About this ebook

I ran to New York for a fresh start… and got captured by a monster instead.

One moment I'm planning my small-town wedding, the next I'm walking in on my baby sister with my fiancé. Betrayed by everyone I loved, I flee to New York City.

I'm finally finding my footing, then I'm stabbed in a dark alley, bleeding out on the dirty concrete, with no one coming to save me.

Until an ancient gargoyle snaps the neck of my attacker like a twig—and decides I'm his.

In one night I go from living paycheck to paycheck in my tiny studio apartment, to being showered in luxury by a creature who vows to fulfill my every desire.

I know I should be terrified of this vicious beast. But I'm addicted to his dark, possessive devotion, and every minute I spend with him makes me crave more.

His every word, every touch, pulls me deeper into his world. And now? I'll surrender to him completely.

If you love a instalove, curvy girl, fated mates, monster romance, with a morally grey gargoyle who falls first, fast, and hard, and loves to spoil his girl, you will be head over heels for this story! Please remember to read the Authors Note or visit my website for Content Warnings.

This instalove monster romance is adorable, but so short. I did enjoy that Sienna was strong enough to cut off the negative people in her life after betrayal - no dithering or second-guessing. I enjoyed the beast (Sol) and his protective instincts. The story just flew by too quick and I wanted more back story and plot.

This short story is dual POV, well written and edited, and fast-paced, steamy, fated mates contemporary fantasy romance between Sienna, the female human lead escaping to the city from her judgmental small town and unsupportive or downright treasonous family, and the male gargoyle lead created to keep demonic activity and possession under control who is unconvinced by the actions he has previously had to take. I empathised with Sienna’s acknowledgment of the reality of her family’s disregard.

AHHHHHHHHHHH This is such a wholesome HEA - the story hit home - the betrayal Sienna went through is very similar to something I myself have experienced and I felt so validated. I wish I had half the strength she did at that time - maybe my fate would be different - maybe I might have found my own hunky ancient creation that was bound to me. Such a good and sexy quick read - I am a fast reader but this is the perfect lunch time read and a beautiful pick me up - It's a great reminder to take the risk - follow your heart, wherever it leads - and that, yes, it is okay to protect your peace - even from family I received an advanced reader copy of this book
