Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.

The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

Sydney Marlowe is making big changes to her life. She’s retired from her modelling career and sold her cosmetics company, all to live her dream of being a trad wife in a small town. She just needs to find a husband, something she’s confident won’t be a problem. Especially if she can learn to cook.

Gargoyle Adam Rockford is in Nocturne Falls temporarily. He’s agreed to help at the fountain so another gargoyle can take some time off. It’s the perfect chance to recuperate from the devastating heartache of his recent breakup. He has no interest in another relationship anytime soon, but he didn’t count on a woman moving in next door who shares a lot of his same dreams.

Too bad she’s human. Then again, his last girlfriend was a real witch…

I just love the Nocturne Falls series, and I think it is because you can be yourself no matter what or who you are. I feel like I personally know all the characters (in my head) in NF, so when new characters are introduced, you need to pay attention to see what new abilities can appear in the story.

One of the new and main characters is Sydney Marlow, recently retired from modeling, sold her beauty company, and moved to NF with her dog Mackie because of the low crime rate. She is a very assertive woman, knows what she wants, and goes for it in her way. A typical city girl looking to settle down that doesn't know how to cook.

Adam Rockford is the other new and main character who is renting from Willa and Nick for 6 months to work as the Gargoyle by the fountain. He wants to get away from a hard breakup from Veronica. He is a well-mannered, humble guy that his biggest wish is to be a cook besides having a family.

As days go by, they develop a great friendship that turns into an attraction that both fight. They seem to complement each other, where he cooks for her and she dresses him up. The only obstacle is that she is a human that doesn't know about the paranormal world. But like always, Birdie shows up for the rescue and intervenes every time a problem arises. And a lot of problems happen, especially when Veronica shows up doing many witchy things, giving us a lot of action. Figuring out how things end up for both of them, you need to read the book because I don't want to write spoilers.

Cozy, Romantic, and Full of Nocturne Falls Charm

The Gargoyle Beguiles the Beauty was a sweet, satisfying read with all the charm I’ve come to expect from Nocturne Falls. Sydney’s journey from glamorous entrepreneur to hopeful trad wife was heartfelt and endearing, and Adam—the gruff, kind gargoyle next door—made for a wonderful romantic lead. Their connection felt genuine and wholesome, and I loved watching it unfold.

As always, it was a joy to see familiar faces from around town. The cameos from Nocturne Falls’ favorites added that extra dose of magic that makes this series feel like coming home.

I’m giving it 4.5 stars because while the story was lovely, the ex-girlfriend plot thread was wrapped up a little too quickly for my taste. Her appearance felt almost like an afterthought, and I would’ve liked more time spent there to add depth and tension. The ending also tidied up a little too fast for me.

Still, this was a warm and magical read, perfect for fans of light paranormal romance with heart, humor, and a happily ever after you can root for.

Cozy, Romantic, Nocturne Fall Charm

It's a very sweet and gentle story, but not too much to it. The new characters are great, getting to visit "old friends" from the town is delightful, but the story is lacking in much excitement and felt a bit predictable.

FTR,I will still buy every Nocturne Falls book that come!

Sweet story

The Gargoyle Beguiles the Beauty by Kristen Painter
Nocturne Falls series #17. Paranormal romance. Closed door. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Welcome to Nocturne Falls, a town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year so the paranormal residents can live openly.
Gargoyle Adam Rockford is temporarily in Nocturne Falls to fill in as the gargoyle statue. He has a new neighbor, Sydney Marlowe, and helps her unload her moving truck. She drops by his house as a thank you, but he’s a bit standoffish. He doesn’t want her to think he’s ready for a relationship. He’s still dealing with his last girlfriend continuing to contact him. As Adam and Sydney become friends and more, he wants to tell her about his other form. But she’s human and he’s not allowed to share the secret. Can their relationship grow with that big a secret between them?

🎧 I listened to an audiobook version of this book narrated by B J Harrison who does the full series and connected series. The performance is wonderful and has distinct voices for main characters and a few for secondary. The comedy and concern comes through clearly as the couple gets to know each other. Because it’s the same narrator for the series, it feels like coming home when listening to the story. I do think his drawl is too slow so speed my playback above 1.5 so I can read an ecopy along with the audio.

Revisiting this town is such a comfort and getting a new romance is joyful.
Entertaining with a smidge of suspense as they deal with other paranormals. Love a good backed potato with toppings to choose from!

I received a copy of this from the author. Opinions are my own. I also purchased a copy to keep.

The other stories in this series are fantastic. This one, not so much. As always, the narrator was amazing.

This is a sweet, wonderful introduction of 2 new residents to Nocturne Falls. Adam Rockford is awesome. He's a friend of Nick's and is renting his house while filling in as a Gargoyle in the fountain, part of the charm of Nocturne Falls is the folks being themselves in the open due to the town promoting Halloween every day. In moves the beautiful Sydney Marlow to rock (pun intended) his world. They become fast friends and it is a story of them both being attracted to the other but not saying it until Sydney decides to put it out there... but it's not so easy... he's only there temporarily and to top it off, his ex shows up to give them some drama. I was happy to see that Birdie along with a few other regulars are in this book. Birdie befriends Sydney and as always helps to get these 2 together!! I don't want to give too much away but the story is more in the growing relationship and the ex is a small part when she shows up to throw in some chaos. It's a great, cute feel good story complete with adorable doggies, Mackie and especially Sugar Belle.
Let's not forget the always wonderful B.J. Harrison narrating!

Another Great Nocturne Falls Story!

I love this book because it is more of Nocturne Falls but also because it is another great, wholesome story…one that I can get lost in and just get lost in the way it unravels and wraps up. KP never disappoints.

Never get enough of Nocturne Falls
