Gargoyles? Really? Oh, yes! From the author that made aliens sexy, we have Dez - one sexy Gargoyle!I am already so in love with this series! The lore is different and exciting.  Those granite statues hanging around were there to protect human from demons?  Love the way it plays right into reality and yet is filled with all kinds of fantasy.  Perfect urban fantasy.  The world is so perfectly woven between the lines of this short dip into the warden world.  I loved it.  I can't wait for more.Jasmine is a female warden.  It seems she's meant to procreate a dying breed and is very heavily guarded.  Home-schooled and never let out of the protection of a male, she dreams of freedom.  The freedom she used to feel with Dez - before he left.  Naturally, she's not very forgiving when he shows back up announcing his claim to mate her.  Yeah, she loves him but he left with no goodbye.  I love that she doesn't fall at his feet.  She stands up to him and the tradition of mating.  Oh course, I would never expect anything less than a strong girl from one of Jennifer's books.  Even though the culture is repressive, Jasmine doesn't just take it.  Loved that about her.Dez is one gorgeous gargoyle! A male warden, he has a duty to hunt demons.  But he loves Jasmine and will do whatever it takes to win her back after his unexplained disappearance.  Yeah, he has a good reason.  I thought as much from the beginning.  But you could tell from the way he treats Jas that he doesn't want anyone else, never has.  I love how he is with her.  He gives her what she wants  and he tempts her with his kisses but he never pushes her too far.  He respects her pain that he caused.  He will patiently fight to win her back.  I respect that and him.Of course, there is a taste of what is to come in the series too, in this quick read.  It always amazes me how well Jennifer can build a world, endure me to characters and tease me with what is to come in such a short book.  There is a reason she is my favorite author.This one is quick, brilliant and yummy! You will want it the day it comes out.  You will want the teaser of White Hot Kiss at the end.  You will fall for Gargoyles! If you love JLA, then get it.  If you've never read JAL, what the heck are you waiting for?  It's great urban fantasy or paranormal romanc
