My name is Ace Bissett, and I’m a paranormal detective that doesn’t believe in magic. Or at least, I didn’t before I met them. The day I inherited my aunt’s old house, everything changed. One moment, I was convinced that magic was a hoax. The next, I’m surrounded by four winged, fanged, ridiculously hot guys who are definitely not human, and who insist that I’m the only one who can break the … the only one who can break the curse that binds them to the night.
I know I should run far, far away from this hot mess, but there’s a connection between us I can’t deny. I’m seeing things I can’t explain, feeling things that don’t make sense. The detective in me has never been able to resist a mystery, and this one is just begging me to dig in.
But all that will have to wait, because there’s a new threat stalking my city. One with a taste for blood and bone, unable to be killed or captured by normal human means.
It’s a good thing I’ve got four new roommates to help me hunt them down. But even if I didn’t, I’d figure out a way. Because I never give up. I never give in. And I always protect what’s mine.

spectacular fun read, kept me up until 3 AM. can’t wait for the next in the series.
4 stars for Cursed By the Night by Jasmine Watt. This is book 1 in the Dark Protectors series. This is my first book from this author and I am now a fan. This book is about Ace who is a detective known for debunking what others call paranormal cases. She is a strong bada** who doesn’t believe in magic. She has recently inherited a house from her aunt. This will change everything for her and what she believes in. This is a reserve harem and it involves sexy gargoyles. When Ace is called to a case that looks like something a Vampire would do , she is not sure what to think about that. However when she finds out everything she thought was fake is real, she doesn’t know what to do about it. I can not wait to read book 2 and see what is to come.
Absolutely loved this book. Great characters, a fresh take on paranormal romance, plenty of action and steam… had me hooked from the first page to the last.
Cursed by Night: A Why Choose Urban Fantasy Romance (Her Dark Protectors Book 1) Kindle Edition
by Jada Storm
Presented as a Why Choose rather than a Reverse Harem, CBN definitely has enough hot, hunky Gargoyles to fill anyone’s bed and heart.
Ace is a homicide detective who specialized in the weird cases, the cases that have the whiff of the supernatural or paranormal. But she isn’t a believer. She manages to find a logical, very real and a natural reason for the murders she solves. That is until she is called to the murder scene where the victim has been drained of blood and has bones removed!
She is a non-believer until she inherits the home of her Aunt Mary. A home that comes complete with four statues of gargoyles. Gargoyles who come to life at night and become four very hot Templar knights.
Hasan, Thomas, Gilbert and Jacques have been cursed and are now, after one thousand years, finally awakening for Ace, a woman who has magic even though she doesn’t realize it. They are determined to help her solve the serial murders she is working and protect her from her own stubbornness.
Ms. Storm gives a fun book, that includes a lot of fish out of water humor and passionate glances. There are a lot of stolen kisses and outright tumbles into bed that would make the wildest woman blush!
The police procedural part is a okay, not great as we kind of lose it when Ace discovers her magic.
I liked the fact, that for once, the heroine wasn’t constantly denying what happened, not understanding what happened or having to have the heroes explain all the spooky, hooky or supernatural things. Ace is fully able to access the ‘Net to translate things, look up info concerning monsters and other goodies. She is as capable of fighting against a baddie because she is a COP, has martial arts training and isn’t wuss! Loved that. I also enjoyed, that even with 1000 years in statue form, they are still Knights and kick butt. They are also smart and able to absorb the ‘new’ world they find themselves in when they experience it.
All in all a fun sexy time that includes 2 fast burn relationships, 1 medium and one glacially slow burn romance.
4 stars out of 5

This definitely has a different feel to it than most of Jasmine’s other works and it really does feel like a suspense thriller, with hints of paranormal. It took awhile to build the characters but once they were fleshed out the story began to move at a faster pace. By the time you reach the end you’re ready for the next book already.
The book started out a little too slow for my taste, but did speed up in the second half to my liking. The writing style is different from Jasmine’s other books. Overall it was a good book and I will be reading the second one to see where the adventure goes. I would recommend if you’re into paranormal romance/detectives/reverse harems.

What to expect in the book: gargoyle’s (who become Ace’s lovers), magic, murder, crime solving, vampires, sex scenes (that are fairly detailed), curses, and more.
*Note I received an ARC in exchange for my review, however I also purchased the book.
ARC – I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
Everything changed for Ace on the day that she inherited her aunt’s old house.
She found out about magic,
She got new protecters.
She was going to embark in a whole new “magical” kind of adventure, and she is draging us along for the ride.
I loved the storytelling + the characters
The storytelling + the character’s build were awesome!
