A hot-blooded gargoyle, Zahlee knows that Steele, her gargoyle lover and leader of the Triskellon clan, is her perfect match in every way. But she burns for just one more touch from Saul, the human lover she left behind so many years ago. The same human she entrusted to raise and care for her son, Pascal--to keep him safe from the dangers of the gargoyle lifestyle. Steele banishes Zahlee from the Triskellon clan and forces her to return to Saul and extinguish all yearning for her mortal ex. She quickly discovers a renewed lust for the only man she has ever loved. Their chemistry cannot be denied and combusts into a raging wildfire she never wants to end. Zahlee yearns for happiness with her son and her human lover. A gargoyle must sacrifice much to live in the human world, but is she willing to give up everything for their love?
I’m an award winning author who loves to write scorching hot contemporary and science fiction romance—stories I love to read. I love working from home, where my office window looks out over our ‘block’ of fourteen acres with gorgeous mountain views. After enjoying a stint as a foster carer for cats, I now have seven felines to entertain me, along with two dogs and two horses. But only when I’m not distracted by my three gorgeous daughters, one of whom—a teenager *shriek*—is still living at home. As for my husband…he’s still waiting for retirement.

Red-Hot Lover is about something that I used to fantasize about when I was growing up.
Zahlee finds out what she really wants, can she be herself and be free as a gargoyle, or give it up to be with the human she loves? Maybe she can have it both.
Saul is a man who has waited years for Zahlee to come back to him. He used to be a bad man always dealing deals because he owns a casino. When Zahlee comes back she finds a changed man.
While I was reading this book I was taken back to where I used to dream that I was in love with a gargoyle. That’s so crazy when I look back on it now. I loved how the author made the gargoyles no different from humans. Everything looks the same just their spines are bigger and they have wings when they are gargoyles.
I saw gargoyles in a different light and not as the world takes them to be. I loved that Zahlee and Saul made the best of both worlds. Yes they had to make sacrifices. Nothing ever happens the way we plan but when life gives back to us what we wanted. We learn to forgive and not always forget. Love is worth having so we make the most of what we are givin because no one is promised tomorrow.
I enjoyed watching Zahlee and Saul fall in love again. Although Zahlee had to trust in humans again and trust Saul with the biggest secret of all. I have fell in love with gargoyles again and I hate that I started with the third book in the series. I know that I’ve missed a lot.
So with that I’m going to leave and brush up more on gargoyles. Maybe I can relive the fantasies I had as a child.
I got this book from the author for an honest review.
This book is a great way to end the series (I don't know if that is the case but if so everything is tied up nice and neatly). However, there is also more that could be done with the series if the author should choose too.
This book was kinda of emotional. Zee is Pascal's mother from book 2. She finally tells us, the reader, why she left Saul and Pascal. She is told by her Gargoyle pack leader/lover Steele to go and be with Saul until he dies. When he is out of her system she can return to the pack and her son. Yes it seems Pascal has found his mother and her pack. She is sad to leave her son AGAIN without seeing him but very happy to return to Saul.
When she returns he is very happy and does he ever show it...in every way he can. The two make up for lost time and profess their love all the while Saul fears she will leave again. The ending of the story is a nice plot twist and I did end up feeling a bit sad for Steele but happy for HEA Zee finally receives.
A great conclusion to the series with Red-Hot Lover. Zahlee is a gargoyle and is banished from the clan. She returns to her mortal ex-lover, who raised her son. Saul is dubious about her love but accepts her love anyway.
A story of love, lust, trust and betrayal. It is heart-breaking in places and of course there is Sizzle with a capital S. Saul will do anything to give Zahlee what she wants and is a changed man because of his love for her and her son.
