn to steamy fantasy romance, slow-burning trust, and heroes with claws and hearts to match, this series captures the beauty in contrasts. It reminds us that love can bloom in the most unlikely places, even between the beasts we fear and the parts of ourselves we hide.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book
This was my first book by Pippa Rae Brook (AKA: Pippa Brook) and I really enjoyed this quick instalove orc romance. Drak & Jasmine made a nice couple and I was happy with how their story came together. I look forward to reading more about Drak's brothers and who they end up with as the series continues.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
