The Love Game

Hellion Club, Book 3

By: Aiden Bates

Narrated by: Mark Ruben

Can reality television help them find love, or will ratings and drama pull them apart forever?

“Troubled” doesn’t even begin to cover Scott’s childhood, but he’s doing okay for himself. He has a place with his best friend and a career he enjoys. It’s not exactly a high-paying career, and he has to work two jobs just to make ends meet, but he can keep himself safe and that’s the important thing. The last thing he wants it to get married, never mind married to a stranger for a television show.

When his best friend decides to audition for the hit reality show Make It Work, Scott agrees to go along for moral support. No one is more shocked than he is when he’s selected as that season’s omega groom.

Danny Magee’s life has gone according to plan so far. He went to college at 14. He graduated at 16, took his company public at 20. He made his first billion at 25. Now he’s a member of the elite Hellion Club. The only thing he hasn’t achieved is starting a family. Since he hasn’t had much luck meeting people with his busy schedule, he takes a friend’s advice and signs on to Make It Work.

Neither Scott nor Danny are impressed with the other at first. As they’re forced to live with one another, their bad first impression starts to ease into friendship and then something more. Scott arouses Danny’s protective instincts, and Danny gives Scott the support he needs to move forward.

But healthy relationships and healing don’t bring in ratings. Other forces are at work to increase the tension on the happy couple. Can their love for one another overcome the need for higher ratings, or will malice win the day?

A really great story :)

What I really, really liked in this story is that it present us with very serious issues of childhood abuse and it doesn't magically heal them.

The relationship between Scott and Danny advance slowly and organically, and it was so great to see them talk through their issues! Even when the troubles arise, is easy to understand their positions; Scott's self-doubts and Danny's fears are logical, and their reactions easy to understand. Yes, they are frustrating at times, but it's never because you can't understand their motivations. I maybe would like that the villains weren't as utterly villainous, but, oh, well! you love to hate them, so I think it's alright :P

Mark Ruben does a great job with the narration :)

💘 Heartwarming

Wow, couldn't stop listening to this Super Heartwarming story. Good VS Evil people in the world. Think this is my new favorite written by Aiden Bates.
Mark Ruben did a super job with this audio.

Scott and Danny so good!

What an interesting story and had some twists in it to keep you wanting more. I love the series and it’s great to be familiar with each story.

A great book!

I loved the concept of the reality game show. Aiden Bates did an amazing job writing it!
While Mark Ruben’s narration wasn’t bad, his voice didn’t do it for me. He gave life to this audiobook and gave each character a different voice. I just don’t love his voice in general. But it’s definitely worth a listen!

Sadly sweet

Oh this one nearly broke my heart through the whole thing, such lack of communication. It was a sadly sweet story with a HEA. Narration is ok overall a nice addition to the series.
