About this listen
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.

Story
When my brother steals a treasure from a dragon’s precious hoard, I find myself facing down the monster sent to retrieve the locket. Mateo gives me three days to produce the stolen goods, or he’ll lock me in the dungeon and throw away the key. The catch? He’s not letting me out of his sight. What starts out as a hunt for my wayward brother ends up with me in the sights of a ruthless wizard. My manticore captor-turn-protector is more than the sum of his parts, and I soon realize I’m falling for him. But love means nothing if I can’t get out of this alive.

When my sister is chosen for the Monster Mate Hunt—an annual event where two women must sacrifice themselves to the orcs for the good of us all—I volunteer in her place. The orcs hunt me as I bolt through the forest. I'm captured by the gruff, growly Commander Jaus, who expects me to cook and clean, plus sleep in his quarters with him at night, despite insisting he doesn't want a mate. Then something changes, and his dark, brooding gaze turns my way . . .

Story
For my kind, to be without a mate is to be doomed. I know it is too late–all that awaits me is retirement and death, and I’ve embraced it. But when a suicide mission lands on my old boss’s desk, I’m the one he calls. Who better to tackle the mission in the deep, oppressive mines of my own ancestral homeland, if not an Arachnae already slated to die? And it’s not a rescue mission–he wants me to retrieve the corpse of a billionaire’s daughter kidnapped by a terrorist organization. Except our intel was wrong. She’s alive. Tortured and injured–but alive.

Story
I accidentally launched an escape pod on my miserable honeymoon—with me on it—and crash-landed in the middle of an alien jungle on a forbidden "emerging civilization" planet, breaking about a hundred Cosmic Syndicate laws. Oh, and I robbed a hot lizard guy with sexy black eyes, the most colorful scales I've ever seen, and a powerful prehensile tail that curls up like a cinnamon roll. Even though I can't understand anything he's saying, my new reptilian friend turns out to be as sweet as honey and spicier than the seasoning he used on the meat I stole from his camp.

Story
As a third daughter on the farming colony of Meterion, Susan’s future prospects aren’t too promising. A pretty face, top-notch skills, and hard work mean nothing if your dowry doesn’t include fertile lands. With her 25th birthday approaching, and no suitors, her only way out is to settle for an arranged marriage through the PMA - the Prime Mating Agency. She just never expected to be paired with a grumpy, massive lizardman, and above all not to grow so fond of his scales and quirky ways.

Scoring a job at the exclusive and secretive Hotel Castle Verna is exactly what I need to pay off my debt and avoid a punishment I might not survive. The guests are a little eccentric, but they are great tippers. All I have to do is ignore the strange sights, smells, and sounds coming from the guest rooms, and I can remain gainfully employed. Simple, right? Except there's one guest at the hotel who's always watching me with his mismatched black and white eyes.

Instead, I'm rescued from a fierce predator by a towering purple alien with a tail and color-changing tattoos who ignites strange feelings inside me.

Pawning my grandma's bracelet was supposed to be temporary—not contractually bind me to a breathtaking naga. Now I'm working off my debt at Sundar’s pawn shop, trying not to stare at his powerful tail, or imagine all the wicked ways he could pin me down with it... But Sundar isn’t just hard to resist—he’s impossible to read. One moment he’s cold-blooded and controlled. The next, his possessive instincts are wrapping tighter than his coiled tail. I know better than to fall for my boss. But the more time I spend under his golden gaze, the more I wonder...

The blue alien warrior pacing in his cage terrifies me. His long dark hair is wild and messy, and his scarred body looks made for murder. I deliver food to him every day, and I'm sure by the way he stares at me that he'd rather eat me. Yet there's something about him that captivates me, and I can't stop watching him. When he lets the snarling, fearsome mask slip, I start to see there's a cool calculation to his actions. I would be risking everything to help him escape, but do I dare let this monster free from his cage?

Story
After my ex announces his wedding to someone other than me, I'm eager to leave town. A new life and a new job are just what I need to restore my mojo. On the way to my destination, I overnight at a hotel where edible unmentionables and a tattooed orc construction worker rock my world. I sneak out the next morning, figuring I'll never see him again. Until I walk into my new job. That hot orc construction worker? He's my boss.

Narration type: Dual Narration
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.
“Aren’t you the bad boy Redrock brother?”
