Blurb: Into the paranormal world: A wounded heart is not easily mended, requiring a soothing, patient hand.
Matthew Beakman’s life just got turned upside down. His brother, Marty, stumbled across something strange and fascinating and amazing! Gargoyles exist! Matthew wants to know everything about them. First, though, he wants to find the gargoyle that saved his brother’s life and thank him. Their people’s leader, Maelgwn, points out a blood-red, behemoth of a gargoyle named Vane, and then warns Matthew away from him. Never good at following orders—and because he can’t help but find himself intrigued by the huge creature across the room—Matthew tracks Vane down anyway. At first, he’s confused by the way his body responds every time Vane growls at him. Until a conversation with Logan, makes him suspect that he and Vane are mates. Unfortunately, he also learns Vane went through some extreme torture in the hands of humans. How can he convince the stubborn gargoyle that not all humans are the same?

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order. Charlie has always been one of my favorite authors and she has never written a book I did not love. This story is another one that is going into my library of favorites. She gives you characters that you will fall in love with. Ones that go through harsh, painful times and shows how they overcome all of those odds to turn into wonderful men who love with all their hearts. Vane is a gargoyle that has gone through hell to be saved by his clutch. He was found by a boy as an egg, and then when he hatched he was sold to freak show. Where he was tortured and caged. He didn’t trust humans until he meets his mate Matthew.
Matthew had learned about gargoyle’s when his brother met his mate. Now he finds out that the one who helped save his brother was also his very own mate. He had enough love in him to share with his mate. He wanted to heal his mate in ways that showed his love. Even when his mate leaves him to save some other shifters from the same fate he had lived, he goes against him and helps him save his friend. When you see them together, you want to do everything in you to cheer them on.
I love how this story is told. It shows the pain that Vane went through, the love that Matthew feels for Vane, the friendships of others, and how everyone is willing to jump in and help. It also shows two very hot and sexy men, amazing sex, and the fire each has for the other. I would recommend this story for anyone who loves shapeshifters, paranormal love stories, amazing characters, fantastic sex, and the way everyone can overcome all their anger and pain and the abilities to overcome all of it and turn it into blessings. I loved this story and cannot wait for the next book in this wonderful series.
