Cruel dark fae bent on revenge. Ancient, power-hungry demons. Corrupt mages eager to swear fealty to the darkness…
Enemies lurk in every shadow, and they’ll stop at nothing to claim the one thing they believe stands in their way of world domination:
Me.
Add to that a series of deadly betrayals, a dangerous magic I can’t control, and a curse dooming the men I love to eternal damnation, and things aren’t looking too hot for the home team.
The clock is ticking, but despite the horrific odds, one truth remains unshakeable:
My gargoyles and I were meant to find one another.
And now that we have, nothing—not the Wintermoon fae, not the Prince of Hell, not the mages who’ve tortured me my entire life, and especially not some ruthless fae curse—will tear us apart.
That is… assuming the world doesn’t burn to ash around us.
Sarah Piper is a witchy, Tarot-card-slinging paranormal romance and urban fantasy author. Through her signature brew of dark magic, heart-pounding suspense, and steamy romance, Sarah promises a sexy, supernatural escape into a world where the magic is real, the monsters are sinfully hot, and the witches always get their magically-ever-afters.
Readers have dubbed her work “super sexy,” “imaginative and original,” “off-the-walls good,” and “delightfully wicked in the best ways,” a quote Sarah hopes will appear on her tombstone.
Originally from New York, Sarah now makes her home in northern Colorado with her husband (though that changes frequently) (the location, not the husband), where she spends her days sleeping like a vampire and her nights writing books, casting spells, gazing at the moon, playing with her ever-expanding collection of Tarot cards, binge-watching Supernatural (Team Dean!), and obsessing over the best way to brew a cup of tea.
The following ratings are out of 5: Romance: 💚🖤💙❤️ Heat/Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Story/Plot: 📕📗📙📘📔 World building: 🌏🌍🌎🌏🌍 Character development: 😠😚😁☺️ Narration: 🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙 Narration Type: Dual Narration
The heroine:Westlyn - she had always thought she was a witch without magic, but has recently found out that there seems to be much more to her origins than meets the eye. She is hiding from a powerful mage family that wants to bind her to a demon and may have had a hand in some terrible things that happened to her as a child. She is staying with the four gargoyles that saved her and she has a connection with each of them.
The Heroes:Jude, Augustine, Rook, Drae - They are gargoyles that run a criminal empire. They are stone by day and at night they use glamour to appear human. They have been cursed for thousands of years and nobody knows about them. The supernatural world thinks they are Fae, The Fae can see through the glamour to men with wings, horns and tails, but are sworn to secrecy. The curse was a combination of demon and dark Fae magic so will be hard to break.
The Story: Every time Westlyn and the guys find out something new about her, her background or why the Forsythe’s want her for with regards to the demon possessing Hunter Forsythe, all they are left with is more questions. It is like two steps forward and one step back or sometimes it is one step forward and two steps back. Though I have to say it keeps things mighty interesting. Also in between every step and sometimes during the steps, things get pretty darn steamy between Westlyn and one or more of her gargoyles.
In this book we get to find out what caused the gargoyles to get cursed. I won’t give away any spoilers about what happened but to say it was a good story and it involved humans and the Dark Fae. We know from this and other books, that they Fae can’t lie, but they are tricksters and always put some sort of loophole in any agreement they make. We also get more information about Drae which I really liked.
This book was told in multiple points of view via dual narration, and was narrated by Vanessa Edwin, Shane East, Aaron Shedlock, and Aiden Snow. This has been one of my favorite audiobook series so far, with such a great cast of narrators. The only thing that could have made it better would be if it were done in duet narration where every narrator does their own parts no matter whose point of view the chapter is in. Though I still give this 5 microphones for narration even with dual narration.
You see it coming, you know where it’s going to go- but still shatters! The story dives in more into West’s past, her connection with Drae, and finally connects with Rook! Hated the ending because leaves a question mark about the guys, but still hooked!
If you are expecting a magic twist or the main character to not be naive and learn her magic and something useful then this isn’t the book. Still utterly disappointed from book one setting me up for the utter drivel of two and three.
So much promise and falling on its face. One more book which honestly hope ends this utterly boring series. And I am hoping it ends with the characters demise to liven this up so I care.
5 flaming hot stars. I just updated my POLST form. It says you can revive me with CPR or just Shane East narrating in gargoyle voice. Caution: just like adenosine it’s gonna stop your heart and then turn it back on again. You’ve been warned.
