[Siren Classic Erotic Alternative Fantasy Romance, M/M, gargoyles, HEA] Journalist Preston Matthews wanted a human interest piece about a new monastery located on the bad side of New York City. What he found were buildings filled with helpful and hunky men. While touring, a captivating statue of a gargoyle and one friar in particular peaked his interest. Brother Clay relocated to the big city hoping to meet his aeternus. When Preston walks into his life out of the blue, Clay is too dumbstruck to act. He doesn't want to scare the man away and show his true gargoyle nature before explaining everything it entails. Sadly, like so many people in a crime riddled city, Preston is attacked. He has little hope that his best friend or he will survive. That is until the real version of the gargoyle from the church swoops down to rescue him and opens up a world of intrigue. ** A Siren Erotic Romance
This has so much potential! I really liked this book and it was a great intro for a new series. Gargoyles are a guilty pleasure of mine so I'm always excited to see a m/m with them in it. I really would like to see the back story of Hallam. He really intrigues my interest. He almost reminds me of a lost soul. Further more I've never seen a take on gargoyles quite like this book. I would like more explanation on the whole cycle since it is so different then from the usually rules. It was more of a glimpse here and there without a full concept. I can't wait for the next book!
I liked the story enough. To be truthful the plot developed way to fast and an instant romance between journalist Preston and brother Clay felt to chaotic and unrealistic. I'm rating it with 3 stars but it's not truly worth it, at least not the way it was written.
