About this listen

 'Lana is the undisputed queen of anything Omegaverse! She writes the best sex scenes and her stories never fail to make me laugh! Lana has mastered the art of the spicy romcom, and The Mating Game is another homerun from her!' Ali Hazelwood, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author

Two wolf shifters reluctant to love discover there's no fighting the call of the wild in this steamy romance by USA Today bestselling author Lana Ferguson.

Contractor Tess Covington has spent her entire life as a regular non-shifter human, so after she lands in the Denver ER with flu-like symptoms, it comes as a complete shock to be told that, no, she's not sick - she's actually a late-presenting omega wolf shifter. With her family in dire financial straits and a contract for her own television show on the line, she can't afford not to complete the renovation job she came for. And given that her newly emerged wolf is in danger of going into heat, she'll just have to do her best to follow the doctor's advice to keep away from alpha shifters.

Alpha wolf Hunter Barrett has spent most of his adult life living by a routine, and a big part of that involves staying clear of omegas after having one stomp on his heart. So when the tiny contractor shows up at his place smelling like the one thing he's determined to avoid, he thinks it must be some sort of cosmic joke. But with his lodge on the verge of failing and this sweet-smelling omega his only hope to turn things around . . . he's left with few other options than to grin and bear it.

Set on avoiding each other as much as possible, they find things unexpectedly starting to heat up between them enough to thaw even the frostiest of hearts. Though even with the pair going head over paws for each other, there's no changing that their fling has an expiration date. The more time they spend together, the more they realize they're playing a dangerous game - one where the only thing on the line is their hearts.

Lana Ferguson can do no wrong. I devoured this book, much like I have every other she has published. She is truly the expert of having her characters yearn for each other. I also appreciate she isn’t does not use a third act break up in any of her books.

The narrators did an amazing job in this duet. It was absolutely perfect. I could picture the characters so clearly through the narrators voice and it truly had me captivated the entire time.

The voice acting was great, story was funny, cringey and great romantic fluff which is what I enjoy the most. This is the third book I've listened to by Lana Ferguson and I think I'm now officially a loyal fan.

entertaining and enjoyable