I’m sorry but Draegan is a 1500 year old wining baby douche still sucking on his mamas T. And Westlyn is a walking dripping vagina. Have a dick and she will have zero self respect.
READERS CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH!
3 books? Really 3 books and a mature gargoyle man acts like a 12 yr old boy on the cusp of hormones and maturity. He is still doing this push pull taking his physical desires and then immediately rejecting her. 3 books people! 3!!!!!!!!!!! OVER AND OVER. And her? She is a DOORMAT! Her V is ruling the roost
This authors relationships are not for me. Her h take to Much shit from the heroes Me and her don’t mesh……
I don’t give a shit about any of the plot or RH harem after the author pushed her BS to far. I mean really I can’t read a h giving over her dripping V over and over then being rejected over and over without giving up and losing all hope and expectations. I mean… GROW A FUCKING BACKBONE
Bye bitch bye. We want men! Not emotionally castrated men! Fuck doormat h who have a dripping V and can’t think with their brains but think only about the pulsing between their legs. HES A DADDY DOM BUT HE HAS THE SIZE OF A GRAIN OF RICE DICK for all the courage this guy has. It’s just so annoying this far into the series and it’s killing any enjoyment I’m having otherwise.
PULLING HAIR OUT GUN TO THE HEAD SAVE THE WOLRD HE NEEDS CASTRATION STARS
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I devoured this book in one sitting, I could not put it down. I was so engrossed in the story and this has been my favorite in the series so far. It is nail biting suspense and incredibly steamy. I love the chemistry between West and her gargoyles is red-hot and I love how protective they are of one another. We find out more about these characters and the story is full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing.
The narration continues to blow me away. Vanessa Edwin is amazing as Westlyn, she is both sultry and makes you feel the emotions West is going through. Shane East is fantastic as both Jude and Drae. It is amazing the way he portrays both characters flawlessly and hits you with the emotions in this installment. Aiden Snow as great and I love how he brings out Auggie’s protectiveness of Westlyn. Aaron Shedlock does a great job at bringing the emotions in his performance as Rook. I love this cast and cannot wait for the conclusion of this story.
Absolutely devoured this book in two days! Sarah Piper has created characters that just stick with you. They’re all complex in their own ways. Glad we got to learn more about the guys past, especially Draegan.
Sarah Piper’s gargoyles are at it again in Wicked Devouring and I couldn’t love them more! The entire Claimed by Gargoyles series is unputdownable and I especially loved this third book. There are more shocking revelations about our gargoyles and their lovely witch, but my favorite revelations were about their feelings for each other. While the suspense is gripping, the depth of feeling is so strong that I teared up at more than one point in the story. There are curses, deadly betrayals, and dangerous magic that leave you on the edge of your seat, but there are also many moments of humor, intimate tenderness and downright spicy love scenes. Sarah’s writing is always captivating and filled with incredible worlds and interesting, multi-dimensional characters. You will love it all!
I listened to the audiobook and the portrayal of these characters by this talented cast of voice actors made the story even more compelling. Narrator Shane East had me hooked right off the bat as Jude was already up to no good in Chapter 1. He’s so deliciously bad and Shane is so deliciously good at bringing that out. Not only will you fall for Jude all over again, but your heart will melt for Draegan and all that he shares of his past. Shane also portrays Drae and does it with a wonderfully commanding voice that is completely different from that of Jude. Aiden Snow is great as smooth talking playboy Augustine who likes to cook and Aaron Shedlock is awesome as the nerdy spymaster Rook who likes to watch. (Can I just say how much I loved seeing Rook finally let go with Westlyn?! So very hot!) Last but certainly not least is Vanessa Edwin who brings West to life in the perfect way and shines as the feisty witch who is loved by all four of her super hot gargoyles. She effortlessly navigates all of West’s emotions, from fearful to fierce. The story is fantastic, the audio is incredible and the ending will leave you stunned and anxious for more!
