Fake by Tate James is an absolute masterpiece. Archer, oh Archer, he steals the show in this installment. His character continues to evolve, and I found myself more and more captivated by him with each passing chapter.
While I have developed a bit of a soft spot for Steele and Kody, Archer undeniably remains the heart and soul of the story for me.
One of my favorite quotes perfectly encapsulates Archer's unique blend of humor and unexpected depth: '"You guys recycle the plastic you use to transport bodies?" Archer gave me a serious look "If we don't take active steps toward a greener planet, we'll f*** it right up."' This line had me laughing out loud.
However, the ending of Fake left me utterly devastated. The cliffhanger was brutal, and I found myself ugly crying and contemplating throwing my phone at the wall.
Overall: Fake is a must-read for fans of the series. Archer's character continues to shine, and the story delivers a thrilling and emotional ride. Be warned: the ending will leave you reeling and desperate for the next book.
Recommendation: If you enjoyed Liar and are captivated by Archer's charm, you absolutely need to read Fake. Just be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster and a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more.

"Fake" by Tate James is a wild ride from start to finish. The story follows Madison Kate as she gets caught up in a whirlwind of danger and deception. The characters are well-developed and the plot is full of twists and turns that keep you hooked. The chemistry between Madison and her love interests is sizzling and adds a lot of emotional depth to the story. If you're into dark romance with a touch of mystery, "Fake" is definitely worth a read. Tate James does a great job of keeping you guessing and wanting more.

Her stalker wants to claim her now even more.. but Madison is not giving up. She wants to be free, so badly that she would everything on fire.

I stopped after chapter 1 (3%). This doesn’t feel like it works as a stand-alone so it isn’t appropriate for our libraries. However, it has the vibes of the other book, so I imagine those who liked the rest of the series will continue to like this one.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for the ARC.

This book did not disappoint! I have been wanting to read this series for everrrrrr and i absolutely loved it!

Tensions keep rising between Madison Kate and her lovers, and this is book #3 of the series. There wasn't a lot of plot movement in this book considering this book is #3 of 4 in the series. There was some decent character growth, but I feel like Madison Kate should be more suspicious of her surroundings at this point. I'd like to see how the series ends from here.

These men make you want to scream. Sometimes it is hard to switch your thoughts about someone. Archer has been such a jerk throughout the series, that it is almost hard to turn my thinking around about him even finding out more about him.
They have quite a ways to go with MK with all the things she has learned about those around her. Looking forward to the next book.

This book continues where the last left off, and more elements slowly unfold as the story goes on. I love each character so much now, and I can't wait to read the final book.

Tate James has become one of my favourite authors. I absolutely love this series. I could not wait to read this book after the cliffhanger ending in #2.
So in this book you will find:
- MK as the powerful FMC she is
- gun fights
- break ins
- stalker
- dead bodies
- fist fights
- spicy scenes
- MK & the boys scrapping their relationship back together after the brutal ending of #2!
So far this book is my favourite ❤️

OK so WOW! These books just keep getting better and better... and then BAM that ending.. WTH!!
I just LOVE the relationship that Archer and MK are building... actually the relationship she has with all of them.. The twist keep coming and I am here for it all.
I have gotten so sucked into this world that Tate James have given to us... I neeeeeeed to know what happens.. Its going to be a sad day when this series ends.. I am so thankful that I found these books and had the opportunity to dive in head first!!
Now on to the 4th..

Holy, hell. This was TOP TIER enemies turning into lovers. This was my favorite of the series. I throughly enjoyed that we got to see MK step out from under the boys and stand on her own feet. I loved her living on her own and to see her step into her own power. And Cas, ugh I love that man and hope to see him more. And to see Kody, Steele and Archer grovel their way back into her good graces was delightful. So many of our questions were answered, and yet the plot keeps evolving. Just when you think you have everything figured out, Tate pulls the rug out from under you!

The third instalment in the Madison Kate series and after the shocking revelation at the end of Liar, Madison Kate is determined to take back control of her life. She’s had enough of her three housemates who have done nothing but lie and want to control her, even the Reapers who are protecting her have their own agenda. Well, she’s about to show them she’s taking her life back on her own terms.
I was happy to see Archer finally drink the Kool-ade and get on the ‘we love Madison Kate’ train. I was beginning to think he never would. Of course, the heroine doesn’t make it easy for any of her men making them work hard for her forgiveness and I’m loving the development of their various relationships including all the ensuing passion and steam. In the meantime the action continues with stalkers, hitman, gangs and love-struck students all after a piece of Madison Kate, the hits just keep coming for our intrepid heroine and the motives why are still as clear as mud. With the danger escalating will everyone survive to see this series conclude. I don’t know. I do know that Tate James with her addictive style of writing is the queen of the cliffhanger with yet another dramatic one here and it’s the most shocking one yet!

