2,5 stars rounded up

This was so smutty and pretty good, I was just rooting so hard for Jules the whole time.

Started off okay. The mythical lore with the Strange was interesting. But I think 40-30% towards the end it left a sour note in my mouth. Wanted to like it but yeah not for me.

I received this book as an ARC.

First off, thank you so much Jillian for writing the Gargoyles smut I didn't know I was needing my entire life. The crush I had on Goliath from the show was a secret shame until I heard about this book. I am absolutely in love with it.

First, the Characters - I ADORE Julianna. The sex worker rep is marvelous and I really appreciate the positive look at that. I also love her independence and drive to take care of herself and her problems. Even though she needs helps with things, she never is a damsel in distress type and I appreciate that even more when she decided to let Titan be her Daddy. It shows that her vulnerability is based on trust. Titan? THE DADDY WE ALL NEED. That's all I'll say on that. I also love the introduction into the Brotherhood and the other Strange. I have a feeling I will adore all their stories.

Secondly, the plot and world - amazing! I went into this for the smut but honestly, the lore building and action got me hooked. I am very much looking forward to delving into this conflict and world more and seeing how it progresses.

Thirdly, the smut - it was impeccable. Varied as well. Sweet, primal, kinky, loving, rough, gentle. So many things. All of it is sexy and well worth it!

I devoured this book so fast I loved it. I can’t wait to read more. It was steamy and sweet and I had no idea gargoyles could be so hot. Definite 5 star for me.

Okay I am honestly obsessed.

DID NOT FINISH

I did NOT like the FMC.

4.5 stars

I enjoyed the world and how it didn't only introduce only gargoyles but also other beings in the Strange community like witches and werewolves.

Titan needs to find something called keystone to him and his brothers and to find it he needed Julianna's help. She was looking for a sugar daddy, so she'd be able to pay her bills and her lawyer. I really liked how she always knew her worth and wanted to do things herself despite being sugar baby. It was also so refreshing to have a heroine who wanted things, like clothes and shoes without feeling guilty. She wasn't even afraid to ask large amounts of money. 

Their arrangement slowly turns into something more and despite Titan trying to think her as nothing more than meanings to an end, it clearly was more. He always saw her as his and wanted to give her anything she wanted. I loved how Julianna wasn't afraid of Titan after the shock went away.

All in all Titan was a surprising read because I didn't know what to expect when you mix gargoyles and sugar daddies. It was a slow burn but it didn't feel like one since I didn't have to wait forever for something to happen. 

Wowee!

Hot hot hot and so sweet?!?! I love monster romance and Jillian Graves fully served all of the butterflies and all of the spice a bibliophile could ask for!
