The woman he loved died.
And I’m what’s left standing.
I didn’t know I would fall for him. He is, after all, my enemy.
I set out to break his heart. And that’s what I plan to do. Splatter it into a million pieces.
He’s an asshole, you see.
He runs this town. And he thinks he can run me too.
Well, he can’t.
And he can think again.
Most women don’t fall at the feet of a man like him. No, they … him. No, they grovel.
Except, I can’t. Because I hate him.
Even with his rugged good looks and a demanding presence, he can’t win me.
Because I’ve played this game well.
And I will win.

I NEEDED Blaze and Kat’s story after I read Kisses and Lies, and T.L. Smith did not disappoint me. Their story was everything I hoped for and more.
Blaze Stone and Kat Tulip are beyond amazing. I loved how Kat decided she was going to love Blaze and he was going to love her. Their push, pull cat and mouse game was beyond words to read. Kat’s character was sassy perfection and was the perfect match for Blaze’s broken character. The bickering back and forth these two have going on, I lived for it. Blaze’s love for Kat’s daughter was great. A man who swore he hated kids fell for her head over heels. That’s when I knew these two were meant to be. Kids have this amazing way of working their way into your heart even if you don’t want to. I always love when the big, bad, alpha man falls to his knees for a woman. In Kisses in Warfare he gets taken down by two, Kate and her daughter.
Kisses and Warfare is the perfect example as to why I’m obsessed with all of Smith’s words. It’s captivating and addicting, and beautifully written. Blaze and Kat had me on the edge of my seat needing more. Kisses and Warfare is a must read for everyone.
Absolutely loved this book it was amazing i couldn’t put it down.
You should read the first book to be able to understand some parts of this novel.
After the end of the first book. I couldn’t wait to get to read Blaze and Kat’s love story. Kat is the single mother who is a manager at a strip club. She is super fiesty and independent. While Blaze is the President of Exile MC. Blaze is cold and doesn’t believe in love. There love story is one you should read.
I was excited to hear about Blaze’s book, and I was eager to see the girl that could tame his wild heart. Katarina…that girl is fire! I always love T.L Smith female characters, and she was a good addition to the list of strong and independent women. Blaze of course how can you don’t love him.. I was happy to see the Marcus and Rochelle too, happy ending indeed. It all started with a Kiss with Lies and now with a Kiss with Warfare.. can we have more kisses in the future perhaps? 5 sizzling stars
Kisses and Warfare is going to take you the reader on a tantalizing game of cat and mouse with Kat and Blaze !
This is not your cookie cutter romance, These characters are gritty, no nonsense and straight forward. Kat is not looking for love and Blaze is still licking his wounds from his last relationship that ended tragically . You have to know that when you are a President of a biker club and the woman you are interested in is the manager of a strip club that these two characters are going to sizzle off the pages!
Yes they have a common ground Kat’s sister is dating Blaze’s brother but that does not lay down the law for them to be nice to one another! This is an enemies to lovers game that they are playing! All is fair in Kisses and Warfare ! Get ready for a tumultuous, naughty, emotional ride !

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by author)…
This is Kat, Rochelle’s older sister, and Blaze’s, Marcus’ younger brother’, story.
If you read Kisses and Lies (which you totally should) you know about Blaze and Tanika’s relationship and how it ended tragically. Also you know how Blaze treated Kat like crap and she ma de vow to break his heart and man-oh-man did that woman lead him on merry chase.
I enjoyed the entire book even when Blaze was being his ultimate turd-self. Kat was so bada** and she didn’t take any of Blaze’s crap and the love of her daughter was so beautiful. Even the Mitchell situation was intriguing and it was sweet to watch it unfold.
Of course we have some MC issues that end up colliding with Kat’s “secret” career. However, Blaze handles it like the President he is, but quickly after realizes that maybe Kat was more dangerous to his heart than he thought.
I didn’t want this book to end! Especially when Blaze realized his true feelings for Kat and Annabelle and turn from a turd to a swoon worthy man.
I wonder if there will be more books in the series because I would love to see the future of our couples.
I didn’t think it was possible but I think I love Blaze even more than Marcus. He might even be right up there with Creed from Cavalier. That’s how much I loved Blaze. For all his hard edges and gruff ways, it was so fun to watch him get thrown off his game by Kat time and time again.
