Kate by Tate James
4.0
- Heroine: Madison Kate (MK)
- Harem: Steele, Kody, Arch
- POVs Included: Single Female POV (MK) except first chapter is Steele POV
- Book Playlist (Reverse Harem Romance Playlist)
The final book about MK and her reverse harem was exciting, gripping, and shocking!
In this book we start off with Steele having been shot and recovering in the hospital. In the meantime MK and the guys have come up with a plan to lure her enemies out on their terms — a fake (but real) wedding between her and Archer (even though they are already married on paper).
Of course, chaos ensues throughout the book… They finally kill the guy who put a hit out on MK (her uncle) in the first place and MK officially inherits the biggest diamond mine in the world (wha! wha!). And they also finally kill her creepy stalker who turns out to be another one of her uncles who was her mom’s twin brother and supposed to have been dead.
It’s all very telenovela-esk. lol CRAZY amounts of drama and twists and turns. But it’s all entertaining and fun to read, of course. I do think that the plot would’ve been a little less insane if it had focused on EITHER the hit man or stalker. Nonethesless, it was still super fun to read
I gotta say though, I’m a little disappointed in how the whole mystery of these two plot arcs turned out simply because it wasn’t a mystery we could’ve possibly solved. The people involved weren’t really introduced until this book and we weren’t given any clues to give us any chance of solving it. I suppose it was supposed to be more of a suspense than a mystery, but I was still trying to solve it along the way with (obviously) no success since we didn’t actually get any valid clues about who the hit man and stalker actually were. Oh well.
But, I digress. When it comes to the characters though, I adore MK and her guys. Nothing but good vibes for them and their awesome personalities. They are a little cray-cray and a bit killer-crazy. But I kinda like that for dark romances so I’m cool with it. They only kill bad people so it’s all good.
My ONLY issue with the characters is that, as much as I loved all the boys’ personalities, we still know virtually nothing about Kody and Steele’s backgrounds. We learned a bit about Steele’s twin sister Rachel and how is parents are assholes, but that’s it. Kody we witness on a phone call with his mom who seems perfectly nice. How did these guys end up in a gang as kids? We don’t know anything about that. And as much as I loved their personalities, I had to remove a star for this reason. We had four books to fit in some history about them and it still didn’t happen. We got Archer’s history, so it seems sloppy that we didn’t get theirs too.
This book does incorporate one TINY thing that is a bit of a book kink of mine. It’s kinda random, but I’m a sucker for it. So when two guys are dp-ing a girl it drives me wild when the guys comment on how it feels or like talk about feeling the other guy. Something like that. It’s so random and not full-on m/m interaction, but still an intimate interaction that I love to see between the guys. I go nuts for this for some reason and this one has it when Kody comments on Steele’s dick piercings while they are dp-ing MK. Loved this! Lol random! But it’s something I loved.
Overall, this series is fabulously entertaining. Just plain good crazy drama RH fun times. Loved it and binged them all in a matter of days. Good stuff!