This book has the plot coming along but it’s slow moving. There’s plenty of spicy scenes in almost every chapter. I started skipping several pages of it because it felt like the book was focusing more on the sex than it was on the plot. I enjoyed reading the multiple point of views. I love Jude’s character, he’s utterly obsessed with her, just as he was when he met her by chance in the park. Augustine, has fallen in love with her too, she likes to cook with him, and he loves to take care of her from feeding her to supporting her when he needs it. Rook is slowing starting to voice his love for her, he wanted it to be the perfect moment to kiss her but her nightmare near the beginning of this book had me screaming at him in my head. Kiss her idiot! You may never get another moment. It bugged me that she butted heads with Draegan often and still let him into her bed. He would go back to being a prick in denial. He’s in love with her too but is afraid to get to close since she’s only going to lose him in the end. We got to learn more about her background in this book. That scavenger hunt in the previous book, bore fruit. And not the kind they were wishing for either. This book took a dark turn at this point. It became clear that she is either the savior of this world, or the bringer of death. There is no positive side to this either or at least it’s not mentioned or thought about in this book. Which is part of the reason why I rated it only 3 stars. It was a very slow moving plot and once they learned the significance of her life, it went to catastrophic. I feel like there was something missing. It went from zero to infinity and beyond in a millisecond. Yes there was build up but it was to slow for this kind of revelation. I feel jipped as a reader, our female lead character has been through so much, soooo much in her life. The only bright spot is her new found family with Jude, Draegen, Augustine, Rook, and her Raven friends. No positive experiences other than meeting the guys, there wasn’t anything that balanced out the horrors of the story of her life. I need more of this in order for me to rate this book anything higher. I would have accepted a plan on how to stop Armageddon. Or even just talking about trying to make a plan. There wasn’t anything of that. Trying to decipher the codex to break the Grotesque’s curse. Nothing to save her. Other than keeping her safe from the shadow mages and the dark fae. I’ll read the next one because I need to see she has a happy ending but if this doesn’t end in book 4, I won’t be reading further.
Book 3 in the 4 book series. You need to read in order for the best impact as the story is continuous and progressive. Since this isn't the conclusion, there is a cliff but it's totally worth it.
We continue the story where the goals of our characters are to break the gargoyle curse and find out what is so special about Westlyn that the shadow mages are after her with such aggressive passion.
As with the previous installments, the more we learn, the more questions we have. Any answers we get lead us deeper into the void of uncertainty. But is such a seductive and addictive void.
I'm really excited to see where we go in the final installment.
The audiobook version of the story is performed in such perfect harmony. - Vanessa Edwin brings Westlyn to life with a full spectrum of emotions from fear to anger to passion, her views of and love for all her gargoyles is so tangible along with her fear for herself and what she learns through this journey of discovery. - Aiden Snow voices Augustine, chef, caretaker, support and backup. Aiden's voice is soothingly delicious in this one. Auggie keeps his calm at all time, but will get down and dirty in the best ways when West needs him to. - Aaron Shedlock portrays our naughty professor Rook who finally gets closer to the action in this installment. He's the spy master, he watches and sees everything finally coming in from the sidelines to take his friendship with West further into the realm of his dirty needs. - Shane East works double duty again as both Jude and Draegon. Jude is in deep where West is concerned, her safety and happiness are all he wants. He still goes to his usual psycho ends to achieve these goals, but his heart is always focused on her no matter what he's doing. Draegon is conflicted and we get some really deep emotions from him in this part of the story. We get more of the history of him and his men, how they became who and what they are and as much as I want to smack him upside the head, he's got a special spot in my heart. Shane plays them both so well with different accents and personalities but I love when he's in full on Daddy Drae mode getting growly and swearing... more please!!
I requested and was generously provided with an advance copy of the audiobook. I'm addicted to this world and these characters and I absolutely can't wait to find out what happens next.
I swear, every series by Sarah Piper just tops the last. Claimed by Gargoyles has been my favorite so far and I don't think the next/final book in this series will change my mind either. I fully expect to be blown away by the conclusion of Westlyn and her gargoyles' story. Wicked Devouring really made me incredibly excited to see how everything plays out with the prophecy and the gargoyles' curse. Seeing the massive amount of pieces of the puzzle clicked together, letting the reader and the characters know the reasoning about Westlyn's importance to the demons, fae, and the witches, has me wondering how hard this final battle is going to be. I'm sure everyone expected a broken down girl who didn't know how to control her powers and would simply submit to their wants, but I think Westlyn will give them a run for their money, especially with her gargoyles fighting by her side.
Speaking of her gargoyles, there were some long awaited moments with them in this book! We finally got to know more details about their pasts, how they came to be cursed by the dark fae, and how they are linked to the fae portals. Besides their history, there were also some much anticipated spicy scenes with not only Rook, but the group as a whole. The build up to all of this was well worth the wait!
