Stopping to offer help one sultry summer night, Mason James is unprepared for the change that this simple act of kindness will bring. After giving an old man a ride home, Mason discovers a new, magical, and even dangerous world he cannot hope to understand. But he also finds Luc Toussaint and is intoxicated at first sight… and even the secret Luc protects won’t be enough to keep Mason away from the truth of his heritage and their love.
Greg Tremblay gives such good audio. *sighs*
When firefighter Mason “Mace” James stops to help a naked old man on the side of the road one late night he doesn’t expect his good Samaritan duty to change his life forever. Coming off a double shift, he’s exhausted and the strange people and sights when he returns the old man home are just plain weird. When he ends up agreeing to stay the night, it’s mainly because he meets Luc Toussaint and is intoxicated at first sight.
When things get a little more weird than Mace can explain away, even in his exhausted state, he quickly leaves and goes home. But events have now been set in motion, and Mace can’t run from his man or his destiny.
An interesting paranormal romance, Mace finds the love of his life, learns he is a Romanus, that gargoyles are real and he can see their true forms, and that not everyone is happy for the Romanus to have been found.
Greg Tremblay showcases the confusion, wonder, and heat of the story all while drawing the listener in and wrapping them up creating this cocoon until the last seconds of the audio.
As with any Mary Calmes novella I find myself wanting more as soon as I get to the last page. Romanus felt a little unexplored, like there was so much more story to tell, but there’s good news for readers as Mace and Luc’s story continues in Chevalier.
Ultimately I was thoroughly entertained by the audio, with Greg Tremblay giving another fantastic performance. Recommended.
