BROOKLYN Smutty Book Club - Tusk Love by Thea Gaunzon

The book for August is recommended by Elizabeth - Tusk Love by Thea Gaunzon. It's about a magical D and D fantasy world. A girl is on a journey when her party is attacked. She rescues herself then an orc comes upon her. When he realizes he can’t leave her or she'll do something dumb and die, he puts off his journey to help her. Everywhere they go to there is only one bed. Elizabeth says it's adorable and the sexy parts are really good.

Back to Tusk Love. Here's what the publisher says:
. As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure.
. Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack.
. Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise.
. Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance.
