Publisher's summary

Danger. Desire. And a forbidden attraction between a cop and shifter.

The eclipse of the red supermoon is coming. Humans hype the event as a night of passion. But, the gargoyles sense a threat.

Larissa, a police officer, wants nothing to do with the media-driven event pushing soulmates, but her friend convinces her they need a night out to move on. It will be their first night dancing since the attack. When they visit a Gothic-themed club, Larissa catches an attractive stranger watching her.

Roman, commander of the Stone Sentries, patrols from a Boston rooftop. When a blast of dark magic soars past him, he attributes it to a brunette. Something about her is different, demanding all senses be on high alert.

Is she dangerous? Or is she in danger? Roman tracks Larissa to find out...

Tempted by the Gargoyle is the first book in the Stone Sentries trilogy and is free of cliff-hangers. Perfect for fans of action-packed, steamy, and suspenseful paranormal and urban fantasy romance. Start listening to Larissa and Roman’s romance today!

Gargoyles and Much more

Larissa and Roman

I have read the series! What a surprise when I started listening and realized I HAD NOT read this one. A wonderful story.

Larissa, a cop recovering from living through The Boston Marathon Bombing where not only so many people were injured and killed but one was her best friend. If her friend is brave enough with her remaining scars can go out and wants Larissa to come out she'll do it. Even if it is on the night of the eclipse of the moon. Cops know even full moons seem to bring out the weirdos.

Little did she know just how weird it was gonna get. Starting with her reaction to a hot guy. Roman reacted just as strong and as a human guardian gargoyle, it was his excuse to get close--really close.

The two were going to have a long night with danger she could never have imagined.

The world-building is amazing. Love the characters and narration. Five stars all the way.

Gargoyles and Demons

Larissa meets Roman, the leader of the gargoyles in Boston. She finds that she is different but doesn't understand why. As she fights for her friend, she learns why from Roman. Will they be able to fight off the demons? Will Larissa be able to work with Roman ? Very good story...

Story is ok, performance is terrible

I have no idea why this book has two narrators. The man does a much better job than the woman. He should have been the only narrator. The female narrator sounds like a freshman dj at a college radio station - she’s cringeworthy and makes you want to change the channel.

The story was simple and cute. It was definitely hard to get into because of the bad narration. I still don’t understand why the demons attacked. It’s short enough you are probably better off trading it on kindle unlimited. But there are better books out there. Don’t waste your time.

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.

I loved it!

This was a wonderful novel. I thoroughly enjoyed it. When two very different people who are basically exactly the same find each other, it's awesome. The narrator's did a great job. Male and female which i do prefer. Correct enunciation, easy to understand language, and I always knew right where I was. Tone was great and so was excitement level.

Love This Book!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I had read this book about three years ago and loved it then, the audiobook did not disappoint!! Larissa is a Boston P.O. who has PTSD since her best friend Janie was injured in the Boston marathon bombing. Larissa can sometimes since when something is about to happen and she doesn't think that the Blood Moon is anything special and Janie insists they have a girls night out. Roman is a gargoyle shifter and he is the commander of the stone sentries and they protect the humans. He knew something was going to happen during the Blood Moon. When Roman and Larissa meet there is chemistry and attraction but both sense that something is wrong. Boston comes under attack, and Roman and Larissa must fight together to save the city. Narrators Kieran Flitton and Bridget Bordeaux does a great job with this story and the characters.

Larissa & Roman

Tempted by the Gargoyle is a delightful paranormal shapeshifter romance, with Gargoyle, Demons, witches, action, and adventure. What's not to like? The storyline and the characters are absolutely charming. Larissa Riley, a Cop and Roman, the Gargoyle Commander, have a powerful connection and sizzling chemistry.

Excellent narration by Kieran Flitton and Bridget Bordeaux. Both narrators portray the characters' personalities and emotions well, bringing them to life. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Enjoyable paranormal romance

This was an easy listen with complete story and happy ending. The interest started early and was maintained throughout the story with sufficient world building to feed the imagination, action and suspense and of course romance. The duel male/female narrator worked well and flowed easily adding to the story enjoyment.

Protect and serve

Lisa Carlisle you have made into a gargoyle fan. Let me explain, when reading books or watching movies the old gothic style, you see gargoyles on tops of old buildings, churches, etc., kind of ugly scary little guys, not big hunks of manliness! Well after listening to Kieran and Bridget tell us about Roman, (who is a gargoyle and head Stone security). You have added a new love to my list of favorite pn characters. Thank you for that can’t wait to listen to the rest of this trilogy.
