This is Archer and Liliah’s story arc in the series. I really liked the chemistry between the H and h even though in the beginning of the story she has been ordered to kill him for her boss and he is attempting to capture her for a client. The humor, snark and all out physical fighting between these two in the beginning was different and actually made the female lead show her dangerous side.
As they open up to each other and share their stories you really get to know more about these two people and what makes them tick. There is a good balance between unexpected dialogue and action in the storyline which I need since contemporary romance is not my first preference. I am going back and reading some of the books I missed in the early series to fill in some gaps about how we got here in the story arc. It isn’t necessary to enjoy this book but I feel like I will be reading all the books in the set before I am finished.

If you haven’t started this series yet, now is definitely the time to do it.
Each book ended with a hook for the next with the relational connections building in each book.
This was Lilah’s story. Her loving but ruthless personality deeply molded by her love, loyalty, and protectiveness towards her beloved Grams, Gramps, and her brothers, especially her twin, Elijah.
Dark, graphically violent with an equally gripping storyline that began with a horrible yet compelling prologue.
Would this be the book that answered the questions this author craftily led us to ask?
Lilah was definitely a heroine to be praised and feared. No simpering miss in her DNA, as she was able to hold her own with Archer who had been hired to “procure” the Harts.
Their chemistry was off the charts as they both played each other with Lilah getting caught at the end, only for them to team up against Enzo and his men.
Such a great series with solid writing and fast paced action filled drama. Their relationship grew quickly with profound depth.
Their HFN was satisfying despite the tragic tragic outcome at the end that was full of emotional, heartbreaking depth.

Mad Love is an absolute must read. It’s one of the most emotional books I’ve read this year so far!
Archer Allen is a bounty hunter, hired by the Mafia to track down Lilah Hart and her brothers Elijah and Dante. The Harts are assassins, working for the Snake Eyes Organization. Since the existence of the organization has been made public, they are on the run…
The characters are created very detailed and lovingly. The story is thrilling, stirring, fast-paced and hot.
I had to read the book in one go and could not put it out of my hand. I suffered with the protagonists, laughed and cried.
This book is masterly written and it’s definitely not the last time I’ve read this phenomenal series by this extremely talented author!
This was an emotional rollercoaster. I was smiling/laughing and feeling a lot of love, then pure hatred and heart-breaking pain that tightened my chest and didn’t let me breathe. But that ending. It was an ending that promises one heck of a continuation.
Here we have Archer and Lilah in a relationship with the ongoing Snake Eyes storyline. Archer and Lilah were great together. Their attraction is passionate and undeniable, their banter made me smile, and when they connect, my ereader heated up. The emotions were strong in this one. Not just between Archer and Lilah as they finally work toward making their connection, but with the soul-shattering pain toward the end if you’ve grown attached to these characters. But the beauty of the emotions between Archer and Lilah after that event was breathtaking – sad and painful, and emotionally raw.
While this book is not a standalone, the entire series is definitely a highly recommended read worthy of every heart-pounding page.
/I received an early edition of this book. This did not affect my opinion of the story or content of my review./
This is a part of a series that has to be read in order to
get the true filling for the book.
Right from the start I was hooked and on the edge of
my seat for most of the time.
There’s plenty of action of all kinds. Also this read will pull
at your heart strings.

Coverts Ops and Family Relationships Rule
A delightful game of cat and mouse between an assassin and a bounty hunter!! She is the assassin, he is the bounty hunter. They are incendiary together. “My heart skips, I’m not sure if I’m terrified, turned on, or both. She doesn’t just have the perfect body. Her senses are perfectly tuned to everything.
A covert operation that ends up being a family affair. A quest to stop a rogue agent.
Twists, turns and intrigue. This is #5 in the series, the first I have read – and I was not lost and thoroughly enjoyed this story. I will go back and read the rest – it is that good! I’ve read a few series “backwards” before, and I enjoy the foreshadowing you might miss otherwise.

