Gargoyles 1: Gargoyle’s Quest

Gargoyle’s Quest is the first book in the Gargoyles series from Nia Foxx.

Gargoyles, Protectors, are on the verge of extinction due to the inability to locate any Fledglings in society. Fledglings were all but wiped out years ago and it is unknown if any have survived. The Gargoyle Council has been working on a plan to try to ensure their survival and the future of their kind.

Fatima Smith, an Associate Professor in Mythology and Folklore and former Cellular Biologist, is scheduled to speak at a conference on Myths, Legends, and Folklore. Starting her speech with an audience attention grabbing statement, Fatima reels them all in, including a beautiful giant man that she cannot seem to keep her eyes and thoughts off of. She is taken back when he seeks her out for assistance.

Lorn De LaRue is a man on a desperate mission. He must preserve his future and that of his family. Attending a conference to see the infamous Fatima Smith, he is mesmerized with her beauty and thoughts. Approaching her for assistance, he is saddened to see she is not interested, but lucky for Lorn he does not back down easily. Ensuring she has no option but to help him, he sets his and the Council’s plans into motion.

Nia Foxx has written a tremendous story. Lorn and Fatima are both characters of strong will, driven to have what they want, and desperate to prove they are right. Lorn is an alpha male used to having it his way and has met his match with Fatima. Fatima will find herself engrossed in the opportunity that working with Lorn provides her. The instant chemistry between Lorn and Fatima is hot and only gets hotter as the story unfolds. The passion between them is heartfelt and erotic to say the least. Will Lorn have Fatima in all the ways he wants? Can Fatima come to understand what is truly being offered to her?

This story was a pleasure to read. I will definitely plan on reading each and every installment of this series to see how things evolve for Fatima, Lorn, the Gargoyles, and their mates. I would strongly recommend this book to others. Gargoyles 1: Gargoyle’s Quest offers readers erotic passion and humor in a paranormal fantasy world. Readers could only hope that if they had a Gargoyle of their own: it would be Lorn. He left me breathless with his enduring passion and feisty, dominant nature. Nia Foxx has created a wonderfully written first installment for a series; I am sure will only get better along the way. Nia Foxx has done a superb job and earned 5 Angels!
