Ogres and other Dating Dilemmas

For readers who like size differences, awkward human heroes, cinnamon roll ogres, magic, mayhem, and happily ever afters.
Ever wanted an ogre to sweep you off your feet and show you what he can do with his big...hands?

Sean Lloyd has given up on finding love. It’s easier to concentrate on his work as a mytho biologist than figure out people. But that was easier to believe in his twenties.

So, when a human dances with him and looks at him without the deference or fear he is used to seeing, he seizes the opportunity.

While it’s only been a couple of weeks since Mason ended his engagement, and he had no plans of hooking up with anyone at the wedding, he has never been able to resist a man in uniform. Elves in their leather and knives are far too tempting.
