The Vixen's Lead (Kit Davenport Book 1)

Perfect genre intro for those new to Reverse harem - this is the one I recommend to friends who are interested in the genre. Well written and edited, entertaining, not such a slow burn that you're left wondering how it qualifies as romance, but not so fast that you feel it was mechanical and overly predictable in the romance department either.

Some of the plot devices require a suspension of disbelief that I know a few reviewers have found problematic, and in this first book some of the guys aren't super well-differentiated, but I promise those elements are just being set up now. it is worth reading this book to get to the rest of the series! The mysterious magic system is increasingly revealed in each subsequent book, as are the personalities of Kit and her lovers.

So I loved every single book, I cannot say enough good things about this entire series. I loved the way this intro to the series and the whole world was depicted, it is a super awesome medium burn RH, and I cannot say enough good things about it.
Kit is a crafty thief aided by her best friend and sister by choice Lucy. That alone is enough to make me interested in a series, let alone everything else that unfolds (no spoilers here, promise).
I am honestly mad at myself for waiting until now to read the series, but also happy I waited until all books were out (which was totally by accident).
This IS a completed series, which is always nice!

ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
If this is the first book by this author, I cannot imagine what is she going to do next.
She came out swing + hit a home run.
I loved, loved the book.
Kit suffered so much, and it was high time that she caught a break in the form of 5 hotties.
( Yes Austin, you too. You think that we don't know, but we know. Just admit it )
This book grabbed me from the 1st page, and I did not want to let go.
I can't wait to find out when Kit finally realize her full potential.
Right now, she only knows of some of her abilities.
I am sure that there are more abilities hiding inside her that are ready to come out.
When Kit reaches her full power / abilities, then BAM! Watch out world!

If you have read Assassin’s Academy this is sort of similar.
But in the meantime if you haven’t...continue on!
This book revolves around Kit. She’s schemes and is a their in the night and student by day. Why does she steal? Read to find out. This story is good, with some sexual content. It’s not all about smut, and there is a storyline. It’s a little bit of a reverse harem in my opinion but borderline PG-R. Is this a good book? Yes. Should you read it? Yes.
Kit and her sidekick in crime meet two new students who are nothing but sexy, cute and annoying. But then a mysterious character comes into play and things start to change. Is it coincidence? Or all necessary... decisions decisions.. Read in to find out!

This book was insane. I cannot believe I waited so long to read this. This book sat in my KU for months and finally I picked it up again. I put it down once thinking it was about a thief and wasn't really pulled in, but man oh man was I wrong. This book is really really awesome. Warning though that this book could be a trigger for those who have lived with trauma, but let me say I love James' depiction of Kit from a victim to a kick booty survivor. She is like Robin Hood in better shoes. The book left me with so many questions although the end did blow me away a little. Very funny, Tate. Anyway, I worry about Kit's future and hope book 2 is just as amazing which I am about to start reading. Great read full of adventure and sexy surprises.

Enjoyable read. so I see what some reviewers meant by saying it's unrealistic, it really is, but then again its a fictional story, so reading something unbelievable kind of goes with the territory. Would have gave this 5 stars but kit our main girl was a little to all over the place for me. She starts out strong, but goes down the hill from there, and with facing issues she either acts like a child, lashing out or worse quivering like a scared baby. I didn't care for the emotional whiplash she was giving off
The guys in this read are delicious, and I had no real issue with any of them. I'm gladly going to continue on to the next book and hope our kit grows a lot more throughout the rest of the series

I really like all of the characters in this book. They’re well fleshed out and not super cheesy and Austin is the a-hole that I love to hate.
One thing that tends to annoy me, and this happens SO OFTEN in books, is how Caleb and Austin refer to each other as ‘brother’. I’m not a dude so I don’t know but is that a thing? Is it? Because I read it all the time and I’m always concerned that having a brother means that you lose just enough brain cells to not be able to think of a more clever nickname.
Also, I’m super bummed that Jonathan seems to be kind of shady in the end. Like Kit needs more sucky people in her life.

I started this book because someone recommend it in one of my book clubs and I am so happy they Did!
This story is such a fun read. Yes there are trigger scenes and some heavy emotional parts, it was all in all a fun read.
Kit is a badass and her and Lucy together are just asking for trouble! I love how the story started and then progressed. I love how she already knew she had powers and that it wasn't the typical, "Oh, I'm a normal person. Wait! What is this?! I have powers?!", type of MC. Again, Kit is badass!
Then to find out the deal she had with her dad! Whuuuut! Plot twist for the win!!!! Ahhh I'm greedy for the rest of this series!

