"You will be trapped in stone forevermore, your beauty hidden by a façade so ugly that people will not like to look upon it. You will feel, but you will not be able to speak. You will hear, but you will not be able to communicate. You will endure across the ages, a silent witness to the decades that go by".

François Damont’s only crime was loving the son of a witch in a time when it wasn’t permitted. For that sin, he’s been cursed to spend eternity locked inside the body of a gargoyle. A chance to break the curse comes only once every 25 years, lasting for no longer than 28 days. He’s been unsuccessful for hundreds of years. Why would this time be any different?

History lecturer Daniel Smith is still reeling from a broken marriage when he stumbles across a mysterious man. Frankie might be hiding something, but the connection between them is too strong to ignore. Can he unlock the mystery before it’s too late?

Strange dreams. Dark forces. People who may not be what they seem. Time is not the only thing against them. And perhaps Daniel knows more than he thinks he does

A sweet MM paranormal romance featuring magic, witches, and a relationship that might just be able to endure anything.

I absolutely adored this sweet story about a gargoyle and his History teacher. The characters were wonderful and very well developed, the world building was great, the first person POVs really added depth to the story, and the magic just made everything come together.

I can't really say too much without spoilers, but there's so much I want to say! The love between François and Daniel is timeless. It's immediate and immense, and seems too much too soon. Both men have been hurt and are scared, but although obstacles are showing up often, they both hold tight to the hope and belief that this is the real thing.

With Daniel's love, devotion, and unfamiliar need to protect his lover, a veil is lifted, and François finally finds his very happiest of happily ever afters. I want to go on and on because apparently I'm a huge fangirl of this story, but I already feel I've said too much. But I absolutely loved the twist in their romance the most. I'll stop now.

This narrator is new to me, but I really enjoyed the performance. Reading the book was wonderful, and hearing it brought to life with the accents and emotions was a joy. The pacing and nuances are well done, and the characters have their own unique voices. Truly a pleasure!

I received a free copy of this audiobook and I am leaving my honest opinion.

Wonderful!

I loved this sweet fairytale. There’s everything to love for a dreamer like me. A forbidden love, a curse, witches and a love so pure that can break the spell. The story is so well written it would have been great on its own, but is even more masterfully performed by the very talented Jake Whaley, who really added magic to magic!

So lovely!

This was a new-to-me narrator telling a dark story by an author I like. He does a great job bringing the characters to life.
After a slow introduction to the characters, I was gripped by the tale of two lovers separated by hatred and dark magic. An excellent tale of cursed love. Highly recommended as there is a HEA to be found in the end.

Gargoyle in love

I enjoyed this story very much. It is a beautifully written tale of love, magic, curse and hope all intertwined and lasting through lifetimes. I liked all main and supporting characters, each had an interesting role to play, and I was on the edge of my seat following the unfolding of events, especially during last chapters. Narrator did a good job with the story, voices, and accents. Overall this was a perfect listening experience.

Beautiful Love Story
