<— REJECTED MATE ALERT!!! Ohhhhh we love those. So much angst and pining and pain. YAY!!! In books, always and only in books. 😉 R.L. Mathewson is celebrating her latest release in big fashion! She’s sponsoring tomorrow’s Friday Finds newsletter, and she’s sent us some fun facts about this book, the series and she’s giving away TWO $50 gift cards (I will randomly select two lucky commenters who will each get one). 😀
So what’s it about?
Revenge and fate come together in the seventh installment of the Pyte/Sentinel Series as New York Times bestselling author R.L. Mathewson tells the story of how one of the deadliest shifters in our world is finally brought to his knees.
He couldn’t kill her.
Their mating mark would never allow it, but it would allow him to walk away and never look back. But that wasn’t a choice, not when Kale knew just how dangerous his mate could become if she ever lost control. His plan is simple, keep her safe, out of his way, and focus on the only thing that mattered. He didn’t need her, didn’t want her, and…
He couldn’t stop thinking about her.
No matter how many times Kale tries, he can’t stay away from her and god, does he try. With a bounty on his head and shifters, demons, and vampires doing everything they could to find him, the last thing that Kale needs is to fall in love with his mate.
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
No one was supposed to find her. At least, that was the plan, but somehow the incredibly sexy shifter that loved to glare had found her and now…
She was finally where she belonged.
The only problem was, Ashley had no idea why, but she wasn’t going to complain. Not when things were finally making sense. What she was going to do was pretend that the shifter that hated her didn’t make her want things that she couldn’t have. She just needed to lay low, pretend that she had no idea why anyone would be after her, and hope that her secrets didn’t tear them apart.

ABOUT THE SERIES:
There are now 7 books in this series. It’s paranormal romance with shifters, Sentinels, vampires, demons, and Pytes, which are exclusive to this series.
Pyte Blurb:
Pytes live in a world where their immortality, strength, speed, and ability to withstand the sun should make them gods on earth. Instead, they are forced to live in fear. Their ability to create a stronger, more powerful army of vampires has Masters all over the world waging wars to find them and Sentinels determined to do whatever it takes to get to them first.
Even as they fight for their freedom, they know that one day they’ll have to choose a side…
Excerpt:
“I-I would never hurt anyone,” Ashley mumbled absently as she stumbled back.
“And we’ll never find out if that’s true,” Kale said as he continued following her, noting the nervous glances that she kept sending the door and the way that she winced with every sound barely above a whisper.
“Why haven’t you slipped into bloodlust?” Kale wondered, following her as he noted that she’d lost weight, the way that she’d gone pale when he bit into his wrist, the fact that she wasn’t running for the front door, and how she noticeably struggled to stop looking at the blood dripping down his hand.
“I don’t know,” Ashley said, licking her lips nervously as she continued backing away from him.
“You took your transition well,” Kale pointed out, watching her closely.
She snorted at that. “Of course, I took it well. Why wouldn’t I? I looked like a little girl before this.”
“I’m not talking about that,” he said, thinking about her reaction the moment that she’d realized she wasn’t human, the way she’d reacted when her eyes turned red and she spotted her fangs in the mirror.
Her reaction had been more curious than surprised. She hadn’t panicked, freaked out, screamed, cried, or reacted like a woman who had no idea about all those things that go bump in the night should have. The same could be said for when Jacob had been forced to shift in front of her to fix his broken arm. She’d been terrified. There was no question about that, but there had also been a haunted look in her eye as though she’d seen it before. She also hadn’t argued or flipped out over the fact that she needed to drink blood, something that she definitely should have been upset about. Instead, she’d resigned herself to the fact that she required blood for the rest of her life without question, leaving him with more questions.
“You’re not telling me something,” Kale said as he stalked her around the small bedroom.
Licking her lips nervously, Ashley said, “Neither are you,” as she continued to move away from him.
“And I’m not going to,” Kale murmured quietly as he watched her bump into the bed only to quickly climb over it with a curse so that she could put the bed between them.
“Then neither am I,” she said with a firm nod, trying to sound tough, but the way that she worried her bottom lip killed the effect, making her look fucking adorable.
Nodding, Kale shifted to the right and began moving around the bed. “I know one thing.”
“What’s that?” Ashley asked, stumbling back away from the bed as she looked around frantically for somewhere to run.
“You’ve been around shifters before,” Kale said, watching as she quickly closed her mouth into a firm line, it was a small move, but a telling one.
“Which Pack?” he asked, moving closer as he scented the air, looking for any trace of shifter blood on her, but he couldn’t scent any. The only thing that he could smell was the telltale scent of Pyte and fear as she backed up towards the bedroom door. He followed her, refusing to let her go as he watched her, knowing that he was right.
“What’s going on?” Jacob asked as he walked back inside.
“Ashley was just about to tell me,” Kale said, watching her struggling not to panic as she reached down and yanked her shorts back up while she continued backing up, refusing to take her eyes off him.
Smart girl, Kale thought as he allowed his fangs to slide down, watching as her eyes took in the move and had to wonder how she’d managed to escape. She’d been trapped in the body of a child, weak, and easily controlled.
“Did the Pack have an Alpha?” Kale asked, noting the way that her jaw clenched in response.
He could understand a Pack without an Alpha fucking up and letting her escape, but an Alpha…
Would have torn her throat out to make sure that another Pack couldn’t get their hands on her. It left him with more questions that unfortunately for her, he didn’t have time for.
Deciding that they’d played this game long enough, Kale grabbed Ashley and shoved her against the wall. Before she could react, he had his fangs pressed against her throat in warning. As soon as she felt the sharp tips pressed against her skin, she went still as he forced himself to ignore just how good she smelled and released a warning growl, one that had her swallowing hard and her heart racing. He waited for the scent of fear to hit him before he pulled back just enough so that he could speak without risking breaking her skin, knowing just how dangerous her blood was.
“Have you ever seen someone’s throat ripped out?” Kale asked as he leaned back in and carefully ran the tips of his fangs over her soft skin.
“Y-yes,” came the weakly mumbled answer that had him pulling back.
“Who?” Kale asked, watching as her expression grew sad.
“My mother.”

