About this listen
Beauty and the Beast meets Hades and Persephone in this shifter fantasy romance standalone!
A god wants me dead.
My ancestors stole half his soul then imprisoned him in Tartarus, thinking he'd be forgotten. That he could never return.
They were wrong.
The day he rips open a portal between our worlds, my life is over. As the current guardian of his cursed soul, my head is on the chopping block, but there's a snag in his plan. This dark god believes he's my fated mate.
We're not, but he refuses to take no for an answer.
When he kidnaps my cousin, I'm forced to make a deal. To rescue her, I have to spend six months in Tartarus. Pretending to be his mate. His queen.
Saving both our lives means fake dating the king of monsters. The real danger comes when my modern-day Hades makes it clear that he wants not just my life, but my love.
That was never part of the bargain, but with every stolen kiss and forbidden touch—I just might be handing him my heart.
Mate Me is a spicy standalone romantasy set in the Immortal Vices and Virtues Universe. Every book is a guaranteed happily ever after with a satisfying ending and no cliffhangers. Perfect for fans of Immortals After Dark, Black Dagger Brotherhood, and the Demonica series.

I refuse to spend the rest of my life with my childhood bully for a mate. I may be a cursed shifter, incapable of shifting—but I wasn't desperate. Not till the Alpha Supreme cast me out of the House of Fire and Fluorite for rejecting his son. Now I'm packless. Homeless. No longer under the protection of a House. Until the dark vampire king of Blood and Beryl turns his sights on me. In return for protection from my former House, I have to become his fake mate. I'll be a queen and a fraud. It's a treacherous lie to live—and I find myself forgetting what's real and what's not.

When I throw myself at the mercy of the Ringmaster in No Man's Land, I'm only seeking temporary refuge. A place to hide from the corruption and death that waits for me back home. Three months. That's all I have until the protection the circus provides me expires. My bodyguards? Three shifters who look at me like they want to eat me for dinner. They want my body. My heart. And even as the attraction I feel for them is stronger than anything I've ever felt, neither of those are mine to give. Not anymore.

Like letting the best woman I ever had slip through my fingertips. A sinfully beautiful spitfire, she's my better half in every way. My twin flame. My everything. My biggest regret.

The Royal Water Fae I’m in love with just hired me to be his intern. Oh. My. Fae. I only applied for the job because of a dare, and now I’m packing my bags for the North Pole. No big deal. I can totally be professional. I haven’t seen him since the Academy anyway. Maybe he’s gotten fat from all the Winter Fae sweets Except, no. Kalt hasn’t gotten fat at all. He’s still perfectly chiseled and even more gorgeous than I remember. And worse? He has two equally hot friends. A royal elf named Lark. And a sexy-as-sin selkie named Norden.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears.

Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

He’s fixed on making this a Christmas Evie will remember forever. If she gives him a chance.

Not till the Alpha Supreme cast me out of the House of Fire and Fluorite for rejecting his son. Now I'm packless. Homeless. No longer under the protection of a House. Until the dark vampire king of Blood and Beryl turns his sights on me. In return for protection from my former House, I have to become his fake mate. I'll be a queen and a fraud. It's a treacherous lie to live—and I find myself forgetting what's real and what's not.

Which, as it turned out, wasn't quite like the fairy tales little girls are told growing up. Not only is magic real, more importantly, so are monsters. And apparently, I'm one of them.

Being a supernatural bounty hunter isn’t exactly a popular job. But after the magic wars, there aren’t many things a human can do that will put food on the table. Thankfully, anything my right hook can’t handle, my guns can. Or so I thought.

The last thing she ever imagined was Lucan, an infuriating and high-ranking dragon shifter, hiring her to find a child kidnapped from his Tribe. Even though her magical talents lean more towards bodyguarding and hunting dangerous beings, condemning a kid to death isn't who she is. But as Mackenzie gets deeper into her hunt, she uncovers deadly secrets surrounding the child, the kidnapper, and Lucan himself...

🅰🆄🅳🅸🅾🅱🅾🅾🅺 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆
I listened to another book in this series out of order and knew I wanted the rest.
These authors and narrators are completely new to me and I'm glad I took the chance to listen.
The writing was good, narration was fantastic.
Narration by Stephen Borne and Savanah Rivers.
Caius and Reagan are fated mates (and a past lives trope bonus).
There are multiple side characters to love and cheer on amd a few you want to die!
Overall a good choice to listen to if you like romantasy/PNR.
Looking forward to the next books!

She was Forced to Take his Soul, but now has his Heart
A Romance that shifts from magic to monster lore, mystery and banishment, lies and discovery, Mate Me tosses our heroine into Tartarus.
Reagan’s life is straight from a supernatural novel: a rare black unicorn shifter (that is struggling to control and bond with her familiar,) a father who is an alpha werewolf pack leader, a contracted hunter of magical items, and a guardian, forced at birth to house the soul of the god of Tartarus inside her… and it will eventually kill her. Just like her mother.
Little did she know that when her life is in danger, it opens up the locked portal to Tartarus…and the next phase of her destiny.
When her powerful (and sassy) witch cousin, Clara, is kidnapped into Tartarus, Ragan makes a deal with the king of the Underworld; she will stay six months with him then both Ragan and Clara can go home.
His reasoning? It’s not to get back his soul back that has been inside the females in Reagan’s line for thousands of years.
It’s because he swears Reagan is his mate.
The story does indeed transform into the notes of the cherished “Beauty and The Beast” and “Hades and Persephone,” just like the tagline states.
J will admit; it took me a bit to get into the story. The reasoning was because the lore for this world they set-up was often confusing. Or not explained hardly; just there. I would have enjoyed a prequel novella or maybe a few more chapters to explain the complexity of Reagan’s family and their monstrous, magical, shifters, and fey abilities and connections.
But the final climax was handled well, touched my heart, made me gasp, and tied the loose strings in a bow.
The setting of Tartarus was described well and our king of Tartarus had his background decently flushed out.
Our leading lady Reagan was so sarcastic and snarky. She was easy to relate to and like. And Clara was such a devilishly charming character! My favorite. The audiobook narrator played them both brilliantly.
Our king of Tartarus was dark, rich, charming, tender, and a just ruler. The male lead had a great intonation, pitch, and rasp for him. I wish his voice would have changed a little more for the others; he also had a surfer drawl to it. But I did enjoy his performance.
And their steamy scenes…let’s just say, it’ll make you appreciate painting more!

