Synopsis (Goodreads):

Would you dance for a statue? What if he woke and claimed you?

I’ve got big dreams of a career on the stage. Unfortunately dreams don’t pay the bills. Working as an exotic dancer for a mysterious monster client sure beats being groped by some of the sleazy humans I’ve danced for.

Performing alone on a rooftop for a statue sounds strange, sure. Then the statue comes alive and turns into a huge, sweet protective gargoyle. My dance frees William from his rocky prison, but he tells me if I don’t stop, he’ll have no choice but to claim me forever. Beneath the rough, stony exterior, my powerful gargoyle mate has a tender heart. But he’s holding back.

How can I convince him he’s worthy? Will he still love me when he realizes how much trouble I am?

Thoughts on Given to the Gargoyle: Jessie picked up a gig through Monstrous Deals dancing in an empty theater. Which is a little odd, but she's willing to go for it because work is work. What she doesn't know is that a gargoyle is watching her and he's...interested. He doesn't think he deserves her, but he's still interested.

As it turns out, William's boss is the one who arranged the dance and he's determined to shake William out of the funk he's in. So when he sees William's interested, he arranges for a few more one on one dances for the big guy. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Who am I kidding? Things don't go that smoothly. William has baggage. He doesn't think he's good enough for Jessie. He can't bear the idea that she'd be tied to him if he claims her when he has nothing to his name. He's kind of a mess, but he's a smokin' hot, cinnamon roll of a mess and Jessie kind of digs that.

A human gig that takes a nasty turn, a sweet werewolf bartender who has the girls' backs, a growly gargoyle with a protective streak, and a lady who sees the sweetness beneath her gargoyle's stony exterior. *thumbs up* all around!
