Cage by Harper Sloan ~ Blog Tour and Giveaway

Synopsis:

"Alpha heroes you'll want to kidnap and keep, heroines to root for, and sizzling love scenes with emotional punch." Carly Phillips, NY Times Bestselling Author

Greg Cage was born to protect. While growing up, he was his mother and sister’s shield against the world… until he failed. For the last decade, he has carried that guilt and need for vengeance around… until it was stripped from him. Now, with his best friend getting married and no longer needing his protection, he is even more lost, completely adrift, and desperate for some control. All he has ever known was how to protect: his family, his friends, and his country. Can he go against everything he has ever known, and give up that control?

Melissa Larson will never let anyone hold the reins in her life. She has been the rock in her family for more years than she can remember, and the fight to keep them together is her main priority right now. She has always been fiercely independent and proud. The last thing she will ever do is ask for someone else’s help. But when that choice is out of her control, forcing her to rely on others to save her and her family, and pick up the pieces that are left, will she be able to let someone else be her strength?

The second Greg locks eyes with Meli, he knows that she is someone he needs. Someone he craves. Meli knew the second she met Greg that he would be nothing but trouble and heartache. Her life takes an unexpected turn, and that bitch Fate is back to wreak more havoc on another member of the Corps family.

All hell breaks loose, leaving Greg no choice but to call in a favor. He hooks back up with his old friend Braxxon Breaker from the Breakneck MC. Together, they make sure that nothing threatens anyone Greg loves again.

CAGE is a complete story with a HEA.

Review

4.5 Stars!

Oh Cage..How I've been looking forward to you!! After reading Axel I could NOT wait to get my hands on this book, and let me tell you-I was not disappointed!

In Axel we got a glimpse of the type of man Greg Cage is-hot, dominant, loyal, and protective. Now that Izzy is safe in the arms of Axel, Cage realizes he wants what they have- unconditional love, a partner, someone to protect. He's been filling his time with meaningless bodies until he locks eyes with Beauty. He knows there is something different about her and can't wait to figure out what it is.

Melissa has her heart on lock down. She refuses to let anyone break down her walls as she works as sole provider for her mother and nephew. The moment she locks eyes with Cage? Well, it's a wrap. Cue Taylor Swift "Trouble" because that man is nothing but heartache waiting to happen.

When they can't stay away from each other anymore their relationship ignites. It's hot, comforting, and throws Cage completely off when he learns how their worlds are more intertwined then he thought was possible. There's always twists in turns (let's face it-that's what makes books amazing!) and this book has plenty of them. When Melissa learns what Cage has been hiding her world shatters. Does she forgive him? Does she put her walls back up??

Holy. Eff. Another amazing book from Harper Sloan.
Cage is out of the ball park hot. Yes, he's hot..but ding ding ding-he's got the trifecta-yep ladies THREE piercings that he definitely knows how to use.

"Huge, thick, and decorated."

On top of the physical stuff (yes, there's more than just physical hotness!) he's got the alpha personality-protective demanding, loyal and WANTS to be there for Melissa.

"You don't have to be strong all the time. Let me take it, Beauty. Let me be your rock. Let ME fight. For Christ sake, let me be who you need."
And Melissa? Well she's hell on wheels. She takes shit as well as she gives it. She's an undercover bad ass wrapped in an the perfect combination of sexy and sweet. So when she and Cage come together??? It's explosive.

Oh, did I mention the guest star of the book?? Oh yes, Braxxon Breaker from the Breakneck MC. HOW MUCH HOTNESS CAN ONE BOOK HAVE?!

The book did have one downfall which was it's length..or maybe it was just that I'm obsessed and read it in one sitting. It was wayyyy too short for me-but then again I'll never have enough of these men and sat for hours reading all the steamy details.

All in all Harper Sloan continues to hold my heart and make me squeal like a little girl when I see what she her name pop up with something new. I am bursting at the seems for Beck!!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Harper lives in small town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed ‘Estrogen Ocean’, much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her ereader attached. As an ex-reviewer and blogger, Harper’s passion for reading runs deep. It wasn’t until ‘Axel’ decided to take up residence that she realized her true calling.

She started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn’t take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to have their story told.