I can't wait to see what happens after that cliffhanger we were left with. Prophecies can always be interpreted in different ways, and I'm hoping Westlyn finds her own way to make peace instead of the plans the fae and demons have for the future of earth--all those years of plotting and manipulating destroyed by a witch and her four gargoyles. Keep your fingers crossed!
Wicked Devouring is the third installment of the "Claimed by Gargoyles" series by Sarah Piper. This part of the story picks up right where book two's cliffhanger dropped us. There's more action, the spice level is kicked up a notch, and secrets are revealed. The suspense is top notch and will leave you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens next. The chemistry between Westlyn and her gargoyles is unique to each of them individually but is ready to set the pages on fire as they all fall head over heels for her. The push and pull between Daddy Drae and his "little mortal" is a crackling simmering burn that is just waiting to explode. Piper's third book in the series leaves her readers wanting more of this feisty witch and these sexy as hell badass protectors.
This book is narrated by Shane East, Vanessa Edwin, Aaron Shedlock, and Aiden Snow. *Hums with satisfaction* Shane East, this man is top notch as the still mysterious Draegon and the psychotic Jude. He flawlessly jumps between two different personalities. Vanessa Edwin is phenomenal as ever in the role of Westlyn. She puts so much emotion into her performance that you as the listener can feel everything that Westlyn is going through. We hear a lot more of Aaron Shedlock as Rook in this book as he works to find more about the Codex and finally opens more of himself to Westlyn. Finally, Aiden Snow perfectly brings out the protective side of Auggie. I can't wait for these four to bring these characters to life again in the next book.
I’m already imagining the wet, satisfying sound it’ll make when I embed the crowbar in Conrad Nesterman’s forehead. Ah, Connie. Also known as Full Metal Jacket. Soon to be known as He Whose Bashed-In Head Adorns the Front Porch Like a Rotting Pumpkin. Just in time for the Halloween season, too. Couldn’t have timed it better myself.
Wicked Devouring is the third book in the "Claimed by Gargoyles" series and picks up after the cliffhanger that ended the third book. I absolutely loved the start of this book; in my humble opinion there can never be too much Jude in one book, and this first chapter was a wonderful way to connect with the characters and storyline again. Jude is my absolute favorite gargoyle, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Rook as well. There is something to say about silent waters running deep within this monster-man...
We finally get some long awaited answers in this third book, and start to find out how everything is connected. Not everything comes as a surprise, with the hints we got in the first two books, but there are still enough twists to keep the storyline interesting. If you're mainly here for the spice, you won't be disappointed either. There is a pretty epic group scene involved...
Very curious to see how things will evolve in the next book; the cliffhanger is definitely promising.
I had read the Witch’s Monsters series by this author and loved it so I knew going in I wasn’t going to be disappointed most likely.
The FMC is Westlyn, who’s a witch with no powers, supposedly, and she’s been sold into marriage by her father to pay off his debts. Luckily for West she’s saved by our 4 super possessive, protective and all the other adjectives you need gargoyles.
I really liked West. Her story was really sad but to see her growth as a character was really inspiring. I also really liked seeing her relationships build with each of our guys.
These guys are amazing. It’s a tie for me on who’s my favorite. I really thought it was Jude, because psychos are always my favorite. But Rook…😍 he’s the spymaster and resident genius with a hidden spicy side. He gave Jude a run for his money. Augustine is our flirt and his devotion to her was just swoonworthy. Then you have Draegan…the broody leader. I was on the fence about him on and off. He’s so protective of her and he had these moments but he kept himself at arm’s length constantly. When you finally got his story it was this big ah ha moment.
This series was full of plot twists and spice and funny moments. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who loves a good paranormal romance.

Wicked Devouring is book 3 in this series that is so good it will melt your earbuds (or eReader). This story is so amazing and just keeps getting better! I listened in one session and then listened again to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Sarah Piper is a dirty-dirty filthy gargoyle smut genius! Even if you separate out all of the smexy awesomeness this book tells an excellent story that makes it that much more irresistible. Nothing is what it seems…Everything is happening at once. It’s thrilling, exciting, edgy, frustrating, steamy, and even funny. Jude, Draegon, Augustine, and Rook are so protective of Westlynn, but I love how they seem to be coming together again as a team as she discovers who she is. Beware of the excruciating cliffie that has me COUNTING DOWN to the next book, but it’s oh so worth it!!!
