Gargoyles are immovable statues of stone. Lifeless—until one of them saves her from the worst of fates.
Nancy is drowning in misery. Suffering under the weight of an abusive boyfriend, failing grades, and looming unemployment, the overwrought twenty-one-year-old librarian desperately confides her deepest, darkest secrets to the gargoyle perched near her desk. But she’s unprepared when the strange stone statue comes to life.
Treyton can’t believe it. In the past century that he’s been guarding the beloved Victorian library he calls home, the lonely gargoyle never had anyone notice him until now. And he’s enchanted by the beautiful woman yearning for true love under his watchful gaze. But the witch who gave him life poses a threat that could get Nancy killed.
Plunged into his mesmerizing world of dreams, Nancy can’t help but feel her heart being swept away. And though Treyton is smitten with the kindhearted librarian, his every move attracts the attention of his vile witch capable of dispatching both of them with a simple flick of her finger.
As malevolent forces plot against them, will they be torn apart forever, or are they strong enough to fight for a love as enduring as stone?
Stone Guardian is the captivating first novel in the Masonry, Magic, and Love paranormal romance series. If you like strong heroines, brave protectors, and impossible odds, then you’ll adore Gayle Katz’s spellbinding new adult gargoyle shifter romance.

My Review:
Nancy is a young woman who loves books and works in a Library. Nancy is having problems with her live-in boyfriend. In the opener, Nancy gets a call from the bank stating that her card has been charged with a rather large sum. Nancy knows right away what happened. Her boyfriend has taken her card without permission once again.
I loved it when she confronts him. She kicks him out of the house and then throws his things out the window. This tickled me pink. I could just see the whole thing playing out in my head and boy did I laugh. I was so proud of her. Nancy seems to be one tough cookie. She knows what she wants and she is not afraid to go after it.
Boyfriend problems are not the only thing bothering Nancy at the moment she is looking for another job as she is afraid that hers is about to play out. Oh, and let's not forget to mention the weird dreams she has been having lately.
Whenever she enters dreamland she goes to the same place every time. Well, maybe not the exact same place but at least the same town but it seems that there is a time difference of sorts.
Her dreams take her back to a time before the library was built. In dreamland, Nancy’s daydreams seem to come to life. Nancy dreams of meeting her one true love. Nancy falls deeper and deeper in love with the man of her dreams each night.
Stone Guardian is a magical, enthralling read filled with love and romance. The world-building was immaculately well done leaving everything to the imagination and so easy to see with my little mind's eye. I can just picture the little village, the stone water fountain and all the people and their clothing and the buildings. Oh, what a thrilling story that will leave your heart feeling all warm and cozy.
I can’t wait to read more in this new series Masonry, Magic, and Love. With that title, it leaves you wondering about what comes next. Who and what creatures are coming next and where is their story going to be? Masonry, Magic, and Love, how many new worlds could it contain? How many new and wonderful characters could there be?
So, so many questions are left unanswered. So many unanswered questions for this magical world of Stone Guardian as well. Some of the answers can be found between the pages of Stone Guardian. Grab your copy of Stone Guardian today for some of the answers and more!
