Bitten by Love Reviews: 5 Hearts
“What more can I say? I loved this book and can’t wait for the rest of the series. Stone Guardian by Danielle Monsch did just what every romance reader prays a book will do… It let me escape into another world. If you are the type of reader that likes to immerse yourself in an author’s creation, you’ll find what you’re looking for in Stone Guardian.”
First Page to the Last: 5 Bookmarks
“I’ve read several of Danielle Monsch’s books, and loved them. When I saw this cover, I knew that I had to have it. There’s just something about it that really grabbed me… Stone Guardian pulled me in from the first page. It opens with on-the-edge-of-your-seat action, then barely gives you time to breathe as the story unfolded. It was great!”
Tome Tender: 4.5
“This story is a paranormal readers dream. The Great Collision brings all your favorite and slightly unknown supernaturals to the fore front. Danielle Monsch masterfully blends these supernaturals into a delightfully original storyline that you can really sink you teeth into. Who would of thought that a Gargoyle would be completely steam worthy alpha hero? Stone Guardian was a fabulously exciting, action packed romance that shouldn’t be missed.”
Bonkers about Books: 5 Stars
“A wonderful start to what looks like a great new series by Danielle Monsch. I loved the action and the romance, which were well balanced and gave a very satisfying read. The main characters were really good, but also the secondary characters were well developed and interesting so that I just know I will enjoy more stories from The Entwined Realms.”
Excerpt
| The creature set her on her feet again. She stepped back a few paces, gauging his reaction as she moved away.
He did not try to keep her near and let her roam as she wished. With the speed of the night’s events, Larissa hadn’t had the chance to study him. She took advantage of this quiet interlude to do so now. His wings appeared leathery, and though they were currently draped over his shoulders, she remembered the full wingspan well enough that she was sure it equaled his nearly seven feet in height. He had a tail, the tip of which currently rested beside his booted foot. He was thick with muscle, every part of his body defined. His arms seemed the size of support beams, his legs thick as oaks, and his clawed hands looked as if he could encircle her waist in them. Outside of the wings, tail, and claws that tipped his fingers, his features overall were almost human, just a little – more. A little sharper, a little harder, a little bigger. And almost…beautiful, in a rough-hewn, alien way. He called her a guest and hadn’t yet tried to harm her. She owed him an acknowledgment of what he had done for her. “Thank you for saving my life.” His eyes widened in surprise at her words, as if gratitude was the last thing he ever expected to receive. He inclined his head a fraction. “You are welcome,” he said in those deep tones that relaxed her against her will. “Your name is Terak?” “Yes.” “I assume from your conversation-” Larissa waved her hand toward the ceiling, “-with the others, you are the leader here?” “I am.” “So can you tell me what you are?” His head tilted as he studied her. “You do not know?” “I’m a human who lives in a human-only city. I know elves have pointy ears and dwarves are easy to trip over. Too much beyond that, I’m at a loss.” The question unsettled him, if the way he broke off from her gaze and stared into the blazing fire was any indication. “I am a gargoyle,” he said at last, tension in the rigid set of his shoulders. There was a time when Larissa had wanted to learn about the other races, before she realized why her father carried such stress at the mention of any creature that had appeared since the Great Collision and set aside any curiosity in favor of pleasing her father. She only knew the big ones – dwarves, elves, werewolves…vampires. Still, for the first time since she was little, Larissa wished she had read some books on the sly and spent a little more time learning about the new races. |
