Small Recap: Madison is framed for the events that happened at the Laughing Clown on riot night. She is put in jail and put on trial, though eventually the charges are dropped, and her father sends her away to live with an aunt until things die down. Madison (M.K.) returns to find out the three guys (Archer, Max, and Kody) that framed her are now living in her father’s new house and her father goes away on vacation without waiting for her to get home.
This was my first Tate James book that I read, well actually I listened to the audiobook. This book was action-packed, suspenseful, steamy and more. Madison is a badass FMC who doesn't take shit from nobody. Her sarcastic sayings towards Archer, Max, and Kody are HILARIOUS. All of the main characters were written great. The only thing I did not like about this book is the Madison's best friend, Bri. I found her to be annoying. This book was an easy read for being a why choose book. All three men were easy to follow, and they all had their own little thing about them that you can't forget. Also, I enjoyed the little aspects of MMA that were thrown into the book.

4.75
the first 3/4 chapters really put me off and confused by but after them i got straight into the book and oh my gosh it was WOW
although MK’s character is a bit annoying at times with her taking things too far at times and being slightly immature (although it’s kinda warranted), i still love her character and the fact she actually has a backbone unlike other FMCs
also archer, kody and steele are SO FINE, i literally love all of them so much you don’t even understand. IM OBSESSED with all of them, especially my baby cakes kody <333
the smut is literally amazing aswell, deffo not the spiciest, around a 2/5 imo but it’s so well written that i loved it
THAT CLIFFHANGER THOUGH ?!? OH MY GOSH, so excited to start book 2
*the only reason for my 4.75 and not 5 is because of MK’s character at times and the beginning, otherwise an easy 5/5
