Reading List for
February Meet Up

Bossed By The Orc by Saam King

Cleaning offices was far from Penelope’s dream job. But dreams don’t pay the bills, and if she wanted to save her family’s home, she needed money fast. Her grumpy, annoyingly sexy orc boss didn’t factor into her plans at all. Or so she kept telling herself…

Dristan was too busy running his empire to waste time on things like romance. Then he saw his pretty new employee and everything changed. He knows Penelope would be a perfect mate. Too bad wooing is not part of his skillset…

When danger finds its way to Penelope’s door, Dristan will do anything to protect her. But when all is said and done, will it be enough to convince her to take a shot at happily ever after? Or will their love story end before it ever truly begins?

Bossed By The Boggart by Wendi Guff

BOSSED BY A MONSTER—sounds overbearing, right? It is, and this guy’s not just any monster. He’s a Boggart—the literal being of nightmares—and I swear his sole mission in life is to make mine a bad dream come true. Every time I turn around, he’s there. Bedazzling me. Bewitching me. Befriending me.

But I won’t back down, not even when Mr. Ettin proposes a friendly little bet. Who cares what the stakes are—there’s no way my boss is gonna win. Except…he does. It’s more than just my pride that’s on the line—my heart is, too. But will Bash stick around when he finds out all my secrets, or am I just setting myself up for more misery?

This M/F monster romance features a non-op transgender woman. Her gender is not the focus of this story but it does shape her journey in finding love.

About The Wild Ride Book Club

The Wild Ride Book Club was created from the shared love of reading fantasy romance novels. This book club does not take itself too seriously, and its main goal is to bring people together to have fun, swap books, and read books with lots of spice!

When and where does the book club meet?
We meet the 1st Sunday of each month from 4pm - 6pm. Be sure to check the location, we like to bounce around the neighborhood establishments! This is not a knit group, and you do not need to know how to knit/crochet to join, but some of us might be doing so as we discuss!

What is Fantasy Romance?
Fantasy romance is any work of fiction with fantastical, magical, or non-human elements (not set in space, and not with a technology focus, as this would be classified as sci-fi), where there's a significant romantic element. This club focuses on the romantic element that includes lots of spice!
