Temptation

Temptation is the fourth and final book in The Mate Game series by K. Loraine and Meg Anne.

Synopsis

Temptation, thy name is Sunday Fallon, and I am done resisting. Once upon a time I’d been a priest, but she’d made a sinner of me and now I welcomed damnation.

She’d always been my destiny. The woman whose life was tied to mine. I just hadn’t planned on falling in love and being forced to choose between my vows and my soul.

No matter how deep my connection to her ran, I had a greater purpose I was meant to serve. And now that she was carrying the Harbinger of the Apocalypse–the result of our passion–I had to get her away from the rest of them.

Her god of mischief.

Her devoted wolf.

Her dark prince.

She belongs to me…Her twisted captor.

If she’ll let me, I’ll keep her. Hide her from everyone and everything that means to destroy her. Stop what’s coming and make her mine forever. Because Sunday Fallon is more than temptation. She’s my new religion.

I’ve made my choice. This time I will not falter. I will worship at her altar and forsake all others. No matter the consequence.

The seals are broken.

Armageddon is coming.

And I’m ready for War.

Review

Well this book put me in a glass case of emotion. That cliff hanger we were left with at the end of book 3 was insane. Caleb kidnapping Sunday and of course her scent was masked because she planned on running urgh! I was a little dissapointed at first because even though Caleb was her mate I hated that she was still begging him for anything. Sunday has been a strong female character this whole series so I had trouble getting through this first part of the book. Even when she decided to be compliant to try and "trick" Caleb. How stupid does she think he is?? "Sunday was many things. Sexy, tempting, arousing, maddening. But never compliant. She fought me tooth and nail even when she agreed with me. She loved pushing my buttons. There was nothing she could do to raise my suspicions faster than behave."

Luckily she got her shit together and started to actually act like the Sunday we've all grown to love. “You told me you brought me here to destroy my daughter. If I have to choose between her or you, I choose her. Every fucking time. So yes, Caleb. I’m going to murder you to save her.” I usually avoid the pregnancy trope like the plague so I was a little iffy when I found out about Sunday in book two . But when your child is gonna cause the apocalypse, things get a little more interesting. “Magical baby batter. Who knew the Apocalypse would be started by a gang bang?”

But what kept me around after learning about the pregnancy? These characters! Sunday, Kingston, Alek, Thorne, Caleb and Moira, I love all of them! Moira is the sarcastic sassy best friend. The dynamic between Sunday's mates is hysterical. I can't even with Kingston. 🤣

“I guess I call big spoon, Kingston,” Alek said as Thorne raced up the stairs before anyone else. Ash snorted. Kingston grunted. “You try and cuddle me, Nordson, and I’ll hump your leg, I fucking swear.” “Is that a promise? You wanna be a good dog and keep me warm by sleeping with me in your furry form?”

And Sunday has such a diverse relationship with each of her mates but they still all work together perfectly.

You’re my romantic. Kingston is my dirty Alpha. Alek, my strong, steady rock. And Caleb is my strict yet tender daddy.

“Nothing is fair in a game where mates are on the line. Happiness costs everything, and it’s worth every penny to know the touch of true love. To look into the eyes of the one being created solely for you and know you are loved despite every flaw. To know, with utter certainty, that you have found your place in the world. There is no price I wouldn’t pay, Sunday, to be right here, right now, with you. To be yours.” I hate that this series is over but I was so happy with the ending even though I had all the emotions 😭 And there is going to be a new spin off series! Deal with the Demon, The Mate Games: Pestilence Book 1.

Notable Highlights

“I may be a monster, but I am your monster. And I am done playing by the rules. If I’m going to burn anyway, I might as well enjoy myself.”

“You should check a calendar. Generally Sunday comes after Saturday.” “In our world, Sunday comes first,” Kingston muttered.

“Look at you, trying so hard to be good for your daddy. You can’t help yourself, can you, darling? You want me to spank that pretty cunt.”

“It’s like fucking Christmas Eve and we’re all waiting on your daddy to tell us a story, Thorne.” “One more comment like that, and I’ll be removing your jaw and shoving it up your arse, wolf. I’ve had just about all I can take out of you.” “Kinky,” Kingston muttered before downing half the contents of his glass.

“I didn’t realize you had a faerie kink, Lil. But where are the wings, Tinkerbell?”

“I got that mark the day you were born, a stor. You may not believe that you’ve always been mine, but I’ve been bound to you since before you drew your first breath. This mark is proof.”

“I know now that I couldn’t have prevented a single moment that came to pass. Not when we were written in the stars. We were meant to be. You and I, Sunday Fallon, were inevitable. You were my calling. And I do not regret a single second of being yours.”

“Afraid of a little magic?” I teased. “You’re just as bad as Alek.” “Alek’s scared of ghosts. I’m wary of anyone who can shrivel my dick with a spell. Which one of us has the healthier phobia?”

“I’m having my way with you, right here on the altar. It’s the only proper way for me to worship my Sunday.”

I laughed at Kingston’s eager tone. “Always motivated by food.” “You know I love to eat.” He winked at me, and I had to fight against the little flutters that set off between my legs. “My favorite is a sweet sundae all smothered in cream.”

You have been mine to save since the night you were born. You need to let me do what I was born to do. This is the reason, you see? Why He tasked me with this path. God didn’t forsake me. He knew that you would have need of me. All this time I thought I was damned, but I was destined for something greater.”

He needed me to become a monster so I could protect you from them.

“Buckle up, boys. I’m about to go full Cujo on her ass.”

...yes, child, I am Gabriel.” He stood and puffed out his chest as a warm glow radiated from him. “The Messenger of God.” “Tell him to go fuck himself.” The glow died. “I don’t think I shall. That rarely ends well.”

I was a regular fucking Boy Scout. Ready to get my merit badge for the three Ms of the wolf pack. Mount. Mark. Mate.

Maybe I’d name my dick too. Xander had a nice ring to it. Or maybe Excalibur. That was a mighty magical sword, wasn’t it? Mjölnir might be more appropriate, but that was too obvious.
