Summary

An all new full cast duet narrated series in the Mate Games world from USA Today best-selling authors, Meg Anne and K. Loraine. Includes the prequel novella Promised to the Night.

Roslyn Blackthorne is dead. Technically. I faked my death to get out of a loveless marriage, but that was only half the battle. To ensure my vampire duke can never find me, I have to run far and fast enough so he can’t catch me. Because if he does, it’s over. Not just my life—for real this time—but my entire family’s.

So how does the princess of the Blackthorne vampires disappear in a world where every supernatural creature knows who she is? Summon a demon, of course. Pan agrees to keep me hidden, help me start a new life…for a cost. And it’s not my soul he’s after. Oh no, he wants my blood…and my body. But so do they. The shifter twins. The cursed hacker. And, of course, my estranged husband.

Starting over should be easy after my bargain with the demon. New name. New job. New reality in a tiny town where no one would think to search. Welcome to Aurora Springs, Alaska, a sleepy place where everyone is hiding something and nothing ever happens. At least it was…until I arrived and people started dropping like flies.

It looks like I brought my past, and a whole host of other problems, with me. But that’s not a big deal, right? It’s not the end of the world or anything.

WARNING: The Mate Games: Pestilence is a spicy why choose series that is sure to set your…heart…on fire. If you’re not a fan of grumpy dukes with a penchant for pain, purple demons with fancy body parts, nosy hackers with boundary issues, angsty wolf shifters who like to share, sword crossing, and plenty of group activities, this one’s not for you. But if it is…welcome back to The Mate Games, we’ve been waiting for you.

I'm in audio lover heaven

A sassy vampire hybrid; a set of hunky wolf shifter twins; a cursed, lovable hacker; a deviant, determined demon; and an intimidating, scorned (ex-)husband … oh my! K. Loraine and Meg Anne are taking us on another wild, intense ride with their brand-new dark, twisty, steamy why choose paranormal romance series, that’s for sure! And if you’re an audio lover like I am, you’ll probably die and go straight to heaven, just like I did, with a multicast like this one. I mean – Stella Hunter, John Hartley, James Joseph, Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan, and J.F. Harding all in one audio – and in a high-steam story, chock-filled with secrets, mate bonds, danger and murder like this one? Eargasm deluxe! Even if audios aren’t usually your jam, I highly recommend to give this one a try!

Pure aural decadence of the highest order!

The summer of 2022 was amazing because it gifted the world with the first Mate Games series from the genius writers K Loraine and Meg Anne. I became instantly addicted to that series, it was practically perfect and I have constantly re-read it because that story and those characters mean so much to me.

So, how do K Loraine and Meg Anne top that? If I was them I would be too daunted to even try. The fans adored Sunday and her four men so will we ever be able to live up to that? I really should have had more faith. Not only did they live up to it, they clearly just sat down and went right everything we ever want to put in to this series lets just do it! This is next level and there are no safe words ;)

And I am here for it. This is a scorching hot, filthy, decadent, intensely sexy and thrilling ride of a book....and its only book 1!!! I don't know if I can stand it but I think it is official and I will submit to K Loraine and Meg Anne wherever they want to take me.

At the centre of this new series, is Roslynn Blackthorn, (played with an exceptional British accent by Stella Hunter) who is the kind, sweet, naive and unworldly princess who ends up on the run and hides out in Aurora Springs, Alaska. But she is also clever, brave and resourceful and determined to do whatever she must to keep her family safe. It is hard not to love her.

She finds allies in the elusive but sexy hacker Asher and the Shifter Mercer Twins Ben and Remi. An added bonus, missing from the first Mate Games, is the MM element between Asher and Remi and just praying that develops over the next three books.

But there are a couple of seductive anti-hero bad boys in this one too. Our Rosie ends up in an intense "deal" with the wickedly enticing demon, Pan (played to perfection by James Joseph) which awakens her latent sexual desires and then of course, there is the little matter of her estranged husband, the vampire Duke of Tears, Gavin who will do anything to track down his wife.

I love this book so much, it is just too intoxicating and there are plenty of hot and racy scenes so as not to disappoint you.

Before we go any further, you can ONLY experience this book in audio. The authors have assembled for you a handpicked stellar cast of actors to PERFORM this book for you like your very own audio drama. It's the height of aural decadence going on here with a smorgasbord headed up by the Queen of Audio herself, Stella Hunter. She rules over all she surveys, as usual, but absolutely crushes it as the sweet kindhearted Rosie who just happens to need a bit (OK a lot) of pain to go with her pleasure. Her talents are put on another showcase in this one as she takes on everyone from a no nonsense American shifter barmaid, a creepy Irish vampire and everyone's favourite demon, Lilith. I could listen to Stella all day, everyday....and that's not far off reality.

