Ramuz
Ramuz has always lived in the shadows, finding solace in observing humans from afar. An outcast among his own kind and feared by the very beings he admires, Ramuz leads a lonely existence—until his eyes fall on Ursulette, mocked and harassed by the people in her village. As he watches over her, drawn to her perseverance and quiet strength, he feels a connection he never thought possible. When creatures invade the village with the intent to destroy it, Ramuz rescues Ursulette, whisking her away from the burning ruins to his hidden sanctuary—a risk that may cost him his life.
Ursulette
Ursulette has always felt like an outsider, yet despite yearning for a connection she’s learned to survive in isolation. When a raid of demons devastates her village, she awakens in the arms of a mysterious gargoyle—the very creature she should fear. Yet there’s something different about Ramuz. Unlike the creatures who destroyed her home, he shows her kindness, intelligence, and a deep, abiding affection. Ursulette faces the realization that her heart is falling for a creature she has been taught to fear.
As they return to her ruined village, they must confront the harsh reality that their love is forbidden—a love that could lead to their execution. Amidst the trauma of their pasts and the danger of their present, can they defy a world determined to keep them apart, or will their love cost them their lives?
Five stars? Pfft. This book broke the scale! I'd rate it higher if the system let me. Maybe invent a new star! Maam, Sins Of The Stone is officially a 10 in my heart!
I'm not even sure how to write this review without spoiling everything! All I can say is.... Ramuz is a character you NEED to know. This yummy Gargoyle "monster" dude is definitely going on my Hear Me Out list.

My reading experience with this book:
1. As an official monster/demon x human romance lover, I'm so PROUD of how Morella Moon portrays Ramuz as an ideal MMC character that most women dream of. This character has the qualities women will find desirable. He's respectful and he knows how to boost Ursulette's self-confidence. I'm so in love with the way he lifts her through her ups and downs. Why is he so damn sweet? OMG! I wish Ramuz existed in the real world! I'd be happily married now for sure!
2. These characters stole my heart. I fell for Ramuz and Ursulette's love story so easily. Call me crazy but they made me so happy. I mean, my whole day was filled with smiles. At work, during lunch and on my way home. Loved their cozy talks. So comforting!
3. I love Ursulette's character for being a brave girl. She's strong and doesn't need anyone's help. I love her independence. And she's a book lover too. I loved the part where she introduced books to Ramuz.
4. Finding a monster romance in third person is like finding a unicorn these days! Really! I mean...I can deal with first person, but third is my fave! I love that this is written in my preferred POV. Thank you so much, Morella!
5. The spicy scenes are hot. And what makes them even better is how gentle Ramuz (MMC) is with his human, even without dirty talk.
I'm planning to buy a paperback of this story as a gift for a friend in the future. I'm sure she'll be proud to read it in public with Ramuz and Ursulette on the cover. The illustration is gorgeous! ❤️