This turned out to be really fast paced and quite entertaining. You have secret agents, an internationally renowned thief, and a nefarious lab hidden by an unnamed powerful organization. At first, it wasn't clear if this was going to be a superhero or a supernatural story but things are looking to be trending more to the supernatural. You start out not really getting why she was thieving when she didn't really need to and as the story unfolds you get the wow I hope she gets them for more vibe going on. This is also an adult RH, even though the story starts shortly before she turns 19 it's not at all a YA.

This book from start to finish was fantastic. I loved how close kit and lucy were and hope we get to see more of the duo in the next book. Kit or kitten or kitty Kat or christina, vixen, however you wanna call her was a well rounded heroine. She's been through a lot and still came out on top. She is a fearsome girl and qith the help of the totally hot alpha team is even more fearsome. I love the dynamics between the guys and her. Each one has something different to offer her and can't wait to see how they fit together with kit. Can't wait for the other book in the series to drop. Tate james is a wonderful writer and I love the reverse harem themes!

Kit is the epitome of a feisty and quirky heroine. She’s funny, tough, and is amazingly inspirational character considering her past. I love the dynamic that is created with her and her best friend, Lucy. Both are equally entertaining characters.

On the guys side, it seems to be fairly standard in the reverse harem genre. Each male fills a particular role. Fortunately, they’re all different and interesting enough that it doesn’t get boring.

The storyline is fantastic!!! The way this book played out what definitely not what I was expecting. The author keeps you guessing the entire time, which I absolutely loved!

Seriously, this is the beginning of a really great series!

OMG, I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book! It was so well written! The characters were well developed and very engaging. The story itself was fantastic...it started off with a bang and just built on itself more and more and got better and better. I didn't put it down once. I simply loved it!
Kit and Lucy have been friends since they were little kids. They had a rough life, but have made it successfully through high school after being adopted as teens. But ever since Kit turned 18, her life has been getting stranger. She's seeing things and has these crazy abilities. Some "unlawful" things have happened and she ended up on the radar of a secret intelligence group. Now her life is Bout to change in amazing ways.
No spoilers, but those last couple chapters! Just wow!!
I can't wait to read the next book! This one was pretty much perfect!

Tate James has outdone herself in creating the lives of Kit and her team.
First off this book is meant to be read over several books. You will not get all the answers from the first one. The beginning of this book was a little slow build until kit gets in good with her team, from then on it truly holds your attention.
I was ok with the slow build because it gave Kit and Lucy more depth.
Learning about all the guys the way they are described is perfect, it's easy to distinguish each one from the others.
I won't lie, I never saw a specific plot twist at the end and that is something I am usually really good at. I was unually spruced with it and had to laugh at myself for not seeing it the entire time.
Tate outdid herself in this book and I can't wait for book 2.

A-freaking-mazing! James has perfectly introduced us to Kit and her world in A Vixen's Lead. Kit Davenport is an expertly written, fiercely independent heroine that you can't help but resonate with. Her humour and strength are just some of what makes her an amazingly refreshing character. Add in the five glorious men and her crazy best friend you've got a winning combination!

This story will take you on the ride of your life from beginning to end and have you asking "that can't be the the last page can it?!". James has brought a new life to the paranormal RH genre that is simply exquisite and I honestly can't wait for more from her. Kit and the gang are my new guilty pleasure!

LOVE this series!! Could not put it down. The plotline was exciting, Kit is a loveable, interesting, strong young woman, and all the men are wonderful in their own ways. One of my favorite RH books I've read--there are more natural, less forced relationships--they naturally develop the relationships in a very realistic way (not a sudden-permanently-bonded type thing that so often happens in RH), but there's also enough romance, intrigue, and action that the book never moves too slowly and you never want to put it down. So many unexpected plot twists. I read all three books in this series in DAYS and I loved them. Highly recommend!

I am literally blown away. I have not read anything this good in a long time. Kit is feisty and sassy and wickedly charming. I literally could not put this book down. I needed to read all of it at once or die trying. Strong, well put together, the formatting was hella sweet. The cover is A+. I don't know what else to say.
Give this book a chance. BUY IT IMMEDIATELY if you have the funds. If you have KU, read it on KU. I don't care. Everyone needs to read it. It's lovely and fantastic and one of the greatest reads out there in the Reverse Harem community right now.

I absolutely loved reading The Vixen's Lead! Heard enough people talking about Kit and had to join in! I was not disappointed and would recommend this book to anyone out there looking for a good read! Lots of action and suspense..... Plus the relationship between the characters gets better and better through out the book..... The way Kit always thinks of and protects her "sister" is a real bond that anyone would be lucky to have...you won't regret picking Kit up!!!

