About this listen

My name is Jamie Atwood, and I'm an addict. I never thought I'd say such a thing. Never had a problem being overly attached to anything in my life. I came from a perfectly middle-class family, made good grades, and had a hot cheerleader girlfriend...but the truth is, nothing ever really moved me.

So how did a guy like me become an addict? I met Michael Kage. Kage is an MMA fighter. A famous one. I like to think I helped him get that way. He's charming as hell, with looks to rival any movie star and talent to back it up. So why did he need to hire me as an intern publicist? Simple. He has a darkness in him - like a black hole so deep it could swallow him and me and everyone we know - and that's not good for business. The first time I met him, I felt the pull. I think the addiction began at that very moment. And even if I'd known then what I know now, I would have fallen for him. How could I not? For me, Kage is everything.

This is one of my favourite series, it’s so different to any other GFY type story I’ve read and this narration absolutely nailed it.

Fantastic narration of a unique story

Wow. I didn't know what to expect but this exceeded all my expectations. I'm sold on this author, this narrator, and audio books in general.

stunningly good

When college student Jamie Atwood covers a mixed martial arts competition for a journalism assignment, he doesn’t expect to meet the mysterious MMA fighter, Michael Kage, let alone be offered a summer internship as Kage’s publicist. Everyone always raves about this series and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed everything Maris Black has written so I knew I’d love this. The story is told from Jamie’s POV and charts his journey from ‘straight boy on the rebound’ to ‘gay for you’ as he learns to master the role of a publicist. Compared to the SSU books, there’s surprisingly little melodrama until the final scenes, just an increasingly evolving intense relationship. Kage remains enigmatic throughout - he is compellingly powerful and tender as he pursues Jamie - but there’s lots left uncovered by the end time we reach the cliffhanger ending. JF Harding narrates perfectly, so much so that I was totally engrossed in the story and forgot he was there - he never puts a foot wrong.

A perfect slow-burn m/m sports romance

Warning: you will not be able to stop reading until you’ve finished all three books.
Kage is an extraordinary character. He is perfectly imperfect. He is troubled yet demonstrates an enviable strength. He is true alpha perfection.
This is a well developed MMA/mob/MM storyline with a 5 ⭐️ hotness level. 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Top this off with A grade narration by JF Harding.
A must read!!!

Loved these books. The narration was perfect. I loved the setting, the MMA training and fighting, Vegas and the rich but mysterious family.
Great characters, descriptively spicy is the absolute best ways and the perfect amount of angst and passion! Excited to read more of Maris Black’s addictive writing

Obsessed with this trilogy!
