Taken by the Gargoyle King
My lab and research are my life until a ruthless royal swoops in to steal me for his own purposes.
Caitlyn
I was one of the lucky ones. That’s what I always thought. Abducted but embraced by the Aderians that fanned the flames of my passion as a scientist and a healer. I had a lab Earth-me couldn’t even dream of, and if it was a little lonely? What did it matter when I had my research.
Then he happens. Kal. A body like a rock, literally. Wings like a bat, horns, and a lion’s tail. He sweeps into my life in the dark of night and steals me like he has every right. His horns are like a crown on his proud head, proclaiming him a king.
His passion stirs my own, but I intend to fight him tooth and nail, and get out of this with my heart in one piece.

Reviews and Comments
This was another great book by Robin O'Connor and is part of a series collaboration involving several authors called Abducted by the Ruthless Royal. This book is about an Alien King named Kalzudaud or Kal for short and his human mate Caitlyn. I really enjoyed reading their story and thought the epilogue was a nice way of tying things up. It might be nice to revisit this world and some of the side characters in the future but if not it was a fun and quick story that I am glad I got to read. I look forward to reading more from this author as well as some of the other books from this series.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.