Kat is another character I absolutely love. She was very independent and more than capable of handling her own life. She did it with flare and a sassy mouth. She and Blaze were so explosive every time they were around each other.
I loved this book from start to finish and can’t praise it enough. I hope to get books about the members of Blaze’s MC next.
Thank you to the author and her team for allowing to review an ARC of this and I volunteered to leave an unbiased review.
When I requested an advance copy of this I didn’t know it was connected to answer story which is the romance between Marcus and Rochelle, who are major side characters in this book. Also the premise for this is set up in that book.
All that to say, I didn’t fee like I missed THAT much by not having read that (I probably will get around to it)
The hate to love story between Blaze and Kat was so much fun. Kat is a proper HBIC and although there are parts where the mood swings between both Blaze and Kat (I want him/her. I don’t want them etc) gave me whiplash, it also made me smile a whole lot.
I look forward to reading a lot more from this author because the writing was super easy to read and this was for sure a book I read in one sitting. It was a page turner for sure. Plus, I live for drama in books and even though I thought this would be more angsty..it was definitely drama filled.
So this isn’t a full 5 star rating, I was really hoping for the scene between the rival gangs would be bigger and more bloodier.. I know that sounds insane but I just found it very weak.
So I loved the banter between the characters. Blaze has a special relationship with his brother and isn’t keen on him finding his happy ever after. He’s hurt and angry. Kat is fierce and determined to make him have sex with her and fall in love. The love/hate between them is perfection. I mean there’s fire between them. Kat is the boss and has respect from her girls. When Blaze comes into the world, she doesn’t take his crap and fights him on everything he says but at the same time, I think this just adds to the cat and mouse game they are playing. This book really isn’t about the MC, it’s more about Kat’s family and her baby daddy drama. Blaze is great. It was amazing to see the transformation happen with him. He swore he’d never fall for her charm but she tore down his walls. This book was a quick read with fun and sexy banter. It was a great book!
A must read.
Blaze is an alpha A hole and Kat is a strong feisty woman. The chemistry between them sizzles off the pages. Their story is one to remember. This was a fantastic read!!
Blaze and Kat were explosive together. Each with their own baggage to deal with, but more alike than they think. With Blaze still dealing with the death of Tanika and his hate for Rochelle, the last thing he needed was her sister Kat to come barreling into his life and that she did. Kat is a strong woman, fiery, sassy and speaks her mind, and these two are a perfect match for each other. The dance between these two, the banter, the sexual frustration is off the charts. Kat wants him and knows it’s a bad idea, but she loves to rattle his cage and continuously tells him that “she’s going to make him fall in love with her and then break his heart”. I loved that! Kat doesn’t only have herself to think about these days and she really needs to make good choices, but can she do that with the way Blaze looks at her like he wants her for dessert? Their story is powerful, the push and pull, it’s emotional for everyone, it’s sexy and steamy, and there is no way that you will put this down until you figure out if what Kat set out to do really worked or not. That’s all I’ll say about that. Loved it, loved seeing Marcus and Rochelle sprinkled in their story along with Rochelle and Kat’s parents. What an amazing read!!
It’s a fiery match up!!! The sassy strip club manager is about to bring the MC prez to his knees. This enemies-to-lovers romance will set your kindle ablaze!
Kat set her sights on Blaze. She decided she’s going to make him love her, then break his heart and she lets him know her plan. She’s a sexy single mom and she’s been burned before. She just wants a little fun and Blaze is just the right man for her to use.
They know each other because his brother is with her sister. Family gatherings have a whole new meaning now. Blaze knows that being with her is a bad idea, but being bad is what he’s good at.
Kat’s a bit torn. She wants Blaze, but being involved with an MC prez is not the safe option when she’s working to protect her daughter.
The lines of love and hate will be blurred. Blaze is a man who gets what he wants. Kat is a woman who does and says what she wants, to hell with the consequences. His pull is as hard as her push. If Blaze wants her, she’s going to make him work for it. He never wanted a relationship or a kid, but if he wants Kat, he’s going to get both.
