I listened to book 1 and wanted more. And this one was just as fun.

It is Xmas time and Maisie gets a temp job as a housekeeper. Working for a grumpy gargoyle named Grayson who spends all his time being stone and watching the city as he owns a security company.

But she will melt his stony heart.

It was sweet and very passionate too. They work close to each other and feelings are there. But he has ptsd, and she has her own issues. But they will work it out and live happily ever after. As much as a human and gargoyle can. I mean he can turn to flesh and not being all stone. Gotta love a monster story.

A fun holiday story.

I like the narrator. Her alphamale voices were pretty similar, but then this is mostly just Maisie and Grayson so that does not matter at all. She works for this story. A good pleasant voice

Can her sunshine melt his frozen heart this Christmas?

Gargoyle security guard Grayson Lightfoot never celebrates Christmas. It brings back too many bad memories. Besides he’s got a job to do—watching over Motham City 24/7 from his rooftop.

Maisie doesn’t celebrate Christmas either. Orphaned at an early age, she’s a sensible human with a mission—to earn enough money to open up a drop-in center for street kids in Motham. So naturally she jumps at a lucrative holiday contract to work as a housekeeper for Grayson.

Except Maisie hasn’t factored in what a total grinch Grayson is. And sure, he may be handsome, but when her cheery presence meets with stony silence and a granite stare, Maisie’s good nature is tested. But when Maisie suddenly gets sick and Grayson flies down from the roof to nurse her, she gets to see a very different side to the grumpy gargoyle.

As for Grayson… could Maisie be the Christmas gift he’s always secretly longed for?
