Publisher's summary
He wanted me for my blood....
Living on the run was all I'd ever known. My life was unstable, but at least I wasn't alone. That all changed when my mother was murdered.
I ran from the unknown creatures she'd always feared until the day I stopped being afraid. That was my first mistake.
Cashel Blackthorne took me as his captive, but more than that, he opened my eyes to the terrible truth of the world.
Vampires exist, and I am the key to their salvation.
The Blackthorne vampires need my blood, but their prince desires more - me. There's something between us neither of us can deny. He is my captor, but I'll be his ruin.
Contains mature themes.

Story
I rejected my fated mate, and didn’t regret it for a second. Until now. Shipped off to Ravenscroft University, a graduate school for the supernatural elite, I have a lot to live up to. As heir to America’s most powerful pack, I was locked away. Not to be protected, but because I was born broken. A disappointment. A wolf who couldn’t shift. This is supposed to be my fresh start, but my past won’t leave me alone. Not when he’s here.

Story
Ten years ago I crossed the line with my younger brother’s best friend. I knew she was in love with me, and I couldn’t resist her. River Adams gave me her innocence on her 18th birthday. I broke her in return and made her hate me. I thought walking away from her would be easy, but I never expected to come face-to-face with everything I gave up. Thanks to a stipulation in my dad’s will, she’s back and we have to live together. Me. Her. My brother Walker, who has carried a torch for her since they were kids. And, how could I forget, Bishop, the ranch hand who can’t keep his eyes off her?

Story
Thousands of years ago, I fell from heaven to love a human woman. I willingly gave up my wings; shunned my place in heaven because she was all I needed. Then I lost everything. Forced to live on inside the body of a vampire, I searched for her, knowing she'd return to me in another life. But I finally gave up hope of finding my love, as so many of my fallen brothers had also done. I went dormant; gave over control to my vampire host, Galen - until Reese woke me, and my search began again. But heaven and hell are on the edge of war, and I'm the only one who can stop it.

Three years ago, a darkly handsome stranger stole my heart. After one night together, I was certain I’d found my fated mate—until he rejected me and disappeared like a shadow. I never told anyone about that night. I shoved the shattered pieces of my soul into a locked box and pretended I'd never met Kian. But when a witch whispers a dire warning in my ear one day, everything changes. Because I don’t just have one mate. I have three. Feral shifters, she calls them. Wild, untamed, and fueled by darkness, created by a magic no one has ever seen before.

This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me.

It was supposed to be simple. All of that changed in a single breath. Because it turns out I'm not human. And I just knocked out the power on an entire city block. In a split second, all of my carefully-laid plans go up in smoke. There's no chance for college because I'm being hauled off to Kingwood Academy. They say it's for my own protection and those around me. But I know one thing for sure . . . I'm not welcome here.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Story
I was kidnapped on my honeymoon by three masked men. Blindfolded. Bound. Destination unknown. I was told to stay silent and abide by their rules. But they didn’t realize I wasn’t a victim...not anymore. The open sea was my backdrop for nine torturous days. During that time, glimmers of my fate were revealed by a man with the mysterious chartreuse-colored eyes. He should have scared me, but he didn’t. He intrigued me. And I intrigued him. He punished me when I didn’t listen, which was every single day. But beneath his cruelty, I sensed he was guarding a grave secret.

My father called them messengers. He once told me they walked among us and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity—the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade.

Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Cocky, overbearing, and richer than the Earth, he thinks the world belongs to him, and that includes me. Yeah, no. Think again. It doesn't matter that his blue eyes look straight into my soul, or that his touch melts my icy reserve. It doesn't even matter that past all that swagger, there's a beautiful, damaged man who has so much to offer beyond private planes and jewelry boxes. But I had a plan: no falling in love.

Thousands of years ago, I fell from heaven to love a human woman. I willingly gave up my wings; shunned my place in heaven because she was all I needed. Then I lost everything. Forced to live on inside the body of a vampire, I searched for her, knowing she'd return to me in another life. But I finally gave up hope of finding my love, as so many of my fallen brothers had also done. I went dormant; gave over control to my vampire host, Galen - until Reese woke me, and my search began again. But heaven and hell are on the edge of war, and I'm the only one who can stop it.

The heroine: Olivia Stewart - Her mother was murdered one year ago. As she lay dying, she told Olivia to run. Her mother had been crazy, always moving them from town to town, saying that monsters were after her blood.
The Hero: Cashel Blackthorne - he is one of the Blackthorne vampires, son to the King. He finds the woman they have been searching for and brings her to Blackthorne manor to be a pet for the King.
The Story: Olivia is taken against her will and held captive in a mansion full of vampires who wanted her blood. They said her blood was sunshine. She had to cover her scent with rose oil or she would be at risk from all the vampires in the manor. Cashel is her only safety but she is not safe from him and she isn’t for him, but for the King.
This book was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Emma Wilder and Aaron Shedlock. Emma Wilder has a soft feminine voice and she portrays anxiety well with her voice. Aaron Shedlock has a gravely voice that works for the mysterious vampire that is Cashel.
The vampires had a plan and needed Olivia’s blood to cure sun sickness which is a disease that is killing vampires. Olivia is descended from a line of powerful magic. Her bloodline used to hold sunshine that could kill vampires. Though the blood was diluted through the years and when her mother died, she got the magic in her blood. Small amounts of blood would keep the remaining vampires alive.
Cashel was responsible for her safety, they told her that vampires would want to drain her dry and she was safer there than anywhere else where her fate might be the same as her mother. This all reminded me a lot of True Blood when it turned out Sookie was part Fairy and vampires craved her blood.
We find out early on that Cashel is somewhat trustworthy and that his father, the King, is the kind of vampire who likes to torment those around him. He wants Olivia for himself and would eventually drain her dry when he couldn’t stop himself even if killing her would mean the end of his race. This was a good alpha vampire captive romance with an original twist.

