TBR & Tangents by Rachel

This is my first introduction to Tate James, and I’m pretty impressed. Even though this is connected to the Madison Kate series, going in blind like I did was still easy to do. You’re aware that you’re missing some background but it’s not detrimental to this current story which is super appreciated.

To be honest I didn’t realize this was a contemporary romance until I started. (my bad lol) Normally it’s not my vibe but I ended up liking it! The writing was done well, and everything felt realistic but not overly drawn out or enhanced. I loved seeing Hades as the epitome of power and watching her work her way through problems she faced was empowering. There’s tons of action with mafia violence and power struggles, not to mention more than one plot twist but all work well with the story balance out the touchy-feely parts.

Speaking of spice…… It is so good! There’s heavy heat tender moments, slow burn, and oh so good enemies to lovers. I now understand why Tate is such a popular writer for this genre. Consider me influenced to pick up her other series now!
