“You’re the reason my heart beats.”

I will start by saying that I was given an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review. Thank so much Meg and Kim for sending a copy my way!

This is a sequel; I will try and keep my review as spoiler free as possible but just be wary if you haven’t read The Mate Games: War, The Mate Games: Pestilence and The Mate Games: Death

Turns out happily ever after isn’t what the storybooks promised.

We thought it was over, that we’d earned a peaceful life filled with love and tender moments. We couldn’t have been more wrong.

With Sunday and our sweet Eden at the center of our group, the four of us are more protective than ever, so when I’m called to return as Headmaster of Ravenscroft University, I assume our family is safe.

You’d think I would’ve learned my lesson by now. No one is ever truly safe. Especially not with all the obstacles in our path.


An uneasy wolf pack.

Unfinished business with the Shadow Court.

An adorable menace with far more power than should be possible.

And a ghost I never expected to see again.


So much for enjoying retirement. It seems fate isn’t done with us yet, because happily ever after isn’t an ending at all.

No, it’s only the beginning.

Devotion is another fantastic addition to The Mate Games universe. It has everything we’ve come to expect from K. Loraine and Meg Anne – high steam, banter and a dramatic over-the-top plot, which is a wild, fun ride. The ending has left me desperate for the next series, The Mate Games: Apocalypse.

This novella takes place after the events of The Mate Games: War, The Mate Games: Pestilence & The Mate Games: Death, so please wait to read this one. I loved being back with Sunday and her guys since it’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen them. I adore the little domestic bliss moments we get as we see the group try to navigate parenthood, spend time together and navigate the rising tension with Kingson’s pack. I adored seeing that Kingston, Alec, Noah and Caleb have perfected their dynamic and have found ways to balance their time with Sunday, even if Kingston always wants to butt in. Kingson’s antics left me howling in laughter. He really is a dramatic soul who needs to be involved in everything.

I know I say this all the time, but I am not really one to care for kids in books. But there was something about watching Kingston, Alec, Noah and Caleb take care of their daughter Eden, which just melted my heart and exploded my ovaries. They are so good with her! I love the scene with the goldfish crackers. Poor Alec has his hands full for sure.

True to form for this writing duo, we have a plot twist that’s straight out of a soap opera. And I loved every second of it. I adore just how self-aware the story is, with one of the characters even commenting that their life feels like something out of a TV show.

Devotion was so much fun and helped to feed my addiction to this series. I loved being back with Sunday and the gang so much that I wanted to read The Mate Games: War. And I am beyond excited to pick up the next series when it starts releasing next year. If you love paranormal romance and the why choose trope, The Mate Games series is for you. No, seriously, you need to read it. It is completely additive with the spiciest spice, dramatic plots and character that will steal your heart.
