I loved this story so much. I was dragged in from the very beginning. I was gasping on the edge of my seat. I was swooning and fanning myself. I was heartbroken at times and at times I adored how much heart was actually in this story. It is an intense and passionate friends-to-lovers rollercoaster and I did not want to finish. I wanted it to keep going. I can't wait to see what is next from Marie Force.

Loved it!
This was an awesome end to the Quantum series! It's ironic because when Marie started the series, I was hesitant to read it with the BDSM being such a departure from her other work and what I normally read, but the characters and stories were so well developed and complex and interesting that you immediately loved them, and now I'm sad to say goodbye. I didn't expect to enjoy Marlowe's story as much, because I don't like the Dominatrix/submissive male trope at all, but I knew Marie would write a great story, and she exceeded my expectations! Her top notch dialogue and ability to juggle and weave multiple interpersonal relationships into a story are second to none! And can I just say that Sebastian was the dark horse of the group as far as book boyfriends go! Wow!! If you want lots of heat, emotion, love, drama, banter, and more heat, check out this book and the rest of the series!!❤️

Well written, and different from what I typically gravitate toward, Famous explores the BDSM lifestyle in a way that is thoughtful, romantic, and compelling. This is the first of the series that I've read, and may have to go back and read the rest, even though BDSM novels aren't typically my thing.
TW: physical and emotional abuse.

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!
