The mental geometry and spatial awareness that goes into writing such detailed scenes of passion is nothing short of impressive. Some weird moments of tension left me a little ?? But over all solid.

 Sorry friends, but I found this one highly disappointing. And there was so much going for it too - a poly monster romance with a body-positive FMC should not have left me feeling so bored and underwhelmed.

I have started reading more monster romance lately and I’m not sure if this is my love for the gargoyles show manifesting into a love of gargoyle smut but I’m not mad about it. This book was definitely more than the smut which I appreciated, the smut was amazing by the way. I loved the focus on the building of relationships, setting healthy boundaries, and healing from past traumas. I loved the dialogue around non traditional relationships, exploring ones sexuality and how intimacy can take many forms.  I couldn’t put this book down and it made me feel all the feels!

A great poly monster romance! Each love interest was well developed, and the spicy scenes were creative, hot, and full of consent. I was looking forward to reading this book for a while, and it did not disappoint!

Grace is a sweet heroine who has to work through her personal issues due to her hurtful family. She has been on some terrible dates and decides to go to the match maker at the bathhouse (the same from Stalked by the Kraken!). 

This is a MMMF relationship. I thought the relationship dynamics were interesting since the Gargoyles were all already established in they own polyamorous relationship before meeting Grace. 

If you see the trigger warnings, the villain in the story is responsible for the

stalking, vandalism, kidnapping, and body shaming.

. It's brief and not overwhelming.
