KATE (Madison Kate) Paperback – October 26, 2020

Madison Kate is a new adult/college age dark romance with enemies to lovers/hate to love themes. This is a reverse harem series, meaning the leading lady has several love interests and she doesn't have to choose between them for her happily ever after. If this isn't your cup of tea, then this isn't the series for you. ♥


KATE is book 4 of 4 in the MADISON KATE series. The blurb below may contain spoilers for previous books, and I urge you not to read it until you've finished HATE, LIAR and FAKE.


◆◆◆



“I never miss.”

Riot Night changed my life.

Coming back to Shadow Grove turned it on its head.

I’ve been hunted, stabbed, stalked, tormented, and used. Hate fueled me, lies tore me apart, and in the end everything I thought I knew turned out to be fake.

Except… Riot Night also brought Archer, Kody, and Steele back into my life. No matter how much I’ve fought it, hated it, been lied to or discovered the deceptions—I want them in my life.

No one owns me.

No one is taking them away.

This is my life, dammit, and these guys are mine to keep.

If a war is what it takes, then a war is what they'll get.

I have loved the Madison Kate series from the beginning but Kit Davenport was still my number one...until Kate. From the crazy twists, SEVERAL hot sex scenes and the general growth love between Kate and the guys it was he too book to date. I cannot wait for Hades’s story. 🖤

5.0 out of 5 stars the explosive conclusion to the MK series

Prepare to be utterly consumed by the explosive conclusion to the MK series in Kate by Tate James.

From the gripping opening line—"I never miss."—to the heart-stopping final showdown, Tate James delivers a masterful conclusion that will leave readers breathless. In this thrilling installment, MK's journey comes full circle as she navigates the treacherous waters of love, betrayal, and redemption.

Riot Night changed everything, but returning to Shadow Grove turns MK's world upside down once again. She's been hunted, stabbed, and tormented, but through it all, she's discovered an unshakeable resolve and an unwavering determination to protect those she loves. With Archer, Kody, and Steele by her side, MK is ready to take on anything—even if it means waging war against those who seek to tear them apart.

Tate James expertly crafts a narrative that is both darkly compelling and irresistibly romantic. With its enemies-to-lovers and hate-to-love themes, Kate delves deep into the complexities of relationships and the power of love to overcome even the greatest of obstacles. As MK grapples with her own demons and confronts the lies and deceptions that have plagued her, she emerges stronger and more resilient than ever before.

With its pulse-pounding action, steamy romance, and unexpected twists, Kate is a fitting conclusion to a series that has captivated readers from the very beginning. Whether you're a fan of reverse harem romance, dark fiction, or gripping mysteries, this book is sure to satisfy your craving for a thrilling and unforgettable read.

Overall, I completely enjoyed the plot - Tate did a great job of using nuggets of information throughout to really blow your mind! Trying to do this spoiler free but I was very impressed with the stalker/murderer wrap up! I do wish we had some deeper connections shown with MK and her guys. The spice was great and definitely not lacking! 🙌🏻 This next Hades series has piqued my interest no doubt!

5 stars, enjoyed the series- a lot. I read tons of smut and this brought me out of a slump of not wanting to read so thanks for that.

The part where she’s giving head to a guy with multiple dick piercings though? Let’s keep that in fiction. That’s how you break a tooth. Try explaining that to your dental professional.

Final thoughts for this 10 million star series:

MK: truly a badass. her character development was so good and in the midst of all the chaos she never faltered.

Cass: I just love you ya big bad “old guy”😆 I hope I get more of him in the next series becusse I just adored him.

Steele: still my favorite. Idc Idc Idc. I see so many people saying Arch is their fave and I’m sorry I just can’t jump on that train. he’s grown on me for sure but Steele will always be #1, especially learning how much he cared for MK when they were younger too

Kody: sweetest of sweets. “you’re my penguin” 😍😭

Archer: ya grew on me big man, ya did. but you were still a big jerk sometimes.

the fact that the series itself ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, truly evil Tate. now I absolutely have to jump right into the Hades series but I can’t say I’m sad about it. I’m not quite ready to leave Shadow Grove in my rear view just yet!

What an ending!! These boys are ride or die for Mk, and that really shows in this book. Lots of our questions were finally answered, and definitely in ways that I wasn’t expecting. If I could give any criticism, there was so much spice, that I felt like it was a little excessive. BUT that’s not to say it was repetitive spice, Tate really gave us a lot of options 🤣. Truly this was my favorite who choose I’ve ever read. The stocker, the bounty on her head, the side characters.. I was so captured I couldn’t put it down. This is absolutely a series you need to have all of the books in your kindle or purchased and ready to go.

