A rivals-to-lovers story with a heartfelt progression, even if their love started a little toxic, I found myself enjoying this book more than I expected to starting off! While the middle lulled a little, this is a quick read with some generally loveable characters who do truly love each other.

I love this series. It is so fun and sexy and monsters are everything. It ended in such an interesting open way that I few bereft and wishing I could have more of Bram and Grace! This book definitely had an interesting concept, Grace being a monster hunter, and when I realized the culprit of the traumas I was floored. Can’t wait for the next one!

The Gargoyle's Captive is the third book in the "A Deal With a Demon" series by Katee Robert. I liked this a little better than the second book, The Kraken's Sacrifice, but I didn't like this as much as the first book, The Dragon's Bride. 

There's too much trauma and drama in this erotica for me.

At one point the main female love interest, Grace, sets the Gargoyle on fire, and then she yells at him saying that he shouldn't pull such dangerous stunts. It was bizarre. Then there's the whole bit where we all find out that Grace's mother was the one that killed the Gargoyle's family that he's still mourning. Just too much drama and not enough sex.

The spice was okay, I'm giving this 3 chilies out out 5 chilies 🌶️🌶️🌶️ worth of spice. 

Overall, this was okay. It wasn't great and it's not something I'd read again, but it was alright. I'm giving it three stars. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really loved the first books of this series and was looking forward to reading this one, and it did not disappoint - read in one go. This is a really enjoyable, spicy monster romance, in the usual great to read style of Katee Robert. The story mirrors the others: Grace makes a deal with Azazel, she is picked by the leader of one of the demon territories, there is some initial problems and then they make up. 

The story here has a little bit of a darker turn, though it was relatively obvious that it was coming. 

Definitely recommended if you like Katee Robert, spicy romance, monster romance, or just a fun time reading.
