The Stone Men series
Rock Hard by Kathy Lyons

Cursed, or a bargain with a Goddess has turned Kane into stone for all but three days a year. In those three days, he must give a woman True Bliss to escape his servitude. For two hundred years he’s shagged female after female hoping to give one True Bliss.
Jacqueline Myles wants the true story, enough to sigh away her rights to the story. What she gets is return is a sexy male look-a-like to the compelling statue that will give her bliss for the night.

A sexy and steamy fantasy story that turns sentimental and altruistic.
A cliffhanger for a secondary character.
Fun read. I ordered the second series book about half way through this first story. Can’t wait for the follow-up.

Excerpt:
“Mrs Myles said “but if you get your wish, what would you do?”
“Not kill anyone ever again.” The words were out before he could stop them. It was his fondest wish. That and to eat good food and have a dog. So simple and yet so unattainable. And perhaps, he’d like it if she patted his hand again. In private. Somewhere where he could howl out his devastation or sob like a child.”

Made Flesh by Anna Argent

Sue inherited the duties of taking care of the lifelike, gorgeous male statue in her farmhouse. Someday she’ll get to reading the manual. When she’s attacked and the statue comes to life, she thrust into a fight between the sister Goddesses Stonemen war.
Dalton has old fashioned manners and is protective of Sue. It’s been a really long time since he’s been able to feel like a man. Sue is only wearing a robe so he does his best to avert his eyes. Their relationship takes the turn to sexual and emotionally as they work together to avoid the wrath of the Goddess.

Fantasy or paranormal when a statue comes to life? Either way, it’s sexy and heartwarming. ( )
