Hard to Handle' by Christine
Warren is book 5 in the Gargoyles
series and wow it feels as fresh as if I was picking up and reading book 1. In
this book, it is the story of Michael Drummond and Ash.
In this book, we are introduced
to the first female Guardian/ gargoyle-- This book departs from
tradition, because in previous
books there were the male guardians to the female human Wardens but in this book, we have a female gargoyle
which is totally awesome. Ash looks and
acts like her Gargoyle brothers , she knows her what her sacred duty is but how can she proceed without a male Warden
to guide her? Ahh that is where Michael Drummond aka Drum comes in.
Drum is part of an Irish
family and they have certain talents or abilities. These abilities
have come in pretty useful to him and his family, including his sister. Drum
owns a bar , comes off at first as kind of a jerk but that is surface glance.
He is very protective of his family and a bit unsure where he fits in because
he doesn’t think he has any of their talents when he does, his hasn’t come thru
yet. Oh he will grow on you and his interaction with
this female Gargoyle is unique—Ash is fierce and independent –there is a
chemistry, a heat between them. He doesn’t know what to make of her but he is
interested in her. She has come to save the world and is ready for battle while
Drum is trying to figure out what is going on.
There is a bit more action in
this book than in previous books, in my opinion. There is also a lot more
sexual tension and humor between the MC. The action and romance is great and
while some spots did run slow, overall it was a good read. I loved Drum’s sister and I hope she gets her
own book soon. Overall, this was a solid Gargoyles read and I look forward to
the next in the series.
My rating: 4.5 stars ****