This story was entertaining enough that I am checking out the next book. With that said, and without offering spoilers, I think the author dropped a few pieces as the puzzle was being put together. Entire plot lines seemed to disappear so I'm curious if the 2nd book will pick them back up. Guess we will see, but if you like this genre- give this one a chance.

4 star rating. maybe 4.5???
This would have gotten a solid 5 star rating but it does need some editing. I found several sentences where words were missing from them making me have to re-read the paragraph again to make sense of it.
Overall it was very enjoyable read. The female lead was kind of annoying at times but I'm sure she'll grow into her character. The men are of course sexy and all alphas in their own way.
Looking forward to the next installment.

Lovable, complex characters, intriguing mystery, and hot RH romance? MUST READ! The plot of this series is clearly well thought-out and this is just the beginning of what promises to be a hot, fantasy-inspired adventure. If you're unsure, read a sample and I can almost guarantee you'll continue reading afterward. I rarely read books more than once but I liked it so much, I read it again before starting the next one when it came out! Definitely one of my favorite new series.

Absolutely magnificent, quit reading and hit that one-click button now!

This is Tate's debut novel and it is everything!

It follows Kit and her life of crime and why she does what she does. There's mystery surrounding Kit and what she is and what she can do.

And her men, H. O. T. !! (Hopefully we get more steamy scenes in book 2)

This book is very well written and drags you in to where you don't leave until your finished. And then you're begging and bargaining the author to give you book 2 now.

OMG this book was amazing. Tate James, you created a masterpiece. This book had a lot of action and enough twists in the plot to keep you guessing. Kit had all the qualities of a phenomenal heroine.
She was funny, likeable, vulnerable, badass, strong, and had a couple of hot guys to help her. The guys were amazing and gave the story what it needed. I am in like with Austin but would love all of them to be in my personal harem. This book was fantastic and definite reread. I can't wait for the next book in December.

I liked the entire storyline. It kept me interested and entertained throughout the whole book. I love the slow build up from friendship between Kit & Wesley, the buildup/argumentive relationship between Austin & Kit, the sweet relationship with Caleb, & the hotness between Kit, River & Cole! I can't wait for book 2!!

This book wad freaking awesome. I loved Kit, she kicked ass and want one of those whiney characters, even her best friend Lucy was awesome. The story itself was amazing and I loved the twists and turns. Just when you think you know what's going on.... nope! I really can't wait for the second book!

Excellent writing. A new twist on a sci fi/fantasy story. I read ALOT and I have no patience for poor writing or bad stories. This week alone I've quit 6 books because they couldn't hold my attention. This held my attention better than any I have read in a long time. I just wish the next installment was available NOW.

Everyone has always requested that I check out this series. I don’t know what took me so long, but I’m glad I did!! I love all the mystery and scandal and I can’t wait to watch this story unfold. I’m also rooting for Austin!!!

This book was amazing from start to finish it was hard to put down kept me interested all the way through, no boring bits. It's a well written book with strong characters looking forward to book two and other series by Tate who is one of Mt new favorite authors.

Love Cole....

I loved all the sassy​ and snarkiness from the main character kit. But this is definitely and adult book and kit has been through some bad situations. So just keep that in mind before you read if that's not your thing. But I greatly enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next.

I loved it. Thoroughly captivating and hooked me from the start! I'm so excited for the next book. Kit manages to get herself into all kinds of trouble but with her awesome sidekick and some hot new friends she manages just fine. Great series opener!

I cannot believe there isn’t more buzz about this author or book series! I read this straight through in one sitting. I fell in love with the characters and am off to get the next books in the series! Tate James is one of my new favorite authors.

I have already gone through and binge read this while season before realizing I didn't leave reviews on them lol. So here we go.... really good beginning with some interesting characters and plot going on.

Overall, I like the story line...though the way the relationships are with the boys and Kit is a little odd. Maybe a little too swinger like, but I’m hoping it has something to do with her abilities...we shall see. Onward to the next book.

Holy fattening cheeseballs. This is SUCH an awesome book. Kit is definitely in my top five favorite MC's with insane strength (both internal and physical) and her take no crap attitude. And Tate's ability to weave together sensuality with an awesome story is both delicious AND addicted. Like melted cheese.

I love reverse harem fantasy books. If you like that you'll like this too. I like how the author gives good background stories to all of the guys, some of the harem books I've read were very light on that so I appreciate the effort at filling out all of the characters.