Oh this sounds so good! I cannot wait to read and see what happens between them! One of my favorite rejected mate books is Her Defenders!
I read some of these books a long time ago and just started listening to the audio books to get into the “Halloween spirit.” I forgot how phenomenal and funny they were. I’m currently listening to Without Regret, which is a rejected mate story and its awesome! Can’t wait to get to Kale’s story! Thanks for the chance!! ❤
RL is one of my absolute favorites! Never disappointed with her stuff. 😃
I do love the immortals after dark series and quite a few have rejected mate! This sounds amazing
Ooh favorite rejected mate would have to be Drew and Kara from Fated from the fabulous R.L. Mathewson of course. Just something about that couple I love so much.
I haven’t really read rejected mate stories but I do love R.L.’s writing and stories so I think I need to check this out!
Loved this book. I love all her books.
Although I LOVE them all, Kale has always and will always be my favorite. Ms. R L Mathewson still has not fixed the spelling of Kale’s mate though!! It is MICHELLE!!! 😆 🤣
Just read this when it came out! Couldn’t put it down and it makes you want to re-read all the others in the series. You will laugh, swoon, and also get damn irritated with the author because she’s a genius who likes to make you read until you finish the book without putting it down! (Get ready to lose sleep if you start it late) Love it like all the others and you will also!
I absolutely love her books
I like the humor idea. We all need to smile more.
I really enjoy this series! I love the way she writes.
I can’t wait to read it!

I LOVE this series!!! Have been waiting for Kane’s book!!!
I have not read this author yet but it looks good. I am going to go download the first book in the series now.
R.L. is my absolute favorite. Life can be so unexpected and heavy at times and her books are just what my soul needs. Great humor, sweet, fun and sexy stories that just have me smiling even long after I’ve put my reader down. My biggest struggle is I race through the book and then force myself to slow down and take breaks because I’m left on pins and needles once I’m done. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve re-read a series.
R.L. Mathewson never disappoints. I absolutely loved Unstoppable!!! 🥰🔥📚
One of my fav rejected mates storylines was between Anita and Richard in the Anita Blake series…talk about some hate sex, LOL!
