HBs!!!! We're back for [art 2 of THE GOVERNESS AND THE ORC by Finley Fenn, the 7th book in the Orc Sworn series.

Sometimes even the daintiest of ladies snore and their partner might benefit from a good night of sleep. There's no shame in it! Sabrina: Adding a protein shake to coffee as the creamer to make sure you're packing in some macronutrients. Want to support the show? Rate and review us on your favorite podcast app!
