I really do like this book. More than I expect. It is a very interesting to see both of the main characters are Doms. Usually the hero is the Dom and the heroine is the sub. It is very refreshing that Miss Force put a bit twist on her story. Miss Force slowly becoming my new favorite author. Her writing is so good. The theme is simple but with that sweet twist.
In this book, Sebastian is not just a tough alpha male hero, but he is also vulnerable. He is not afraid to show his feeling to Marlowe. And I am swooning over him. He is this perfect Dom. I never read other book in this series, but I do want to read other books in this series.
Oh BTW, this book has many triggers especially domestic abuse. The character chemistry is off the chart and the sex is hot as a BDSM.
I enjoy it very much.

This pairing didn't surprise me. I do have a few points where it fell really super flat for me:
1) of all the Quantum series books as far as I can remember all the characters are white (or maybe white passing?-maybe someone will correct me here) which is fine but also the first of this series is written in 2015 and the setting is LA so a bit unrealistic but more importantly- in Famous the hero is not white- which is great- but the representation is off putting- just like a bam- here's your diversity character with not as much development as I would have liked- except the part that stuck out for me is that he was from Compton and was previously part of a gang. Left some major ick factors (playing into lots of stereotypes) here even if he does end up being a generally sweet person.
2) the interruptions of other characters getting a second epilogue in this book was slightly off putting but also I'm sure readers demanded it so I get it
3) there was a really random character (Quisha) the "trans woman I recently hired" which was not expanded on- just throwing some random person into this world that is LGBTQIA+?

I can't believe this amazing series has come to an end. But wow does it go out with a bang. With a story that is stunningly captivating and enthralling. As well as brutally raw, honest, funny, genuine and extremely relatable. And I completely adored Sebastian, who really comes into his own and turns out to be the perfect guy for Marlowe. Who is equally fantastic; and as two people who love to dominate I was extremely intrigued to find out how that would work when they explored a relationship together. Yet for me this story is about so much more than BDSM and it really hits on emotions and issues that are exceedingly relevant. And I truly adored every moment of it, plus, I loved how well all the other couples were included in some ways and how the epilogue perfectly rounded things off not only for Marlowe and Sebastian, but Natalie and Flynn and, all the other couples at Quantum. And I would highly recommend Famous and the Quantum Series itself to all.

As they say, "All great things have to come to an end" and that unfortunately is the Quantum series. This is one of those series that you can re-read over and over, again and again, I have done just that many times. This final book in the series was Marlowe's story and oh was it a story! This book had me gasping for breath and devastated within the first few chapters but just as quickly I was as utterly captivated and enamored with this scorching sexy page turner. I highly recommend this book.... this series because it's one that will consume you day and night!

Quantum.... This is the absolute best series ever and I hate to see it come to an end. These characters and their journey to HEA were never easy. These books, Famous included, also provided us with laughs, lust, love and angst, but in the end these amazing characters found their happily ever after.
Marlowe is such a badass and I hate to see what she had to go through with Rafe. She wants what her best friends have, so she overlooks things that she normally wouldn’t. Sebastian is full of hatred and rage when he finds Marlowe and the shape that she is in. As Marlowe spends time with Sebastian, away from the spotlight, the feelings that have stayed hidden for so long start to surface BUT what will Seb do when someone from his past comes back for him?
Love Famous and Joyous and will definitely revisit these books and characters, because they are some of my favorites.
Thank You, Marie Force, for writing the Quantum series for us fans!

A solid ending to a great series!
Marlowe's story was so much fun to read! The beginning was absolutely heartbreaking--OMG, reading about what happened to her made me hurt--but watching her rise above it, own it, and find her own HEA was just wonderful. It was all I could do not to stand up and cheer when she had her press conference toward the end, and by the time we got to the epilogue? I have no words :)
For fans of the series, you'll love seeing all of the other characters here--toward the end, we even see sections of the story from POVs other than the hero and heroine of this book, which was a lot of fun. Other series characters also get even closer to forever HEAs than they had been previously :)
If you haven't read the other books (or just not all of them, like me) this could work as a standalone, since Marlowe and her hero's only relationship earlier in the series is one of friendship. It's still one heck of a story read on its own, but if you've read the others you'll love seeing how the other characters end up at the end. (TBH, if you haven't read the other books before reading this one, your TBR pile will probably grow by 7...)

I have been a huge fan of this series and am sad that is over. This book did not disappoint. Sebastian was a wonderful, if conflicted, main character. We learn about his background and everything makes sense. Marlowe was a fascinating character with a ripped from the headlines story that was handled very well as Ms. Force always does. I loved the characters together. The path felt appropriate. I wondered how the author would handle two doms together and it was masterful and made sense in the story. If I could have one thing more, it would have been one chapter where we see Marlowe and Sebastian with their friends, individually or together, after they were sealed as a couple. I loved the epilogue and was glad we got updates on everyone in the Quantum world.

A perfect conclusion to this delightful series!
Not only did Marie Force write fantastically organic friends-to-lovers after years and years of pining romance but also managed to seamlessly incorporate glimpses at all the other beloved couples from the series.
Just what I needed while everything seems to go wrong before the holidays, I was wise to save it up till now, although not intentionally.
