Gigi Rivers’ has such a captivating, warmhearted series with her Berry family of hearth and kitchen witches and their assorted otherworldly mates.  With every member finding their love at Christmas, during the same time period, it’s been a joy to watch the same events from the various family members perspectives.

Dragons, gargoyles, werewolves, cat shifters, and orcs! It’s all about love and acceptance in a large family that’s been through so much pain and sorrow, stayed together, and still has room and love in their lives and hearts for more.

Grady is the oldest of the Berry family. He’s the one who remembers, who was there when everything fell apart, and the one who held them together as a family and kept their family bakery from being sold.  The responsibility and the feeling that he is the guardian of them and everything that keeps them safe is pressing in on him as the stress of the years is getting to him. 

Looking down upon the Berry family activities, of their bakery and home, is Uzoth, the last of the gargoyles. Perched high over the town, he’s fascinated by this family, Grady in particular.

Rivers writes an emotional story of two guardians, one increasingly overwhelmed by his own family and his inability to step back from his past, and the other slowly becoming stone, because he’s without a mission, and family, having lost both long ago. 

How they come together at Christmas is a hard won, absolutely magical tale.  I loved it. And them. 

Grady’s struggles are so real, the pressures he puts on himself are so intense and relatable. And the loneliness that is Uzoth is heartbreaking. 

This is another marvelous story in a terrific series and Rivers intends to bring them all back next season. I can’t wait!

Pick them up and dive into a magical seasonal wonderland of Christmas markets, otherworldly beings in love, and magic!

Blurb 

An ancient gargoyle. A hearth witch baker. They’ve always looked after others. Is it time to look after themselves… and their hearts? 

Uzoth is the last of the gargoyles. He sits on rooftops as snow gathers on his wings. But Uzoth is used to the cold. He once had people to protect and brethren to stand beside, but that is all gone. Still, he continues his silent watch, wishing he had a purpose once again.

Strung-out and overworked, Grady is the eldest of ten children. Since his parent’s death, he’s dedicated himself to caring for his siblings and running the family bakery. He hasn’t had a moment for himself. Or for love.

One night, thieves attack Grady. Uzoth swoops in and rescues him. An unusual and tentative friendship forms between them. Soon, feelings and desires grow. Still, Grady has so much responsibility. Can he find time for a relationship with Uzoth? Or will he end up sacrificing a chance at love for the sake of others?

The Last Gargoyle’s Christmas Wish is a cosy fantasy romance with plenty spice. It features an ancient gargoyle, an older sibling who takes on too much responsibility, cosy Christmas vibes, inappropriate uses of a tail, and a guaranteed HEA.