I am in ” Mad Love ” with Archer and Lilah’s shiver producing, emotional warfare passion fest!
I swear, five books in and the deep connections, intricate layers, enticing thrills, and sexual tensions still grab ahold of me ever time!
This book- is a favorite of mine! Lilah’s kicking booty and taking names, while Archer’s not too bad himself – their first encounters are under someone else’s orders, but its just drawn out foreplay to them!
I laughed, had tears in my eyes, swiped page after page with an intense need to read more about the sizzling, bad arse couple!
‘Cruel love’ Cannot get here soon enough!
We last saw our hero/heroine….
This is Dante & Elijah’s sister, Lilah’s book. The monster. The beautiful but very deadly Lilah. Her only soft spots being family. She is just as protective of them as they are of her. A complete bad@$$. Stubbornly independent.
She realizes that the Snake Eyes exposure means it is time for Elijah to get the chance at a normal life. And she thinks she has a way to make that happen. A plan that puts her in the path of Archer, the hot, British bounty hunter.
Little does Lilah expect to find herself handcuffed to the bed in his mobile home enroute to Chicago.
Archer & Lilah are explosive together. Antagonists but irresistibly drawn to each other. Their leg of this journey is filled with twists, turns, passion, action, and tears.
We also learn more about the head of the snake.
Archer, the charming British bounty hunter. There is so much more to him. And surprises abound.
This is book 5 in the series. It is the reboot of book 5 of the original series also, Hard Bounty.
You want to read this series in order. Definitely not standalones. That said, you won’t regret diving into this series, a reboot of Tabatha Kiss’s Snake Eyes Series. Action, passion, mystery, darkness, humor…my James Bond action adventure heart adores this series.

This one will make you shed a few tears. Lilac and Archer are quite the pair. Neither trusts the other but the attraction is insane. Fighting each other and the attraction becomes hard and dangerous. They need to trust each other to stay alive. Danger is at every turn.

I loved every minute of this enticing read. This book has a gripping storyline that will keep you right on the edge with lots of nail-biting tension, while the complex characters will worm their way into your heart. Action, drama, humor, suspense, twists, poignancy, emotional turmoil and steamy passion are brilliantly combined and cleverly woven throughout the book and will have you hooked right from chapter one. This whole series is great but this book is definately my favorite.
If you have been following this series (and if you haven’t, get started!), you know things are heating up with Snake Eyes. The plot arc continues across the series, so you have to read them in order to understand the story. Each book starts with a prologue of chaotic hopelessness, but knowing these characters, they’re never fully down & out. Each book also has a romantic interest, and this book focuses on Lilah Hart, assassin, and Archer, former MI6 turned bounty hunter. Getting these two together is crazy-I mean, can you really trust someone out to kill or capture you? Their romance occurs against a backdrop of danger, fear, and utter sadness. My emotions were all over the place in this one, with seeing what was happening to characters & couples of the previous books. This book, my favourite of the series so far, starts to tie it together. Bring on the finale!

Another amazing addition to this series! Archer and Lilah were so great together. Their story is intense, and has plenty of twists and turns that keep you drawn in. Mad Love may be my favorite read so far in this series. These two total opposites gives us plenty of romance, suspense and comedy, but their story also delivers an unexpected turn that made my heart break. Tabatha Drake definitely added twists that will leave you holding your breath at times but gave us the perfect HEA. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series!!!
In my opinion Mad Love was a prime example of mad foreplay. What goes on between Lilah and Archer is kind of funny, in the big picture of things. These two make me laugh. Tabatha Drake gives you action, suspense and heartbreak in this book. Tabatha Drake kept me on the edge of my seat turning the pages. Lilah has a nickname of monster yet she loves with her whole heart and would do anything for her family. When she has a job to do she does it without any feelings, this makes her good at what she does. Tabatha Drake keeps putting more pieces of the puzzle in place for the finally book Endless Love. She did give some flashbacks that lets you know how Lilah has come to be. Archer is an interesting character, cause you never know if he is on Lilah’s side or not . The sex is not romantic it is rough, raw and intense. In my opinion Tabatha Drake did not disappoint, she also throws in bits and pieces from previous series. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader’s copy.
Love, love, love this series. Amazing from beginning to end. Could not stop reading. Intense, steamy, beautiful read.
This series just keeps getting better and better. This time we get to see Lilah’s story and oh that sexy Brit Archer. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book and a couple of “I didn’t see that coming” moments. There are moments of sadness and of joy. We also get to see previous characters. There is also a lot of red hot steamy moments. I loved this book and I love this series.
