This is a wonderful collection that gives you all three books in this gargoyle shifter romance series. I fell so hard for Roman and Larissa and I became fully invested emotionally in this couple. I felt that they shared such amazing chemistry and I truly believed they were a perfect match. One of the things that I especially liked about this series was that this couple had so many things in common but also some very big differences. For me that added a lot of depth and realism to their romance. The storyline is filled with drama, danger, intense emotions, action, suspense, surprising twists and a bit of heat. As the story unfolds, their relationship evolves and their feelings deepen, these two must deal with the fallout from life-altering secrets and try to balance duty and desire, all while they work to protect humanity. An enticing and exciting series that should not be missed.
I do love getting to read all of the books in a trilogy one after another and stopping when I want to, not when I have to wait for the next book. In this collection we get a forbidden romance between cop and a shifter. Larissa and Roman had great chemistry and had me cheering for them from the start. Their love story is filled with action, danger, suspense, secrets, romance, drama and unexpected twists that held my attention from the first page of the first book until the last page of the final book.
This fantabulous boxset contains three action-packed, steamy romantic adventures, witches , shifters and gargoyles! Fast paced this is a steamy paranormal romance with a great storyline and fantastic characters with sizzling chemistry and a battle between good and evil! With Tons of action, suspense, murder, danger and twists and turns this is a boxset that you will not be able to put down!

It all starts in Boston on the evening of the eclipse of red supermoon. Larissa Riley is a cop. She has not slept well since the Boston Marathon Bomb from a few years ago. Her relationships fall apart and work is her only focus. He best friend Janie talks her into a ladies night on the town. Larissa has a bad feeling but goes anyway.
There is an old folk tale that says you may find your soul-mate on such a strange night as this. Larissa meets a man. Roman is the commander of the Stone Sentries (gargoyles) that patrol the skies of Boston, keeping it safe.
Larissa is attracted to Roman and decides she needs a little fun, she ditches Janie and takes Roman back to her hotel room. Boston is under a supernatural threat and is being attacked. Who or what is responsible? Where is her best friend Janie? Is Roman involved?
Larissa has always known things before they happened. She has magic! Can she learn to use it?
You get three complete books in this series. They are action packed and filled with twists and turns and plenty of romance. The characters seem very real and I could not put them down. It is forbidden for a gargoyle and a human to have a relationship. Grab this series and learn about Larissa and her magic. Where is Janie? Has she been kidnapped? Demons? A Portal?
When it is cold outside grab this series, get a nice beverage and immerse yourself in Boston and the Stone Sentries.
OMG! “RISE OF THE FIRE WITCH” is a ‘Witch and Shifter Fated Mates’ Trilogy from the Stone Sentries world that’s steamy, romantic, and an action-packed must read! I loved reading these previously as single releases, but was frustrated having to wait in between 😮 but now these three, 1- Tempted by the Gargoyle, 2- Enticed by the Gargoyle and 3- Captivated by the Gargoyle are all together with no waiting! … Always unique plots, great descriptions, relatable characters and surprise twists that will keep readers turning pages like crazy! Even tho I always volunteer to read this author’s books, it is without any outside influences & I honestly do recommend this & any of Ms. Carlisle’s stories to adult 18+ fans of PNR fiction 🙂
Absolutely Loved Rise of The Fire Witch. A new Twist on a Gargoyle Love story. Three stories in one book. Very Exciting, full of Mystery and Turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. I am very excited about this story and hoping for more. Cannot wait to see who might be next.
Roman and Larissa
Its official I have now read all three stories and let me tell you I did this in one day. The first book will give you the backstory of how they meet which personally was dangerous but it worked for them.
The second book will fill you in on the situation between Roman and Larissa along with the danger to the city and Janie. Let me tell you as humans don’t believe everything they see until it is ripping you from limb to limb before your mind tries to convince you that it is playing tricks.
Book three is the wrap up and it was a dozy.
Knowing that Roman and Larissa are working together and working towards maybe a relationship in this book still gave the story some oomph.
Yes, you can read book 3 by itself but in order for you to get the full enjoyment I do suggest that you read book 1 into so as to get the backstory. These two will go through some things that the average relationship would never survive. The author kept the story moving and the characters interesting and had a well-thought-out so what more could you ask for in a book.