This is the third installment of the Madison Kate series and it doesn't disappoint.
MK's relationship with Steele and Jody develops further and FINALLY, the situation with Archer progresses (fans self). Did you doubt the author's skills? She has mastered the art of grabbing your attention with storylines and flawed characters. I will admit, MK in book 1 was not my favorite. Her growth is evident, as well as the other male leads.
Still on the fence? The mystery and suspense factor will keep you invested. I promise, you'll never look at a pig farm the same way.
But wait! There's more. That cliffhanger? Will have you begging for the last book. Loved this series.

Thank you Tate James, NetGalley and Bloom Books, for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review! All thoughts are my own and left voluntarily.
Actual rating: 2,5 stars
This could easily be trilogy. Too many unnecessary and dragged out scenes.
Because of how addicting and easy to read this was, I actually had somewhat good time reading it. You know, the same feelings I got when I read other author's duology. It was so absurd and dramatic, that it became like a comedy to me. This is the same situation with MK series. So many situations and characterizations could be improved, but what did we get? Let me tell you:
1. Repetition, repetition, repetition.
2. Plot is somewhere between all the nonsense and cheesy interactions. With a dash of *drama*. Stalker and hitman plot was so dragged out.
3. Since the beginning, I never was MK fan. I don't know why, but I just don't like her that much. I don't get her why a lot of people label her badass. I guess I have different ideas about that. I experienced so many cringe moments with her, that I had enough of it for the rest of the year. Her ''I will get my revenge / I will show you my wrath / I will never forgive you'' threats were just that. Pranks with salt or hair dye, some 'stern words' and then after 2 sec - sexy time. Have a backbone for at least 2 chapters and stay true to your word, and not jump someone's d**k right after you say ''ohh, I will hurt you as much as you all hurt me''. You can't get both. girl!
4. Still don't care about Archer. He could as well be a ghost.
5. I wanted to scratch my eyes every time when I saw words ' girl' , 'babe' or use of full name (honestly, I don't know why it bothers me but it does). I lost the count of my 'fav' words throughout the books.
6. We actually know so little about boys - pretty much all that you will remember is: Archer - angry fighter, who likes rain, Steele - pierced musician who's pro with guns and Kody - trainer who likes pizza and word 'babe'. Like, ok. I feel so attached.
7. 'Twists' that does not make sense/were not necessary.
Perplexing - I wanted to give up on these books, but I still wanted to see how this will be wrapped up. Masochist much, I guess.

I’m totally addicted to this series! I know I’m late to the game but I normally steer clear of what most people consider “bad a$$” heroines but I really like MK. I was hoping that the back and forth with Archer would have stopped before this 3rd book but that didn’t bother me too bad.
If you love secrets, twists and turns and 3 hot, overprotective guys. This is a series for you.
![](https://netgalley-profiles.s3.amazonaws.com/avatar23958-micro.png?1738778950)
Although this one was slower than the others it was so worth the read. Man I love these books and can not wait for more. And these new covers are gorgeous!! The characters were amazing and I could not put this down.

Well. Tate James. You are a cruel cruel woman. How could you do that to us? That cliffhanger ripped my heart out. Luckily, I have book four already loaded on my kindle. Big thanks to Bloom Books for my ARC copies!
So after the cliffhanger hanger of book two, I went into this book totally ready for Archer to finally be a big boy and share his feelings. Thankfully, the author didn't make me wait too long. Archer our little ray of sunshine just made his way to my top fav. I read the first 60% off this book in one sitting and finished the rest in the next. Yes. I'm still addicted. There is so much action and just shocking discoveries to keep me flipping pages. I wasn't planning to dive into book four right away since I have some other ARCs that need my attention but, after that cliffhanger, it's safe to say that good intention is history.
Thank you to the author and Bloom Books for this copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the most thrilling five-star read. I am so eager to get stuck into number four right now!! My goodness the pace in this story is intense, the writing is so well done you can feel your heart pumping in worry for MK, and everyone else in her life. The pace of this whole series has been great, you get a little, then you think you have a little more, then boom its all taken away and you are left lost again, and wondering who is the bad guy really, as they are all a little bad, but some in a very good way. MK seems to be descending as well, but how far will she go. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, as this whole series has kept me on my toes, but this one seems to have it all, normally a third book is the one that transitions us to the end, but this one really held its own. Now off I am to dive into number four!! Will we finally find out who they are?

Once again the queen of cliffhangers has struck! The fact that this is a completed series is a stress reliever!