The performances take this thrilling series to the next level. The casting is pure magic. I am continually blown away by how brilliantly they all pull you into the story. Vanessa Edwin is amazing as Westlynn in her full transformation throughout the series so far - Such incredible range as she evolves from timid loaner to sex-positive Gargoyle-taming Goddess! Shane East’s performance of Jude and Drae is absolutely fantastic! They have such completely opposite personalities and very different accents, and you absolutely believe it is 2 different gargoyles. Aiden Snow brings Auggie to life with more depth in each book. Aaron Shedlock as Rook brings his geeky sexiness and deep concern to drag you into his orbit. Together they are delicious temptation and vicious protectors bringing a story to life so I am both excited to see how it ends and afraid for it to be over. More please!
ALC review- This book got me through through a very scary night with storms, howling winds and the whole house creaking for hours, it kept me distracted and entertained till the worst of the storm passed ! Unexpected plot twists, hot-poker sexy times, emotional conflict, agonizing revelations of the past and the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers!! Sarah Piper is a writing beast and every time i tell myself she has outdone herself and the new book is my favorite, she rolls out a new one even better! Shane East gets all the growling awards, seriously he should teach a college class Growling 101 because let me tell you, he made me fall in love with all things gargoyle. Daddy Drae, you are my forever favorite Daddy of all time but you need to get it together !!!! Westlyn is not here to play! The lovely Vanessa Edwin is magnificent. Soft,snarky, sweet, vicious and sassy as needed. My favorite kind of heroine, and boy does she handle the blows dealt to her one after the other like a champ! I NEED book 4 asap please ! That cliffie was cruel and unusual punishment but it hurt so good ! ❤️
*ALC Review* I voraciously devoured, pun fully intended, the third installment of Claimed By Gargoyles. Sarah once again left us with a huge cliffhanger after we learned so much more about Westlyn's powers and family. Which I SOOOO did not see coming! *shakes fist*
I am #TeamJude all the way and "Chaptuh One" made me snort laugh at the delight he takes in doing his job. He's one twisted gargoyle and I am here for it! I also loved that we got more Rook time and it was finally revealed what his proclivities are in the boudoir. The humor in book 3 definitely helped me face chapter 19. Drae utterly broke my heart and wrecked me. I sat and bawled at my desk. Be prepared with the tissues!
Shane East continues to blow my mind with how easily and effortlessly he can switch between several different characters and keep up the gut wrenching performances or keep us laughing with his impeccable comedic timing. Aaron Shedlock is my favorite nerd and Aiden Snow really needs his own narrated cookbook. *cough* Sarah, please? *cough* Vanessa Edwin is a unicorn! Her range is phenomenal and she's made me cry at least once in every book as as she brings Westlyn's character to life. From sultry to playful to tear your heart out emotional, she does it all!
I can't wait for book 4 and the conclusion of Claimed By Gargoyles! 💜🖤💜

Wild West (nickname) 🥺 With Rook’s deep voice when he says “tell me how it feels” all I could think was “to chew 5 gum” 💀
I Devoured This Book! The action, the spice, the angst, the drama…I could not put this book down. I’m obsessed with West and her gargoyles. These men are just something else. And we get to finally learn their story and it’s heart wrenching 😭. Ms Piper had me all over the place. Just when I think I have a handle on all the mens, Rook comes in and…now I’m melting 🫠. But oh Daddy Draegan still has me and West on a freaking roller coaster. Sometimes I wanted to throttle him and sometimes I wanted to “throttle” him 😏. And then Ms Piper goes and demolishes my book lover heart. I tell you I was screaming at my kindle and that cliff. Ahhhh!! I need to know what happens next. I wish someone would make this into a movie or series. It’s so amazing. Please read trigger warnings.
This series just keeps getting more intense. And hot...really hot! Jude, Augustine, Draegan, and Rook are very protective of their little witch. Amid all the darkness and treachery surrounding them, they've managed to form a family. West is just as protective of her gargoyles.
There are discoveries made, questions answered, surprises all around. And yes, there is a cliffy at the end, and OMG!
This is such an amazing series. Stories within stories, twists and turns you do and you don't suspect. Sarah is such a wonderful writer and I'm jealous of her imagination. I love seeing West coming into her own and witnessing her confidence grow. She's going to need to rely not only on her guys, but herself. I'm on pins and needles waiting to see what happens next!