Lots of tension and hot sexy times. Kat and Blaze go head to head which makes for some intense chemistry. You’ll get to catch up with Marcus and Rochelle as their relationship evolves. I love those two. Marcus and Blaze are brothers you can’t help but fall for. Two men who were strangers to love, find women who change their future. These dark anti-heros find their happily ever afters.
love this series
love Kat and Blaze
Twisted intense emotional broken heartstopping love story
grabbed my heart
ready for more
Kisses and Warfare is the perfection companion to Kisses and Lies. I enjoyed this particular story a little too much and earned myself the book hangover to end all book hangovers. It was a straight through read for me. No sleep until the last word was read.
I was in love with these characters. SO hard. The leading lady is the perfect example of who I want to be when I finally decide to grow. She has a tough as nails persona, who knows her responsibilities and does right by those who need her, while going after what she wants with unhindered determination. She flaunts her hard shell but she possesses an internal vulnerability that is endearing. She made me laugh and I just want to be her.
The leading man is as tough as nails and wears the marks where he ripped them out to prove his strength. He is a man of authority and every wish is always granted. Until he meets his perfect match. The stage as set. Let the game begin. Will the cat get the mouse???
Loved the story, the characters, the way the story was written, and everything else about it. As always T.L Smith raised the bar once more. 5 stars.
Oooh, I love Blaze and Kat! I inhaled Kisses and Warfare. It’s enemies to lovers at it’s best.
Blaze, has demons from the past that makes it hard for him to love but Kat, promises to make him fall for her so she can break his heart.
The intense banter between these two is amazing to witness. Blaze is dominant and strong and expects to be listened to but Kat is too independent to have anyone tell her what to do. Her fire and attitude are what keep Blaze interested.
Loved that Marcus and Rochelle were involved in the story too (if you haven’t read Kisses and Lies – go do it now).
I love how T.L. Smith writes her characters – alpha males and badass women – I’m sure she could write books in her sleep.
Fast pace, this enemy to lover is sexy, sassy, a bit dark with MC in background and lots of family love.
I like it!
Kat is sexy. She’s not afraid to grab the balls and call it exactly like the way she wants it. That’s hot.
She’s strong single mom. A rebel in her family. Love her mom! And the way she handle Blaze? It makes me laugh for her audacity and no BS style.
Blaze is the Prez of a notorious MC in their town. As like many men in the world, Blaze is dark. His past is no sunshine. Makes him the man today. Rough around the edges. Take what he wants. Bad temper and hot as sin.
His interaction with Kat makes me laugh sometime for Kat can make him got overwhelmed. His protectiveness side definitly a turn on. Although there’s time, like Kat, I really wanna smack his head for his audacity.
This book is easy to read. Finish it in one sitting. Kisses and Warfare with it’s characters, specially Kat, is definitly a sexy and fun read.
I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t know what to expect but what I got was really enjoyable. I’ve read most of this authors books. She always writes really strong, dominant men but she also has a knack of writing women that are badass and ballsy. And Kat is one of those women.
Kat and Blaze’s story isn’t one that is conventional at all. It raw, full of truth and denial all at once. Kat’s final statement from Kisses and Lies was the opening really for this book. It was pretty much sexual fuelled chemistry from that point on.
Now yet again I would like to spill all my thoughts and feelings but I would totally spoil this book. I couldn’t rant about certain situations, be totally angry about some of the things I am disappointed with. But it’s not my place to do that.
This book is a total recommend for me. It’s was a great quick read, full off drama, hate and a whole heap of love.
I loved this book so much, from the characters and their back story and angsty moments to the banter and all the moments of being true to themselves and their feelings.
Another great story by a favourite author.
Kisses and Warfare by TL Smith is Kat and Blaze’s story. We met them in Kisses and Lies. Kat is Rochelle’s wild and rebellious sister. Now a new mother she is trying to tone down her wild lifestyle. However Blaze is something different. He is Marcus’s brother and president of a MC. Kat and Blaze have a love / hate relationship. Matter of fact Kat’s mission is make Blaze fall in love with her then break his heart. The best laid plans don’t always work out the way we want them to and this one blew up in both their faces. I enjoyed their game of cat and mouse, push and pull. Together they were entertaining and the sexual foreplay was a hot set up to the actual deed. Loved the chemistry between the two of them. Kat is a spicy firecracker that doesn’t take anybody’s crap especially Blaze’s. Blaze is use to getting what he wants from the ladies and Kat gives him a run for his money. Couldn’t put this book down. Didn’t get much sleep and it was well worth it. 5 stars for me.
