Start your review of Kage (Peril's End MC #1)

I absolutely loved this one as I usually do with Ms. Schmidt’s work. I don’t know that I’ve read anything by the other author but will definitely need to check out more of her work. I adored both Kage and Tamar and I can’t wait to read more in this series.

Great read. Not as great as Wicked Throttle series, but still very good. Love that they were not with anyone else. Loved it. Slight push/pull. Slight om drama, didn't last very long.

I'm a stalker of Esther, but I'm new with Cali. So, I was curious what this duet will brings. And whoa... What they brought was marvellous and different. This story is about a survival. Its about that no matter what happens, you need to stay a team. A family. Because only working as one, you can overcome any storm and survive.
I loved insta connection between Kage and Tamar. It was so natural. And also showed that even among debris you can find something unexpected and special. ...more

When she captures him though she never expected to be joining forces with Kage and his MC. Kage makes a deal with Tamar to work together, it is not easy for Tamar to trust but something about Kage has

I always love Ester E Schmidts books and Cali Mackay is new to me. Together they wrote an action packed love story in an original setting, at least for me as I don't read many apocalyptic stories. I was worried about that at first but was sucked in immediately when the action started in the first chapter. I finished the book in afternoon as I couldn't put it down. The attraction between Tamar and Kage turned into the instalove I have learned to expect and adore about Esther's book. As you can se

I loved this story! Kage was written between Esther E. Schmidt and Cali MacKay and they made an awesome team :) and I can't wait for more from them and this new series :)
This is different from what I've read before by our author, Esther E. Schmidt but it hit the mark on every turn for a good, steamy, filled with action, passion, intense connection not only with our main characters but also we get some connection from our side characters; there's also sad moments, more action, sexy times and fina ...more

While I am not shy about stating my love of Esther's style of writing, Cali was a new to me author so I didn't really know what to expect when I heard they were going to co write a book together but I can honestly say they absolutely nailed it with Kage book and ill definitely be checking out more books from cali in the very near future.

I follow Esther Schmidt’s work and love her writing style. I was anxious to she how her style translated as co-author. May I state for the record that I Loved this collaboration. Ms. Schmidt and Ms. Mackay have done an amazing job of writing a MC storyline that takes place after the word as we know it has all but collapsed.

Fantastic new series by combined authors Esther E Schmidt and Cali MacKay, its got a fast pace with some action and suspense. Hot main character and a feisty capable female lead. The story is refreshingly new and different from anything either have written before, at the same time both experienced authors bring their knowledge and said experience to the table so what some may worry about it not being as good as other books by these authors is beyond great. It is unique in that I haven't read any

There is nothing I enjoy more that a great female lead character and Tamar is that! Growing up the daughter of a bounty hunter, she already had survival skills before the power went out. The world is a different place, and it truly is survival of the fittest....Along with her sister and two others she is hunting a bounty that could change their lives.

I'm a huge Esther E Schmidt fan and this book has not changed my mind! Cali MacKay is new to me but the writing is seamless and the story is great!! I wasn't sure what I was going to think of a post-apocalyptic MC book but they far exceeded my expectations! Kage and Tamar are both surviving in a world where half the population has died and electricity is only a memory. The world has descended into chaos and the people left aren't necessarily the good ones. Tamar, a bounty hunter has been one sin

I love Esther E. Schmidt's books! I read without reading what they are about because I just know they are going to be great! I have never read Cali Mackay but I just knew this book was going to be great, and I was right!
I have never read a book like this one and normally wouldn't but omg it's amazing! The bounty hunter/ apocalypse is quite interesting.

I love Esther E Schmidt books but Cali Mackay is new to me, This MC/Bounty Hunters apocalypse Story is so good I haven’t read a book with this sort of story before but I have to say I so throughly enjoyed it that I can’t wait to see what come next from them both. This is a well written story with strong alpha men who love and protect those they love but the women are just as strong and fierce. From the first time Kate and Tamar me you can tell they have so much chemistry between them, A passiona

I absolutely love Esther and read everything she writes, Cali is a new author to me. These two did a fantastic job with this book!!! I don't really read post apocalyptic books, but this one is great! It felt really new and original and I loved the premise. Kage and Tamar are bounty hunters and are both after the same HUGE bounty. They meet and sparks fly and they end up helping each other out. This is such a great story of family, loyalty and survival!! It is a wonderful romance with a twist. I

