Great!

Love this story between Larissa, a cop, and Roman, an unknown gargoyle. Both have protection for others foremost in their minds when demons come to Boston. No cliffhanger and a HEA. Can’t wait to read the books in this series.

great book

Larissa and Roman

This is the first book in a new series, which if this book is anything to go by is going to be a fun and enjoyable series.

Larissa is a cop who sometimes has a sense that something is going to happen before it does and she's usually right. She doesn't think that the Blood Moon is anything other than an unusual natural phenomenon. So on the evening of the Blood Moon, she and her best friend go out for a night of fun.

Roman is a gargoyle shifter he's the Commander of a team of Gargoyles who are stationed in Boston to protect the humans who live there. He has a feeling that something bad is going to happen during the Blood Moon, but what? His senses tell him that there is something different about Larissa but is she a threat or something else?

When these two meet the chemistry between them is palpable and the attraction mutual. But how will she react when she learns what he is or when he tells her what she is? Then the city comes under attack and she must accept and use her abilities to help Roman and his team save the city.

I liked both these characters, they were both strong, loyal and protective She's a strong woman and immensely protective. A wonderful paranormal romance, with plenty of tension in and out of the bedroom!

The narration of this book by Kieran Flitton and Bridget Bordeaux is so good adding a depth of feeling to this super enjoyable book.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

Opposites Attract

This is the first book in the Stone Sentries Trilogy, a paranormal romance/urban fantasy. Larissa and Roman’s forbidden romance is steamy, fast-paced, entertaining, and suspenseful. Larissa, a police officer, is smart and strong. Roman, a Gargoyle, and commander of the Stone Sentries, is handsome and protective. They are opposites attract. They share an instant attraction, and a sizzling hot chemistry. The world building is interesting and intricate. The supporting characters are intriguing. Kieran Flitton and Bridget Bordeaux did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to Enticed by the Gargoyle, the next book in the Series.

Great Paranormal Romance!

I enjoyed listening to this book. It kept my interest throughout the story. There’s enough “mystery” in the story to keep you wondering about Larissa’s denial and just what she can do. You will fall in love with Roman—even though he’s not sure what he’s sensing, he stays true to his protective nature. The narrators both do an excellent job in bringing this story to life—and I am anxiously awaiting book two in this great series! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

Sadly not for me.

Gah! This one is okay. I really struggled paying attention to the story. It is filled with action and suspense almost from the get go. Usually that appeals to me but the characters did nothing for me. I am a huge paranormal fan but I struggled with this one.

Awesome audiobook

This is a fantastic story, it is well written and well told. I enjoyed her writing style. Bridget Bordeaux & Kieran Flitton are awesome narrators. High recommend listening to this audiobook.

An Enticing Start To This PNR series

I found this to be an extremely enjoyable book and an enticing start to this series. It has a well developed story line and complex characters, this book quickly pulls you into this world and ensures that you are fully invested in the characters. This is a shifter series that offers a unique flair as the main focus is on gargoyle shifters. The hero and heroine, Roman and Larissa had amazing chemistry and for me I thought they matched perfectly. They had so many things in common but also some big differences, and for me that added a lot of depth and realism to their romance. In addition this PNR offers a solid cast of supporting characters, The story offers up plenty of drama, danger, intense emotions, action, suspense and a bit of heat. The narrators did an excellent job and I though their voices fit the characters well. As always I'm extremely appreciative of the dual narration.

New to me narrator in Kieran and I loved it!

Kieran Flitton is a new to me narrator and I loved his voice in this audio! It is the second audio I've listened to from Lisa Carlisle and Bridget Bordeaux. Bridget did much better on this one than the first one I listen to with her pacing and inflections. As with the other book, her accents were wonderful. I also loved Kieran's hint of an accent throughout. He has a great voice that lent itself very well to Roman and the gargoyle personality. Definitely looking forward to listening to more from him!
