In a world of warring orcs and men, Lady Norr is condemned to a childless marriage, a cruel lord husband, and a life of genteel poverty—until the day her home is ransacked by a horde. Leading the charge is their hulking, deadly orc captain: the infamous Grimarr. Grimarr has a wicked plan for Lady Norr, and for ending this war once and for all. She’s going to become his captive, and the perfect snare for Lord Norr. There’s no possible escape, and soon Lady Norr is dragged off toward Orc Mountain in the powerful arms of her greatest enemy.

Story
Some people have monsters for a boss, but not everyone has an undead Necromancer Lord at the office. Lily has been the Lich's secretary ever since his evilness took over the company. She loves her job, but she's got some questions about her boss. Like what's under that cloak of ever-billowing. Her wondering intensifies when one day the Lich needs something from her that isn't just scheduling appointments—but a shiver. He needs it for a spell, but it feels like it crosses a line from their usual workplace banter.

Ophelia was born into a family of Hunters, tasked with protecting the humans from the creatures of the night who feast on their fear. Except Ophelia always found the idea of monsters kind of intriguing. She even made the grave sin of committing some X-rated monster thoughts to paper—which in hindsight may not have been the best idea because her parents were mortified—but you live and learn. Well, everyone finds out your secret, you get banished from society, and then you learn.

One heroic act damned me for eternity. With a name like Tor, I should have been a hero, just like my father and twin. Turns out I’m not. Not even close. Instead I’m the very thing we hunted. A depraved monster. I thought there was no escaping the curse. No hope for a future. And then I met my mate in the unlikeliest of places: Blackwood Asylum. A place for criminals. Power-hungry madmen. Supernatural outcasts. And her, the curvaceous writer who sees ghosts.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Publisher's Summary
A curvy librarian looking to start a family, a clan of gargoyles, and the deception that starts it all.
My family has always found me lacking. From the way I dress, how I look, to the type of magic I have. My family name is full of pomp and prestige, and I want nothing to do with it.
I’m a witch that knows how to set a goal and I have one in mind.
I want a real family.
Dating is a travesty. All the suitors I meet are looking for a connection to the family name I left behind. I need help.
Enter the matchmaker. It seems too good to be true that I can give her the list of traits I want in a partner and have my deepest desire answered, but I’m out of options.
Love comes along in the most unexpected ways.
From the very first moment I meet Elliot Bramblewick, I have hope. But he’s tricky.
I’m not expecting him to be hiding two other mates. Mates who are as alarmed and intrigued by my presence as I am by theirs.
He thinks I’m a perfect fit for them, but can I open my heart and discard my list long enough to see if this is the family I’m looking for?
None of my lists and plans prepared me for being courted by three gargoyles.
Deceived by the Gargoyles is a stand-alone monster romance in the same world as Stalked by the Kraken with multiple love interests who are in relationships with each other. There will be no choosing among the love interests.
Content Warning: This book includes breeding, knots, size difference, lying, and deception within an open relationship.

Very Spicy, Very good
I wouldn't consider myself a particular fan of "Monster Romances" but I do love a spicy book, and I like supernatural romances (á la Discovery of Witches). This Book had a lot in the plus column: likeable characters, interesting plot- more than most modern romances, and incredible sex scenes. Things I liked about it the most, was the author was not afraid to 1. give us something different- configurations of the MMMF romance dynamics, and 2. didn't shy away from them, 3. multiple characters POV.
I get bored with romances that "cut to black" implied sex. Lillian Lark doesn't do that, every scene is special and particular to the characters in it. Each of them having a unique personality, needs and desires. The MMMF probably does help the "not feeling stale" pieces of this by virtue of there being more players available, but it didn't feel cheap either, a lot of thought went into this! The dynamic of relationship and caring between all these players did really make me look at my own love and relationships a different way. And the multiple character POV allows you to get in touch with the family dynamics of everyone involved. Despite most romances being from the Woman's POV, I like when I can take a break from one person's hand wringing and get the other facet of a story.
Loved the story, didn't LOVE the narrator all the time. I thought the voice she gave to the heroine, Grace, kind of grated on me more than the voices she gave to other characters, for whatever reason. I can't explain it exactly. But it would NOT discourage me from purchasing and listening again.

Loved it all around!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have read the Tempting Monsters series by Kathryn Moon and loved it but haven’t really listened to or actually finished any monster romances that since then. Those books are darker and have more sexual scenes than this book but my point is that I was so happy to find another side to monster romance that I enjoyed! It was well written and I loved the characters. It was emotional and the spice was *chefs kiss*. I will be reading more from Lillian Lark. Definitely recommend the read!

Polyamory done right!
Lillian Lark knows how to do polyamory right! Each of the gargoyles was such a fully-fleshed, complex character with a deep love for each other as well as for the heroine. This book is filled with tender moments, sweet moments, hot moments, and just enough danger to amplify the tension. Best I've read from her yet!
