Oh my goodness. Wow. I really wasn't expecting the emotional impact this book has had on me. I absolutely cannot wait to dive into the rest of the series. This book is one I could not put down, the characters are easy to love.

I think this book would be a five star for a different reviewer. I got a copy from net galley and was intrigued by the synopsis and it was a great story and very romantic and steamy, but it didn't seem real for me. It was repetitive in the actions and just never connected. If you love 50 shades, you'll love this. Unfortunately that series wasn't for me either. But great

M.f. (book 1-sexy m.f. series) by Lisa Mackay.
For me, falling in love at first sight would take months of planning. A little caution never hurt anyone.
But Maxwell Foxx isn't a man, or a desire, you can easily ignore. The man has sexy in his DNA.
Falling in love with him was easy... inevitable. But keeping him would become a fight for my life.

Young photographer Vivienne Banks could never be accused of throwing caution to the wind. 'Cautious' could be her middle name! A tragic childhood colours her future and trust must be earned.
When her love life hits the rocks, Vivienne hits the bar with devastating consequences.
In his sights already, gorgeous billionaire Maxwell Foxx, comes to her rescue. But who is rescuing whom, and at what price?
Will Vivienne ever truly understand the significance of the M.F. tattoo over Max's heart?
And will Max ever be able to move on from the ghosts in his past, and the bonds which tie him to another?
Omg an absolutely fantastic read. Wow. Loved most of the characters. Didn't like Monica at all. Absolutely brilliant. Well written too. Cant wait for the next book. 5*. Highly recommended.

For me, this was okay if you liked 50 shades of grey then you may like this one too as it is a lot like it in place it felt like chunks had been taken from the series and just reworded in places. It is the first book in the series and it was not bad I just did not love it

M.F. Book One by Lisa Mackay is a book I've been trying very hard to like, but it seems like a rehash of Fifty Shades, which seemed like Fan Fiction of Twilight (I'm pretty sure it WAS FF!). I just couldn't get through it. Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel.

Oh my goodness. Wow. I really wasn't expecting the emotional impact this book has had on me. It's been hard to tear myself away from and I plan on heading straight to the next book now. This book is all consuming and so addictive. The characters are so well developed too. A really brilliant and unexpected book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Really enjoyed this. Fast paced, excellent story about coping with pain and loss. The sexy hero has a world of pain underneath that gorgeous face and body. The woman who perseveres in their relationship battle is strong and caring. I will read more from this excellent author

A hot romance novel with a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

I felt this read had a lot of interesting similarities to 50 shades just without the bdsm aspect. I was a little annoyed by Vivienne and her assumptions to situations that would occur. I was frustrated and that I find I don't like either. Max is sweet and seemed a little dense at times. I know he loved Monica, but how could you not see her CRAZY!! There were red flags everywhere!! This read picked up for me finally toward the middle. I hope everyone gets what is coming to them!! The twists took me by surprise! I will read the second one for sure! I HATE CLIFFHANGERS! At least it is out now to buy on Amazon! Yep! I will be reading that next!! Off to the next!

I received this ARC from the publisher via Net Galley at my request for an honest review. The opinions expressed are solely my own. Thank you Net Galley!!

3.5 stars

Wanting a much needed break from my usual genre, I decided to pick up this light romance novel, M.K. by Lisa Mackay. This book reminded me so much of 50 Shades of Grey, without all of the S&M and abusive mind-fuckery.

It was a little slow at first, but I slowly found myself drawn into Vivienne and Max’s story and found myself wanting to know happens. I really liked how Vivienne was a strong female character, even though Max tended to be more dominant. Viv stood her ground and stood up for herself, which is something I truly detested about Anastasia.

I would definitely recommend this book to readers who enjoy a little “insta-love” and light romance. For me, it was a quick read and gave me a mental break from the darker genre’s I usually gravitate towards.

Vivienne is sent out to get photos of Max Foxx and life is never the same! Though they are from two very different worlds, somehow they connect. Dating a celebrity a keeping your life private is next to impossible and they both would have a lot to lose should their private lives become public.

I have to say that I was loving this book, totally hooked on the story and turning pages like a fiend. Then came the ending...but it wasn't truly an ending = it was a cliff hanger. I admit that I was disappointed, maybe even a little annoyed that this was how the book ended. I took a little time before writing this because I was annoyed.

I've come to the realization, however, that as annoyed as I was, the story had me in it's grasp. I wanted to know more...and that my friends is the work of a great author. So, here I sit, waiting for M.F. book 2!

First of all, It reminds me so much of fifty shades of grey.
Anyway, the starting few chapters were boring but after 4-5 chapters, it gripped me. It was interesting yet predictable read. With some gripping twists and turns and suspense.
Vivienne and Max met at some gala, they officially met after she nosedived in gents bathroom in an event and he rescued her and paid her medical bills. after some unsuccessful dates, Viv moves in with Max due to some reason which you'll know after you read the book.
I found it hard or a bit impossible to relate to their relationship. I agree they had a spark which was avident but their relationship escalated too quickly.
There are some gruelling secrets, exs and some enemies. Its interesting and gripping.
All in all, I'll recommend this book to anyone who likes insta romace with suspense.

"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

Loved this book very much. It had just enough sweet, sexy romance and the storyline was great! I highly recommend!

I received an arc from Netgalley. I could not put this book down. The story of Viv and Max is one you do not want to miss. This book had me on the edge of my seat right up until the end.

Can’t wait for book two to see how this all plays out and who still poses a threat.

5 stars-finished in one day

Wow! If you like a little romance mixed with suspense this book is for you. I could not put this book down. It made me laugh, cry and gave me anxiety. I just finished and downloaded the next book. I would definitely recommend this book.

I loved this book! The characters developed very quickly and brilliantly. Spoiler alert that it does end on a cliffhanger but it's so worth the read. I couldn't put it down!

I quickly delved into the 2nd and 3rd book as I had to know how it ends. Can't say enough about it

I enjoyed this book so much I have read the entire series and can honestly say I feel bereft. I want to read more by Ms Mackay and hope she produces something else soon.
I thought this was the best book in the trilogy (so far). Although there are so many highs and lows in these books, to think all 3 books cover only 276 days is incredible. It wore me out just reading about them.
Congratulations on treating male self harm so well. It is an important part of the story and we'll written. This book would be fine without it but it becomes more important in a later novel and shows an alpha male with a weakness.
I was given this book by NetGalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary and impartial review.

Liked this book & author 4 Stars

ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

There was so much I liked about this book & author - Book 1 does however end on a cliffhanger

The only reason I am not giving this book 5 Stars is that at times I wanted to shake the characters & say just get it together!!
Max & Vivienne belong together just wish they had gotten together sooner in the book.

This book reminded me a lot of 50 Shades of Grey however I really liked this authors writing style - I will def check out book 2 in the series. Lisa Mackay writes with such funny British humor ( thx u for the glossery of British terms lol)

You cannot help but fall in love with billionaire Max - gorgeous , sexy - kind hearted & protective to Vivienne’s independent free spirit ...

Both have suffered many hurts & disapointments in life but together they are stronger & so in love ...

Great secondary characters - my fav is Lucy - Vivienne’s best friend ...

Hope to read Book 2 to find out if there is a HEA - hope so 👍