Roman is a gargoyle shifter and part of the stone sentries. A group of gargoyles that protect Boston covertly. Larissa (FMC) and Roman meet by chance on the night of the blood moon/Eclipse and that night sets a lot of things in motion especially with them both. Action-packed and fast-paced this book is full of characters that you cant help but like. This trilogy of books are a fab read. Just hoping Arlo and Janie get their own book?
This great boxed set includes the three books in the Series: Tempted by the Gargoyle, Enticed by the Gargoyle, and Captivated by the Gargoyle. You have to listen to this series in order. The characters are intriguing, and well developed. Each installment is fast paced, filled with danger, action, and suspense. Kieran Flitton and Bridget Bordeaux did a fantastic job with the narration. I enjoyed it.
This is the entire series – books 1-3 of Carlisle’s Boston Stone Sentries series. This series focuses on Larissa and Roman. We take exciting and dangerous adventures in each read and see these characters grow individually – especially Larissa as well as together. Lots of action and lots of steam. Definitely love that this series can be read / listened to all together as these need to be enjoyed in order to get the most from it. Dual narration is wonderful. I always love a dual narration as I think is usually helps being both main characters to life. Overall a great paranormal romance series between witches and gargoyles.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Rise of the Fire Witch by Lisa Carlisle contains the first three novels in the Stone Sentries of Boston Series. Tempted by the Gargoyle, Enticed by the Gargoyle, and Captivated by the Gargoyle. I LOVED these stories. If I could shout it in a review I would. There is action, love, and a connection that brings it all together. For me, that is what keeps me reading a story is feeling that connection to the characters, Ms. Carlisle really is amazing at connecting me to the story and making me want more.
I loved how in the first book Tempted by the Gargoyle Stone Sentries One: you get introduced to the world we are in. But there is no bogging us down either. I like how Ms. Carlisle brings that perfect balance of storytelling and moving the story along. It is hard to do in these kinds of stories and Ms. Carlisle does it perfectly for me.
Larissa is the heroine in Tempted by the Gargoyle. I love she is strong, independent, but has a softness to her. She has a lot to move past to find love, but once she does, she finds the most unexpected love and she finds out how strong she really is.
Roman is a gargoyle shifter. He is the commander of the Stone Sentries. He might be tough, but he has such a huge heart. I loved getting to know him. I also loved how Larissa brings out the best in him. They balance each out.
Each story in this series just makes me want more. I loved these stories and cannot wait to read more. I liked that I had three of the books in one place. It allows me to binge read and I love doing that. I highly recommend this series to lovers of urban fantasy, you have gotta get to know the gargoyles and the women who love them.

Tempted by the Gargoyle-
I have become a huge fan of Gargoyle shifters and this author is why…
Larissa is human… a cop… and she has PTSD to some extent regarding the bombing in Boston. One night her best friend talks her into going out to a club. She intends to have fun but the cop in her never shuts off or down.
Roman what a sexy man he is… At first he thinks Larissa is some kind of paranormal being… he is very drawn to her and for the life of him he can’t figure out why…
The night of the full moon will be one of excitement, suspense, heartache, and a whole lot of learning.
Enticed by the Gargoyle-
Larissa thought all would be good with her best friend Janie getting out of the hospital but this story takes us on another wild ride with Larissa and Roman right in the middle, beginning, and end of the action. The story picks up where the first one left us.
I am so enjoying these stories…
Captivated by the Gargoyle
It’s all on deck for a portal trip… To save Janie and forever keep Larissa safe Roman commander of the Gargoyles makes the decision they will venture into the demon realm. Mistake? Perhaps but they must try to save Janie she is his mate’s best friend but also his lieutenants’ mate. This story is filled with action and follows right from book two.
**I read this book via Kindle Unlimited**
