Danielle
has always believed that there are souls in the stones she carves, so
it’s no
real surprise to her that the gargoyle that now shares her studio seems
so
alive and real. Still, that can’t be
true, and as time passes, Danielle wonders if she’s imagining things or
has
truly gone mad.
For six
hundred years, Grellix has never sought a lover or life-mate, content
with his
position as guardian and gargoyle. But
that was before Danielle, with her sensuality and innate understanding
of the
earth and stone. Now he yearns for her,
yet cannot explain the sacrifices she must make in order for them to be
together.
Ms. Bo’s Heart
of Stone is a very difficult book
to review. It is more than a mere
paranormal, having elements of shapeshifters and vampires in it. As such, you aren’t quite sure by which
standard you should review it. In the
end, Heart of Stone is in a
class all by itself. Grellix is a
uniquely sympathic character, his thoughts and feelings more real than
you
might expect. Danielle is spunky,
feisty, and wildly sexual. Together they
are explosive, so hot that you can’t believe it took them so long to
come
together. Ms. Bo ends the tale with
several hanging threads, leaving you impatient for the next book to
come.