Vanessa, Shane, Aaron, and Aiden are pure perfection w/their narration of this amazing story.
Wicked Devouring is the third book in the Claimed by the Gargoyle series. Must read Wicked Conjuring and Wicked Awakening first.
This is my favorite book in the series so far. Westlyn is becoming more powerful, not only physically but mentally too. I love the storyline. Just when you think you’ve figured things out, Sarah adds a twist you don’t see coming. I love these Gargoyles. Jude is so protective and hot. Auggie is supportive. Daddy Drae shows a crack of vulnerability. Rook is my favorite! He had a sweet side, and naughty. I love that he gets in on the spice. There was one chapter that set me on fire. Be sure to hydrate before reading/listening.
I got an earth copy of the audiobook. Shane East blows my mind as Jude and Drae. Aaron Shedlock is becoming one of my favorite narrators. He has such a calming tone, and I dig his accent as Rook.
Book 3 Wicked Devouring by Sarah Piper Sarah Piper is a rare writer. I actually do devour her cliffhanger books are usually I would avoid this type of book, but I just love them so much. I love all her serious. All the books audiobooks are absolutely amazing and cannot recommend highly enough. Book 3 is a great continuation of the gargoyles series. I absolutely love Shane East and the characters he does in this series, especially Jude, who is a psychotic killer essentially, and I just absolutely love him. I love his dedication to Weslyn and how he expresses his feelings in the most bizarre crazy way, but does fits so well. Absolute love the mixture of characters that her make up her gargoyles and cannot wait for the finale. You cannot asked for any better narrators like Shane East, Vanessa Edwin, Aaron Shedlock, and Aiden Snow.
If you saw my review of the second book, Wicked Awakening, then guess what- no strongly worded email to the author needed lol. I was very surprised- proven wrong in my assumptions of what each man would be like. I can't choose a favorite and there's only one book left. The author has made a perfect man- split into 4. She gives us a huge spoiler some chapters before the ending so I should have seen this coming- I have read plenty of fantasy books to know that this was going to happen- but I was still surprised. I was off by just a little. Can't really give more than that without spoilers so anyway.. 5 stars for my 5 besties: West, Jude, Rook, Draegan, and Augustine. I am NOT ready for book four because I have a bad feeling that there's going to be heartbreak and pain, and I have become attached to these characters. Here we go.
Wicked Devouring is the third book in the Claimed by Gargoyles and continues Westlyn and the Gargoyles story and their quest to uncover what links Westlyn and the Gargoyles quest to break their curse.
I absolutely loved this book. On the romance front there was a lot of backwards and forwards especially once the origins of the gargoyle curse were revealed. The book ended on yet another cliffhanger, again, one I didn’t see coming at all and I’m really excited to get started on the next book in the series. I absolutely loved the characters in this book, they are really likeable and I like how each new step forward in the story fleshes them out more and more.
Overall, this was another great read, with an addictive story and amazing characters. I would most definitely recommend giving it a read.
This book starts off with a bang with classic Jude, of course. As usual I was on the edge of my seat for this book. So much going on and you don't want to miss a thing! As things move along, Westlyn & her gargoyles stories get deeper and deeper. Toe-curling, hot as hell heat that had me blushing. Especially with Rook's POV in Chapter 13 and All of them in Chapter 17. In addition to the heat, there were lots of emotional parts and even great humor with these gargoyle jokesters. I just loved the performances of all of the narrators involved in this book. Every time I think the last time was amazing and then the next book comes out with Vanessa Edwin, Shane East, Aaron Shedlock and Aiden Snow showing us how talented they are.
Jude really saves this whole book for me. The story is entertaining sure, but the smut scenes just aren't doing it for me. Nothing gives me butterflies, nothing makes me LOVE these characters. I like them? But I'm more overall interested in the story and every time I get to the smut I'm like, uggggh you horn dogs get outta here WE HAVE THINGS TO DO. SECRETS TO DISCOVER. CLUES TO UNCOVER. Come on Scooby gang, let's hit it.
Which is a bit outta character for me. I am THE horn dog, with everything I read. Especially with why choose. What's better than a monster why choose romance? It's gotta be top three for me. But for some reason I'm not totally in love or smitten by them all together. Jude on the other hand? BABY BOY. The rest are hot, but that's all they are to me.
