I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.Hard as a Rock"Gargoyles...guard," Cal ground out, his voice like a landslide. His knuckles cracked as his free hand snaked out to grab Kenneth around the throat."They do indeed." A little worried about the shade of purple Kenneth had turned, I reached out to pat Cal's arm.

I'd hate for you to get of his pulverized flesh under your fingernails."Iliona has her hands full with her ex-boyfriend showing up unannounced and going off the deep end.

They were freaking twins. The only difference I could see -- other than the dress sense -- was that the new guy was slightly broader in the shoulder and carried a vicious scar on one cheekbone. I recognized it. Someone had tried to take a chisel to him when he'd been in his stone form. Cal had one too, on his chest."Iliona thought she had her hands full with Cal, the gargoyle of her dreams. Imagine her surprise when Gran appeared and Cal wanted to share her with his brother. What's a girl to do? Why say yes, of course.Protect and ServiceI blinked as though just coming to and smiled as I stroked a finder down the open V of Jared's shirt. The slight hair on his chest tickled my fingers as I played with the button, threatening to pop it. His expression tightened at my coy look up through my lashes, feral heat flaring in his eyes."Eloise need a date and fast.
