BLURB:
Into the Paranormal World: When a human ranch foreman hears a gargoyle claim him as his Fated mate, he isn’t certain even the paranormal can mend his trust button.
As a Native American, Stanley Redfeather has always believed there was more to the world than what the average person could see. Learning about gargoyles and other paranormals is almost anti-climactic. Doing his job working as the foreman of his boss’s massive cattle ranch continues as normal. Occasionally, having a bunch of gargoyles, vampires, and shifters around causes a little hiccup, especially when one of them finds their Fated mate, but for the most part, it’s business as usual.
That changes when a trio of gargoyles arrive for a meeting, and after one sniff, one of them—Kultrak—claims Stanley is his Fated mate. Stanley knows what that means. He’s supposed to be the other half of the gargoyle’s soul, bond with him, and build a centuries-long life with him. While Stanley wouldn’t mind having someone to share his solitary life with, he needs to know the gargoyle more than a day before trusting the male that they’re perfect for each other.
When Stanley gets injured, will Kultrak’s protectiveness in the face of the upcoming danger drive him away or draw him nearer?
REVIEW:
Stanley Redfeather is the foreman on a ranch that is owned by a human who is mated to a gargoyle, Elder Bodb. There are lots of other paranormals on the ranch as well: witches, shifters, vampires and lots of other gargoyles. There are some humans as well besides Stanley but they have all been sworn to secrecy. Stanley is happy with his job and his life – even if he’s maybe a bit lonely at times. He keeps to himself and has his nice cabin and a job he loves and is good at.
There is trouble in the paranormal world though and some Gargoyles come to the ranch for a meeting. Elder Gurrando and his two enforcers arrive and one, Kultrak, stares at Stanley and recognizes him as his mate when he scents him. This sort of freaks Stanley out as he’s seen people find mates and bond immediately. Stanley ahs been unlucky in the past and he’s not in any hurry to be tied to one person/being at all. Kultrak feels bad for shocking him and he wants to be patient.
Just as they are getting to know each other a little, Stanley is injured. He is laid up and on heavy duty pain meds, so things go slower – especially since Kultrak as an unmated gargoyle has to roost during the day. But eventually they get on the same page – much faster than Kultrak even expects to be honest. Just as they are getting it together, there is danger. And Kultrak will stop at nothing to protect Stanley. The same can be said for Stanley
I really liked this story of Kultrak and Stanley 🙂 Kultrak is so determined to not push Stanley. Stanley has been burned in the past, so he doesn’t trust easily and is reluctant to just jump in with with both feet to a new relationship. He realizes pretty quickly though that he is already feeling the pull and he does know that paranormals don’t cheat and will do everything to make their mates happy. Plus he really wants to be able to protect Kultrak as well and having their lives bonded will make him better able to do that. I’m anxious to see what will come next since it’s clear that there is something afoot with the gargoyles and a bad elder that is going to cause a lot of trouble. Stay tuned! If you’re a fan of this series, I think you will enjoy this one. Recommended.
