Gargoyle Masters book one is the story of Orestes and
Astrid. Orestes is a gargoyle seventy years old and has
spent his entire life fighting for King Kadmos and his
realm. He was created to fight for the realm and knows
nothing else. Orestes does what he can to protect humans
but spends little time around them. Orestes has no use for
humans. Orestes hardly even pays attention to the servants
around the house because he is so busy with work, until one
day he sees Astrid serving dinner. When Orestes approaches
her she cringes in fear and Orestes and the other Gargoyles
don't understand why. Simon the man in charge of the
servants gets upset with Astrid and grabs her and drags her
outside to be whipped, when Orestes sees this he loses his
temper and takes her to his quarters to protect her. The
Gargoyles had no idea their servants were being treated so
poorly.
Quickly a bond that neither Orestes, Astrid, or any of the
other Gargoyles understands forms and they fall deeply in
love with each other. The only problem is the realm is
being attacked from unlikely sources and Astrid is
kidnapped by an evil wizard and one of their Gargoyle
brothers is missing. Now Orestes and the other Gargoyles
must work to save not only someone dear to one of theirs
but also perform their sworn duty and save their missing
brother.
BORN OF STONE is my first delve into a Gargoyle book and I
thoroughly enjoyed. The characters are easy to connect
with. There is plenty of action and the stories of the
other brothers are introduced and intertwined with this
one. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
Within a body strong as stone beats a heart ready for love. For seventy years, Orestes and his twelve gargoyle brothers have done their duty to protect King Kadmos’s realm. There’s only one annoyance in his life—humans. He’s content to leave them to their idol worship. Until he notices a small, frail woman serving at his table, doing her best to remain invisible. Something about her calls to him like no human before. Astrid is terrified. Not only of the powerful magical creature with inhuman strength, but of the staff overseer’s lash for calling attention to herself. Instead she is whisked away to paradise, bathed, fed, and made love to by Orestes as if she is his reason to live. But she isn’t naïve enough to believe she is anything more than a temporary diversion. When Orestes is called away to search for a missing brother, Astrid is kidnapped by a traitor intent on using her to bend Orestes to his will. Little do the lovers know that the connection between them is no weakness, but a strength their enemies would be fools to underestimate… Warning: This book contains paranormal fighting, steamy sex scenes, strong-willed females, and men made of stone who prove to be soft as butter in the right woman’s hands.
