In the New Realms, love can be the most dangerous battle of all...
Terak has fought all enemies to claim Larissa. It doesn't matter his own Clan looks upon the union with misgivings. It doesn't matter her family see a monster when they see him.
It doesn't matter, because Larissa is his. 
And any who would try to take her away? They'll see what a Gargoyle will do to protect his mate.

*****

NOTE: Stone Embrace is not a complete story. It would best be described as an extended 30 page epilogue to the novel Stone Guardian. You'll probably have the most enjoyment reading this story if you have read Stone Guardian and already know the characters and world of the Entwined Realms series.

Thoughts:
An ALPHA Gargoyle with the Naughtiest Tail!

STONE EMBRACE by Danielle Monsch is a very quick read in Danielle's Entwined Realms series.  It's definitely not a standalone; The author states that clearly.  I do not recommend reading this story without reading STONE GUARDIAN first.  However, fans of STONE GUARDIAN should download and inhale this FREE read NOW!

This story opens as Terak and Larissa are having a meet-her-family dinner.  However, Larissa's Dad is not exactly greeting Terak with open arms.  Larissa's Dad UNEQUIVACABLY DETESTS those from the other realms.  Larissa has chosen her mate and she wants her Dad to also accept Terak.     But... both are posturing and neither are budging.  There's romance, some really HOT sex scenes and we get to deliciously delve further into Terak's alpha-male gargoyle nature.    OMG... is there another Terak out there for me?  I can't quit thinking about his sinfully wicked tail!

I just have to share some of my favorite quotes from STONE EMBRACE:
“Do I seem one who will not defend myself? You are her father, so I will make myself clear. Any who seek her harm I will kill. I will rip into them with claw and teeth and separate skin from bone from heart. An enemy, a friends, from within either of our Clans - it does not matter.” 

 “You may be some fearsome creature, but I'm her daddy. You hurt her, there aren't enough stone walls to keep me away from you and prevent me from mounting your head on a pike. You think you're a mean sonovabitch? Next to a father who's listening to his little girl cry, you're nothing more than pottery.” 

“He was gargoyle. Tonight, his mate would learn exactly what that meant.” 

A HUGE Thank You to the author for providing this free read to her fans!  Danielle's writing is TOP-NOTCH, as always.  If you are a fan, READ THIS!  If you're not, what are you waiting for?  Read STONE GUARDIAN and then immediately read STONE EMBRACE!  If you love paranormal romances, you'll be hooked!
