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.

The Gargoyle's Captive is a thrilling and seductive paranormal romance that kept me on the edge of my seat. The intricate world building and passionate romance between the captivating gargoyle and his human captive make for an irresistible and addictive read.

My only complaint is structural: I wish it wasn’t a novella and had been longer. I could have read way more of Bram and Grace’s story - both in and outside the bedroom.