Returning to play in this series are the truly wonderful J.F Harding as my personal favourite, the grumpy Alpha Ben and James Joseph in an absolutely sensational Tom Ellis-esque turn as the demon Pan. I spend way too much time imagining (and praying) for these two actors to do more stories together **Hint to the Audio Universe**

Joining the Mate Games Universe in this book are some high calibre actors, the silkily seductive John Hartley really brings the sadist vampire Gavin to life in a way no one else can. Teddy Hamilton was born to play the moody and sarcastic hacker Asher and brings his unique humour to the book which sparks beautifully with the equally brilliant, and his regular collaborator, Jacob Morgan who plays the irresistible flirt Remi. You can see why #Jeddy is an electric fan favourite and the authors have delivered them up to the fans on a platter in this one.

This is one of those magnificent gems of a creation which had me praying that the audiobook would never end. Every chapter, every twist, every moment had me salivating for more and made me want to hit replay again. I have listened to this multiple times and it never ever fails to deliver. I love you Meg and Kim!!! Give us all the books, now!!!

Great start

Enjoying this continuation of the series but the first in Rosie’s storyline. The cast are excellent again and the addition of Gavin’s narrator (I’m not sure who is who!) is fantastic. Well worth a listen!

Suspense, Steam and Surprises!

Rosie will do anything to protect her family and that includes marrying Gavin, a dark and dangerous duke and faking her death to escape those who mean her harm. She now finds herself in Aurora Springs trying to become a new person with the help of Asher, a hacker who is having his own difficulties.

He arranges for her to with Remi & Ben who are not only wolf shifters but twins who believe she is their fated mate. When you throw in a husband who is not pleased to find out what you have been up to as well as a demon you know you are in for quite the adventure.

The chemistry that these characters share is intense as they find themselves battling their feelings for each other as well as the ever-escalating danger and surprises. I listened to the audio and the narrators were a perfect choice both for the characters and the story.

Exciting New Series in the Mate Games Realm

This is awesome. This book is full of surprises, suspense and mystery. Then there is so much heat and humour to boot! I’m loving it!

Okay I’ll admit that I have listened to this audiobook multiple times to escape into this world. Hearing names we became familiar with in the Mate Games Series and getting glimpses into where they are was everything that I wanted and needed.

This is book 1 of a new series and I’m entranced by this fantasy world. Pfff who needs the real world, not me!

This new series has a multitude of interesting characters that are performed by a variety of professionals. You’re sure to have an eargasmic experience like I did.
Most was of the Mercer twins who are aiding in hiding Rosie from her husband. Asher is the one who helped her create another persona in this new life she’s trying to make work. Yet there’s also a demon Pan, who has been taking Rosie’s blood as well as taking her body in many sensual ways. Rosie finds herself attracted to all of them, even the husband she is running away from. Then it all comes to a brilliant suspenseful cliffhanger ending that leaves you wishing for more!

The Cast, The story, The Spice... Perfection

K. Loraine and Meg Anne did it again. Absolute perfection. I loved The Mate Games - War and I was a little apprehensive heading into Deal with the Demon. Can they beat the perfection they put out last time?! Yes, YES THEY CAN! I loved every second from the time I flipped the first page until I read the last line! I didn't think I could love a series more than I loved War... but I'm looking forward to that being changed because this has so much potential and I just know they're going to make it soar!

The Audio for me was second to none but it always is with these two. I read the book first and then jumped in with the Audio and the cast brought the characters perfectly to life. Stella's British accent for Rosie is beautiful. J.F Harding brought our protective Ben's stutter perfectly to life.. having suffered with a stutter in early childhood I felt this so deeply. He made me feel that deep push to get the words out and the deep breathing to calm himself before speaking so he could get them through clearly! Ugh all of it I felt it all! The others were cast perfectly too the voices are matched wonderfully to the characters and performed to such an amazing level. I can't wait to see what Claimed by the shifters brings!!

Good continuation of the Mate Games

The story was good. The ensemble cast as usual is fabulous. But I’m afraid all the stuttering spoiled it for me. It actually made me very anxious and tight chested as if I couldn’t breath. Please say that as soon as they mate, it will miraculously cure him.

Wow, what an introduction to RH and PRN!

Wow, what an introduction into two new tropes #reverseharem (RH) and #paranormal (PRN)!

It was an incredible yarn but best experienced in audio as its multi-cast #duet and it is phenomenal!  I've also found two new narrators #jamesjoseph and #johnhartley to add to my list!

If you are reading, remember to read the prequel "Promised to the Night" which is included in the audio.

This is full of smut and Rosie is such a sl*t and can barely keep her knickers on from one chapter to the next while pleasuring the demon and  her mates, but perhaps that's because she's a vampire. What I didn't get was surely if you mate with one, you can't mate with everyone?? Anyway I suppose I'll get used to the idea as it's my first shape shifter book too!!

I now can't wait for book #2 to drop next month and  I may be in the minority but I'm on Gavin's Side!  😉

hot

A series worth read and/or listening if you are looking for smut with an actual story with it. The narration in it self is just amazing.

What an opener

What an opener! This first book in the Mate Games Pestilence series has it all, swoony shifters, hot vamps, devilish demons, romance, a bit of MM action and even a tail.

This is a brilliant introduction to a new group of characters, with a few spicy moments and some scenes that will have you laughing so hard.

I cannot wait to see what happens next.
