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.

5 stars!!
This is a follow up from “Kisses & Lies”, and is Blaze’s story.
Ok I loved Marcus and Rochelle in book one. His dark to her light… but these two!! Hot damn!! Blaze and Kat are hot. They are explosive and hard headed and everything I love.
Kat is not a weak woman. She knows what she wants and she takes no shit. Blaze doesn’t do love and he sure as shit can have whatever he wants. That is why they call him Prez!!
The sexual tension between these two is off the chain!! Your left panting and begging for more. The verbal sparring gets you just as excited.
I fell so hard for Blaze. I had a tear in my eye at the end of the book. Blaze is so fucking hot!
This author never disappoints me. I love everything she writes. This book was fantastic. It was an easy read, full of laughs and sexy time. Get ready to take a ride on the wild side.
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
“But how can you tell a temptress no, when she looks like a goddess”
Kat is badss, I love a strong heroine and this single mum is definitely all that and really knows how to put this MC President in his place with no effort.
Another brilliant read from TL Smith.
Blaze is the brother of Marcus and Kat is the sister Rochelle from the previous book but it can be read as a standalone.
A page turner, I loved it, Kisses and Warfare has a perfect balance of what’s going on in Blaze and Kat’ s life with their enemies to lovers romance and just a bit of club life and their chemistry is hot *fans self
I love it when T.L. Smiths writes hot sassy heroines with backbone, I loved this book!!.
Great addition to the series and I’m hoping for more.
These two main characters were always going to be an interesting read coming off the back of Kisses and Lies. Which, though this is marketed as a standalone, you would do well to read or you will get somewhat lost early in the book.
Blaze is your quintessential MC Romance President; tough exterior, ruthless in his dealings but with a damaged side in need of some tough love from the right lady. So no real surprises here.
Though I did feel he held more appeal than is revealed in this fast read and could have been given more depth.
But it’s Kat that steals this story. This badass strip club manager and single mother has great strength and remains true to herself throughout the book.
She makes the men in this story who orbit around her work hard for her affections and forgiveness.
Such a great solid heroine with terrific sass!
It’s definitely a fast paced story, and an enjoyable read though I’d like to have seen a little more fight leading to their HEA, both characters falling into acceptance of their love with a bit too little resistance in the end.
But this still satisfies and is still worth the chance. 3.5 stars!
Kat and Blaze‘s story was cute and short. I honestly wish it was a little longer because some stuff felt a little forced.
I loved how strong and indipendent Kat is. She doesn‘t give up easily and you can see that throughout the book. Blaze on the other hand is a really broody character and I wish we could‘ve gotten more from him and his past and everything going on with the MC.
Sometimes the story felt kind of forced. For example the quick relationship Blaze and Kat‘s daughter have. It was said multiple times throughout the book that Blaze doesn‘t like Kids but somehow he likes Kat‘s after meeting her daughter twice before that scene.
The story itself is very interesting and I liked it very much. The characters are great and have alot of depth to them.
Also the cover is and perfect for this book. I just wish it would‘ve been a little longer.

ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.
I loved Blaze, he’s one intense, alpha. But when he met Kat, a sassy, independent woman who speaks hers mind, she’s not intimidated by him at all and does exactly what she wants, he finds his world in a turmoil.
The chemistry between these two is explosive and they both fight their way through the hot attraction, neither wanting to admit there’s more.
A great story, it was an addictive read with awesome characters and I found it it hard to put down.
I highly recommend this book.
Five brilliant stars I loved this book.
We met Kat and Blaze in Kisses And Lies and since then I’ve been looking forward to reading their story. I knew it will be awesome read because of her sassy mouth. I wasn’t wrong.
Once I started to read Kisses And Warfare I found myself unable to put it down.
And I can say that Blaze and Kat are one of my favorite couples so far. They both are hard headed. He is the president of MC. Sexy, dangerous and fearless leader. She is the strip club manager. Badass, brave woman who knows what she wants and doesn’t back down. Together they form an explosive mixture. You can feel the sparks flying between them. This hate to love romance is sexy, intense and addictive.