Shadow Mate
This story has some great characters and world building. I went into this one with no expectations. It has several different types of shifters which is outside my normal and welcomed. Caius is an amazing main male lead. He is possessive and sweet with a dash of darkness. Reagan is a feisty, independent female lead and when they come together its explosive. The side characters are so good you want to hear their stories as well. The narrators did an amazing job. These are new to me authors but I am positive it won't be the last I read of theirs.

Family Is Everything
Reagan is a wayward guardian, an unknown shifter who can't shift, a graveyard digger, and a beloved daughter, sister, and cousin in the boisterous Santiago family. As a guardian, she holds the soul of a condemned primordial and is all that is standing between him and the world's destruction. Caius was betrayed and then sentenced to Tartarus for eternity but when his prison falls he opens a portal to Earth to kill the guardian and reclaim his soul. However, one look at Reagan and he recognizes his mate. Once again the world changes. When Reagan won't listen to him Caius kidnaps her cousin, forcing her to follow him to Tartarus. There she discovers everything she's been told about him and much about herself has been a lie. She may hold his soul but he earns her heart and not everyone is happy about that.
This story is about Hades and Persephone with a fun family twist and a dark unicorn. A standalone romance in the Immortal Vices and Virtues world, this was an entertaining story. I would have appreciated more character development. We never more than touched on Reagan's witch side and barely much more on her shifter side. More details would have been better. Caius and Reagan were fine, Caius's inner circle were good characters, but the real stars of the story were the Santiago family. Their big personalities, the food, drink, games, and especially their love for one another made the book for me.
Savannah Rivers and Stephen Borne were the narrators for this story. I thought Savannah did a wonderful job with the female cast. However, I felt Stephen was less successful with the males. Every male in Tartarus including Caius sounded the same. There was no distinction between Caius, his brother, and best friend. His tone was great but there was no diversity.

Loved this
I couldn't stop listening to this book as soon as I started it. It was so much more than what I was expecting. It has everything from mystery, spice, banter, and amazing chemistry. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. The world the author created was amazing to read about.
The narration was so well done. The way the narrators brought these characters to life.

Not exactly what I expected
I really enjoyed the authors' style of writing. The female lead is feisty and sarcastic. Sarcasm is my love language, so I actually enjoyed the banter she had with her family. I am also very close knit with my family, which is the same with that character. So I identified with the FMC, but she is not what I expected. For starters, the FMC and her whole family are hispanic. They mention this specifically several times in the story, speak spanish in some places, and use some of the hispanic customs. The girl on the cover does not fit the description to me. It's a minor thing and certainly would not have deterred me from reading it. The other thing is the description lead me to think the God that wants her dead would be horrible and scary to her, but he was a gem from the moment he felt she was his mate (Which was the moment he met her) I was expecting some turmoil that he would not believe the bond was legit because the curse involved her having half of his soul or she reminded him of his past love that betrayed him and there would be some angst to overcome with trusting this "new" version of her. He was all in from the start, was actually an amazing guy, and I am still scratching my head as to why he was cursed to begin with. So I do feel like there were some holes. There are ALOT of side characters that got a little confusing at times. It might be a lead up for more books with specific stories for those side characters. It is a very slow burn because she did not believe there was a bond. Truly, it was like a mini vacation for her while he convinced her that she was his mate. It perked my interest enough that I would read another book by the author, especially if it had one of the side characters. The narrators were amazing. It is a duet style narration where the male reads all the male parts and the females reads any of the female lines. I really enjoy the stories done in this style.
I requested and received a free audio copy via the publisher, and I voluntarily wrote this honest review. #TheFlockVIPReviewTeam #PinkFlamingoProductions #PFPAudio

Good shifter romance with great characters
This shifter fantasy romance was a captivating ride. Reagan, the guardian of a cursed soul, must pretend to be the mate of Caius, a dark god, to save her cousin. Their chemistry is electric, and the slow-burn romance kept me hooked. The story is rich with magic, danger, and heartfelt moments, offering a satisfying standalone experience. The world-building is fantastic, and the characters are well-developed, making it a must-listen for fans of fantasy romance. I highly recommend it for its blend of passion, mystery, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

Shifter God Romantasy
Mate Me by Kel Carpenter and Aurelia Jane is a shifter god romantasy that I listened to on audio narrated by Savannah Rivers and Stephen Borne. This book is set in the Immortal Vices and Virtues universe and can be read as a standalone.
This is the first book of Kel and Aurelia's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the relationship that bloomed between Caius and Reagan. I loved getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.
Stephen and Savannah did an amazing job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.
I would recommend this book if you're looking for a shifter romance, God romance, or fantasy romance.
