I just love Charlie Richards' gargoyle stories and this one was one of the best I think. There was a nice balance of tension and attraction between the two fated mates, a mate dealing with a serious personal issue and a good action-packed scene followed by a tender moment within the Gargoyle clutch that showed a family moment. It just had so much good stuff.This particular series should probably be read in sequential order particularly as this book immediately follows up on the tail of the one before it.The story opens when Roland a lynx shifter wakes up after being freed from the carnival by the gargoyles particularly his friend Vane who promised to come back for him. Roland has been in captivity for twenty-five years old since he was fifteen and he is terrified of everything including the taste of freedom because it has been so long since he had it. This pales with the shocking announcement by one of the gargoyles that he is the guy's mate. He can't be anyone's mate.Tobias is stunned to discover his mate is one of the recently freed shifters. His scrawny little mate is terrified of him and then announces that he can't be his mate before ducking into the next room to hide. Tobias has found his mate who needs some convincing and TLC. The hot-tempered gargoyle will do what it takes to take care of his mate.Slowly the two work through things, but then the unexpected happens and danger comes to the clutch.I enjoyed the story thoroughly and look forward to the next installment because things get left on an interesting note even if the romance gets wrapped up nicely and dear Cornelius presents Einan with their newly hatched egg. Too cute!