This author is the queen of the kick ass female leads and men you love to hate.. or hate to love!! Blaze and Kat were another couple who fit into this mould perfectly… Blaze, President of an MC, he is the top alpha, totally dominant, arrogant and seriously HOT but he has met his match with Kat! She is a single mum to an adorable little lady but she’s also a feisty, tough manager of a strip club.. from their first meeting sparks flew, but neither were looking for a lasting relationship and the push and pull from these two entertained the whole way through. This wasn’t all sunshine and roses, it’s all in the title… this book was full of kisses and warfare, but you’ll have to read it to find out…
Absolutely loved Kat & Blaze’s story
As much as I loved reading Kisses and Lies (Marcus & Rochelle’s story), Kat and Blaze just made me love Kisses and Warfare so much more.
Blaze the domineering alpha male and Kat a sassy, independent, keep you on your toes heroine. After Tanika’s death Blaze is in no mood to be involved with any other woman in any way shape or form. Lucky for him Kat doesn’t take no for an answer and swears she will make him fall for her. Kat’s not like all the others throwing themselves at him. Kat begins to want more with Blaze but she has a daughter to think about and Blaze’s lifestyle in general just isn’t safe for either one of them. When you fall in love though anything can happen…
Love the main characters and the story was exciting. Dangerous and funny with lots of feels. Once I started reading I was sad it had to end. I guess I’ll just have to reread it.
Hold on tight, this book here is just hot from the go. Trust me once you start you won’t want to put the book down.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
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 seat out to break his heart. And that’s what I plan to do. Splatter it into a million pieces. He’s an butt, 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 men like 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.
This book is amazing. I loved every single second I spent reading this story and fell in love with the characters. Blaze is the MC president and the last woman he was interested in died at her own hand. Now Kat has her eyes set on him. The plan is simple, make him fall in love and then break his heart. However no plans are ever that simple. Kat is a single mother with a child from a one night stand and a man that wouldn’t even care to know he had a daughter. Blaze is the president of a MC and a man that every woman wants but he wants nothing to do with a relationship and especially not one with a child. This story is a quick read. I loved how things went and would surprise me and I loved the time I spent with these characters. You guys are going to love this book. It keeps you one your toes guessing what is coming next. Has the MC feel of the danger that comes with those and a woman who is a great strip club manager and a mother. You don’t want to miss this one.
5 Stars
Oh my what a read!
I devoured this one. I was hanging for Kats book and it didn’t disappoint. Blaze and Kat what a story. It sucks you in from the start all the way through till the end. MC prez and strip club manager…what could go wrong right!!
If you’re after a read that will satisfy you from start to end then this is the book for you. TL Smith has a way with words and Kisses and Warfare is no exception!
Another must read from me.
After reading Kisses and Lies I was completely intrigued with Blaze and Kat and TL never fails to bring the goods. As always her writing was flawless and once is started this I couldn’t put it down. I was completely captivates with Blaze and Kat
The push/pull between these two was off the charts hot! They are so feisty and alike, both stubborn and want things THEIR way. They will fight their attractions to each other, not wanting to admit there was actual feelings and chemistry.
I have to admit I loved Kat more then I loved Rochelle. She is a total kickass bitch! she runs a tight ship at her club and likes things her way but I loved her sweetness when it comes to her daughter!
Well done TL Smith on another brilliant read! keep the feisty women coming along with the alpha males we love
Kat is a feisty single mom who runs a strip club. Blaze is the President of his MC, and he knows Kat due to her sister being with his brother. The chemistry between these two is explosive, and Kat is more than a match for Blaze. This is a beautifully written story which is filled with angst and is an intense and steamy read. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend for all readers.
Intense and very sexy!
OMG! I love Blaze! He’s dark, intense, broody, growly and very sexy. He is pure alpha male through and through!! His intensity and sexiness just oozes off the pages of this story! Blaze is afraid to let anyone in that might crack the ice around his heart but there is one very feisty and sassy woman that just might do it. Kat is an alpha woman in her own right! She’s smart, feisty, very sassy and not afraid to speak her mind. She’s definitely not meek or a push over. She knows how to play the game and get what she wants.
Kat and Blaze’s story was a rollercoaster ride of some very passionate emotions. Their chemistry was so sexy and intense that it left me breathless with anticipation and begging for these two to be together. Each interaction was explosive and extremely hot!
This is a very sexy and intense story from beginning to end that will keep you captivated and highly entertained – sometimes squirming in your seat – with an amazing ending that had me cheering!
A great story with fantastic writing. I highly recommend this book.