Different Twist on Vamps
Hi, my name is Suzi and I have a Vampire addiction that has gone from movies now into books. We all know the general trope and rules of vampire books; K. Loraine has re-Vamped the tale into something that equates to a total page turner for me. The story line of Cashel's Blackthorne family and the relationship to Olivia, whose blood is special and could be a cure of sorts is completely revolutionary to Vampire folklore. Really enjoyed the character development and slow build of how these two enemies become more to each other.
When I didn't think the story could get better, Loraine brought in two PHENOMENAL performers to narrate the series. I have a #GirlCrush on Emma Wilder and she does not disappoint. When Olivia is panicking and at her lowest moments, Wilder's performance takes over my emotions & I want to be there to comfort her. The other character voices she provides in this dual narration are blended well and she shines with her masculine voices, too! And then there is Aaron Shedlock...I'm BLOWN AWAY by his Cashel - it was not his voice I heard in my head when I read the book - so when he first came on the scene I was floored. The longer his audio portion builds in the narrative the more I fall further and further into the hypnotic control that Shedlock gives to Cashel. I'm really impressed & cannot wait to hear more in book two and three.
BRAVO - Give Me More Please!

Good Story, poor narration.
So, I was super excited about this series, from reading all the good reviews. I went on and purchased 5 books in the series. I have to say, I was disappointed by the female narration. Her choice of vocal inflection was poor. She sounded like a whiny teenager. It was a good thing they had a male narrator, because I wouldn't have gotten through it. Now I have 4 other books to get through. The story over all is good, But hopefully the story keeps me going or I may not finish it. *Note for a new reader, listen to a preview, first. Make your choice whether to listen, because the way she reads the story is the same through out the entire story.

Really sucks these are so short as to be novellas…slow, short, bland novellas that I won’t be spending credits on.
It was very slow moving…verrrrryyy sssslllowwww. Especially as once the book is at normal speaking speed it was just an afternoon listen. I can’t waste credits on the next books that will have a run time under 4 hours. If the Mate Games was a serial, that should have been one book, these are pamphlets that would make one half inch, large print book.
Zero one the spice scale. For mentioning A. N. Roquelaure’s (Anne Rice) Sleeping Beauty Trilogy, this book is cream cheese level spicy. When someone is a spicy romance novel author, but knows what is really spicy…wtf! None of this author’s books have pony play garden parties with butt plug tails and garden hose enemas, or wall mounted dildos with dildo mounted heroines on the wall…or anything close, because one doesn’t steal from Anne Rice, like Rice stole from Anne Desclos (author of Histoire d'O, The Story of O), because we are far more litigious than the French. In particular a French author writing under a pen name, that is a pen name…kind of like Anne Rampling…I mean A. N. Roquelaure…nope Anne Rice (we will ignore her actual name change, poor girl was named Howard…family names or whatever, but c’mon).
At least this author has a nod to the author who launched her into writing vampire erotica (this is the least erotic book…the only thing was the mention of erotica…which is also why I won’t spend a credit on her little novella).
Good narration, no massive complaints.
I would listen if they are free before I clear the “thousands of free books”, considering I won’t be bothering with some of the really bad free books, as this is already in the supernatural not-erotic not very romantic romance chicken scratch on the side of her school notes section.

Absolutely wonderful
I have absoutely enjoyed every bit of this book and love the dark notes throughout the story. I have already bought books 2 and 3 . The narrators did a wonderful job. I hope that this series continues.

Sexy vampires & plot twists abound!
Kim writes some of the best vampires, so I knew this would be good! The rich history of the Blackthorn Vampires and other paranormal creatures in this world brings a lot to the series. Cashel is a brooding vampire with devastating levels of sexy who was a pleasure to read for all his cockiness, all his well-earned bravado, and his eventual experience with true love. Olivia is special for many reasons, and her character growth in this first book is very well done! The cruelty, secrets, lies, intrigue, and shifting alliances make this story thrilling to experience! All the characters are complex and interesting and I'm really looking forward to learning more about this world in the rest of this series!
I am primarily #NarratorMotivated, so choosing this as my next book was a no brainer. Aaron & Emma are amazing & both deliver fantastic performances in this one! They bring so much emotion to the characters that you can really get lost in the story.

Could NOT stop listening....awake until 4:30AM!!!
Cashul (sp?) and Olivia have a constant push/pull with each other that they couldn't ignore. However, to give in means certain death for them both. Olivia has the opportunity to save the lives of all vampire kind. Cashul is sent on a mission to obtain Olivia for the Blackthorne vampire clan by his sadistic father. Once they arrive, Elias cannot resist and feeds on Olivia, almost killing her in front of Cashul. Cashul wants to protect her, but doing so means keeping his distance. When Olivia betrays him, she he have the strength to forgive her?
As always, Aaron Shedlock and Emma Wilder knocked thus performance out of the park!!!!!

Gahhhh
Gritty, dark, and oh so sexy. This book is the beginning of what is set to be an epic story. I love the narration and writing in this book. Definitely recommended if you are looking to escape.
