Wynn Powe is a witch of earth magic descended from a
family of male Wardens and extremely powerful women
witches. Wynn has just returned to Chicago from helping
Fil. Her next step is doing what she does best, locating
another Guardian Statue. However the Order of Darkness
has beat her to the statue this time. In the Statue's
place is a crater filled with fragments of what use to be
a Guardian. Not soon after her arrival and discovery of
the destroyed statue, Wynn is attacked by the security
guard for the property of the estate. Just when Wynn
feels like she is going to die from this attack, she is
greeted with the appearance of the Guardian Knox.
Guardian Knox is summoned to replace a fallen brother
that has been destroyed. Magically awoken with the
skills and memories of his race, he is not bound to the
Warden who summoned him, the earth witch Wynn. Knox is
determined to get to the Order of Darkness before they
release one of the Seven. Hard part is figuring out what
their plans are. When Knox learns of Wynn's brother
Bran's disappearance he can not help but think they are
related, and the Guild has been infiltrated by the Order
of Darkness.
When the pair start looking into Bran's disappearance a
little closer, Wynn realizes that her brother has left
little clues around his place and even her place pointing
her in the right direction of not figuring not only his
disappearance but also what the Order of Darkness is
planning to do.
As the danger of the Order of Darkness gets closer, Wynn
struggles with the newly appointed position of Warden to
Knox. What they have been able to find out about the
unusual circumstances of the woman awaking the Guardians
is that the Guardians can only be awakened by their mate.
A title that does not sit well with Wynn. All her life
she has been looked over in favor of someone better.
Having always wanting to be a Warden, the Guild had
passed over her in favor for her brother because the
Wardens have mostly been male, and that has left a
lasting scar on Wynn. But in the short time they have
had together, Wynn finds herself wanting what Ella and
Fil have....a totally devoted mate to love and protect
her.
But now that she has pushed Knox away so many times, does
he still want her?
I absolutely love this series. The story line just keeps
building up to be better and better. The characters are
well written and paired with their perfect companion that
not only amplifies their strengths but brings out more in
the character itself. Christine Warren's HARD AS A ROCK
is book three in her exciting new Gargoyles series.
I have
been a long time fan of Christine Warren, and have never
been disappointed with a book from her. HARD AS A ROCK
in no exception. Although I read Heart of Stone (book
one), I didn't read Stone Cold Lover (book two) but was
still
able to follow along with HARD AS A ROCK. I do recommend
reading them in order, or at least reading Heart of Stone
first.
Wynn Powe comes from a long line of powerful women, and an
equally long line of
Wardens. Unfortunately, Wardens all over have gone missing
—her brother included—
just when the threat from the Order of Eternal Darkness
has begun to rise. Now
more than ever, humanity needs Guardians to stand between
them and the ultimate
evil, so Wynn has returned to Chicago to locate a Guardian
of her own. But the
Order of Eternal Darkness has beat her to the punch, and
the statue she’s come to
investigate has been blown to smithereens. An elusive
enemy is on her trail…and
this time, she’s on her own. It’s up to her, a woman with
no training as a Warden,
to summon a new Guardian to the fight.
HARD AS A ROCK
Enter Knox. He may be a newly summoned Guardian, but he
possesses all the skills
and memories of his race…along with drop-dead, expertly-
chiseled good looks. Bound
to Wynn as his Warden, Knox vows to learn the truth about
the destroyed Guardian—
and protect Wynn at all costs. But he never could have
imagined the fierce
attraction that has taken hold of him, body and soul. Is
his desire for Wynn worth
the risk of being destroyed by the Order? The only thing
he knows for sure is that
he won’t go down without a fight. Nor will he pass up a
night of pure blind
passion. . .
