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.
