I’ve always been fascinated by gargoyles, yet I think this is the first M/M gargoyle romance I’ve read (or listened to, in this case) and that has probably contributed to my addiction as well.
The fact that it’s just under two hours long makes it possible to listen to it daily, yet I’ve refrained from writing my review just so I had a semi-plausible excuse to listen to it again and again and again. There is something about the combination of the story that Calmes has penned and Tremblay’s narration that has resulted in me listening to it every day for a week, sometimes twice a day. I am absolutely addicted to this audiobook. I received a free copy of this audiobook to listen to and review for Wicked Reads. Ultimately I was thoroughly entertained by the audio, with Greg Tremblay giving another fantastic performance. Romanus felt a little unexplored, like there was so much more story to tell, but there's good news for readers as Mace and Luc's story continues in Chevalier. As with any Mary Calmes novella I find myself wanting more as soon as I get to the last page. Greg Tremblay showcases the confusion, wonder, and heat of the story all while drawing the listener in and wrapping them up creating this cocoon until the last seconds of the audio. An interesting paranormal romance, Mace finds the love of his life, learns he is a Romanus, that gargoyles are real and he can see their true forms, and that not everyone is happy for the Romanus to have been found. But events have now been set in motion, and Mace can't run from his man or his destiny. When things get a little more weird than Mace can explain away, even in his exhausted state, he quickly leaves and goes home.
When he ends up agreeing to stay the night, it's mainly because he meets Luc Toussaint and is intoxicated at first sight. Coming off a double shift, he's exhausted and the strange people and sights when he returns the old man home are just plain weird. *sighs* When firefighter Mason "Mace" James stops to help a naked old man on the side of the road one late night he doesn't expect his good Samaritan duty to change his life forever.
