“But you have just saved me from a group of men with ill intentions.”
“What if I did that so I could have you all to myself?” he asked as his voice grew darker.
Should I read in order?
You could because the series is about 3 sisters that marry monsters but it’s certainly not necessary.
Basic plot:
A gargoyle comes to collect his debt from the heroine...
Give this a try if you want:
- monster romance
- Regency-ish setting (like a historical fantasy vibe)
- gargoyle hero / human heroine
- marriage of convenience
- rags to riches
- child free HEA
- higher steam – 3 scenes in a very short story
Ages:
- heroine is 27, hero is 150
First line:
Men with ill intentions surrounded me.
My thoughts:
Another short and steamy read under my belt from Lilith Leana! This one features a Gargoyle hero and has some marriage of convenience elements I really loved.
I think this is my favorite of the series, which follows three sisters who all marry monsters. This had a lot of elements I tend to love in my regular historical romance reads, including a debt owed between the heroine’s family and the hero that ends in a marriage. Lots of fun with these mini romps!
Cock/Hero Stats:
- hero is a purple gargoyle
- claws, horns, and hooks on his wings
- his skin is cold to the touch
- hero does not sweat (mentions when the heroine is bathing)
Content warnings: (This should be taken as a minimum because I could have missed some!)
[
- scene of physical violence against the heroine (she is uninjured other than pain to her arm while punching a man)
- parental death
Locations of kisses/intimate scenes:
Pg 14 of 43 – brief wedding kiss
pg 19 of 43 – 🔥 kisses, her on top (v loss for heroine), hero teaches the heroine about self pleasure,
pg 29 of 43 - 🔥 on the desk oral for her, desk sex
pg 36 of 43 - 🔥 her on top
