Synopsis (Goodreads):
The Khargals are the creatures gargoyles are based on and...well, I like gargoyles, so it stands to reason I'm going to like these guys. They're proud and honorable and they've been stranded on Earth WAY too long.Enough years have passed that a lot of them are starting to believe they're never getting home, so the emergency beacon suddenly firing up is a kick in the pant for the lot of them.
Zaek is interesting. He's kept to himself quite a bit over the long years and he's not all that used to company anymore. He talks to himself. Heck, he ARGUES with himself. In a fun way, mind you. He's attracted to Mira, but he (a) knows his time on Earth is short and (b) unwittingly put her in terrible danger when he retrieved the beacon from the people she was working for.
In other words, things are going to be rough on her once he heads home. Very rough. As in, possibly dead.
And Mira gets that. She knows she's not in a good place. She's got the hots for an alien who's heading back to his planet and her own people want her dead. Not a great way to go out, man.
But they work it. They work it good.
There's a fair amount of stories still to read in this world. I'm ready.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
Zaek is losing hope after waiting centuries for rescue, but the time has finally arrived. The lost emergency beacon has fallen from orbit and gone active. All he needs to do to get off this damn planet named Earth is find it and get to the pick up location in time. The problem? The beacon comes with an addictively confounding, Earthian female who makes his mating gland swell, marking her as his true mate. Zaek hasn’t been around a human who didn’t run away screaming monster in a millennium, so how the hell is he supposed to convince this smart, beautiful, sarcastic female to give him the opportunity to win her heart before he loses his chance forever?Thoughts on Gravel and Grit: I'm kinda digging these shared world series. They're fun.
Mira has always been obsessed with all things alien, but when one breaks into her lab at Area 51, first contact doesn’t go how she planned. Kidnapped and running for her life with a gruff gargoyle that definitely isn’t made of stone and has more than his share of quirks, Mira learns that sometimes plans are made to be thrown out the window.
With a black ops team hot on their heels, determined to kill or capture them both, time is running out and their fumbling romance isn’t the only thing standing in their way to happiness.
