Synopsis
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.**

Review
This book was provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Kel Carpenter and Aurelia Jane!
Mate Me is the first standalone book in the third season of the Immortal Vices and Virtues: Shadow Shifter Bonds, and tells the story of Reagan and Caius.
When I read the news that there's going to be a third season of the Immortal Vices and Virtues books, I got so excited. This Fantasy Romance universe is so amazing. The stories, the characters, and the world are so cool, and I love that each book is written by a different author (duo). The first Immortal Vices and Virtues season is an eleven-book series where the main character finds her true mate, and the second Immortal Vices and Virtues: Her Monstrous Mates season is a six-book series where the main character finds her multiple mates. So there are definitely books in this universe for everyone!
The third season is about the shadow shifters and Tartarus, and the first book starts with the king of Tartarus, Caius. And let me tell you that I love him. He's so caring and patient, and I loved the effort he put into Reagan. Reagan is not your typical female lead who instantly falls in love with the hot male lead, lol. Not at all! But the more you get into the story, the more she tries to open up to Caius. I really liked Caius and Reagan's story, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the other characters from Tartarus.
Mate Me was another amazing book in the Immortal Vices and Virtues world, and I didn't expect anything else! I truly love reading every book in the series. They're all so amazing, and I highly recommend them! I'm also really loving the Tartarus world, and I'm excited to get to read more about the other characters. I'm so ecstatic that there's a third Immortal Vices and Virtues season, and I hope they won't stop making new seasons!
