The Alpha's Gamble

Mismatched Mates Series, Book 10

De: Eliot Grayson

Narrado por: Chris Chambers

Cut off from his family—and more importantly, the family fortune—Blake Castelli stakes his future on one last throw of the dice: he'll go to Las Vegas and use his line of credit at the Morrigan casino to replenish his bank account.

But the Morrigan's under new ownership. And while Blake doesn't remember handsome, arrogant Declan MacKenna from their ill-fated encounter ten years ago, Declan remembers him. And he wants payback.

Declan offers Blake a humiliating, degrading deal he has no choice but to take even though it's all kinds of wrong. While Blake may be an alpha werewolf, so is Declan—and he out-alphas Blake at every turn. Blake shouldn't enjoy what Declan does to him. He shouldn't crave things no alpha should ever accept. Declan's turned him into someone he doesn't recognize helpless, needy, and out of control.

Declan wants to keep hating Blake, but he can't. Blake wants to trust Declan, but that's impossible. When magical and mundane attacks threaten them both, Blake has nowhere to turn. If Declan doesn't realize his feelings run deeper than desire in time to save them both, they could lose everything . . . even their lives.

Contains mature themes.

the best

I love love love this book so much i has to buy it and read it every week

Perfect combo

I cannot get enough of the combination of Eliot Grayson's characters and stories, and Chris Chambers' velvet voice. Declan's accent is the cherry on top.

Hard Read but still good

I have to agree that there were parts of this book that was hard for me to keep going with it but I wanted to see the hopefully good end which it was a good end but an odd one. if you don't want to read about technically extrortion that plays a fine line to sexual assault this isn't a book for you. its not ideal for me either but I did hope things would get better for them which it did. out of the whole series I think this was the hardest for me as SA is something I don't agree with but it was technically consensual as the one being extorted for sex did agree cause he didn't want to go to prison for fraud but he also was very messed up from family issues so it's hard for me to think he had really been okay with it at first. I did stick around cause I think all the books had hard to read parts but all really were great reads and made me keep going with the series. this one was definitely the hardest for me but I do still think it was worth it.

Is this a book about S/A turned to love??? Huh, What

This was a hate listen. Blake was an inconsiderate,neglected person. All the interaction from the previous book he is terrible but he’s a product of his family. Declan seemed to have been an honorable man except for his hate for Blake. I didn’t feel like Blake’s offense was equal to his punishment. Declan went to far.He could have made him work as a Bell boy. Yes, Blake agreed to the terms but underlying family issues is why he accepted being assaulted regularly. I hate that Blake’s mindset was bad attention is better than none, but at that point he didn’t have anyone to turn to. I don’t understand at all how Declan came to love Blake. He mistreated Blake for the entire book and this story doesn’t really give his pov. When he felt a little guilty he did small things , to make himself feel better. Even the ending he disrespects Blake and they both eat it up. The rings,the knotting. Bottom line. I hated this story and continued listening hoping Blake who grew as a person would have walked away from Declan and made up with his brother Brooke.

Two Alphas, Explosive Chemistry!

Blake Castelli and Declan MacKenna are both stubborn alphas, and watching them clash and slowly fall for each other was pure perfection. High‑stakes danger, family drama, and incredible chemistry made this impossible to stop listening to. Eliot Grayson delivers heat, heart, and humor every time—this might be my favorite yet!
