Knuckles, the gargoyle, is the controlling factor of peace at the Moonlight & Magic Club and he loves his job. He can solve any trouble that starts in the bar before it gets out of hand and knows how to take control before the problem gets started. When he has to rescue Neri, he feels an attraction to her that shouldn’t happen. She is a calming force for him in a positive way and they are able to start a relationship.

Neri has gotten herself into a terrible mess with her gangster boyfriend and now needs to escape him before he tries to kill her. On her way out of the club with the boyfriend’s bodyguard, who is plotting more than just a round of rough sex, she tries to get the attention of the doorman to no avail, but she is still hoping that someone will rescue her from death’s grip. After he takes her to his place to recover, she becomes fascination with Knuckles and is more than a little curious. They both explode with emotions as they explore each other intimately.

Sunlight & Slavery is the second book in the Moonlight & Magic series and I fell in love Knuckles because of his loyalty and desire to protect others, even if his actions put him in danger. He has all the redeeming qualities of a knight in shinning armor for me, and the tender, loving care he shows a human female is touching. There is a certain mystery surrounding the club itself and to have all types of races visit it was very interesting for me. Mina Carter did a fabulous job of writing of how different people can be, in their attitude, outlook and upbringing. Yet they can still live with and function together without violence.