Esther E. Schmidt and Cali MacKay did a fantastic job on Kage. This is a great start to this series. The story was well written and has a great plot and characters. The book has suspense, action, twists and turns. It had many emotions. I couldn't put this put down. Kage and Tamar were strong characters, leaders. They make a great team. Their connection and chemistry was off the charts strong. This was a great story. I enjoyed it. I highly recommend reading it. It's a 5 star read. Thank you, Esth

Loved this book. From the start you can't help by be drawn into the story. Its a mix of MC and apocalypse world that has everyone fighting to survive. Kage and his brother are out to collect a bounty to seek revenge on the man behind the bounty. Tamara and her team needs the bounty to have a safe place to live. But when the truth comes out about why the bounty is sought after both join forces to stop the evil plans set forth. What are the plans? The answer to this and more questions are for you

FLOVED it... Esther and Cali have given us a brand new series and boy oh boy is it shaping up to being awesome, if I’m judging the first book right. Danger, action, death, passion and love kept this reader glued to her kindle from page one right through to the very end. In fact I’m now itching for the next in the series so badly right now. Kage is one special hero and Tamaris no fainting violet herself add in an apocalypse, a world changed and the possibility of hope for something better and you

I am stalker fan of Esther Schmidt but a newbie to Cali Mackay. Once I started, this storyline had me drawn in and I read straight thru and wow I am now a new fan to this duo!
What a love story in an apocalyptic setting. Kage melted my panties and Tamar is my heroine. Cant wait to read Dessa and Lars story! This is an outstanding start to a new MC series with a new twist that you do not want to miss!

You know that feeling when you pick up a new series and you immediately know its going to be epic? Yeah, that would be this book, this series. I loved the world that this book took place in, it was a common trope, just written uniquely.
The characters are amazing, the passion real and bold, and the action was edge of your seat. I loved the mixing of MC, end of the world, and the insta-love. The book was so amazing, I could not ask for more… Okay, I can, more in this series please!!

Loved this book..it is instant attraction between Kage and Tamar, she tries to fight it because she thinks she caused her first lover to die. Kage feels instantly that she is his and he’s not taking no for an answer.
They fight a co-worker and are trying to bring a bounty in for a solar powered house. Kage is doin* it to get to the guy who killed his brother.
They prevail and in the end win .

This is a fabulous start to this new series. Cali and Esther have hit this apocalypse romance of survival out of this world.
I love the rough and tough of Kage and throw in the a sassy heroine and I am hooked. The instant chemistry that they shared was electric. To watch them working together to survive and save the world was outstanding !

Definitely a different type of MC read! This book is well written, suspenseful, exciting and smoldering! What happens when life as you have know it is suddenly turned on it's axis and you have to find a new way of living? What happens when a solar flare wipes out all of electrical devices putting the world in total darkness and brings industry to a complete halt? What happens when in the aftermath, a virus kills most of the population (no there are no zombies in this book...the people just die a

I was drawn into this story from the beginning. I am a big stalker of all Esther's books and Cali Mackay is a new author for me that I will definitely be adding her books to my reading list....This book beginning set in an apocalyptic setting is not something I would never read but BOY I'M I GLAD I READ IT!!!! It exceeded my expectations big time and shared a positive meaning, that we should live our lives to the fullest because you never know what tomorrow brings. Kage and Tamar were perfect fo

This is the first book in this series. I love all of Esther’s books so I was excited to read this book she co-wrote with Cali and I wasn’t disappointed. The characters in this book are fantastic. I love Kage. Tamar and her sister and so funny and spunky. They don’t need men to take care of them but that doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate a good looking helpful man when he comes along. This was a great way to start this new series. I can’t wait to see where it goes next. This book takes place in

Now this isn't usually my go to genre but with it being by Esther and Cali I had to check it out and boy am I glad that I did. This wasn't so far fetched, it was completely believable and could totally happen in the future so it helped me enjoy it more. The story line was interesting and had me intrigued and hooked from the beginning. The men were sexy, alpha men and Tamar was independent, feisty, kick butt and take names later kind of lady with a kind heart for those she cares for as well.

Whew, this was a fast paced, edge of your seat, instalove story that will have you hooked from the start. I have read all of Esther’s books and this one falls in line with her writing style. Cali is a new to me Author and you can see the twist she puts on this book. These two authors combined made the storyline glow with their great word building and fierce characters.