Ah, Kat Tulip is so different from her sister, Rochelle, who we met in book one, Kisses and Lies. I like Rochelle, however, I really like Kat’s feisty, determined nature. I will admit I didn’t like her as much in the first book but getting to know her now I think she’s terrific- actually, I liked her from the very start of this book and continued to enjoy her character the whole way through because you never knew what she would say or do.
Now Blaze Stone, he’s always presented as that tough, untouchable MC president except when he was with Tanika in book one, and if you’ve read that, which you totally should by the way, then you’d know how that ended! With Kat he is totally different and you can see how he changes even more, and by that I mean goes through a few changes. He’s the type of character you want to cuddle, with me being old enough to be his mother and knowing his fictional mother was a shocker too, yet also knowing he’s not the type. Which leads me to Kat’s mum, I found her and her father to be a lot more grounded in this book too. I loved how she sort of mothered the MC boys a bit too.
With interesting characters, a solid storyline, an opposites attracting type of romance, enough drama and action within Kat’s work and life as well as the MC club- there was no possible way this book could be anything other than fast paced. It is super easy to read because of this and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
5 stars all the way.
Kat Tulip and Blaze Stone are two strong characters that don’t back down. Kat managers a strip club, with fair but strict rules. Her rules. That is until the new owner takes over.
Blaze Stone is the president of a MC club and everyone around him follows his rules except for Kat or as Blaze keeps calling her full name Katarina.
These two make a great feisty couple determined not to fall for one another. Blaze’s brother Marcus has taken up with Rochelle who happens to be Kat’s sister.
Kat is a single working woman with a 1year old daughter, who keeps the families connected.
The sexual chemistry between Blaze and Kat is written so well it’s a really tug of war. This can be read as a standalone book without missing too much, although after reading you will want to read Kisses and Lies.
Both Marcus and Blaze haven’t been around an outspoken, overprotective yet warm and loving mother. It was lovely reading how they fall in line with Kat and Rochelle’s mother and her ways.
I really enjoyed reading this story and hope to read more.
A great 5 star romantic/suspense story. I was hooked from the very first page read to the last one.
Kat is trying to be a single mother and work. So she doesn’t have time for the likes of her new boss, Blaze. They know each other but she can’t stand him. He fights his attraction for her. They are quite the pair.
It was intriguing and entertaining. It was suspenseful too. Kat and Blaze made things quite interesting. I loved their bantering. I wish I could tell you it’s a standalone but in my opinion it’s not. Kisses and Lies is the first book and deals with another couple which are their siblings. Kat and Blaze play a big part in the first story and Rochelle and Marcus play an important role in this story.
It’s a page turning experience that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story and Kisses and Lies.
I love a bad boy and Blaze fits the bill. He is intense dominant and very closed off emotionally. Kat is a chaotic force of nature, an independant sassy single mum who has no filter. I loved how she threw Blaze in a spin, he has no idea how to deal with her. Kat challenges him unlike any other woman, the push and pull was fun because she pushes back at him with no fear for the consequences. I adored her relationship with her daughter, it was sweet fun and realistic. Blaze is the MC President so there are some issues that bleed over into the lives of his loves ones. I found the introduction of one character didn’t really add much to the story for me. This was one of steamiest enemies to lovers books I’ve read, it was fast paced and exciting.
Ten ah-may-zing stars!!! I freaking love Blaze and the spit fire that is Kat. Actually I loved all the characters even that crazy Rebecca. I was so glad three two finally came to their senses in the end. I hope there’s another book with Marcus and Rochelle. Love, love, love TL’s books!
Kisses and Warfare is the second book. Kisses and Lies was the first one and was Marcus & Rochelle’s story. I got my wish. I wanted Blaze and Kat’s story to be told! Blaze is Marcus’ brother and Kat is Rochelle’s sister. Both Kisses and Lies and Kisses and Warfare can be read as standalones. But you will get the whole story by reading both of them.
This time it is Kat & Blaze’s story. But Marcus and Rochelle are in this book too after-all they are related to Blaze and Kat.
Kat is one tough chick. She’s smart, she’s sassy, she’s sexy and she doesn’t take any BS. In fact I want to be like her when I grow up.
Blaze is tough, surly and an ALPHA a-hole thru and thru and Kat wants to take him down a peg or two.
I can’t wait to see what is next for T.L. Smith. 5 KISSES for Kisses and Warfare!
