“There’s just something very endearing and admirable about all [Calmes’] main characters that you can’t help but love them.”

CHEVALIER is a Paranormal Romance from Mary Calmes that features gargoyles! Yes, gargoyles! I can only think of one other series that features gargoyles are their main supe but I have to say, this one caught my attention more.
And I think that’s all mainly due to Mary Calmes writing. Mason James is a fireman who looks to be quite normal at first. When he has a little accident at work, it forces him to take some time off. He has his boyfriend, Luc, who is pushing for them to make that next step in their relationship. This kind of scares Mason a little bit, but there is no doubt that he loves the guy immensely so he decides to ask Luc to move in with him.
Just when you think things are going well for the two, some people show up and tell him that he is the son of a comte and he is goji nobility. While it’s a lot to handle, Mason actually takes it in stride. That’s what I love about Calmes’ characters. She makes them seem so cool and effortless that you can’t help but fall into the story easily.
Once again, I was pulled into this story and falling in love with Mason and Luc right away. I honestly don’t think Calmes can write a character I hate. There’s just something very endearing and admirable about all her main characters that you can’t help but love them.
Although this is the second book in the series, I didn’t have any problems jumping into this story even though I didn’t read the first book. But after enjoying this book so much, I have no doubt that I’ll be returning to ROMANUS soon.

When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!