Ugh, part of me wanted to be upset at how quickly she forgives the guys, but I get it. I mean, I was in love with them too. However, I do think Madison Kate was kind of a weakling when it came to them.

Oh, well, I will be reading Hades next and then the novella!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent series
Reviewed in Canada on August 2, 2022

It's been a long time now since a series has kept me interested past half of the second book. I couldn't put this one down. The story was intense and kept me engaged and wondering whodunit? The men were hot and had their own personalities. The cookie cutter harem men is such a let-down in a lot of rh books.

I would have liked to see more in the guys lives and from their perspective, but it's not a huge issue.

I can honestly say the author had me wondering the entire series who the stalker was, I usually guess the bad guy pretty quickly. Dallas, Bree, Cass, The Barkers, Lane??

The anger and resentment was honest and believable. I loved that MK knew her limitations and made choices that were sensible. No plot devices of fmc doing stupid shit and needing the guys to rescue her. She learns and grows through it. She's not perfect though and I really enjoyed her as a character.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this series.

Consiglio di leggere i volumi precedenti per capire meglio i personaggi, le dinamiche tra di loro ed il background generale. Max fortunatamente è vivo ed Archer decide di sposare Madison in modo ufficiale, come piano per eliminare i potenziali killers alle sue calcagna. Rimane anche da scoprire chi è lo stalker di MK....un finale violento ed erotico degno della serie.

Ugh, I fell in love with Archer in this book. He was just so perfect. Him, Steele and Kodiak are so perfect for MK, I'm so jealous!

I truly was on the edge of my seat all along the book. MK went through some serious stuff, and I didn't suspect anything about her stalker, I was really surprised. Also, that guy was freaking creepy and disgusting. Ew.

I truly felt like we were left on a cliffhanger! *crying emoji* WHO THE F IS HADES? Can't wait for his/her series to be released!
Also, one question was left unanswered: will MK and her guys have babies? It's pure torture not to know! I NEED TO KNOW!

Sooooo...Madison Kate has come to an end. What a ride! Im so sad, happy, fulfilled and also intrigued for 7th circle all at the same time!

Regardless of anything you read in any other reviews, just know that at the foundations of it all is a love story so sweet your teeth will ache. You become so invested in the characters that you will be jumping up and down at the end of every book, right up until the end, to know what the fates have install for them. By fates....I mean Tate MFing James!

I have read books before where characters have died, been revealed as villains etc and have felt absolutely nothing and got barely an eyebrow twitch. I screamed at my kindle during this series more times than I can count! And that, to me, is the sign of a good book.

Also, I would like to take the time to mention that the ending is in no way a cliffhanger. Its a little golden nugget to do with Hades and the 7th circle series. Its a nice touch, seemlessly integrating what will be Tates new series but also building the world and characters of Shadow Grove. A whole series could be written about MKs childhood and her parents stories alone! The universe of Shadow Grove is massive and for me, the ending just connected some of the dots and made the story feel more real. I usually hate spin offs but slowly learning more about the potential charaters in 7th circle has warmed me up enough that I can't wait!

So...moving on! The differences between the characters and their relationships in this book compared to book 1 is the biggest testamont for me to the development in this series. I felt guine emotions of pride, sadness and love for these guys and how far they had come together! As people have said all along, each book has its own theme; Hate, Fake, Liar and finally, Kate. So you can guess that this book very much centers on her and her growth, her hangups from the pain she has endured and the healing she starts to experience thanks to her friends and lovers. Will she get the answers and justice she deserves? MK is ready to end this maddness and live a life with her boys in peace but the danger has never been more real or more terrifying. She has grown and learned some very hard lessons but all she is interested in now is surviing this madness and coming out the other end alive.

Obvioulsy at the end of Fake, we were left reeling over the fate of Max but I wont leave a single crumb about his outcome in this review. Just know that Tate does what needs to be done to be true to this series and the story.

A lot is revealed in Kate; A LOT of secrets and twists come to light, as is the way with most series that centers on a mystery. Its a twisted tale with ripples from the past infecting MKs present and it only gets darker!

We get a lot of "AH HA", "OMG" and, "Well, I didnt see that coming" moments that finally complete the puzzle of Shadow Grove. There were also some brilliantly funny, touching and heart warming moments as well that were the icing on this big, beautiful, sexy cake.
