KAGE Unleashed

by Maris Black

Overview

My name is Jamie Atwood, and I am an idiot. Against all odds, I got the attention of Michael Kage, the hottest MMA fighter on the planet. To say he rocked my world would be an understatement. He transformed me completely, made me depend on him, and made me love him. And the sex? Let me put it this way: I'd never been with a guy before I met Kage, but I'd gladly spend the rest of my life on my knees for him. He is my obsession and my addiction. But I did something stupid, and now I'm paying for it. I don't know if I'll ever see Kage again.

***
Being Michael Kage was never easy. Too many demons, too much anger, and not enough to live for. And then I met Jamie Atwood. He's got this innocence about him that speaks to something deep down inside me- in a place that's never been touched by anyone. He's beautiful, smart, and courageous, and he hasn't been tainted by the darkness that's ruled my life. I wanted him from the first second I laid eyes on him. It's selfish, I know. Because you can't bring an innocent thing into the darkness and not expect something to rub off.

About the Author

My name is Maris Black (sort of), and I’m a Southern Girl through and through.

In college, I majored in English and discovered the joys of creative writing and literary interpretation. After honing my skills discovering hidden meanings authors probably never intended, I collected my near-worthless English degree and got a job at a newspaper making minimum wage. But I soon had to admit that small town reporting was not going to pay the bills, so I went back to school and joined the medical field. Logical progression, right? But no matter what I did, my school notebooks and journals would not stop filling up with fiction. I was constantly plotting, constantly jotting prose, constantly casting the people I met as characters in the secret novels in my head.

Yep. I can blame my creative mother for that one!

When I finally started writing fiction for a living, I surprised myself with my choice of genre. I’d always known I wanted to write romance, but the first story that popped out was about a couple of guys finding love during a threesome with a woman. Then I wrote about more guys, and more guys, and more guys. I was never a reader of gay fiction, and I’d never planned to write it. The only excuse I have for myself is: Hey, it’s just what comes out!

I adore the M/M genre, though, with all my heart. It feels sort of like coming home. I can’t quite explain it. I’ve always had openly gay and bisexual friends and relatives, the rights and acceptance of whom are very important to me, so it feels great to celebrate that. But there’s also something so pure and honest about the love between two men that appeals to me on a romantic level and inspires me to write.

Thank you, men. :-)

I currently live in Nashville, TN with my devoted husband (my biggest fan), my three eccentric children, and a hairless cat. Life is good.

Editorial Reviews

5 STARS! (only because the scale doesn't go any higher!)
I'm even more ecstatic than I was with book one!
As always, Maris Black writes a damn fine book. Editing is spot on and her world building and character development are excellent. As with all of her books, you really feel that the characters are real people. Even the background characters are developed enough for what is needed. That said...there are plenty of background characters, but not enough to bog down the story.

5 STARS!
I don't know where to start with this review.
This is my 4th attempt and each time I feel like I'm not doing this amazing book enough justice.
This series is fantastic and totally rocks!!
It's super hot but sweet, with strong characters that are meant for each other but are still fiercely independent. It has so much heart but at the same time deliciously dark in places.

Bike Book Reviews - Kylee Shelton

4.5 STARS!
This is another on the edge of your seat read that leaves you screaming "No! Don't stop there!" at the end. I couldn't read it fast enough but was sad I did so when it was over. I really can't wait for the grand finale of this trilogy and hope we don't have to wait too terribly long to get it. I highly recommend this exciting and intense story.

Overall Impression: I loved it

Emotions are running high, sex is 100 degrees and rising and the tension is building to bursting point!
OMG! Queen of the cliffy's, Ms Black has done it again...left me completely and utterly on the edge of my seat, desperately needing my next fix of this hot, nail biting drama. Just like a fish dangling on the end of a pole Maris Black just keeps reeling me in... and I'm hooked!
