My Fake Gargoyle Fiancé

So, this is rock bottom. Not only did I lose my job and my apartment, but now, an ultra-secret snow leopard shifter group wants me to marry a guy I never met and have babies to save our species. And they’re coming in three days to take me away.

Cue me getting smashed alone on a Thursday night. That is until the world’s sexiest, brooding stranger walks in, all sharp angles and hard lines. He’s massive and covered in muscles, and his mesmerizing green-gray eyes has my knees turning to jelly. In a moment of brilliance—or perhaps it was the gin and tonic—I ask him to marry me.

I wake up in Gunnar Redrock’s luxurious penthouse suite. It’s supposed to be a charade, but the line between fact and fiction gets blurrier the more time I spend with him. Our marriage may be a sham, but these feelings are the real deal.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, the only way forward might land me with a broken heart.

Rock and a Hard Place is a standalone paranormal romance full of sweet & steamy scenes with a protective bad-boy gargoyle. HEA guaranteed.

The heroine: Lillian - she is asian and living in Darlington, a town known for having a lot of monsters since the wall fell over two years ago. The wall was a magic spell which hid monsters in plain sight, making them look like humans. She has a very small amount of snow leopard shifter in her but is mostly human. She can make her claws grow enough to scare away unwanted male attention, but she wasn’t a monster by any means. In four days, she was supposed to marry a man she didn’t know, from another country no less. She was sure if she ran, the asian mafia gang of snow leopard shifters would come for her. The only way to get out of it would be if she was already married. She has no job, no home, and a huge amount of student loan debt.

The Hero: Gunner - he is one of the Redrock Brothers. They are gargoyles and owners of Redrock Security Agency. They do bodyguard work for monsters and humans, and they have all been alive for quite a long time. They are wealthy and live in the penthouse in an upscale building in Darlington.

The Story: Gunner and Lillian meet at the bar one night and have an immediate attraction to one another. Though Gunner decides to be a gentleman and ask her out rather than try to take he home that night. When Lillian leaves the bar, some guys follow her and try to abduct her. Gunner steps in and saves her when he sees that she isn’t going to shift and save herself. Lillian makes a joke that Gunner should just marry her and solve all her problems.

I liked the story about the asian mafia boss going after Lillian and there was a side storyline about some witches who were keeping a zoo of shifters, which was also pretty good. I really enjoyed this entire series, the books weren’t that long, but had good storylines and terrrific romances, not to mention the fantastic narration.

This audiobook was done in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Michelle Sparks and Troy Duran. They have done the narration on all the prior books in this series and have done a terrific job. Michelle has a soft, feminine voice and Troy has a deep, sexy voice. I have been listening to this series one after the other, and haven’t yet gotten sick of the narration, so that tells you something.

I love the series
